make it a campaign priority.”
University Foundation spokeswoman Ann Mack
said this is the second comprehensive fundraising
campaign the University has held in the last decade.
The Oregon Campaign ran from 1992 to 1998 and
raised $255.3 million. During the campaign, the Uni
versity increased its annual fundraising from $15 mil
lion to $35 million per year.
“It was the most successful private funding cam
paign in the history of the University,” Mack said.
Despite the University’s increased drive to acquire
donations, the comprehensive fundraising campaign
is still in its infancy stage because the University has
n’t decided what projects they’re specifically asking
donors to fund. However, a committee composed of
faculty, administration, staff and students has been
formed to help in setting priorities.
Biology Professor Nathan Tublitz, along with fel
low Internal Campaign Advisory Committee mem
bers, will review more than 300 proposals and sug
gest important ways to spend fundraising money.
Tublitz said he has already read through all of the
proposals, and now the challenge is to organize and
prioritize them before making suggestions to Uni
versity President Dave Frohnmayer on how to set
campaign prerogatives.
Price said the money raised through the compre
hensive fundraising campaign is not meant to be a
bandage for the University’s uncertain financial fu
ture. He added the state provides less than 18 per
cent of the University’s overall budget, and poten
tial donors are not impressed by an appeal for
funds. Price said the University needs to weather
the current and projected budget crisis in order to
sustain philanthropic interest in the University.
“The challenge is how to keep the University op
erating at a high enough level that donors see us as
a good investment opportunity,” Price said.

will pay a 810 surcharge for every
credit taken during winter and
spring terms, which will slap most
students with about a 8300 addition
al charge and will raise roughly 84.1
million. The University will absorb
up to 82.4 million to make up the
86.5 million shortfall the measure’s
failure would cause. Frohnmayer
said students shouldn’t plan to
be refunded for the potential tuition
surcharge even if the state’s budget
improves.
“Frankly, we can’t budget on
that,” he said. “The decisions that
we’re making here are decisions
that will last us through June and
through the school year.
Republican state Rep. Pat Farr
also spoke Friday, joining Frohn
mayer in support of the measure.
Farr, a former Eugene city councilor,
said voters shouldn’t turn down the
initiative just because the issue was
originally the Legislature’s responsi
bility.
“One of the biggest criticisms of
Measure 28 that I hear is it lets the
Legislature off the hook,” he said.
“Well that’s patently not the case.
The Legislature is not off the hook;
this just gives us a little bit of extra
time, a little bit of breathing room,
to move the economy forward on a
broad front.”
Phil Donovan, a Yes on 28 cam
paign manager, said students should
heed Frohnmayer’s message and
turn out to vote Tuesday.
“They’re all university concerns,
and students have something at
stake,” Donovan said. “Students
have got to vote, and we hope they’ll
realize they have a tuition increase
at stake.”

possession of i ohol charges.
EPD spokii. woman Kerry Delf
said Buzbee also was temporarily
detained so the officers could deal
with the remaining party guests.
Buzbee declined an interview
with the Emerald, but he did release
a statement.
“Early Saturday morning, I was
served a citation alleging that I fur
nished to minors,” he said. “Police
entered my residence without a
warrant, without my consent and
under circumstances that I believe
did not allow them to legally enter. I
have obtained legal counsel and she
has recommended no further com
ment while this case is pending.”
The officers who first responded
to the loud party were not immedi
ately available for comment on
Buzbee’s statement. EPD spokes
woman Pam Olshanski said she was
not familiar with the details of this
case, but in most cases, officers at
tempt to speak with the responsible
host away from the party guests and
ask him or her to tone down the
party. However, if officers find that
partygoers are loud and belligerent,
they usually can’t isolate the host
for a private conversation. She
added that if the officers observe
any illegal activity taking place, they
are obliged to respond as necessary.
ASUO spokeswoman Lacy Ogan
said while student government is
concerned about Buzbee’s citation,
the ASUO Executive needs to wait
for more information before acting.
The president of Delta Sigma Phi,
Buzbee’s fraternity, was not available
for comment. Last year, however,
greek representatives made predic
tions that the University’s alcohol
ban in greek houses would lead to an
increase in off-campus parties.

Anelauskas, a longtime resident
of the area, said parties like the one
he reported are frequently disrup
tive and sometimes happen as often
as once a month.
“They don’t care about their be
havior,” Anelauskas said. “They are
not afraid of getting into trouble.”
Anne Leavitt, vice president for
student affairs and dean of stu
dents, said she did not feel com
fortable speaking about Buzbee’s
citation and wouldn’t comment on
a pending conduct investigation on
a student. She did say, however,
the University has very stringent
rules about use of alcohol, and
it is disturbing when students
ignore University regulations and
federal laws.
“Anytime a student behaves irre
sponsibly, it reflects poorly on the
University,” Leavitt said.
