UO E-clips, May 1

Top stories for May 1, 2008: UO president understands Oregonians' values, needs, writes Dick Hughes in a column in today's Statesman Journal; The Oregonian says Frohnmayer brought growth to UO athletics; and the UO is seeking permission from the state to build underground parking next to the proposed arena, reports the Register-Guard

UO president understands Oregonians' values, needs (Statesman Journal, column by Dick Hughes): Dave Frohnmayer is an Oregonian. From my perspective, that's why he has been an effective leader of the University of Oregon. He's in tune with deep-rooted Oregon values. Sadly, Frohnmayer is a rare breed among university presidents. The UO says he is the first native Oregonian to serve as president of any large research university in the state.

UO seeks permission for underground parking (Register-Guard): The University of Oregon is seeking state permission to build an $18 million underground parking garage next to its proposed basketball arena on Franklin Boulevard in Eugene. The project is one of four that will come before the state Board of Higher Education at its meeting in Portland today and Friday. The UO also is asking for permission to spend $20 million on a new baseball stadium, an extra $4.7 million on its new education building and an extra $2.1 million on an addition to the music school.

Frohnmayer's athletics legacy: growth (The Oregonian): Ernie Kent's first reaction was selfish. When the Oregon basketball coach answered his phone Sunday morning and heard Dave Frohnmayer break the news that he would be stepping down as university president after the 2008-09 school year, Kent couldn't help but think about how that would affect his program. "But then I stopped myself and told him, 'After everything you've done for us and the University of Oregon, you deserve to retire,' " Kent said.
