I'm a student at the UO-and I hate to do this, but I'm going to defend Frohnie.

In his statement posted on the University website, he said "Because the university is a state agency, I cannot make distinctions or allowances on this matter, regardless of the cause or the breadth of its support. Whether the message is "Support Our Troops," "Fund Cancer Research" or "Support Tsunami Relief," employees may not place personal stickers or magnets on state-owned vehicles."

I agree with him. Contrary to what people have said, I've seen very few state-owned vehicles in Eugene with personal stickers on them (I actually cannot recall any, but I won't say I haven't ever seen them...). Though this is a case of a rule probably needing to be bent, Frohnmayer IS right. And as a former Attorney General, he probably doesn't want to just go make things up as he goes-especially when these issues are so prominent. Trust me, my boyfriend knows the man fairly well-he didn't want to do it.

Hey, all I said was Pete Baker is a rare breed in Eugene. And you must be too if you post here.

BTW, check out post #8 and keep us posted when the next union contract comes up for negotiation.

BTW 2; the Ducks need to change those gawd awful football uniforms!
