Delivery charges may apply Professor Emeritus A. Kingsley Weath erhead, who taught Robert Lee while he pursued his doctorate in English from 1961-66. "Students will say or write silly things sometimes, and it's easy to mock or crit icize, but that's discouraging to stu dents," Robert Lee said, who taught lit erature, art history and other humanities courses at California State University at San Bernardino for 24 years. "Professor Weatherhead was gen tle with students, and I tried to take the same approach in my own teaching." Weatherhead and Robert Lee both agreed the endowed professorship should go to the teaching of William Shakespeare's literature. The first Gloria Toval Lee Scholarship in art history will be awarded next school year. The endowed professorship is only the second for the Department of English. 'The endowed professorship will sig nificantly enhance the ability of our Eng lish department to attract and retain the very best professors," said Joe Stone, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. About 700 students, both majors and non-majors, take courses in Shake speare's literature each year. "With the UO's fund-raising efforts concentrating on the impact of dona tions to support teaching and expand opportunities for students, the Lees' gift addresses critical needs to art history students," School of Architecture and Allied Arts Dean Robert Melnick said. "We are most appreciative of their lead ership and generosity." — Jared Paben AWARD continued from page 1 distinguished psychologist of the 20th century and the first among liv ing psychologists. Slavich will receive an all-expense paid trip to the APS convention, where he will accept his award, which includes a three-year mem bership to the society and two en graved plaques, one for Slavich and one for the Department of Psycholo gy, according to a press release from Psi Chi. In 2003, Slavich was voted Graduate Teaching Fellow of the Year by more than 16,000 University undergradu ates, according to the release. But he said the most meaningful award was the one in honor of Ban dura, who is his "intellectual role model." Slavich also said he was completely surprised when he heard he was the winner of the award. "I think the real shock is to be honored and to have my name in the same sentence as (Bandura's name)," Slavich said. Contact the people/ culture/faith reporter at jaredpaben@dailyemerald.com. SAME-SEX continued from page 1 "The injury has not changed by is suing more licenses," Koch said. Multnomah County officials be gan issuing marriage licenses to gay couples on March 3. An opinion from County Attorney Agnes Sowle concluded that refusing marriage li censes to same-sex couples violates Article I, Section 20 of the Oregon Constitution, which states: "No law shall be passed granting to any citi zen or class of citizens privileges or immunities, which, upon the same terms, shall not equally belong to all citizens." The county has issued more than 1,200 marriage licenses since March 3. However, Defense of Marriage Coalition lawyer Kelly Clark said mar riage statutes clearly state that mar riage is between a "husband and a wife," according to the news report. At press time, the coalition had not returned phone calls. Oregon law defines marriage as "a civil contract entered into in person by males at least 17 years of age and females at least 17 years of age, who are otherwise capable, and solem nized in accordance with ORS 106.150." However, ORS 106.150 states, "In the solemnization of a marriage no particular form is re quired except that... they take each other to be husband and wife." University Law Professor Do minick Vetri, who is a specialist in gay and lesbian civil rights, said the decision was "wonderful news." "It means that the judge believes that there was no harm to the com munity," Vetri said. He added that the judge probably didn't think the plaintiffs had a substantial chance of moving their case forward. Vetri said Koch's decision may be a preliminary view into the final outcome of the case. As the case moves on to the next stages, he said the most critical points will be the legalities surrounding whether or not gay couples can get married in the state. "It's all about the legal questions," he said.
