News brief
Judges name Rob Edwards
2nd annual Mr. Greek
After the votes were in and points
were tallied, Delta Upsilon fraternity
member Rob Edwards was named
Mr. Greek on Tuesday night. The 2nd
annual event combined fundraising
with pageant-style competition. All
fraternities were encouraged to par
ticipate, and 15 housed and not
housed chapters "donated" a repre
sentative to the cause.
A sell-out crowd turned out for the
event. Tickets were sold for $5 in ad
vance and $7 at the door, with pro
ceeds benefiting the Cardiac Care
Unit at Sacred Heart Medical Center.
Organizers aren’t sure of the total
proceeds until after expenses are cal
culated, Alpha Phi Philanthropy
Chairwoman Ashley Rexius said.
Before the competition, each fra
ternity earned points by selling event
T-shirts and dropping money in a
house jar, each manned outside of
the University bookstore by Alpha
Phi sisters. At the event, one repre
sentative from each participating
house was judged on the basis of a
swimsuit competition, evening
wear, talent, an interview, grades and
congeniality points.
Last year, Nick Montgomery of
Sigma Chi won the competition, and
the event raised more than $5,000.

continued from pagel
not promising to put money into
anything because we have a budget
shortfall.
Q: How do you plan on helping
students afford college when schol
arship funding in this state is being
cut?
A: We need to have access to
scholarships, not only to University
students but to community college
students. It really pains me when I
hear that community college stu
dents are funding their education
on credit cards.
Q: Oregon universities are facing
record enrollment rates, and at the
same time funding is being cut.
How should Oregon universities
try to keep a high quality of educa
tion?
A: Only 20 to 25 percent of fund
ing for our OUS comes from the
state now. The rest comes from tu
ition or other various other kinds of
grants. We should change the gov
ernance structure to give universi
ties more opportunities to be flexi
I
ble and come up with new kinds of
partnerships and relationships. The
key here is making sure that we
fund the whole continuum of edu
cation. If we could get a stable
funding source for K-12, that would
free up money as the economy im
proves for higher education and
other things that we need.
Q: How do you plan on making
yourself accessible to students if
you are elected?
A: I have a record of involving
students in my administration.
When I was at Multnomah County,
I created a youth advisory board . I
sought the input from those stu
dents and got very valuable input.
One of the powers of governor is to
appoint people to boards and com
missions. I would be very interest
ed in appointing young people to
many boards and commissions so
they can get a chance to participate
and put their best thinking in, be
cause I think young people have a
perspective that needs to be heard.
They are the co-creators of the fu
ture, and they should be respected.
Q: Do you think Oregon's educa
tion system is adequately preparing

students for college?
A: We are good. We are better
than most states. But we are not at
the level I'd like to see us, where
every student graduates from high
school prepared to go on even to
college or to other kinds of training
because I think that is the future for
them, in terms of getting a good job
and the future of the state's econo
my to have them working at that
level.
Q: What should this state do to
keep Oregon's top students at in
state colleges and universities?
A: We have to recognize we're
not going to keep every student in
state. I don't think the goal here is to
have 100 percent of our students go
to universities here. I think it's
healthy for them to go away and
come back. But we want them to
come back.
