On the Willam Willamette ette side, the presence of so many state, county, and city offices has meant a wealth of internships and other on-the-job studies for students in all three colleges; a ready supply of highly credentialed guest lecturers for classes in politics, economics, management and law; and a series of opportunities for faculty to participate, through re research search and other consulting, in creat creating ing public policy on some of the most important issues of the day. On the other side of the partnership, government officials and agencies welcome the high-quality, low-cost (usually free, in fact) assistance from the collegians and, in the longer run, the steady infusion of well-trained newcomers into government leader leadership. ship. Some of those leaders no doubt would have found their way from Willamette to public service had the campus been located in Cave Junction, but for many others the simple fact of proximity to the capitol was pivotal. As a student, Oregon State Treas Treasurer urer Tony Meeker '61 often crossed the street to sit in the gallery at the legisla legislature ture and study the leading political figures of the day in debate. A political science major, Meeker also interned By Andrea J. Dailey From many a point of view, the state capitol dome and the world of politics and public service it represents is as much a part of the Willamette landscape as Waller Hall's cupola and the academic life it represents. one semester at the State Highway Division in Salem, tracking bills, at attending tending hearings, and doing research. "That internship exposure, along with the way Willamette in general tickles the political imagination, fos fostered tered my interest in politics," Meeker says. "The internship brought some reality to my wide-eyed, enthusiastic idealist's view." One of the obvious ways Willam Willamette ette piques political ambitions is the influence of its having many alumni prominent in the field of public serv service. ice. Meeker, for instance, recalls his days at the Beta Theta Pi fraternity house, where fellow Betas Bob Pack Pack-wood wood '54, then a representative in the state legislature, and Mark Hatfield '43, who was Oregon secretary of state and then governor during that time, would stop by regularly to chat with students. "It must have occurred to me then that, hey, these guys did it; maybe I could, too," Meeker says. Later, Meeker won election to nine terms in the state legislature before his appoint appointment ment and subsequent election as state treasurer. "Hatfield was an inspiration to me, and I'm sure to many others," says Karl Frederick '56, vice president and director of legislation for Associated Oregon Industries, the trade and lob lobbying bying group. Hatfield, who was one of Frederick's political science profes professors, sors, "articulated an idealism that was the idealism I felt," Frederick says. Hatfield also nudged Frederick's classmate and AOI colleague Doug Heider '56 into Heider's first step into office. "I was thinking about running for the legislature in 1958," Heider says, "and I went over to talk about it with Mark, who was then Secretary of State, on the last day before the filing deadline. 'Why aren't you filing?' he asked me. Well, he got me all set up with the papers and even escorted me to the filing line." Heider won the election, at age 28 reportedly the youngest Republican legislator in the country. Since location leads to access and access to connections one of the most precious of political commodities simply being within elbow-rubbing distance of government leaders is an enormously important advantage to aspiring leaders. "At the time I went to school, I had no idea of the benefits that relation relationships ships formed in Salem would have for me," says Jim Fitzhenry LGSM '81, now legislative director and legal Willamette Scene Spring 1989 3Since location leads to access and access to connections one of the most precious of political commodities simply being within elboiu-rubbing distance of government leaders is an enormously important advantage to aspiring leaders. counsel in Sen. Hatfield's Washington office. "Salem is a community small enough you don't have to 'be some someone' one' to meet people like Clay Myers," former Oregon treasurer whom Fitzhenry did meet and under whom he served in 1984 as chief deputy state treasurer. Donna King Tyner '79 agrees. "In California (where she grew up), you need money for an entree to politics. In Oregon you just bump into people." Tyner, who now serves on the state's Commission for Women and is an officer in the Oregon Women's Political Caucus, found her way into the network primarily through Wil Willamette lamette friends who introduced her to their friends in government. "Willamette has always had the reputation of being a school with ac access cess to and involvement in govern government," ment," says Bob Hawkinson, the po political litical science professor who directs Willamette's legislative and political internship programs in the College of Liberal Arts. "That brings some stu students dents here in the first place and turns other ones on to politics once they're here." These WU students were among participants in the Governor's Internship Program last summer and fall. They are (I. to r.) Amy Robinson, Michel Van Duym, Greg Pershall, Janine Pringle and Elizabeth Newcomb, with Oregon Governor Neil Goldschmidt. The program 's original coordinator was Danny Santos L'86, then a Governor's Citizen Representative and now head of the Governor's Commission on Agricultural Labor. Marc Overbeck '88, currently legis legislative lative assistant to State Rep. Nancy Peterson, is one of those attracted by the capitol connection. His political interests having quickened in high school, he homed in on Willamette because "I understood Willamette's being across from the capitol provided a lot of opportunities, that it was a center for politics in the academic world and in the real world." Overbeck immersed himself in politics on both sides of the street during his student years. On campus, he served four terms in the student senate and on the Board of Trustees advisory committee on ethical invest investments. ments. Off campus, he interned with a Scottish MP in the House of Commons one semester in London, one of 26 students in the United States selected to participate in that program, and he interned to Rep. Peterson's office dur during ing the 1987 session where, coinciden coinciden-tally, tally, he worked under Ingrid Brydolf '85, then Peterson's legislative assis assistant. tant. Of the legislative internship, Over Overbeck beck says, "It was a very positive expe experience. rience. I learned more about the legis lative and political processes than I possibly could have in class from books. I got a real feel for what was involved." Like many interns, he worked more than the prescribed 20 hours a week on such assignments as tracking bills, working with constituents, and marshalling testimony for committee hearings. Overbeck became so deeply involved in the work that he stayed on Peterson's staff to the end of the ses session, sion, more than a month after school let out. "We had a big bill that hadn't gone through by May, so I wanted to stay and see how it turned out." (It failed.) The quality of an intern's expe experiences riences is ensured to some degree by Prof. Hawkinson's screening of prospective placements. After the elections, he sends queries to all legislators, asking whether 'they would like a Willamette intern in the next session and, if so, what the intern would be expected to do. The re responses, sponses, along with feedback from any interns the legislator had previ previously, ously, guide Hawkinson's selection. 4As happened this year, there aren't always enough interns to go around. "In 1983, the first year I directed the program, we had 43 interns in the leg legislature. islature. It was absolutely wild." Since then, to simplify logistics and tighten academic quality control, Hawkinson has had to limit legislative interns to about 30; this session there are 25. During first semester, another eight students interned in non-legislative offices including the Salem Human Rights Commission, the governor's office, and Associated Oregon Indus Industries. tries. Prospective interns also are screened, whether they're interested in working in the legislature or in some other government office or agency. Admission to the program is competi competitive tive students must apply to Hawkin Hawkinson son to get in, and placement depends on the results of the students' inter interviews views with prospective employers. Students work long hours in their posts, and they put in many more hours on academic work related to the 1 - y. Representative Stan Bunn '69 and intern Elliot Sattler '89 internship. "There's a strong aca academic demic component to this program," Hawkinson says. "It's not just credit for work experience only." For their two credits (one credit if the intern works 12 hours a week), interns must keep a journal of their job activities, noting 'why' as well as 'what' as they analyze their experi experiences ences and observations. Interns meet in seminar biweekly, and individuals meet regularly with Hawkinson to discuss their work. Assigned readings in political science, economics, and sociology and a full-length paper round out the academic requirements. "Academically, the challenge is to pull together a seminar for all these diverse jobs," Hawkinson says. "What they have in common is organizational politics, the way organizations func function tion internally and relate to other or organizations." ganizations." At the end of the internship, each student's on-the-job supervisor evalu evaluates ates his or her performance on criteria including responsibility, communica communication tion skills, and judgment. The evalu evaluation ation figures significantly in the student's grade. When it comes to placing the students, "I try to match match-make," make," Hawkinson says, pointing students toward legislators with whom they share political phi philosophies losophies and agendas and toward agencies where they can work on is issues sues they consider important. For example, one recent intern had a Liber Libertarian tarian outlook and an ambition to go to law school; Hawkinson found him a spot with the American Civil Liberties Union. Another, very devout student went to work with lobbyists in the Oregon Association of Evangelicals. Wendy Mills, a senior from Foun Fountain tain Valley, California, says her intern internship ship last semester with the Salem Human Rights Commission was "a perfect match" given her strong inter interests ests in social justice and global peace. Mills' work on Human Rights Week If I put my mind to it I can do things that are really important. 99 programming, racial harassment hearings with the police department, and services for the homeless helped her "understand how government can operate to support human rights. It also opened my eyes to see that if I put my mind to it, I can do things that are really important." For more than a few students, in internship ternship is the factor in their decision to go into public service. Karyn Phil Phillips lips '88, a top debater for Willamette as an undergraduate, was leaning to toward ward a career in communications be before fore she interned with State Rep. Stan Bunn '69 L 72 during the 1987 session. "That changed my mind," Phillips says, and this session she's back as Bunn's legislative assistant. Her next step is law school and then, probably, a career working with communities and local agencies in their dealings with the legislature. Bunn himself enjoyed two intern internships ships as a collegian, working in Wash Washington ington for former U.S. Rep. Wendell Wyatt for a summer and then for Sen. Hatfield for a year. "Those experi experiences, ences, the opportunities to see first firsthand hand how things worked, sold me on internships," Bunn says, and he has used interns in his office for all but one of his five terms. The firsthand view of political life also can turn people away from their early ambitions. While Bill Alberger '67 was in law school at Georgetown University, he had ideas of running for office himself one day, but "I very quickly got that out of my system. You live in a glass house; you're subject to every special Willamette Scene Spring 1989 56 interest group in the world ." A former member of Sen. Packwood's staff and the legislative assistant to former U.S. Rep. Al Ullman, Alberger now prac practices tices law in Washington for clients including major Oregon companies and the Port of Portland. Though he's out of government now, he's in Wash Washington ington for good, he says. "This is where things happen. Here, I can be of benefit to Oregon, to Portland, in ways I couldn't if I were in Oregon." Elective office also beckoned to Hance Haney '85 when he was at Wil Willamette, lamette, though "I would never admit it then, but that's what I wanted." A summer internship in Sen. Packwood's Washington office and, since graduation, nearly four years as a field representative in the senator's Portland office have quieted the ambi ambition tion to be a candidate. "It's not nearly as glamorous as I once thought. The demands on an elected representative's time, the pressures, are enormous. It still amazes me how people will take things personally when the senator takes a position that is opposed to theirs." Three sessions in the state legisla legislature ture as legislative assistant to Rep. Bill Markham did not disillusion Kerry Tymchuk '81 L'84 about politicians per se. "There are incompetent paint painters ers as well as incompetent politicians," he says. "But it is somewhat disheart disheartening ening to see partisanship get in the way when you're trying to focus on the issues." After more than three years with U.S. Rep. Denny Smith '62 in Washington, most recently as Smith's press secretary and legal counsel, Tymchuk is preparing to leave that office soon, eventually for private law practice in Oregon. "It's important to work in the pri private vate sector a while," Tymchuk says, "and see how all this stuff we do here in Washington works out when it gets down to the real world where people have to live with it." E3 National survey indicates political inclination high EBffimTHIS POLITICAL SCIENCE 17Willamette 3.2 National 17Willamette 5.4 National LAW 3.3Willamette 1.1 National FOREIGN SERVICE Willamette undergraduates would seem to be more politically inclined from the outset than their counterparts nationally, ac according cording to a comprehensive survey of student attitudes and aspirations throughout the country. HMMI Nearly 17 percent of this year's Willamette freshmen intend to major in political science, compared to just 3.2 percent nationally. And 17 percent at Willamette also expect to have careers in the legal profession; another 3.3 percent intend to go into the foreign service. Nationally, the career goals are 5.4 percent for law and 1.1 percent for foreign service. This year's survey results for Willamette are consistent with those of recent years, says Jim Sumner, dean of admissions for the university. He points out that Willamette's selective admissions process, which favors applicants with leader leadership ship experience and potential, has more than a little to do with the "political profile" of the students as seen in the survey. The survey is conducted as part of the Cooperative Institutional Research Program by the American Council on Education and the University of California, Los Angeles. Asked which objectives were essential or very important to them, almost 26 percent of Willamette freshmen replied "to influence the political structure"; nationally, less than 17 percent had that priority. Fifty-three percent at Willam Willamette ette believe it's essential or very important "to keep up to date with politics," but just a third of all U.S. freshmen feel that way.Opinions differ on best education to lead to public service careers 10 Atkinson alumni benefit from PMI program selection By Andrea .

California Assem Assemblyman blyman Sam Farr '63 majored in biology and psychology with the in intention tention of becoming a veterinarian. Yet when he did change course and head into public service, he found ample opportunity to use his academic background as a member of the Cali California fornia Coastal Commission, the Mon Monterey terey County Board of Supervisors, and since 1980 in the state assembly. During his career, environmental pro protection tection has been one of his major inter interests, ests, and he has received a number of awards for his work in that area. A math degree, amplified by an MBA and a law degree, has been "in "incredibly credibly useful" to Bill Alberger '67 in his career, nowhere more so than dur during ing his five years as President Carter's appointee to the International Trade Commission in Washington. "When A liberal arts education prepares you to learn the rest of your life 99 we were analyzing the impact of im imports ports on domestic industry, as just one example, my background enabled me to get right in there and argue the numbers with people," he recalls. State Rep. Stan Bunn '69 L '72, an economics major as an undergraduate, advises aspiring politicians to "take the course you most enjoy, because if you like it and do well in it, it'll be an asset to you." Bunn reflects, though, that when he first entered politics, "I did feel the lack of a good grounding in po political litical science theory, so I think that can be handy." A history major led Heather Lundgren Flynn '65 into teaching, and teaching led to a very active involve involvement ment in community-action politics and to six years on the Anchorage, Alaska school board. Today she is in her sixth year on the Anchorage Assembly, an elective body that incorporates the functions of a city council and a county commission. "A liberal arts education prepares you to learn the rest of your life, and that's what I've essentially done," she says. Not surprisingly, Prof. Bob Hawk Hawk-inson inson holds the same view as Flynn about liberal arts education. Says Hawkinson, who directs the political science intern program, "The breadth of perspective on human affairs that you get from a liberal arts education is excellent preparation for a career in public service. It often does, and cer certainly tainly should, attune you to the needs of the public." By Andrea J. Dailey The Atkinson School's unusual blend of business- and public-sector management courses has helped power 10 Atkinson alumni since 1979 into the prestigious Presidential Man Management agement Intern Program. The pro program gram annually selects 200 recent graduates for two-year internships in middle management with federal agencies and departments in Wash Washington. ington. "The PMI is a ticket to working with top leadership, like secretaries of de departments, partments, and bright people and ideas. There's nothing like it for accel accelerating erating the learning process," says Grace Crunican GSM'79, one of the first chosen from the Atkinson School. She applied for the plum internship because of her interest in politics "It's unlimited challenge; there's no 'end of the road' there" and her at attraction traction to working in Washington "where all the politics happen." She interned with the Department of Transportation and spent another two years doing budget analysis for the Senate Appropriations Committee before returning to Oregon where she now does financial planning for Portland's Transportation Depart Department. ment. At Atkinson, Crunican believes she got the best possible training for her highly competitive internship. "The private-sector orientation courses I took gave me the net-present-value perspective what's a dollar worth? that's critical to managing in the public sector." The school's most recent PMI, Charla Worley GSM'88, is having the same experience.

Wesley Sullivan Less than three years after graduating from Willamette's Graduate School of Manage Management, ment, Tom Neilsen is mayor of Salem. And his classmate, Sharon Gray, is on the Sa Salem lem City Council. Both credit the GSM for broadening their horizons en route to their first bids for political office. Sharon had her eye on a political future when she entered m the school. Tom didn't. In fact, Mayor Tom says he still thinks, "Who? Me? " when someone refers to him as a politician. This is accompanied by a disarmingly boyish grin. City staff soon learned, however, that his friendly manner is accompanied by a compelling desire for information and an efficient use of his time. For Neilsen, GSM initially offered a means of expanding his business acumen rather than a political career. He entered GSM in 1982 shortly after the family business, Neilsen Metal Indus Industries, tries, Inc., with which he had been associated for 1 6 years, was sold. The Salem company makes metal boxes for the products of high-tech electronic companies. Suffering from "burnout," he and his wife Chris were ready to move to a larger city and new and bigger challenges. But with children still in public school, they decided to wait, and he would enter GSM. But within six months of starting his two-year course, the sale of the com company pany collapsed, and Neilsen found himself not only running the company but going to school as well. His work at GSM had shown him new options and a new management style in operating the company. He believed that if he dropped out of school and immersed himself fully in his work again, he never would resume his studies. So he hired one of his classmates at GSM, Charlie Hopewell, as general manager of the plant, and continued at the school on a part-time basis. He later added two other GSM students to his staff.By his graduation in 1986, he'd decided he had a successful formula. Not only was the plant continuing to set new sales records, he enjoyed being part of a broader world. "Charlie was growing into the job. I didn't want to hinder that," he said. So Neilsen found himself wondering what to do with the 15 hours a week he had been spending at the GSM. The presidency of the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce beckoned. As that year's work drew to a close, he felt a concern that no one was stepping forward to seek the job of Salem mayor which Sue Miller was vacating after three terms. Against two competitors, Neilsen won the mayoralty in the Primary Election, just two years after his GSM graduation. He and Chris married when he was 19 and she 18; they were at the Univer University sity of Washington. He never com completed pleted his college degree. He credits the staff of GSM for suspending the rules and accepting him as a student, one of only two such cases on record. "I went in with a sense that here are people willing to be flexible and to take risks," he says. He found most of his fellow stu students dents to be like himself, people who had returned to academic study after a time in the business or professional world. "They question what they are told, don't just take it on face value," he says. He praises Willamette for its stu student dent intern programs with govern government ment and business, offering "hands "hands-on" on" training. Mayor Neilsen's fellow City Coun Council cil member, Sharon Gray, turned to the GSM after having accepted member membership ship on the Salem City Planning Commission. She describes herself as filling the "inner-city housewife position." She felt frustrated and inadequate in fac facing ing city planning decisions without a background in business and public affairs. She initially had thought of enter entering ing law school as a means of preparing for a career after her two children were Government offers a nearby laboratory, not only for Willamette students but for WU faculty as well. in school. But first, as president of her neighborhood advisory group and then on the planning commission, the questions raised led her towards the Graduate School of Management for answers. Once in school, she was "excited to find that the case studies directly re related lated to my volunteer work with the city." She says, "I began to find how the decisions made in the business world were affecting my own and other people's lives." She feels her GSM experience fits directly with her position as represen representative tative of her North Salem ward on the City Council. "Because of my election to the City Council," she says, "I got to move directly from the GSM to a seat on the Board of Directors." In her undergraduate years, during the Vietnam War era, she'd concen concentrated trated on political science, instead of the business course her father recom recommended. mended. "I didn't start at GSM thinking fi finance nance and investment would be inter interesting," esting," she adds. "Ordinarily, I would have avoided such subjects like the plague." But she found herself caught up in compulsory subjects in those areas during her first year at GSM, and she became intrigued "with the charts and graphs shown by Prof. Marc Choate." Now she is considering a professional career in that field. "My father says, T told you so'," she adds. Her husband, Larry, administrator of the state Department of Energy, watching his wife's enthusiasm, asks, "When is it my turn?" She credits Prof. Stephen Archer of GSM with encouraging her political interests by heading her towards a j position as legislative aide during the 1985 session while she was attending the school. Associate Professor Michael Hand remembers both Neilsen and Gray as among those enjoyable students who have their eyes on something beyond j making an "A" in the course. "They always remember why they're doing this. They not only focus on the task at hand but how it will fit in with what they are trying to accom accomplish," plish," he says. Mayor Neilsen and his council col- i league Gray agree that Willamette's proximity to city and state govern government ment is a key to the University's ability to provide expert teaching and real real-life life experience to students. It also provides a reservoir of talent. The University draws freely on people in government as lecturers and for spe- cial instruction. Government offers a nearby labora laboratory, tory, not only for Willamette students but for WU faculty as well. Neilsen and Gray, as they begin i their political careers, take with them friendly feelings about their experi experience ence at Willamette. Gray sees as one of her objectives as a City Council mem member ber the strengthening of ties between the University and the city. It is through turning out such j graduates as Neilsen and Gray that Willamette University insures a sus sustained tained and strengthened mutually beneficial relationship with its govern- i mental neighbors.

He plans to complete his degree requirements at Willamette in the fall. Here are his observations on the Washington Semester experience. Through the dense fog, the Capitol shines like a beacon on the surround surrounding ing city. A television news reporter carefully positions herself on the side sidewalk walk in front of the portable camera and floodlights, the gleaming rotunda framing her shivering figure. In the distance to the west, only the faint outline of the Washington Monument is visible, as the capital's other familiar landmarks lie wrapped in a winter blanket.

The Washington Semester was de designed signed to offer students throughout the country the opportunity to pursue their study of United States domestic and foreign policy in an environment affording practical application of their learning. Students in the program choose one subject area on which to By Kraig Powell '89 focus their studies, such as national government, justice policy, or journal journalism. ism. In addition to their academic courses, program participants work two days a week as interns in various offices throughout the city. Upon arri arrival, val, students are provided with lists of potential internships and coached in contacting and interviewing skills, but each is ultimately responsible for se securing curing his or her own intern position. Internships for program partici participants pants range from Capitol Hill work in the office of one's own member of Congress to service in a small public public-interest interest research and lobbying group. The internship not only helps students place the world of the textbook in a practical context, but also provides valuable job experience for the future. As the political hub of the United States, Washington D.C. is truly in a class by itself. Here, "current events" is not a single category among other interests, but instead a way of life. Decisions made in the city affect not only America's fifty states, but the entire world as well. Spring semester 1989 has been a particularly advantageous time to be in Washington. The transition to the new presidential administration, the beginning of Oliver North's trial, and important Supreme Court activity are just a few of the fascinating develop ments of recent months.

Wesley Sullivan Willamette University and Oregon govern government ment are inexorably linked from their begin begin-nings nings beginnings so intertwined it is hard to decide who was here first: Jason Lee and his founding mis missionaries sionaries began petitioning Congress for government in 1838, while the mission station was at its first location in Mission Bottom. The request was intensified after relocation of the mis mission sion to Salem in 1841. Congress ig ignored nored the petitions. The first "Wolf Meeting," seeking to organize governmental protection for the settlers against predators, was held at Salem at the Methodist Mission Feb. 2, 1843. This led to the historic gathering at Champoeg on May 2, and the "di "divide," vide," which gave the Americans a narrow edge in the formation of a committee to create a civil and military government. The committee met that spring at Jason Lee's mission building in Ore Oregon gon City. Thus, the first legislative hall in the west was provided, free of charge, by Willamette University's founding father. The 20- by 40-foot building was composed of a school meeting room at one end and a grain storage warehouse at the other. It was appropriate that the first, and only, provisional governor of the yet-to-be Oregon Territory was George Abernethy, a founding member of Willamette's Board of Trustees. A few months before the fateful Champoeg meeting, on Oct. 26, 1842, the Methodist missionaries had aban abandoned doned the teaching of Indians and agreed to begin teaching settlers' chil children, dren, a decision that marks the begin beginning ning of what was to become Willam Willamette ette University. hi 'YH L h' v -"X"' I : f I fnti i OP -n 1 .

This wasn't accomplished without a prolonged struggle. The 1850-51 session of the Territorial Legislature to convene in Salem met in the halls of The Oregon Institute, as Willamette University was then called. Even at that first Salem session, Willamette's founders petitioned the legislators to grant a formal state char charter ter to their institution. This wasn't achieved until the 1853 session, at which time Willamette University's name formally came into existence. Even as Willamette's founders campaigned to keep Salem as the terri territorial torial capital and, later, the state capi capital, tal, they maneuvered to have the Capi Capitol tol Building located next to the fledg fledgling ling university's campus. Robert M. Gatke, in his "Chronicles of Willamette," asserts that the Wil Willamette lamette University trustees always intended that the property north of the campus be reserved for the Capitol. The land was donated for that pur purpose pose by William H. Willson, a former agent for the University who had ac acquired quired legal title to the property. Construction of the first Capitol Build Building ing began in 1854. No sooner was the two-story, wooden building occupied, however, than the Legislature voted to move the Willamette Scene Spring 1989 11.-3 If H 3 VJ r L J. i IrlS capital to Corvallis. When territorial officials refused to move from their new building, a confrontation ensued which was resolved when the building burned (arson never was proved) and the Legislature, prompted by Con Congressional gressional resolve to keep federal of offices fices in Salem, voted to restore the capital to Salem. The issue was far from settled, however. When the issue was put to the territory's electorate in 1856, Salem ran a poor third, behind Eugene and Corvallis. But no city had a majority. Eugene won a runoff vote, but the Legislature, with the blessing of fed federal eral authorities, ignored the outcome. A third vote, in 1862, again produced no clear-cut decision. In 1864, Salem finally was affirmed as the capital city by the state's voters. When the grand old Statehouse was constructed in 1872-74, it was on the site of the origi original nal capitol, next to Willamette Univer University. sity. Willamette's permanent juxtaposi juxtaposition tion to state government was by no means assured, however. Even 50 years after its inception, the University was dominated by debts and the shortage of resources. Prof. Gatke writes of that period, "The li library brary was the pathetic victim of mal malnutrition. nutrition. With no regular appropria appropriation tion made for the purchase of books, it depended upon gifts, receiving mostly old books of no value for reference. ..Fortunately, the students These columns, part of the Oregon State Capitol that burned in 1936 and later used on the east end of the old Willam Willamette ette University Library, were returned in August to the state. According to Oregon Secretary of State Barbara Roberts, talking here with WU Presi President dent Jerry E. Hudson, it is hoped that they will be used in new Capitol Mall construction, for historic continuity. had access to books at both the Salem public library, and more importantly at the Oregon State Library." The Oregon Supreme Court library was an important adjunct to the Law School, as the university made good use of its governmental neighbors. By the 1890s, a powerful bloc of its Methodist sponsors believed the Uni University versity would be more prosperous if located in Portland to serve the grow growing ing population in the state's burgeon burgeoning ing metropolitan area. A counter movement developed, designed to move the Willamette campus to a 230-acre tract north of Salem. Both these efforts to dislodge the University ended when it was dis discovered covered that a reversionary clause in the donation of the land on which Willamette now sits would take effect if the University were to be moved more than a mile from its Salem site. The controversy, however, split the Methodist financial support for Wil Willamette, lamette, with the Portland bloc launch launching ing Portland University in a new sub subdivision division on a bluff overlooking the Willamette River at the north edge of the city. The next attempt to separate the University from its site next to the State Capitol occurred after the Statehouse burned on April 25, 1935. One of the four rebuilding plans wold have moved Willamette Univer University sity to the site of Bush's Pasture Park, then the home of the Bush family, al lowing the state Capitol and adjacent office buildings to expand into the Willamette University site. This plan had the support of Char Charles les A. Sprague, editor of The Oregon Statesman in Salem and soon to be elected governor. Sprague would go on to become a lifetime member of the Willamette Board of Trustees. The cost of moving the campus and the expected vigorous opposition of the University's trustees sidelined that final proposal to separate the campus from the Capitol. The long, close relationship be between tween Willamette and government has led to much interbreeding. For example, one of the three stu students dents in Willamette University's Col College lege of Law in 1877 was Willis C. Hawley, later to become Willamette University's president, and later still, to serve 30 years in Congress. His name is most widely remembered for his role in the Smoot-Hawley protec protectionist tionist tariff act that preceded the Great Depression. The association of Oregon's U.S. senators Mark Hatfield and Robert Packwood with Willamette is well recognized. They follow in the tradi tradition tion of U.S. Senator Charles McNary, one of the most powerful Republican figures of the 1930s and vice presiden presidential tial nominee of his party in 1940. McNary was dean of the Willamette Law School from 1908 to 1913. State Senate Historian Cecil Ed Edwards, wards, in his 50-year history of state Speakers of the House, notes that be between tween 1933 and 1957, five Speakers were graduates of Willamette. They include the late William McAllister who went on to become chief of the Oregon Supreme Court, and Robert F. Smith, currently serving in the U.S. Congress from Eastern Oregon. This is but a sample of the talent Willamette has produced for government service. Intertwined from the beginning, the relationship of Willamette University and Oregon state government remains so. After nearly 150 years, like good neighbors, they continue to share and to borrow from one another in a mutu mutually ally beneficial way. 12On campuis Ties with Pacific Rim expand with visits, conference, speakers Speakers from China and Mexico, as well as Pacific Rim trade and aca academic demic specialists from around the nation, came to Willamette for In the Pacific Interest, a conference held in February.

Oates' engaging talk explored "the life of the writer and the life of the ca career" reer" peppered with anecdotes about her own life and career as America's most prolific writer ("they say it as if it's something obscene," she says). Maya Angelou followed Oates in the Atkinson Series on February 23. Angelou held a standing-room-only audience spellbound with her songs, poetry and humor. Imploring "young men and women" to take responsibil responsibility ity for their own lives and to do the very best they can for their own sakes, Angelou stated "there's a world of dif difference ference between being trained and being educated." She commanded and received the rapt attention of every member of the audience, creating an enchanted and intimate atmosphere in the midst of the 1200 seat auditorium.

Dedicated to three daughters of a Shinto god, and having records dating as far back as 81 1 A.D., the shrine is built on platforms that stand above water at high tide. By Michael Ishii Willamette University offered its first Pacific Rim Studies semester fall term 1988. It included study and travel at three sister universities in Xiamen, China; Se Seoul, oul, Korea; and Kazvagoe, Japan. A stu student dent on that program, Michael Ishii '90, from Seattle, reflects on the trip. We stepped off the plane, sixteen hours after leaving Seattle, into muggy Hong Kong air. We had an over over-nighter nighter at the Waterloo Road YMCA before reaching Xiamen, Fujian prov province, ince, People's Republic of China, two calendar days from the States. We lost one of those days somewhere over the ocean. Our group of twenty-two students and two professors, "Buzz" and "Libby" Yocom, spent fifteen weeks on the Pacific Rim Studies semester, studying at Willamette's East Asian sister universities; we spent five weeks at Xiamen University in Xiamen, China; two weeks at Kookmin Univer University sity in Seoul, Korea; and eight at Tokyo International University in Kawagoe, Japan. What kind of presumptions do you take on a trip abroad? As few as pos possible sible so much is either disproven or radically changed the longer you spend in another culture, living as part of it. That, more than anything else, was our goal. In China, we had to deal with no running hot water the only water we could use to make tea or to brush our teeth came in plastic orange thermos containers, boiled daily. We slept under mosquito nets and worried about rats. We were told it was com common mon to get sick while we were there; many did, and we nicknamed it "Mao's Revenge." But we also packed in a lot of living. The biggest part of our experience in any of the three countries was bridging cultural differences. Since this was not a language-based program, we had to battle our own incompetence. It wasn't that hard we survived know knowing ing "Hello" and "Thank you," the numbers to ten and the word for beer. Shopping was done through a grunt-ing-sound sign language, or else we'd carry calculators to punch up prices. I remember Mr. Lin, a professor at Xiamen University, and Deb Warner, visiting professor from Harvard . They told us that nothing in China is consid considered ered fun unless it involves climbing stairs. We climbed plenty of them: Sunlight Rock, on Gulangyu Island across the bay from Xiamen, had about four hundred stairs (I stopped count counting ing around 250). The grade of the Great Wall is steady in spots, almost straight up and down in others. We tried to climb the Wall and come back down in an hour, but didn't get up very far. Stairs, stairs, stairs. And we had fun traveling in China, on CAAC, the domestic airline. We rode on old Russian planes, where the chairs in front bent forward for us to get into our seats, where they served us warm orange drink and chocolate bars that didn't melt. The airports, except for Beijing, were more like bus depots. At Xian, they handled all baggage outdoors, as if there was no airport. Our stay in Korea was brief. It was more an excursion, like our two-day stopover in Hong Kong on the way out of China; it was a two-week stopover, the object to spend money. We found the massive I Tae Won section of Seoul, complete with its own Pizza Hut and Burger King. It's where the foreigners and military personnel go, and the vendors there sell wares in dollars as well as Korean won. Nearly everyone in the group bought Reeboks. And sweaters and suits. And cotton shirts with pictures of flags of the Olympics' past host countries, Korea's flag proud on the front, the US and USSR flags battling for space on each sleeve. We were kept a few miles away from Kookmin University, due to fear of riots. But the closest I came to seeing riots was one evening when a group of us were walking to a local pub called the Hof Braii riot police were assem assembling bling and getting on buses, in a small wooded area by a long wall with "Victory" written in Korean and Eng English. lish. Korea is often considered a step stepping ping stone between China and Japan. Willamette Scene Spring 1989 15When describing themselves, the Ko Korean rean professors we had often made the same parallels. One described tem temperaments peraments in terms of chopsticks, that since the Chinese have long, dull dull-tipped tipped chopsticks they are leisurely, whereas Japanese chopsticks are shorter and with sharp points, imply implying ing they are more quick-tempered. Where are Koreans? According to him, somewhere in between. By far Japan provided the richest cultural experience, because of home home-stays. stays. They took care of us like family, helping us fall into regular schedules. We took classes at TIU, had papers to write, but in spite of that, and in spite of high costs, we did quite a bit. Our group trip took us to Kansai, where we saw the old capital Kyoto, Hiroshima, and the Big Buddha in Nara. Many traveled on their own to such beautiful places as Nikko. Students, host fami families, lies, and friends were always throwing parties for us or taking us places Tokyo Disneyland, Roppongi's Hard Rock Cafe, or the Clapton concert at the Tokyo Dome, nicknamed the "Big Egg-" We had a room in the International Centerdesignated as ours. Since many of us had to commute by train or bus to campus, it made a good headquarters.

I usu usually ally ate at the cafeteria there, or had rice cakes from Family Mart, or went to Mos Burger, a throwback to 50s fast food joints, with burgers that tasted more like Salisbury steak. Somehow, I spent over three times as much money on lunches in Japan than I did my entire stay in China. At the end, we took a long time saying goodbye. As we waited to get on the plane at Narita, counselors and friends who had followed us there from Kawagoe stood outside the boarding area for over an hour, waited the way we waited, unable to let go. What we gained, above all else, was an understanding of ourselves by being observers of other people and cultures, by being the travelers wait waiting ing in the airport for the next plane. I remember TIU'sbrickplaza,andhow it reminded me of Willamette. Or to use the words of Denise Meagles, a WU grad currently in Japan, being at TIU is not like leaving Willamette in many ways, it is Willamette, a Willamette of the East.

In his second game as a Bearcat, the 6-foot-6 transfer from Central Oregon Community College scored a school-record 41 points - a mark that still stands. He led WU in scoring that year, averaging 19.1 points per game, but the Bearcats were an average club at 13-13. A year later, Cashman was named NAIA District II Player of the Year after leading the 'Cats to the District title and a 24-5 season that ended with a loss in the first round of the national tournament to eventual NAIA cham champion pion Grand Canyon. Cashman's impact at Willamette was equalled by WU's influence on the young man from Bend High School. He came to Willamette knowing he wanted to play basketball, but little else. "I had no intentions of teaching until I went to Willamette," he recalled during a recent telephone conversa conversation tion from his office in Lake Washing Washington ton High School of Kirkland, Wash. "I was going to go into business." But after a while, the teaching per personalities sonalities of Russ Beaton and Dick Gillis, both professors in Economics still at Willamette, rubbed off on him. Cashman, who teaches marketing and was head coach of the boys' basketball team for seven years before taking this past season off, remembered Beaton's teachings the best. "He made the classroom real fun, but at the same time challenging," Cashman said of Beaton. "Gillis was the same way, and that's the same way I run my classroom." Cashman was the leader of what may have been the best Willamette basketball team in its 65-year history of the sport. Under coach Jim Boutin during Cashman's senior season, the Bearcats won the eight-team NAIA District II Tip-Off Tournament, won their own four-team John Lewis Holi Holiday day Basketball Classic, went 15-1 at home (the first year of Cone Field House) and won the NAIA District II championship. Then the individual honors came pouring in. First was his District II MVP award, then Honorable Mention NAIA All-American, and finally Hon Honorable orable Mention All-Coast, the only small college player to be so-named. Cashman was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in eighth round and went through rookie camp before he was cut. He played one year profes professionally sionally in Belgium before he began coaching in the prtp ranks. A few years later he became an assistant at Portland State, before the school dropped the program, which led to Cashman getting the coaching teach teaching ing position in Kirkland. He owns a record of 77-70 at Lake Washington and after the 1984-85 season was named District's Coach of the Year. I had no intentions of teaching until I zvent to Willamette. 99 After sitting out this past season, though, Cashman - who is now mar married ried and has two boys - knows he'll be back on the sidelines next season. "I'm going to be coaching in some capacity, but it may not be at this school," he said. "It may be at one of the local junior colleges, or with one of the local youth programs." But he's teaching, and for that he thanks Willamette. "It was just the right school for me," said Cashman. "The only regret is I didn't go there all four years." Bearcat football team dominates Division II Scholar-Athlete list The Willamette University football team posted only a 4-5 record this past fall, but the Bearcats might have been ranked No. 1 nationally in NAIA Divi Division sion II if a poll were conducted on aca academic demic strength. In mid-January the NAIA released its Scholar-Athlete list for Division II -comprised of 112 schools - and the Bearcats landed more players on it than any other. WU had six players honored out of 92 nationwide, one more than Baker University of Kansas. Bearcat Scholar-Athletes included: senior guard Matt Birnie (Gooding, Idaho), 3.67 g.p.a. in Political Science; senior noseguard Russell Kaupu (Honolulu, Hawaii), 3.84 g.p.a. in Eco EconomicsMathematics; nomicsMathematics; senior line linebacker backer Pat Morley (Kailua, Hawaii), 3.29 g.p.a. in Business Management; senior guard David Smith III (Tacoma, Wash.), 3.28 g.p.a. in Economics; jun junior ior linebacker Steve Bradbury (The Dalles, Ore.), 3.70 g.p.a. in Physics; and junior tailback Darren Holsey (Hillsboro, Ore.), 3.84 g.p.a. in Mathe Mathematics. matics. Morley also made the Division II All-American Honorable Mention list. 18'James Gang' wins NCIC again Although Willamette University's men's basketball team bowed out of the N AIA District II playoffs in the first round, the Bearcats picked up where they left off last season in rewriting some of the school's hoop history. For the second straight year, WU won the Northwest Conference title outright and finished the season with a winning record. The only other time WU claimed sole possession of back-to-back NCIC crowns was in 1958-59 and 1959-60, and the 'Cats last had two winning seasons in a row in 1975-76 and 1976-77. Highlights during the season in included: cluded: Willamette's first back-to-back victories over Southern Oregon and Oregon Tech since Dec. 29-30, 1971; the first WU win over OIT since Feb. 25, 1977; and WU's 74-72 victory over Whitman at the buzzer via Scott Yates' layup, which proved to be the Missionaries' only home loss of the season. Willamette posted a 15-12 overall record and a 9-3 Conference mark despite numerous interruptions. For example, both starting guard Russ Sovde and starting forward Erik Clarkson suffered two sprained ankles at crucial times. Clarkson missed the regular-season finale at home against Linfield, a 76-66 loss. That verdict sent the Bear Bearcats cats on the road in the first round of the District playoffs, where they lost 97-91 at Northwest Nazarene College of Nampa, Idaho. Clarkson went wild in that game, scoring 25 points on 7-of-8 shooting from beyond the 3-point line. "Clarkson would have been the dif difference ference against Linfield," said Willam Willamette ette head coach Gordie James, who was named NAIA District II Coach of the Year in his rookie season last year and owns an impressive 19-3 record in Conference play. "There were times where it ap appeared peared that just about the time we were building momentum, we met a minor setback," added the coach. Still, the Bearcats had a year to be ' to-.'"-- v-j. . ; j : y - Bearcat sophomore point guard Ted Harris proud about. Playing with only one senior, forward Scott Marshall, WU finished the regular season far and away the best defensive team in all of District II. Marshall, the fourth best rebounder in the District, won the honor of West Division Player of the Week for Jan. 22 22-28 28 after he scored 35 points, pulled down 29 rebounds and dished out 13 assists in three games. The next week, WU sophomore point guard Ted Har Harris ris won the same honor after three WU victories catapulted the Bearcats from fourth to second in the West standings. Harris scored 41 points, pulled down 15 rebounds, dished out seven assists and came away with five steals. He also shot 56.3 from 3-point range (9 of 16). Harris, who as a freshman set a school record for free throw percent percentage age in a season (86.2), threatened to break Steve Fedler's single-season 3 3-point point percentage record of 56.4 be before fore tailing off near the end of the season and finishing at 50.4. Clarkson wound up as the Bearcats' leading scorer at 14.7 points per game and Marshall tallied a career-high 27 points in his last home game. TJ Swimmers break 11 school records at national meet Heading into the NAIA Swimming and Diving Championships March 1 1-4, 4, Willamette swimming coach Jim Brik figured the Bearcats might be able to set a school record in one event - the men's 400-yard freestyle relay. Well, Jeane Dixon he isn't. Brik took nine swimmers to nation nationals als and the Bearcats returned with 11 new school records. Junior Eric Moore set new standard s in the 100 and 200 freestyles, senior Brett Johnson did the same in the 1,000 freestyle and 400 individual medley, junior Bert Gottschalk owns the new 100 breaststroke mark, and the men broke records in three relays en route to 14th place out of 32 schools. WU junior Nancy Maxwell set a new mark in the 200 freestyle, and the 200 and 400 freestyle relay teams broke the previous standards as well. The women were 14th of 28 schools. Like Moore, Maxwell finished in the top eight in her specialties - the 100 and 200 freestyles - to earn All-American acclaim in both events. Brik's explanation for the records: "I think part of it was the emotionality of the meet; you get caught up in it." Soccer star gets national recognition Junior Kathy Kelso (Beaverton, Ore.) became the first women's soccer player in the history of Willamette to earn NAIA All-American honors. Kelso, who scored the winning goal in WU's dramatic upset of eventual national champion Pacific Lutheran, was selected to the 12-member Honor Honorable able Mention list. Kelso, whose 48 goals in her three years at Willamette is an all-time school record, paced the Bearcats to their highest national ranking ever last fall - 7th.

Mahoney Director of Alumni Relations As you know, in 1992 Willamette University will celebrate the 150th an anniversary niversary of its founding. A campus committee has been at work for some months exploring the possible forms the celebration can take. Because of the importance we attach to having alumni involved not only in festivities but in the planning as well, I am using my allotted space in this issue of the Scene to tell you about some of the ideas that have come before the com committee. mittee. I hope you'll let me know your reactions and suggestions. You can clip or photocopy this page, fill it out and return it to the Office of Alumni Relations. In addition to filling out the form, please add your special memo memories ries and anecdotes and tell us about any artifacts and memorabilia you may have. Your ideas and comments on our ongoing Scene series will be appreciated. ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS: The vari various ous activities planned for the Sesqui- p.

Some of these will be educational and cultural in nature: lectures, classes, visiting scholars and artists, performances and exhibits. There is a plan for an oral history of Willamette as well as a pro proposal posal for a scholarly history. A week- long alumni university is under con consideration. sideration. Other events will fall in what we have come to call the "hoopla" cate category. gory. One ambitious proposal is for reserved-for-Will?mette railcars on trains coming from San Diego and Seattle picking up alumni along the way to Salem. Even more invigorating is the suggestion of a Salem, Massa Massachusetts, chusetts, to Salem, Oregon, bike relay. No one has yet proposed an around-the-Cape sailing expedition to com commemorate memorate Jason Lee's voyage. MEMORABILIA: What would you like to have to commemorate Willamette's Sesquicentennial?
