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.

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.”

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

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.
