Tour: Experts to review program
• Continued from Page 1
The tour will stop at Johnson,
Gilbert, Condon and Chapman
halls a.^well as the Knight Li
brary and the education building,
she said. These halls are signifi
cant because they represent some
of Lawrence's ideas for the layout
and style of campus architecture,
she said.
This is the second year that the
program has coordinated and
sponsored the National Historic
Preservation Week activities in
the Eugene-Springfield area,
Brush said. The cities used to
fund the program, but they
stopped in 1996 after the budget
crunch created by Measure 47,
she said.
“We want people to get out
there and experience [the histo

ry],” she said.
“Preservation Begins at Home”
is this year’s theme.
The program’s work on preser
vation week couldn’t have come
at a better time, said graduate stu
dent Maia Brindley, who worked
on the campus walking tour last
year. The week is running con
currently with the Historic
Preservation Program’s first-ever
program review.
Graduate programs are sup
posed to be reviewed every 10
years to ensure that they are of
fering the right classes and main
taining a high standard, Brindley
said.
Historic preservation experts
from the National Parks Service,
Cornell University and the Presi
dent’s Advisory Council on
Preservation will be reviewing
the program, she said, adding
that an internal review will also
Elections: Board may solidity rules

“Basically, that’s like saying you have to have the
words ‘I’m working for the elections board’ and ‘I’m
campaigning for a candidate’ come out of your
mouth at the same time,” Brewington said.
Unger also spent time in an elections booth,
which, according to Brewington and Gross, is a vio
lation because he was easily recognizable as a politi
cal figure. Brewington further claimed Unger offered
her a ballot while behind the booth, although Unger
said he wasn’t actually working.
The elections board agreed Unger was only watch
ing the booth because they were understaffed.
Brewington asked that Unger reimburse the Mc
Cartan campaign and be formally sanctioned by the
Senate. Gross asked for new elections and Unger’s
impeachment, which would only be symbolic be
cause Unger’s term ends this month.
Both sides in the second hearing presented their
cases as drawings on a chalkboard. Peter Enslow, a
coordinator for the anti-OSPIRG Honesty Campaign,
said Jereme Gryzbowski had influenced voters at a
polling booth near Carson Hall.
Gryzbowski agreed he had represented himself,
OSPIRG and Progressive Slate candidates inside the
Carson lobby. But he said he was well outside the 50
foot no-campaign boundary.
Enslow argued that his influence extended
throughout the lobby and therefore could have af
fected voters, even if he was physically outside the
boundary.
The court was scheduled to hear a third case Mon
day, but one of the parties could not attend, Corco
ran said. It will consider that case in private session,
he said.
The complaints show that the elections board
needs to solidify its rules — all sides agreed on that.
Unger compared the elections to kindergarten and
said it was about time for recess.
“It’s starting to get a litth hildish,” he said. “To
have to sit through this is embarassing to everyone
involved.
“We’re getting to a point when: we need to figure out
how things get done. Next yea will be smooth sailing.”
Greeks: Chapter reports will be accessible

but this is a long-term change, and
lagging organizations will be
helped to comply.
All 10 sororities already have
live-in staff, so they will have an
easier time complying with the
standards. The fraternities do
not have live-in staff, and this
will be an added financial bur
den to them. Requiring members
to live in the houses eight or nine
terms will help relieve some of
the financial burden, and it may
free some chapters to upgrade
their houses.
The "consumer report” will be
available before incoming fresh
men visit for IntroDUCKtion over
the summer. Although students
might not look for an endorsed
chapter, they might look for indi
vidual criteria.
“The student and the parents
can pick which things are impor
tant,” Sutherland said. “When
students and parents come to
school, they ask a lot of ques
tions about the greek system.”
In the past, the answers to those
questions have been general be

cause of the fraternities’ diversity,
she said.
"To answer generally doesn’t
really give very good informa
tion,” Sutherland said.
Ramsdell said she expects stu
dents to use the annual report
when deciding on which fraterni
ty or sorority to join.

“ Whenever you go through rush
you are kind of confused and take
whatever information they give
you,” she said, “The endorse
