Despite the short falls, Frohnmayer said the administra tion has no plans to institute another tuition surcharge for the rest of this school year. State Representative Phil Barnhart, D-Eugene, said he was also disap pointed by the election results. "We knew that it was an uphill bat tle," he said, adding that many of the measure's opponents said some "out rageous things." "Many voters were taken in by peo ple who had very simple and very wrong messages," he said. Barnhart said the state would face cuts in various departments, and in the long run the measure's failure is more likely to hurt the economy than help it. He said the next step is to continue building the economy and educating voters on what the real issues are. "We also need to get to work on tax reform issues," he said.

"People don't believe the government is spending money well." He said there is a need for struc tural changes within the govern ment, and that voters want neither cuts nor higher taxes; they want more efficient spending.
