Frohnmayer: State funding causes shortfall

sorb after years already spent
trimming.”
Frohnmayer also said the defi
nition groups believed the Uni
versity should define what a Uni
versity education should be in the
21st century.
“This is a huge issue,” he said,
“daunting in size and potentially
paralyzing in complexity.”
The main educational mission
for the millennium, Frohnmayer
said, is to “transform lives
through knowledge.”
“We transform lives through
unfettered inquiry, the synthesis
of new knowledge and its gener
ous transmission to our students
and the world,” he said.
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

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. ^

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.”

Shortly after 2:30 a.m., David

shoot the police if they respond

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

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

Baker fired a shot through the wall
next to the front door where offi
cers were positioned, police said.

er and was taken into custody.
