k3KW Worth Looking Into!
Donations
continued from page 1
In the case of St. Olaf, where
Buntrock sat on the school's board
for 23 years, officials maintain that
these are allegations and Buntrock
has declared his innocence, that his
gift to St. Olaf was a personal one
and not from Waste Management,
and that Buntrock has long demon
strated a commitment to the school.
“There's been a whole bunch of
good that's come from this partic
ular man and this particular fami
ly,” says Bill Carlson, chairman of
the school's economics depart
ment. “The emphasis being on the
good that comes from private gifts
to any college. That's the way this
sector operates. We have to rely
upon donors.”
Augsburg College in Minneapo
lis kept a 1987 donation of
$500,000 from an alumnus notori
ous for sending anonymous letters
urging racial and religious purity,
even after the college found out
what he was doing. He unsuccess
fully sued to get the money back.
The University of North Dakota
kept a $100 million gift for a hockey
arena from an alumnus who threat
ened to pull the plug midway
through construction unless school
officials agreed to keep the school's
nickname, the Fighting Sioux.
Some Native Americans find the
nickname offensive, but school of
ficials agreed to keep the name —
and the gift — anyway.
“It's the sort of nightmare sce
nario for a person in a fund-raising
position,” says Mark Dienhart, who
oversees fund-raising efforts at the
University of St. Thomas. “Your in
stitutional reputation and what you
stand for is a precious commodity.”
St. Olaf philosophy professor
Ed Langerak thinks the school can
use its current situation as a teach
ing tool. The school, after all, re
quires every student to take an
ethics class.
“I would just raise the question
between ethical constraints and
capital exploitation of corporate
loopholes,” Langerak says. “I'm not
saying Buntrock did anything. (But)
this issue would be a good one.”

Assisted suicide
continued from page 1
Robert McCallum said in a
Wednesday statement.
If the federal government appeals
the case, both sides contend it may
go all the way to the Supreme
Court. Eli Stutsman, lead attorney
for the assisted suicide advocacy
group Oregon Death With Dignity,
said the 9th Circuit Court has a
proven track record of siding with
states’ rights on past cases.
But Atteberry of Oregon Right To
Life maintained that the Supreme
Court has a history of overturning
decisions from the 9th Circuit Court.
“This ruling will be appealed,”
Atteberry said. “We’ll continue to
fight, and we’re optimistic in the
end that the appeal will be up
held.”
