Departments combined into Cre ative Publishing include University Publications, which provided design and editorial services for more than 600 University projects annually; "Oregon Quarterly," a magazine for alumni and donors with a circulation of 85,000; and UO Press, whose projects included late Professor Emeritus William Loy's award-winning "Adas of Oregon" and two books currently in development. Longtime "Oregon Quarterly" Edi tor Guy Maynard has been named di rector of Creative Publishing. Jeanne Maasch, assistant director and art di rector for University Publications, has been tapped as art director and asso ciate director of the department. — Travis Willse PROFESSOR continued from page 1 Paris agreed. "We really want people to do good work," Paris said. "It's not just a bunch of jocks trying to top one another," Aoki said. "At the U of O, a thousand flowers can bloom." Because each professor has his or her own area of expertise and schol arship, the need for competition is minimal, he said. This supportive and cooperative at mosphere allows faculty members to share ideas and information with one another, helping them to produce criti cally acclaimed scholarship, Aoki said. Many University law professors have written casebooks, which typi cally draw a great deal of national at tention, Aoki said. Law school professor Leslie Harris has coauthored three casebooks about family law and children and the law, two of which "are probably the most widely used in their field," Paris said. Law school professor Steven Ben der recently published a book exam ining Latino stereotypes in popular culture, "Greasers and Gringos," with the New York University Press that has been receiving national attention for its focus on the Latino popula tion's possible position as the swing vote in the November presidential elections, Aoki said. Law school professor Caroline A. Forell's book "A Law of Her Own" has received national attention for its look at the male-dominated process of jury selection and instructions. Law school professor Robert Tsai, who is beginning just his third year of teaching, presented a paper at the fifth VZZZZZZ777 *7 T* y/////////77/ annual Stanford-Yale Junior Faculty Fo rum at Yale Law School this year. "He was selected out of all the [Constitu tional] Law professors in the country. The only other person who was there was [Assistant Professor] Heather Gerken from Harvard Law School, so he had very good company," Aoki said. Aoki himself has received national attention for his work in the areas of intellectual property and critical theo ry. A recent survey of U.S. law schools ranked him as number 17 in the top 100 most cited young law professors * from 1992-2002. The administration is very support ive of faculty scholarship, which Aoki said has allowed his colleagues and him to take on fresh ideas and creative ways of presenting them. "I do traditional scholarship, but the powers that be let me have these slides of fancy, like doing a law review article as a comic strip," Aoki said, referring to a comic strip he drew for the University of Miami Law Review last year. An accomplished cartoonist, Aoki recently collaborated with University law professor Garrett Epps on politi cal cartoons that appeared in The Na tion and the American Prospect. "Garrett Epps is one of the really out standing stars on our faculty," Aoki said. Epps, a former Washington Post staff writer, regularly writes opinion arti cles for the Post and many other news papers. His current work, a book exam ining the 14th Amendment's impact on the nation, is expected to receive worldwide attention, Aoki said. "This is going to be probably the most important book on the 14th Amendment that's going to come out in the next 10 years," Aoki said. Meghann M.
