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

Alumni Association Director
Daniel Rodriguez said the event is
used as tool to encourage students
to participate in campus organiza

“It’s a great opportunity for stu
dents to get involved in campus

the student because they get an
idea of what it feels like to be that
person.”

The Neutral Observer Program ...
what is it?
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.
