■ Two documentary films
address the issue of
: academic ‘corporatization’
By Ben Romano
Oregon Daily Emerald
“The McCollege Tour,” a film
series touring the country, will
’ visit the University Saturday to
t show two films decrying the
“corporatization” of academia.
The documentaries “Universi
ty Inc.” and “The Subtext of a
Yale Education” have been
screened at three other universi
ties already this fall as part of the
tour, said Kyle Henry, tour coor
dinator and director of “Universi
ty Inc.”
The series, which is being held
in 100 Willamette, is meant to
“challenge the way we perceive
the world and how we receive
our education,” Henry said. He
said that although tour coordina

The finished video will be
edited by Media Services over
the next few days and sent to the
president early next week, Vice
President of Public Affairs Dun
can McDonald said.
Students, faculty, staff and
anyone with a goodwill message
for the president are welcome to
pop in and say “Hi Dave,” Mc
Donald said. Gov. John Kitzhaber
will be on campus today, and
McDonald is hoping that he will
record a message for the presi
dent as well.
Students are also initiating get
well projects. In the EMU Fish
bowl, freshman Keigo Nakaide
started folding paper cranes for
the president on Thursday. In his
native Japanese culture, the
cranes represent hopes or prayers
for good health. He hopes to get

orporate donors, the University
was selected as a stop on the tour
because of its tradition of politi
cal activism.
“University Inc.” uses the clo
sure of the Texas Union Theater,
an independent repertory cine
ma, at the University of Texas at
Austin as an example of pro
grams eliminated because of lack
of funding.
The film also deals with “big
ger issues such as the corporate
ethics at work” in UTA’s deci
sion to close the theater, said
Spencer Parsons, editor of “Uni
versity, Inc.” and a spokesman
for the tom-.
other students involved as he
tries tq make 1,000 paper cranes
in the next few days.
“The main purpose of this pro
ject is to give the president the
power to survive,” he said.

Advocate Vivi Forny said she is
folding cranes because the presi
dent has always been supportive
of international students. She
said she wants to show him what
international students are doing.
“We wanted to do something
different, instead of sending a
card,” she said.
At this time, it is unclear when
Frohnmayer will return to Eu
gene or to the University. In a
statement released Wednesday,
the president thanked everyone
for their prayers and support for
his recovery.
