OregonÃs Top Public Servant Visits
During a visit and tour of the Knight Law Center on January 21, Gov. Ted Kulongoski
said he is absolutely convinced that a strong higher education system
is essential to a stable economy. Brainpower is key to OregonÃs success
in the global marketplace, he said in informal remarks to the law
faculty last Friday. The governor warned that much needs to be done to
convince voters that OregonÃs future depends as much on its colleges
and universities as its K-through-12 public schools. Kulongoski and his
wife, Mary Oberst Ã84, spoke to students on the value of public
service, took a quick tour of the Knight Law Center, and attended an
informal reception accompanied by university president Dave Frohnmayer,
Dean Laird Kirkpatrick and Wayne Morse Center director Margaret Hallock .
GARRETT EPPS: What did you do to defend freedom? In
a January 23 opinion column in the Eugene Register-Guard,
constitutional law professor Garrett Epps wrote, "I found myself
recently thinking about all the people who lived in Italy in the 1920s,
or Germany in the 1930s, or the Soviet Union when the Great Purges
began. . They were people just like us, and during those years they did
many marvelous things. . . And yet in the years afterwards, when
those people talk about their lives, we want to ask them only one
thing. . . When the rule of law was suspended, what did you do? When
the thugs came in the night to your neighbors' doors, what did you do?
When the press was silenced and corrupted, what did you do? "
