AAU continued from page 1 Tl;e University had never hosted the conference since it became a member of the organization in 1969. The University is not scheduled to host another conference for at least another 62 years. "We've been privileged to host the AAU for the last two-and-a-half days," University President Dave Frohnmay er said at a press conference Tuesday. Frohnmayer added that it is an honor for the University to be part of the as sociation because members are ad mitted based on "excellence and re search and production of knowledge in the academic endeavor." Areas of discussion at the meeting included the role North American re search universities should play in ad dressing global issues such as terror ism, economic equality and health crises. AAU representatives also talked about the need to increase the role of the humanities at research universi ties. The meeting also drew CIA Direc tor George Tenet to the University. AAU Vice Chairman Mark S. Wrighton said Tenet stressed the need for universities to create programs that develop students' understanding of culture, economics and religions so universities can play their part in pro viding talented individuals to organi zations such as the CIA. Other areas of discussion included the status of affirmative action since the latest U.S. Supreme Court deci sions regarding the University of Michigan's admissions cases, as well as interdisciplinary research and edu cation. John T. Casteen, AAU chairman and president of the University of Vir ginia, said discussions focused on ways to emphasize and support the humanities. "This is an unusual issue for the AAU because most of our common dealings have to do with the sciences," Casteen said. Frohnmayer said representatives from about three-quarters of the member institutions attended the meeting to discuss several issues con cerning policy and educational re search. Frohnmayer added that the University's role as a research institu tion is important. "It's really quite critical and it means a great deal in (the Pacific Northwest) that we have some part of this nature of responsibility," he said. Wrighton, also the chancellor of Washington University in St. Louis, said he was glad to attend the meeting at the University and made a point to mingle with students during his stay here. "We had just a great time," he said. "I found some very delightful stu dents interested in their institution and learning and making a contribu tion to their community.'' AAU President Nils Hasselmo said he was impressed with the campus and noted that the University should be proud to be a part of the organiza tion. "That is a mark, a badge of honor, because membership is by invitation only," he said, adding that Frohnmay er and his staff were very hospitable. "They have set truly outstanding stan dards for hospitality, both in terms of intellectual content of the experience and in tenns of the warmth and beau ty of this campus."
