To resolve these problems, so lution groups will be created, which will have the goal of deter mining the best responses to the issues that the definition groups outlined, Frohnmayer said. He in vited everyone to participate and voice their opinions so solutions can be reached. “Nothing is off limits, nothing is off the table,” he said, explain ing that suggestions can include changing to semester-long classes, creating more cross-disciplinary classes and degree options or dis continuing the system of academ ic departments. Frohnmayer said everyone should participate because the time has come to find solutions to the immediate problems the Uni versity faces so it can effectively prepare students for the next cen tury. “Would you send your child to the University of Oregon?” he asked. "Let us create the kind of university where the answer is an automatic ‘Yes.’” Dean: McGuire expresses mixed emotions ■ Continued from Page 1A will have to be managed like a business,” he said. Provost John Moseley said McGuire has been a strong leader at the University. “He has done dynamic things in the college of business that I suspect we can continue, but we’ll miss his leadership." Moseley is meeting with the administrative council of the business college today to dis cuss selecting an interim dean. During the three-and-a-half years he has been dean, McGuire said one of the greatest accomplishments the college has made was establishing a number of programs that focus on entrepreneurs. He said the best example is the reinvented MBA program that was intro duced in the fall of 1996. At the end of the first year, the program won the U.S. Associa tion of Small Business Entrepreneurs award. “I care a great deal about the college of business and the University,” he said. “The way I do a job is to put my heart and soul into the job.” Because of that, McGuire said he has mixed emotions about leaving the University. (i My view of the ivorld of higher education is that increasingly higher education will have to be managed like a business. ^ Tim McGuire Lunquist College of Business Dean “I'm excited about what I’m going to do,” he said, “and I have quite a bit of pain about what I’m leaving behind.” Police Briefs Officer almost shot during standoff A shot fired by a Eugene man narrowly missed a Eugene police officer early Tuesday morning following an argument between the man and his wife and later a three-hour standoff between the man and police officers, a police report stated. Shortly after 2:30 a.m., David Gordon Baker, 56, was arrested and charged with attempted ag gravated murder and also with outstanding DU1 warrants. Baker’s wife, Rachel Baker, 58, told police that her husband had been drinking for two days and an argument ensued. She also said her husband threatened to shoot the police if they respond ed to the call. Officers arrived at the resi dence at 9:56 p.m. and attempted to enter the apartment. During the attempt to enter, officers heard a gunshot inside the apart ment after which they retreated and called the Eugene Police De partment/Lane County Sheriffs Office SWAT Team. Once the SWAT team arrived, attempts were made to negotiate with Baker, who refused to re spond to police calls. At approxi mately 2:30 a.m., the SWAT team attempted to gain entry into the apartment. During the attempt, Baker fired a shot through the wall next to the front door where offi cers were positioned, police said. The shot narrowly missed Sgt. Jay Shadwick, after which the SWAT team retreated and again attempted to negotiate with Bak er. Baker appeared at the front door unarmed a few minutes lat er and was taken into custody.
