Some graduates have written that many alumni, in addition to Knight, will second-guess making monetary donations to the Uni versity as a result of this month’s events. “Despite what many students apparently think, alumni are not outsiders. We are stakeholders in the further well-being of the Uni versity and full members of the community,” 1999 graduate Eric D. Jensen wrote in his letter pub lished in the Emerald on April 27. “Our opinions and concerns in the direction of the University should be sought out with at least as much vigor as our fiscal contri butions are.'” Supporters of the University’s { { Despite what many students apparently think, alumni are now outsiders. We are stake holders in the further well-being of the Univer sity and full members of the community. Eric D. Jensen 1999 graduate signing on to the WRC counter that the decision was the result of a year-long process that included an advisory board, on which the president of the alumni associa tion served, a vote by the Univer sity Senate and Frohnmayer’s fi nal signature. Nonetheless, many alumni feel Knight’s alienation from the Uni versity could have been prevent ed if more alumni were included in the process. “The overall feeling is that we should have thought this through better,” Morgan said. “A little more long-term thinking would have helped, and that’s what you get from people in the business community.” However, not all published alumni responses have been crit ical of the University. Elizabeth Joy Howard, a 1999 graduate, praised the University’s decision and wrote, “Why should the University have to inform Knight of the school’s involve ment in the Worker Rights Con sortium?” Though many comments have been passionate, McDonald said all responses have been “family like” and refrained from personal ly criticizing Frohnmayer. “I believe we can continue to work this out as a family,” Mc Donald said. Daughters continued from page 1A The first Take Our Daughters To Work Day was organized eight years ago by the Ms. Foundation, an affiliate of Ms. Magazine. Ac cording to the foundation’s Web site, the day was created to help girls aged nine to 15 years-old transition into adolescence and make them aware of different ca reer opportunities. “These ages are a crucial time for girls," said Karen Logvin, or ganizer of the University event. “They can suffer from self-esteem or depression problems, and their grades dip down.” Logvin, a University child and family services administrator, said boys can also suffer these problems, but girls don’t bounce back as quickly. “Take Our Daughters To Work Day is seen as an intervention to address these issues and to help these girls become aware of the options available to them,” she said. Janis Weeks, a professor and head of the University biology de partment, said when she was in school, “women didn’t receive a lot of encouragement.” “Luckily, I had a few teachers who really encouraged my inter est in science,” she said, “and I eventually went on to do my un dergraduate work at [Massachu setts Institute of Technology].” “This is a really important time for [these girls], so I enjoy doing this to help them,” Weeks said. { {It s so much better now with mentorship programs and things like this. Janice Weeks professor of biolology / J “It’s so much better now with mentorship programs and things like this.” The girls spent about an hour with Weeks looking at the differ ent types of test- animals and learning about insect metamor phosis. Fine arts professor George Kokis hosted 10 girls in a work shop instructing them on playing with clay. “This is a hands-on experience with clay as a medium to give form to ideas,” he said. Kokis taught the girls about working with clay, but the experi ence was more than getting dirty hands. “So much at the UO is head work,” he said. “Here’s a chance for young women to use hands and body. Mainly, I want to give an idea about the importance of work and how art is valued at the University.” Girls and their parents ex pressed excitement about the op portunity to explore a range of dif ferent career fields. Mike McHorse said his young daughter already wants to be a civil engineer, “but I wanted to ex pose her to other things that she might find interesting. I think this is great.” Janna Alley, an architect in the University facilities department and mentor to 14-year-old Sara Luker, said she brought Luker to familiarize her with the campus and to “show her other things that are available out there for women.” “It’s fun for me to learn about this kind of stuff,” Luker said.
