“We both see the University pri
marily as a way to educate people,
but also as a sector in the economy
that creates jobs,” she said. The
University’s attempts to create part
nerships with biomedical firms and
provide student scholarships
through private donations most im
pressed her, she said.
Because of the large number of
undecided Democratic voters, Eu
gene and the University will play
large roles in the primary for gover
nor, she said. Also, the universities
across Oregon will see a lot of Stein
because she has targeted students
as a important interest group, and
has created “Students for Stein”
contacts at 15 schools.
“Students will certainly have an
interest in who their next governor
will be,” she said.
While the Democratic primary is
still more than three months away,
Oregon’s fiscal crisis is forcing can
didates to answer voter’s questions
on tax and spending issues. Stein
said she heard economic worries
while politicking at the EMU.
“Students are nervous about the
economy; they want jobs,” she said.
She would like to work with busi
ness leaders throughout the state to
create a plan to recruit and retain
more jobs to Oregon.
“We want jobs available for the
future,” she said. “We want to keep
young people here and put their ed
ucation to use.”
Candidates from both parties
have been chided by state leaders
for not offering alternate budget
proposals for the state’s fiscal crisis.
However, candidates should stick
with budget philosophies and stay
away from specifics, said Carl Ho
sticka, professor of public policy.
“The budget crisis is a third-rail
topic: You touch it, you die.” said
Hosticka, who represented South
Eugene from 1983-94 in the Ore
gon House.
If a candidate expresses an opin
ion on a current budget issue, he
said, the Legislature may drag the
candidate further into the debate.
“We are probably better off by
(candidates) not getting into the de
tails,” he said.
Pauline Austin, spokeswoman
for President Frohnmayer, said he
will be meeting with each of the six
major candidates for governor.
However, the nature of those talks
are not known.
“I presume they will be talking
about the concerns of the Universi
ty in regards to the state of Oregon,”
she said.

Romoser said. “I also really saw
what I learned in international
studies ... the consequences of in
ternational development on the
Puerto Rican people, their country
and their environment.”
She said her biggest difficulty
with the whole experience had
nothing to do with the program it
self; it was the “lack of public plan
ning” in Puerto Rico. She said she
lived 15 miles from the beach but
couldn’t get there because of insuf
ficient public transit.
Senior journalism major Jody
Campbell is attending the Universi
ty from Humboldt State University
in California. She decided to join
r
the NSE so she could continue
school after moving to Oregon with
her husband.
Campbell said she liked the Uni
versity community and has enjoyed
meeting a lot of new people. She
said she was impressed by the re
sources of the University’s School
of Journalism and Communication.
“It’s a good program,” Camp
bell said. “They’ve got a lot of
new technology.”
Experiences differ with each
participant, Cooper said. Skye
Drnek, a sophomore pre-physical
therapy major from California
Polytechnic State University at
San Luis Obispo, said her biggest
complaint was meteorological.
“I liked the rain at first, but by the
end of the term I was really sick of
it,” Drnek said. “Other than that, I
didn’t have too many dislikes. I
liked the whole thing.”
Drnek came to the University to
take some of her school’s general
education requirements, not be
cause of any certain programs or
classes that interested her. For her,
it was just for the experience of a
new environment.
“It was basically the opportunity
to experience how different schools
can be,” she said. “I met so many
people and had so many opportu
nities to do things I wouldn’t have
been able to do (in California). I
would definitely recommend it,”
she said.
