Green continued from page 1 Republicans, not Swanson, because they were not directly attributed to her on the poster. “I think it’s a shame that certain people on the right wing of the po litical spectrum need to use libel and political buzz words instead of reason and open dialogue to get their agenda across,” Eugene resi dent Greg Gallagher said. “To say Greens are communists is to say Re publicans are fascists.” However, College Republicans chairman Matt Pfeiffer said Swan son is being brought to campus not z' — to bash the Green Party, but rather to offer contrasting views. “She has some good points on the environment and what should be done to protect or not protect it, and on Green poli tics,” he said. “She brings up points people haven’t thought of, and it can be a learning experi ence for people on both sides of the fence — liberal and conserva tive,” he said. Admission is free and open to the public. For more information, call 346-4347. E-mail reporter Robin Weber at robinweber@dailyemerald.com. Yellow Jackets continued from page 1 and observe suspicious or criminal activity and safety hazards, and provide safety escorts to students and staff on campus. Officials have been quick to point out the role of the volunteers is not to be Big Brother. “The intent of this is to provide visibility,” DPS spokesman Tom Hicks said. “We’re not necessarily training the Yellow Jackets to look around for people with a beer or open container.” While volunteers probably won’t be calling for backup if they spot a low-level infraction such as students skateboarding on cam pus, Yellow Jackets might relay accounts of students smoking marijuana. “It’s probably something we’d re port,” Madden said. The program is in its test phase right now. Eventually project or ganizers hope for as many as 168 people, which would allow the group to conduct three two-hour patrols every night of the week, with two pairs of volunteers in each patrol. But with only 15 people for spring term, Yellow Jackets are al ready planning their revised hours. “We’ll have fewer shifts, fewer days and less pairs out,” said Mad den, who plans to devote six hours a week to the project. “It’s a pilot program, definitely.” Volunteer and faculty member Anne Leavitt, associate vice presi dent for Student Affairs, said she thinks more students and staff will participate in the program once they see the highly visible patrols. “Ideally, the students themselves ought to be the patrol,” Leavitt said. “But I think more staff ought to do this.” E-mail reporter Brook Reinhard atbrookreinhard@dailyemerald.com. 013943 Applying Psychology to the Real World Department of Psychology, Summer Session, 2002 Join us for an exciting summer of Psychology!

Roberts continued from page 1 any confidence that student aid will be increased on a permanent basis, but I know that tuition in creases will. As the only one of the six major candidates for governor who actually went to the Universi ty of Oregon, I feel very strongly we ought to make this affordable. But I can’t make a promise as to what’s going to happen with tuition. I do think the universities need to have some flexibility as to.the tuition they charge. Q: Do you support higher pay for university faculty? A: I do. We have one of the low est pay rates in the country. I’m hoping that the passage of Ballot Measure 10, which will give us the ability to do some more entrepre neurial things with our research, will give us some resources to com pete better with that. But we’ve got to make a commitment to pay our faculty better. Q: How do you plan on helping students afford college when scholar ship funding in this state is being cut? A: It’s a two-pronged issue of try ing to hold the cost of tuition and student aid. I can’t make any ab solute promises we’re going to do that, but those are things that are important to me. Q: Oregon Universities are facing record enrollment rates, and at the same time funding is being cut. How do you propose that Oregon Universities keep a high quality of education? A: It’s going to take money and a commitment to a vision of what we want to do as a state. We really need to have a better view of how we’re going to manage the entire system. I favor the more entrepreneurial r For afull transcript of this interview, including extra questions, goto www.daiiyemeraid.com. course that the system is allowing Universities to follow. I’m interest ed in trying to make sure we have the commitment to fund under graduate programs, which have been underfunded for years and to also make sure we target our invest ments in higher education in ways that relate to the economy we want to have in the future. Q: How do you plan on making yourself accessible to students if you’re elected? A: I’ll start being more accessible than (Gov. John) Kitzhaber’s been. One of the things I did when I was at Oregon State University was they asked me if I’d be willing to have a debate there in the general election if I were one of the candidates. I said yeah, that’s a great idea. I’d like to have regular, recurring interac tion with students. Q: Do you think Oregon’s educa tion system is adequately preparing students for college? A: Most kids who go through our schools who are planning on going to college do come out adequately prepared. That doesn’t mean they couldn’t be better prepared. Q: What should this state do to keep Oregon’s top students at in state colleges and universities? A: We have to be good enough that people want to go here and we have to be affordable so they can go here. Those things are often in con flict, and unfortunately the only thing that bridges that gap is the commitment.
