University Day continued from page 1A dent and alumni volunteers have been wonderful.” With sidekick Christine Carson, a sophomore journalism major who won a contest to follow the president around for the day, Frohnmayer handed out the Thomas Herman Faculty Achieve ment Awards and gave speeches at the Oregon Hall ceremony and at the dedication of the Glenn Starlin Courtyard at the University Muse um of Natural History. “This is a really nice day to cel ebrate the good things here,” Car son said. “There’s been so much bad stuff going around lately that it’s nice to return to what we came here for.” As interim co-president, Carson met with Michael Redding, Uni versity vice president for govern mental affairs, and members of Frohnmayer’s executive staff for a briefing on community relations. “She’s been involved in some important policy-making deci sions, so she’s the accountable one,” Frohnmayer said jokingly in his speech. Carson said she saw Frohnmay er’s schedule and was surprised at how busy he is. “I don’t know when he sleeps,” Carson said of Frohnmayer’s schedule, which is nearly full for the next 18 months. The opportunity to trade places for Carson was provided through the Student Alumni Association, which holds the contest each year. Traditionally, the president and the student trade duties for the day, but because of the day’s events, Frohn mayer said it was not possible to at tend Carson’s classes. “He just didn’t want to take my test,” Carson said. “I like it better when we’re side by side,” Frohnmayer said. “It’s All Ways Travel • Spring Sale • Las Vegas - $168.00* Vew York -$350.00* Hong Kong -$669.00* Bangkok -$709.00* *tax not included, restrictions may apply.

The Neutral Observer Program provides trained obsei-vers (students, faculty, staff) at events that take place on the University of Oregon campus. Their role is to observe the activity of all parties who are present at the event. If a situation arises that presents potential damage to people or to property, the observer(s) make note of what they see. When appropriate, they write a report of their observations. This report may lie used in the event that action is taken as a result of the escalation. Observes are not on anyone's side and are trained to make behavioral observations rather than judgments or interpretations. Observers can Ire easily identified by the bright yellow "neutral observer” badge worn around their neck. This program is coordinated by Conflict Resolution Services (CRS). It is modeled after programs of the same name at UC Berkeley and the University of Colorado that were developed in the 1960s. Some points to consider: • If you are organizing a group event and would like to have neutral observe is present, please call CRS at 346-4240. • If you are aware of a group event, such as a protest, demonstration, speak-out. or sit-in (particularly those that have not been widely publicized), please call Conflict Resolution Services (346-0617 or 346-4240) to share that information. We will then assess whether it is appropriate to have neutral observers present at the event. • If you have comments or questions about the program, or if you are interested in becoming a volunteer neutral observer, please contact Annie Bentz at 346-0617 or annhb@oregon.uoregon.edu.
