Search begins for new
affirmative action director
After nine years as director of the
Office of Affirmative Action, Ken
neth Lehrman is leaving the Uni
versity to take a position with
Pennsylvania State University.
University Provost John Moseley
announced Thursday that the Uni
versity would launch a national
search to replace Lehrman, who
will begin working as Penn State’s
director of affirmative action and
Diversity Support Center on July 1.
Lehrman said his position at
Penn State would pose an “in
credible challenge professional
ly,” and while his time at the Uni
versity has been rewarding, the
opportunity to work at a larger
school with more resources was
one he could not ignore.
“I think this institution does an
incredible job with limited re
sources,” he said. “But I did my
homework and recognized what an
outstanding institution Penn State
is and what an appealing opportu
nity this is.”

MFA to benefit
from Badges of Hope
Studies show 15- to 24-year-olds
are at a greater risk of getting
meningococcal meningitis, espe
cially students living in residence
halls, according to the Meningitis
Foundation of America. That’s why
Kappa Delta sorority, Sigma Phi Ep
silon fraternity and the Residence
Hall Association set up tables out
side the bookstore and the resi
dence halls to sell silver and pink,
ribbon-shaped pins for the Badges
of Hope philanthropy.
The money raised will go to the
MFA, whose mission is meningitis
education, prevention and victim
support.
“We hope to promote awareness
about the disease and educate the
public,” Kappa Delta member Nik
ki Navarro said.
Sigma Phi Epsilon member Tyler
Traudt said the issue hits particu
larly “close to home” because Kap
pa Delta member Jill Dieringer died
of meningitis in February 2001.
“It’s a philanthropy that has a
deeper meaning for us because it’s
affected us on a personal level,” he
said.
Before Thursday, about 280 pins
had already been sold to sororities
and fraternities, Sigma Phi Epsilon
member Glen Pak said. He said
sales were going well Thursday.
President Frohnmayer accepted
a pin in support of the philanthro
py Thursday morning from Kappa
Delta sorority council officer Melis
sa Winkler.

Robertson said. “I hope people take
advantage of the program.”
St. Vincent de Paul supervises
the program for EWEB, and direc
tor of self sufficiency services Gay
lene Glidewell said between 20
and 25 percent of the assistance is
given to students.
Parent income is not considered
when a student applies for the pro
gram. Students merely need to
present a copy of their financial
award letters and most recent tax
returns to show income eligibility
for Energy Share.
“We have no problems with stu
dents,” Glidewell said. “We love to
help students.”
The program has relied on pri
vate donations in the past, but
EWEB has added $1.8 million in
funding this year to supplement
the $125,000 raised through dona
tions. The program will hand out
the $1.9 million total by the end of.
the year, and has distributed
$20,000 a week since Jan. 1.
“The money is there for people
to take advantage of,” Robertson
said.
Officials said the EnergyShare
program is an important way to
get people back on their feet.
EWEB typically writes off
$300,000 a year in past-due bills,
but the amount surpassed $1 mil
lion in 2001 because of the eco
nomic downturn and rising ener
gy costs.
Glidewell said EWEB’s ap
proach to customer’s inability to
pay is unique.
^There’s no other utility in Lane
County that does what EWEB does
with this program,” she said.
provides aone-ttme credit of up to
S300.cn a customer's utiHty DHi..
To qualify, the customer must make
less than $1402 a month, or $2695
for a family, and have received an
urgent reminder, final notice or
disconnect notice from EW68 and
nothave taken part in the program
within the last year
Elizabeth Bickford, University
Director of Financial Aid, said
she’s glad EWEB is lending a hand.
When calculating financial aid,
“We have to take a standard budget
and apply it to everyone,” she said.

ergyShare program, call 689-6747.

tions to the Communist Party.
Again, we need only one voice to
stand strong against communism.
Q: If two student groups were at
odds with each other, how would
you resolve the conflict?
A: Dueling pistols. This is a simple
and elegant solution, don’t you think?
The group whose representative sur
vives the duel is obviously the group
who wins the conflict. Eventually
there will be no conflicts because the
groups will be too concerned about
dying to whine about problems.
Q: If there was one thing you can
change about the University in
stantly, what would it be?
A: I would instantly eliminate all
subversives on campus. Subversives
detract from the campus environment,
and I would like to see them removed.
Q: How would you do things dif
ferently than the current ASUO ex
ecutive?
A: The ASUO would no longer be
a place friendly to communism.
Subversives would learn to fear the
ASUO office. The current adminis
tration is communist-loving and far
too left. I would be much, much dif
ferent.

Jim Willis, search committee
member and state board member
until 2001, recorded each comment
on a sheet of paper and asked re
spondents follow-up questions.
Some attended to ask that the
chancellor maintain and enhance
collaborative efforts between uni
versities and public schools be
cause public schools stock future
university classes.
Jamon Kent, superintendent for
the Springfield Public School Dis
trict, said these collaborative efforts
also enrich public-school opera
tions because university researchers
can share important information
public school leaders are seeking.
“For example, the Institute of Vio
lence and Destructive Behavior has
been working with us on various
strategies to reduce violence in
schools,” he said. “When we can drive
20 minutes to find someone who can
help us, that’s quite a resource. ”
Community member Bruce Miller
said the search committee can’t af
ford to rest on its laurels waiting for a
qualified candidate to come forward.
The committee must actively seek a
candidate of this stature, he said. If
Oregon head football coach Mike Bel
lotti “went to the NFL, the Athletic
Department would pick the five best
football coaches in the U.S.” to re
place him, Miller said.
Willis responded that the system
couldn’t pay a salary of the caliber
paid the chancellor of Maryland’s
higher education system —
$345,000 a year. Cox makes
$149,004 a year, according to OUS
human resources.
Though low by industry stan
dards, Cox’s salary and benefits
drew criticism from OPEU mem
bers. They printed 100 orange
“Help Wanted” flyers and passed
them out on campus.
“The perks were just a point of
reference for people to realize
where their money is spent,” said
Cheri Smith, president for Service
Employees International
Union/OPEU Local 085. “The chan
cellor’s office has not proven they
can provide us with more personal
ized service or take care of us.
They’ve actually gotten more dis
tant from us.”
