Frohnmayer, students talk it over
■ The two sides discuss on Monday
signing on with the WRC and staying out
of the FLA, but students feel empty as
nothing is signed yet
By Simone Ripke
Oregon Daily Emerald
Approximately 250 students
crammed into the EMU Fir
Room Monday night to attend
an open forum with University
President Dave Frohnmayer and
nine student leaders who have
participated in an ongoing
protest demanding that Frohn
mayer sign on with the Worker
Rights Consortium and increase
shared governance for students.
Students have protested out
side Johnson Hall since Tues
day, and 14 have been arrested
on trespassing charges for refus
ing to leave the administration
building upon closing time.
Throughout the past week,
many students have camped in
tents outside Johnson Hall.
Frohnmayer, who did not re
spond to the protest throughout
the past week, agreed to meet
with student protesters after he
returned from Washington, D.C.,
Saturday to set up Monday’s
meeting.
Students are demanding that
Frohnmayer sign a statement
promising not to join the Fair La
bor Association or any other
monitoring body students con
sider insufficient in enforcing
fair labor practices. Frohnmayer
said joining the FLA has not
been up for debate and is thus
currently not an option being
discussed.
He committed to not joining
the FLA as long as there was no
desire by any University con
stituency to do so but did not

A $500,000 donation from Randy Pape, chair
man of the University Board of Trustees, has put
the vision of a major expansion project for the
University Museum of Art within sight.
Museum officials have raised a total of
$11,155,000 so far, and the goal of raising $12
million will likely be completed by June, said
Christie McDonald, museum director of devel
opment.
“We’re pretty confident we’ll complete it,” she
said. “It won’t be difficult, but it won’t be a cake
walk. It’s like trying to lose those last five pounds
of a diet.”
Most of the funding for the renovation project
comes from the state Legislature’s Capital Con
struction Budget, corporations and donations
from alumni and faculty emeriti. Museum offi
cials also applied for several state grants, many
of which they are still waiting for the final deci
sions.

submit their work for display in a campus gallery
By Eric Pfeiffer
Oregon Daily Emerald
The UO Cultural Forum and the EMU have
come together to provide an environment for
new and experienced artists.
Three different on-campus galleries are avail
able for students to display their photographs,
illustrations, writing and other forms of aes
thetic inspiration.
The Aperture Gallery, which is located near
the food court on the second floor of the EMU,
specializes in photograph exhibits compiled by
University students.
This month, University graduate student
Mick Briscoe has his latest exhibit featured in
the EMU Aperture Gallery. Briscoe graduated
from the University in 1975 and has recently re
turned to begin work on his master’s program
in fine arts photography.
After graduating with a degree in architec
ture, Briscoe took his first photography class at
a community college in 1978.
“After that first experience, I knew photogra
