[University President Dave
Frohnmayer] together after the de
cision was made,” McDonald
said. “I consider this a great error
on my part.”
Alumni also allege the Univer
sity didn’t include its graduates in
the decision-making process but
instead allowed a minority of out
spoken students to make a deci
sion that affected the entire insti
tution.
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.'”

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.
