Leading history
Black History Month person of the day
Reginald Lewis was bom Dee. 7,1942, to a working*
class Baltimore family. He worked his first job at age 10,
delivering the black community newspaper in Baltimore.
One summer, Lewis was away at camp and his moth
er delivered the route for him. When he returned, his
mother refused to give him the profits, saying she had
done all the work. Lewis threatened to sue her, and she
finally gave him the money, along with a business les
son: Set your terms upfront.
Lewis earned a football scholarship at what is now
Virginia State University, but after a shoulder injury, he
pushed football aside and earned a degree in econom
ics. During a summer minority program at Harvard
Law School, he impressed professors there and was
granted admission without taking the entrance exam.
After working at several law firms, Lewis opened TLG
Group, a venture capital firm. In 1987, he engineered the
largest leveraged buyout ever of an international compa
ny when he acquired Beatrice, a France-based food com
pany, for $985 million. At its peak in 1996, TLG Beatrice
had sales of $2.2 billion, was No. 512 on Fortune maga
zine’s list of 1,000 largest companies and was the largest
black-owned American company.
With a personal fortune estimated at $400 million,
Lewis was also a distinguished philanthropist. His 1992
gift to Harvard Law School was at the time the largest
single donation the school had received.
Lewis died of brain cancer in January 1993.

News brief
Planning committee
approves construction
of cellular tower
University Campus Planning
Committee members approved a
proposal to build a 120-foot cellular
tower and adjoining 22-by-36 build
ing to house communication equip
ment adjacent to the Hayward Field
west grandstand, and will forward
their recommendation to University
President Dave Frohnmayer.
However, committee Planning As
sociate Christine Thompson said
construction of the facility might not
begin for up to two years. Sprint PCS
would be the first cellular provider
located inside the tower, but two or
three more bays would be built to
house other providers and a possible
ticket office or storage space.
The committee expressed several
concerns about the tower — includ
ing the possibility of a light that
would be placed 120 feet up on the
tower to make airplanes and heli
copters aware of the structure. Com
mittee members decided not to con
sider this factor in their decision, but
several did say they were concerned
with the proximity of the structure
to the south turf playing field. Com
mittee members discussed the pos
sibility of the tower or building being
damaged by soccer balls or students
running into the building.
The committee was also not
aware of who would be the owner of
the tower and adjacent building, but
Thompson said since the University
owns the land, it will call the shots.
University officials set several
guidelines for the planning commit
tee and Sprint to follow. The struc
ture needs to be more than 100 feet
from a childcare facility or residen
tial housing, cannot interfere with
University telecommunications or
research needs and cannot be locat
ed in any area around or next to any
historic building. The tower is also
supposed to blend in with the exist
ing environment.

Recall
continued from page 1
concrete guidelines for such a
process.
“There aren’t any rules about re
calls,” PFC senator seat No. 3 Mike
Sherman said. “At least, I can’t find
any in our bylaws.”
In the petition, Kleckner requests
that the court “find it unconstitu
tional for the ASUO Programs Fi
nance Committee to vote on or con
duct recall hearings until such time
as the rules and procedures govern
ing recall hearings have been pub
lished, approved by the ASUO Con
stitution Court and distributed to all
hearing participants.”
PFC voted to recall the Emerald’s
and the Career Center’s student fee
allocation Thursday. However,
PFC’s vote took place before the
committee actually voted on
whether to discuss recalls. The
newspaper’s budget was initially ap
proved Feb. 6 at 8123,370, a 2.81
percent increase, while the Career
Center’s budget of 8210,325, a
13.82 percent increase, was initial
ly approved Jan. 27.
Kleckner said his objection to a
recall is that no one can deter
mine if PFG’s actions follow proce
dure because the committee has
not provided criteria that define
when, where or how groups can
be recalled.
PFC already voted to recall four
other groups’ budgets — Student
Senate, PFC, Child Care Subsidy
and the Multicultural Center. The
Emerald’s and the Career Center’s
budget recall hearings were sched
uled to take place today, but the
court’s stay forbids PFC from pro
ceeding until justices can reach a
decision about Kleckner’s petition.
Other student groups have had
problems with PFC’s processes of
reviewing budget proposals this
year. Kit Douglas, campus organ
izer for the Oregon Student Pub
lic Interest Research Group, said
the committee failed to give OS
PIRG members sufficient notice
of their appeal.

PFC holds a recall hearing for
four groups that did not
budget for the minimum wage
increase.

“We didn’t ever receive any type
of e-mail or telephone call that the
appeal was happening,” Douglas
said, although she did add that PFC
allowed OSPIRG to switch the ap
peal to another day.
The committee has consistently
maintained that public notice is
given when the group posts notices
of meetings on the window outside
the ASUO controller’s office. PFC
Chairwoman Kate Shull said she
told all program budget managers
last year about the window-posting
system that gave groups their re
quired notice. But Douglas said as
the new OSPIRG leader, she was
never informed about the policy.
Charlotte Nisser, general manag
er for campus radio station KWVA
88.1, said PFC’s sometimes am
biguous methods of operation
caused difficulties in the group’s
presentation of their budget pro
posal — and subsequent appeal.
Nisser said KWVA was not informed
about the proper procedures to fol
low, and PFC did not give the group
enough advance notice of the date
of its appeal.
“We didn’t know what to expect
...I wasn’t told what the process
would be,” Nisser said.
Constitution Court Justice
Michael Harris said he needs to talk
about Kleckner’s petition with the
four other justices, and he prom
ised that the court will reach a de
cision with “all due haste.”
He added that once the court de
cides to convene, the process will
go forward as rapidly as possible.
Unless justices decide to hold a
hearing to collect more informa
tion, court deliberations will be
closed to the public.
