passed his tastes along to his son.
Ken Olum, a Massachusetts
physicist, said his father loved to
share his hobbies with him when
ever he could.
“His idea of fun was to see how
much calculus he could teach me
during a 6-hour plane ride,” he said
smiling. “He loved a lot of life, and
he did a lot of things.”
But Ken Olum said his father did
not abandon his beliefs when he
became president.
“He had the same values as presi
dent that he had during his whole
life,” he said, fondly recalling a
time when Olum joined University
students in a protest on the steps of
Johnson Hall because he thought
they were doing the right thing.
John Moseley, University provost
and vice president for academic af
fairs, said he will miss Olum as a
colleague, a friend and a mentor.
“Whatever ability I’ve developed
in University administration, I
learned at Paul’s feet,” he said.
Moseley said he valued the time
he spent with Olum, which includ
ed teaching his daughters to swim
in Olum’s pool and also attending
Olum’s retirement party.
Dan Williams, University vice
president for administration, said
his first encounter with Olum was
on the panel to choose the Univer
sity’s president in 1981. He said he
remembered Olum being intelli
gent and caring even before the two
struck up a friendship.
“I loved my time with Paul
Olum. He was a faculty member
who just happened to be presi
dent,” he said.
Schools
continued from page 1
met with vocal response from the
community, especially from the
city of Coburg, where the town’s
only elementary school is targeted
for closure. Though Coburg is a sep
arate city from Eugene, the elemen
tary school is part of the 4J district.
Coburg residents have pleaded
for more time to come up with a so
lution that will allow the school to
remain open.
“The elementary school is the
heart of Coburg,” said Lane County
Commissioner Cindy Weeldreyer.
“If they close the school and moth
ball it, there would still be costs in
volved. There are lots of options, if
we have time to be creative, to keep
that school open and the heart of
the community beating.”
Weeldreyer proposed that the
school and city officials work to
gether on the problem, something
that the Eugene City Council is
looking into, according to City
Councilor David Kelly.
“Coburg needs to maintain its
identity as a rural incorporated com
munity, and not be swallowed up as
just a North Eugene neighborhood,”
Weeldreyer said. “If you take the
school away, you’re ripping the heart
out of that community.”
Despite the announcement of the
closures list, further discussion will
take place before a decision is
made, Slemp said.
After the issue of school closures
came up at the City Council meet- ^
ing Monday, a joint work sessiun*^
between the 4J School District and
the City Council was proposed.
“I think the closures are very un*
fortunate, and that it has a significant
effect on the transportation and com
munity goals Eugene is trying to
achieve,” Kelly said. “If you have
fewer, larger schools, then it’s much
more likely students will have to be
driven to school, which will increase
congestion and pollution.”
A public hearing Monday at
Churchill High School will allow
the committee to hear more ideas
before meeting Feb. 5 to finalize its
decision.
“The good news is people in our
school district like their schools,
but it’s tough financial times, and
we have to do what’s best for the
district,” Slemp said.
