He's been a member of our House of Representatives, Oregon's attorney general, dean of the University Oregon School of Law, a law professor, and legal counsel to the President of the University of Oregon.

He is now preparing to retire after 15 years as head of the University. His thoughts on today's political scene will be the subject of our next Third Thursday.

Our speaker will be University of Oregon President Dave Frohnmayer. His experiences as a lawyer, elected official, and educator have prompted observations that are of particular interest to members and friends of the League of Women Voters.

Our Third Thursdays happen in The Mallard Banquet Hall at 725 West 1st Street in Eugene. The program, which is free, will begin at 12:15 p.m. For those who wish to purchase lunch ($10.00 which includes tip), a buffet is spread at 11:45.

Call the League office, 343-7917, or e-mail us at league@lwvlc.org for lunch reservations. Reservations are an important help to the Mallard as it prepares for our Third Thursdays.
