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.

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.

COURTHOUSE continued from page 1 of the stairs. Advocates for disabled access have adamantly pressed for the inclusion of a disabled access ramp, which the GSA has not yet included ftttAAANANA dance group presents... lafsa Hueda Worfesfiop October 5, 2003 1-5 p.m. In-Shape Dance Studio (2681 Willamette St.) Cost is just $5 More info - www.rumbanana.org Come learn this fun style of Salsa! 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.
