FUNDS
continued from page 1
While the bulk of the funding —
about 90 percent — came from federal
sources like the Department of Health
and Human Services and the Depart
ment of Fxlucation, the University also
received awards and grants from cor
porations, the state and private donors.
Associate Professor of biology
Karen Guillemin received a three-year
grant worth $600,000 from the
American Cancer Society. Her re
search focuses on 1 lelicobacter py
lori, a bacterium that lives in the
stomachs of over half the world's
population and is believed to cause
stomach cancer in certain cases.
"We are trying to understand how
particular strains of the bacterium
cause cellular change that leads to can
cer," Guillemin said. She is working ac
tively with three graduate students.
Linton said that there are several
reasons for the increased amounts of
money for research. One factor is that
"Our faculty are
increasingly competitive
and successful...
and that's a tribute
to the quality and energy
of our faculty."
Richard Linton
University vice president
for Research and Graduate Studies
different federal departments have in
creased their funding for academic
research and development. Another
reason is the University faculty's com
mitment to seeking out financing for
their projects.
"Our faculty are increasingly com
petitive and successful — and it is
competitive — and that's a tribute to
the quality and energy of our faculty,"
Linton said, adding that even new
faculty have been successful in their
quest to bring more funds into the
University's coffers.
Linton said the grants from differ
ent sources were especially critical
for research.
"The state is really not investing
significantly in research," Unton said.
'The only way that it’s going to flour
ish and succeed is through our indi
vidual faculty efforts."

in the courthouse's design.
James Dean, chair of the Human
Rights Commission, said the new
courthouse needed a ramp to improve
accessibility for everyone in Eugene.
He said Eugene is seen as a national
leader in disability access and should
show that with its new courthouse.
"If you have this grandiose federal
building and the main access is just
the stairs, then you are showing peo
ple that you are denying many dis
abled people access to the court
house," Dean said. He said he felt
that there was no local input on the
design of the courthouse.
"Part of the problem is that the
federal government is not listening to
the people," Dean said.
Dean emphasized that though
many community members had
concerns about disability access to
the courthouse, people still support
ed the construction of the building.
"None of these people are saying
that we don't want a courthouse,"
Dean said. "We just want the court
house to appear accessible for all."
Gray said the GSA was aware of the
disabled access issue and is currently
in the middle of a 45-day review to ex
plore the idea of adding a ramp. He
said the agency would determine the
possibility of a ramp by October 15.
"It seemed more practical to use an
elevator at the time," Gray said. "But
the community wants a ramp so we
are looking into it."
City officials say they still believe
the courthouse will be constructed
once the city comes to a resolution
with the GSA.
