Dr. Roy Hirofumi Saigo currently
serving as interim president at SOU
Dr. Roy Hirofumi Saigo has been
appointed interim president of
Southern Oregon University (SOU).
A respected leader in higher
education who is also president
emeritus of Saint Cloud State
University, Dr. Saigo’s duties started
July 1. He replaces Dr. Mary
Cullinan, who was recently named
president of Eastern Washington
University.
Well known in higher education
circles as a “turnaround” leader, Dr.
Saigo is being brought to SOU just as
the campus is implementing its
retrenchment plan to address budget
issues, and is beginning the process of
forming its own institutional
governing board.
“Dr. Saigo is the right leader to
guide Southern through a period of
both challenges and opportunities for
the campus,” said Dr. Melody Rose,
chancellor of the Oregon University
System. “He will be able to build
dialogue and understanding among
the campus community and the
region through his transparent
approach to information sharing and
collaboration.”
Prior to joining SOU, Dr. Saigo
worked as a consultant, speaker, and
writer on societal and leadership
players. Belgium lost Ste-
ven Defour to a red card
early in the first half, and
then proved anything but
complacent. After Belgian
goalkeeper
Thibaut
Courtois turned back a
flurry of Taeguk shots, Jan
Vertonghen turned a weak
defensive clearance into a
pass to Divock Origi, and
Vertonghen scored on the
rebound from Origi’s sharp
shot.
Similar to South Korea,
Japan could not take ad-
vantage of a team assured
of advancement in its final
match of group play,
ultimately
surrendering
four goals to a dominant
Colombian squad. Colom-
bia cashed in on a penalty
kick in the 17th minute,
and Okazaki answered late
in the half with a header
into the Colombian net,
scoring Japan’s first ever
World Cup goal in stoppage
time.
Japan’s glimmer of hope
was extinguished when
substitute
Jackson
Rodriguez drove in the
go-ahead goal 10 minutes
into the second half. Still
resilient, the Blue Samurai
threatened several times,
but their shots found the
post or flew wide, while
Jackson Rodriguez scored a
second goal, and James
Rodriguez delivered Co-
lombia’s fourth tally in the
game’s waning minutes.
The Blue Samurai’s
disappointing outcome led
to Zaccheroni’s resigna-
tion, while South Korea’s

issues. From 2000 to 2007, he was
president of St. Cloud State
University in Minnesota, which had
grown under his leadership to a
campus of 16,000 students with 175
majors and minors. During his
tenure, he brought the university to
fiscal stability, built academic
programs,
increased
student
enrollment, engaged the campus
community in internal university
affairs, and initiated renovation and
expansion
of
academic
and
residential facilities for students,
among other accomplishments. His
impact at the university was
recognized when he was named
president emeritus in 2007.
Dr. Saigo is known for “being
entrepreneurial and for building on
the
academic
strengths
of
institutions,” Rose said, adding that
he “can unite the campus, address
enrollment and affordability issues,
build on the great retention work
already underway, and reach out to
SOU’s many communities.”
Excited about the opportunity to
join the faculty, students, and staff at
SOU, Dr. Saigo said he hopes
everyone on campus becomes
transformational agents to expand
access and success for students.

Sixth-grader Lucy
Li’s Open: a 78,
then ice cream
Continued from page 8
Women’s Open, and Bauer
— whose married name
was Hagge — became one
of the founders of the LPGA
Tour.
It was a long day for Lucy
Li, and part of her was glad
it was over. She also was
looking forward to another
chance on Friday.
And what would she do
in the meantime?
“Eat some more ice
cream,” she said.
Editor’s note: Li shot a 78 in
the second round. She missed the
cut, but said she “had a lot of fun.
I learned a lot and, yeah, I guess it
has exceeded my expectations.”
Li also credited her playing
partners, Jessica Wallace and
Catherine O’Donnell, with
making her experience
all that more special.

Public Schools will ensure that all students with
disabilities who are eligible for kindergarten through 21
years of age, residing within their attendance area, have
available to them a free and appropriate public
education in the least restrictive environment. The
rights of children with disabilities and their parents will
be protected in accordance with state and federal laws.
School districts must locate and identify individuals
who have disabilities from birth to age 21. If you, or
someone you know, has a child with a disability who may
be in need of special education and related services, you
can initiate a referral through your local schools. The
