I can't really say anything
about the U of 0 that would
make any sense to anybody else.
I mean, it's different for
everybody, and if I said
something that sounded
profound to me, it would
probably sound like to crap to
the next guy. I bet what I just
said sounds like crap, huh? I
guess that's what I want to say,
though. I mean, what I like best
about this school is that you can
do whatever you want--I mean,
you can be yourself. That's kind
of neat, if you think about it.
Even though you're right in the
middle of 16,000 carbon copies
of yourself, you can still be
an individual. And that's
important. Hey, you're not
really going to print this, are
you?"

"My aunt Esther came to
visit one weekend, and I took
her around to see the campus.
'This is really beautiful,' she
said. 'You have some very nice
architecture.' I laughed,
because I'd never thought of it
that way. It had always been
just a bunch of tacky old
buildings and a few tacky new
buildings, stuck around in the
middle of a lot of grass and
trees and stuff. But when you
think of it as architecture, it
takes on a whole new aspect.
It's pretty nice."

"Yeah, I like sports. Football
season wasn't too great--no
wait, I take that back. We had
a great cribbage tournament in
the student section. And of
course basketball season was
terrific. Oh, sure, beating
UCLA--twice no less--that was
really choice, but I'm talking
about the other stuff. Things
like throwing Frisbees, hassling
the officials, and wearing those
I'm A Deranged Idiot buttons.
It's like a ritual, you know?
Even standing in line--that's
part of it. I wish I had a dollar
for every hour I spent waiting
in line. I could pay my phone
bill, for one thing. And believe
me, that's a lot of hours. But it
was worth it, I guess. I mean,
what the hello-you're only in
college once, right?"

"The first week of fall term
my roommate told me I should
buy an umbrella. 'Everybody
here has an umbrella,' he says.
'It's because it rains so much.'
I thought he was crazy. Back
home nobody carries an
umbrella. But who am I to
argue with a native? So I buy
an umbrella. Layout ten bucks
I use it maybe three times all
term. 'The worst drought in
years,' he tells me. 'A
catastrophe,' he says.
Sometimes I think you can't
trust anybody anymore."

"If I don't get back to LA
pretty soon I'm going to
scream. This place is getting on
my nerves with all this organic
nonsense. The whole town is
like a big jar of unstirred
yogurt. It's all arts and crafts
and natural footwear. And
trees--all over the place.
Everywhere you look, it's trees
and grass and grass and trees
and squirrels and little duckies
and trees and grass and bushes
and green green green green

"Going to school just gets to
be a drag sometimes. Every
once in a while I start feeling
like I can't look at a book
another minute. I have to get
out and do something. It
doesn't really matter what it
is - sometimes it's basketball,
or a qUick trip to the beach,
or just plain rowdiness. When
you've got the Zanies it doesn't
make any difference as long as
you don't have to think."

"I like it here. I think the
campus is a very romantic
place. No, seriously - have you
ever walked through it at night?
Especially in the spring. It's so
peaceful and quiet. It's the kind
of place where you can hold
hands and sigh and whisper.
Really, it's a great place for a
tempestuous romance. I think
I'm going to have one - maybe
next term when I have more
time."

"Actually some of the courses
here are very thought-provoking.
Sometimes I gaze up at the
beautiful lady on the steps of
the art museum and wonder if
the person who created her
had to take Health 250?"

"My first day on campus, my
parents helped me move in, and
Dad shook my hand and Mom
kissed me, and then they got in
the car. Mom rolled down her
window and said, 'Call us if
you need anything.' And then
they drove away, and I turned
around and there was that great
big University. My stomach
turned over, and I thought,
'What the hell am I doing here?'
That was almost four years ago,
and I still don't know what the
hell I'm doing here. I keep
hoping somebody will tell me."

Possibly the most perplexing topic a student faces during a
college career - Food_ "Where, what and with whom do I
want to consume morsels of delectable epicurian delight? A
Whopper? Peking Duck?"
Many a mother must meditate upon the possible
deficiencies her non-nutritional-minded child may procure
after a diet of Taco Time, Taco Bell, Baskin-Robbins,
Farrell's, Burger King, Wendy's, Arctic Circle, etc.
And the folks at Alka-Seltzer, Digel, Bromo-Seltzer, and
Pepto-Bismol must smile when they remember the
gastronomical monstrosities dished out at every college
dormitory.
But, woe to the student who has never seen a 16 oz. New
York cut, never eaten salad with a chilled fork, or never
singed an eyebrow ogling a flaming cherries jubilee. Yet those
blessed with "funny money" (better known as food stamps)
can dine nightly in luxury and healthfulness (or buy a life-time
supply of Nacho Cheese Doritos, Diet Pepsi and Pepperidge
Farm cookies).
For the apartment dweller then, there lies the challenge.
Dormies, Greeks, et al must suffer the demented minds of
cooks who've seen one too many 10 gallon bowls of chipped
beef. Dwell then upon the nightly task of concocting
something to the tune of "What's Left in the Frig?" Well,
there's mayo, lasagna, broccoli, a chili pepper, oh and
beer

28-drought
Like ducks out of water. No hurricanes, no earthquakes, no
avalanches - and no rain.
The Willamette Valley became a parched northern Death
Valley. The once omnipresent monsoons never came.
Across the country people clawed at their clothes, sought
out oceans, pools, rivers, lakes and large ice teas. The end of
July saw the most "sweaty" week of heat since the Dust Bowl
days. One of those days, 44 of the 50 states recorded
temperatures above 90 degrees.
Miles of parched fields, lakes with water levels 20 feet
below normal exposing docks and several "high and dry"
vessels were the scenes of drought. One hundred degree-plus
temperatures in New York City nearly baked the Big Apple to
its core. Hot stagnant air spiraled air pollution levels and
proved fatal at times. Water usage was patroled as
restrictions, even bans, were put into affect in areas of
extreme drought.
Happy, though, were the air conditioning companies. From
home to car to office to night spot to home - the challenge
was beating the heat between destinations.
Whether or not the summer's scorcher was nature's way of
leveling out last year's "deep freeze," the scientific pros
remain unsure. But woe to the skier who saw not a single
snowflake.
Several area ski resorts (and numerous others across the
country) declared emergency situations. Gov. Bob Straub took
an "air tour" of the state to determine "hot spots," areas
which would see extreme fire danger in the dry months of
tourist activity.
But on campus we took advantage of the dropless skies,
tucked our umbrellas in the closet, and adorned April tans and
scant dress. The rain would fall again, perhaps sooner than we
cared, but a duck is a duck and when it rains, it pours. By

Donread At The Bat by Clark Walworth
It looked extremely rocky for the Ducks in seventy-three;
Their two-nine season record wasn't what it ought to be.
And sure the prospects were to be the same for seventy-four,
The soggy fans gazed tearful down toward Autzen's Astro floor.
More than a few got up to go; alumni wept in shame;
"Not another dime," they cried, "til you learn to win a game."
But one hope was remaining still, the faithful clung to that-
They knew they'd have a winning year, with Donread at the bat.
But Enright, who'd preceded him, and Frei back further still,
Had fallen face-first in the mud, when swinging at the pill.
The crowd, grown sparser year by year (and not without good reason),
Longed for the days when Casanova'd coached a winning season.
But now new promise stood before, a chance for Pac-8 glory;
A new coach coming forward now could write a brand new story.
So as Enright climbed aboard the bus, the AD stood to shout,
"We have a slugger on the way - see there, he's trotting out!"
Then from the rain-soaked Autzen stands went up a joyous cheer-
It rumbled from the footbridge; it shook the students' beer;
It rose from every dormie, from the boys of every frat;
For Donread, Mighty Donread, was advancing to the bat.
His eyes, they were a-gleaming, as he joined the boys in green;
His face it was a-beaming, his cleats were sparkling clean;
And when he flashed that golden smile to where the alumni sat,
No stranger to the burg could doubt, 'twas Donread at the bat.
Every eye in Autzen followed as he strode across the field,
Alumni pried loose checkbooks that had long been tightly sealed.
And when the season opened, and he started two-for-three,
The fans, their hunger long denied, now tasted victory.
But then November came and went, without another win;
Still stood the batsman in his place, still shone his toothy grin.
Another two-nine season done, to the showers the Big Green fled;
"It was a building year," said Donread-"Strike one," the umpire said.
Then from the umbrella-studded stands went up a muffled roar,
Like the quacking of the mallards by the scummy Millrace shore.
"We want touchdowns, not excuses," gurgled someone through his beer;
"If you'll be patient," Donread said, "I'll bring you some - next year."
His smile a little dampened, Donread took his place once more;
The crowd sat breathless, sure they'd see the wins they'd long ached for;
He signaled to the pitcher, sent forth again the green-clad crew;
They stumbled back, three-eight the count; the umpire said, "Strike two."
"I would rather be whipped in a public square than watch a game like that!"·
So yelled a curly stranger, at the man who stood at bat;
Donread's face turned stern and cold; he cried, "I need more loot!"
And Curly said, "Here's thirty-five grand - go ye forth now and recruit."
The grin is gone from Donread's mouth; his eyes no longer shine,
His muscles strain to mash the ball - his job is on the line.
And now the season comes again, and now it passes by,
And now four-seven is the count, and piteous is the cry.
Oh, somewhere in a college town, a football team's adored;
Howard Cosell asks them somewhere to explain just how they scored,
And somewhere 'round a post-game keg the students laugh and shout,
But there is no joy in Duckville - Mighty Donread has struck out.
·University President Wiiliam Boyd, September 1975

Swine Flu
An unneeded shot the arm
I' [
r 1,\ (
Despite a national halt to the much-ballyhooed Swine Flu
Immunization Project in December, some 5,000 University
students and staff received their "shot in the arm" before
the clinics closed.
The virus, formally named A/New Jersey/76 strain
because an initial outbreak occurred in Fort Dix, N.J., caused
enough alarm for physicians and national health authorities to
promote a widespread swine flu immuniz,ation program, Dr.
Avard Long, director of the University Student Health
Center, said about 25 per cent of the total number of persons
eligible for the shots were inoculated, compared to 12 per
cent nationally. Long termed the campus project
"successful. "
The University clinics operated in the basement of the
Student Health Center but were shut down when it was
discovered a number of patients in the country who had
received vaccines developed Gauillain-Barre Syndrome, a
condition causing temporary paralysis.
Although some deaths occurred nationally, no cases of the
syndrome were reported at the University clinic, Long said,
nor were any severe reactions reported.
From the rush to begin the program to the sudden
curtailment of all swine flu inoculations, Long said, the
situation had "a lot of unhappy things happen," As a result
of the uproar over the flu vaccine's connection with the
syndrome, "You couldn't pay people to get the vaccine,"
he said.
The University had planned to administer booster shots to
those persons initially immunized against the flu, but the HEW
halt order cut off those clinics as well. No further booster
programs were scheduled, either at the University or around
the nation .
.While they lasted, the clinics operated smoothly, both in
Lane County and at the University, because much volunteer
help came from students, Red Cross aides and personnel
from the health education department on campus. Students
first received the shots in a first-come, first-served basis,
then the clinics were opened to faculty and staff.
A bright side of the swine flu picture was the low incidence
of any type of flu at all during the winter - a relatively rare
occurrence, Long pointed out that almost no cases of any flu
strain were reported. By Dina Miles

Facing the cutbacks
Enrollment
34-enrollment
Eugene once had good reason to boast about its growing,
flourishing college campus. The boasts were silenced,
however, when the University's enrollment pattern, long an
upward curve, took a sudden dive.
Budgetary cutbacks startled not only administrators, but
also students, and discussion about new funding models
became more than just idle talk during coffee breaks, for
one basic reason: a year-long droop in enrollment.
The droop wasn't really a droop, though it might as well
have been for the reaction it received. The first shock during
fall term showed attendance down nearly four per cent from
1975, a 600-student drop from 17,400 to 16,800. This
apparent slump was deceiving, however, because fall
enrollment was actually 500 students above the count for
1974, which totaled only 16,300.
The reason for the big scare was the particularly good
attendance of 1975, according to Guy Lutz, director of
analytic services.
"A change in the fee structure last year pumped in a lot of
additional students, mostly non-matriculants," he said. "After
a particularly good year, the tendency is to think we busted
down."
"I don't see any problems, all things considered, as long as
the University gets its fair share, and barring unforeseen
complications," he said. He envisioned enrollment decreasing
gradually (maybe by another 300 in 1977) but then
maintaining that level for the next four or five years.
Apparently, this 'deceptive droop' theory was insufficient
consolation to administrators who saw only faltering
enrollment figures. Winter term, likewise, witnessed a three
per cent decline from the previous winter. And spring term
continued the downward trend from 15,488 during the
1975-76 academic year to 15,172 in 1977.
Since University funding is based on student enrollment,
concern quickly surfaced about underfunding. In December
University President William Boyd said, "Higher education is
underfunded, and has deteriorated in quality in recent years.
It hasn't kept pace with the impact of inflation."
In March, Boyd said, "We will reduce our budget to get it
back down more into the range of realities." And he did.
Boyd announced changes cutting $1.1 million from the
University budget for the biennium. That spelled whittling
down the Wallace School of Community Services and Public
Affairs, along with the possible demise of the School of
Librarianship. But Roy Lieuallen, chancellor of the state
system of higher education, had reassuring words: "CSPA has
enrollment·35
Enrollment
not been eliminated; it has only been reorganized."
Lower enrollment can cause long-range funding difficulties.
Viewing that possibility, Glenn Starlin, vice-provost for
academic planning and resources, said "We're gonna be
scramblin'. "
Boyd sent letters to all University faculty explaining, "The
drop of 899 three-term full time equivalent students could
mean a loss of $1,079,071 in revenues in 1977·78. The
projected additional drop in 1978·79 could result in
further reduction of $286,236 - a total loss of $1,365,307
for the second year of the biennium, as compared to this
year's budget."
The University is funded on the basis of the number of
FTE students enrolled. One FTE is equivalent to a student
carrying 15 credit hours. For every dollar paid by students,
taxpayers reimburse the University about $2.80.
Funding based on FTE was "adequate with growing
enrollment, but not now," said Loren Wyss, a member of the
State Board of Higher Education.
"We've been left with an increasing fixed cost per
student," he said, and added that a cost support program
based on something other than FTE was necessary.
"A continuation of past funding patterns would surely
damage Oregon and reduce the value of the state's past
investments in this University," Boyd said.
Therefore, proposals for two new funding models came
under the scrutiny of the Oregon Legislature. Stafford
Hansell, director of the state's Executive Department,
proposed the first: establishing a floor below which
guaranteed funds from the state could not drop. This
funding 'floor' would not exceed a one per cent decrease
from the current budget allocation.
Lieuallen made the second proposal recommending a
procedure that would stabilize the level of support based on
projections for a six year period. He said this would entail a
budget reduction, but a smaller one than if the budget were
based entirely on the following year's enrollments projections.
36·enrollment
Starlin suggested several explanations for the year's
apparent decline in enrollment. Most obvious was that the
peak of the "baby-boom" birth-rate increase has been
reached. "It's just a fact," Starlin said. "We'll see a gradual
trailing off of people reaching the age to attend college."
In addition, fewer veterans are coming to the University as
G.!. benefits run out. "They can't afford it," Starlin added.
Ex-servicemen are often forced to find jobs instead, he said.
National economic policy in general is having an effect on
enrollment as well, and though its impact is two-sided, it's still
detrimental. On one hand, there's talk of government
cutbacks in financial aid packages. On the other hand, as the
economy appears to improve, more people explore the job
market assuming they'll pick up their education later.
Starlin also said "bad-mouthing the liberal arts education"
has made some potential students shy away. "The University
is known as the state's liberal arts college, and when people
start asking, 'What do you need a liberal arts education for?'
they go someplace else," he said.
Boyd had remarked earlier, "We have a fundamental
problem interpreting ourselves to the public."
"I think most important of all is we must start appealing
to the non-traditional students," Boyd said.
Dick Fehnel, an associate professor with CSPA, said it's
"unfortunate" that only now, in quest for funds, has
Oregon's educational system developed an interest in the
non-traditional student.
The irony of this whole predicament, as Starlin pointed
out, is that in May applications for admittance to the
University for 1977-78 were already up by 20 per cent over
the same time in 1976. "Students may simply be applying
earlier," he said, "or they may be 'no-shows,' or, by golly,
enrollment might go up again." By Kevin Rasmusen

Freshmen
Pack up the picket signs and break out the homecoming
float - the wave of the future - the freshman class - is
bringing back traditional campus activities, according to
Mark Henderson, freshman class president.
Henderson cites the way students "come unglued" during
basketball season, the resurgence of Greek living and a
general revival of school spirit to illustrate his assertion.
"Things are changing," the 20-year-old politico says.
Maybe so. Maybe a homecoming queen is waiting in the
wings, ready to burst onto the campus scene as soon as the
metamorphosis is complete. Henderson's constituents have
mixed feelings on the issue.
"I think a lot of those things are neat," says undeclared
freshman Phil Parker, 20. "It's fun to show spirit that way,
but participation in a homecoming - whatever - is a different
matter. I'd be aware there was a pageant but I wouldn't
participate. But I think it would be neat."
Don Logue, 20, undeclared, is all for tradition.
"I would like to see more school spirit," he says, "like at
the basketball games. Anything we can make to be a
tradition should be formed into a tradition."
David Latham, a 17-year-old chemistry major is less
enthusiastic.
"Homecoming is out of date for college life," he says. As
for basketball games: "I guess they're an outlet for people's
frustrations. I haven't gone to any, though."
Henderson of course acknowledges freshmen of today
aren't quite ready to start swallowing goldfish yet. He recalls
stories his father, who was freshman class president at
Oregon State University in 1946, told him about freshman
life way back when. Activities on post-war campuses included
beach outings and such all-time biggies as freshman initiation.
Henderson admits he'd be laughed off campus if he
suggested that last one. His classmates agree.
"I'd laugh," says Parker. "I'd make a cynical laugh and a
satirical comment." Even Logue, advocate of school spirit,
objects to the idea.
"I wouldn't go for frosh initiation here," he says.
"Freshmen here are different age groups and maturity
levels. Foreigh students might not understand it."
Latham is even more negative in his response.
"It's a degrading, barbaric custom that needs to be
abolished-even in high school," he says. If Latham's view
reflects those of the rest of his class, Henderson might not
only be laughed off campus - he might be tarred and
feathered and ridden out on a rail.
Freshmen, apparently, are willing to be joining fraternities
and sororities; some of them may even be persuaded to
participate in homecoming festivities.

Sophomores
"Being a sophomore means absolutely nothing. It's like
being a freshman only a year older," says Sue Bryant, a
sophomore in parks and recreation.
The word sophomore comes from the Greek sophos (wise)
and moros (fool). The wise fools apparently had enough of
University life as freshman to decide they liked it, and came
back as sophomores to make another attempt, this time
without getting lost on campus or going home every
weekend.
As sophomores, chances are they might take a whole year
of requirements and multiple choice tests. They might even
ask a question in their 180 PLC classes.
The upper-underclassmen numbered 2,682, with 1,475
women and 1,207 men. Undeclared proved a popular major,
with 21 per cent of the class opting for that slot.
For some, being a sophomore is a serious time. "It's a
time to start planning for the future. Really concerning
yourself with your major," says Katie Churchill, an
undeclared. "I wish I could take my own advice," she adds.
"This year has been a real goal-setting one for me. My
classes have more meaning because I now have a goal in
mind," says Anne Kingsbury, a health education major.
For some sophomores, at least, their year appears to be a
growing, building one. For the others, well, they seem to just
be a part of the amoebic mass of student humanity yet to
obtain the individualistic characteristics of a higher class.

Juniors
"Junior Feature Article."
The words come forth from your copy editor's mouth like
a pronouncement of sentence. Why me, you think. Juniors
just don't have anything really peculiar about them, except
that they're all in a holding pattern high above the field of
hiuher education. Seniors are preparing to graduate,
freshmen are stumbling around in their new world with
bulging eyes and drooling mouths, and sophomores are l
well, everyone knows it doesn't matter what you write about r
sophomores. But juniors.
"How do you want me to approach it?" you ask cautiously,
looking for a lead.
"Interview. Go out and rub shoulders with them. Take the
pulse of the junior class. Tap the fountain of information
waiting to be garnered from the sharp intellects of our three-
year wonders. Seek out and be "
He's still spouting gibberish as you walk out the door.
So you start close to home and ask your friend down the
hall what it's like to be a junior and to comment on any
particularly weird experiences here at the big U.
"I was taking a drama class for fun and we did a play for
the University," he says. "Just before the curtain dropped I
delivered a long soliloquy, 10 or 15 minutes. When I
finished, the house went wild, people applauding and
screaming, 'Again, again.'
"So I did it again, the whole thing, and drew the same
reaction. So I did it once more and they were back on their
feet. 'Again, again.'
"So I said, 'Look, I've done this piece three times already.
How many times do you want me to go through it?' Know
what they said?"
No, you shake your head, beginning to suspect.
"Until you get it right."
"That didn't really happen did it?" Sometimes you have
to ask these stupid questions, just to be sure.
"No. Look, I've got to go drirking with some friends, but
talk to me later; I'm really creative when I'm drunk."
All of which really pertains to being a junior.
The next day you run into Elizabeth Alley, 21, a junior
majoring in film studies.
"Every term that goes by, I'm tempted to quit and look for
a job," she says. "School just seems to be a better alternative.
"University life gives you a false sense of security," she
continues. "You're protected from the nine-to-five and all
the trappings that go with it. A large part of my reason for
going to school is the knowledge I'm gaining here, but
another part is to delay the time I'll have to go out and look
for work. Given the choice, wouldn't everyone be in
school?"
Well, things are at least picking up and, though most of
the material you've gotten has nothing to do with being a
junior, at least you're beginning to elicit a response. So you
hunt up the Dunn RA, Tammi Olson, 21, a double-major in
German and journalism.
"It's kind of nice being a junior," she says. "Your first
couple of years, the first year in particular, is kind of a tragic,
traumatic adjustment period. And when you're a senior
you're always worrying about how you're gonna collect your
unemployment. But when you're a junior you're adjusted to
the point where you don't have to worry about where you'll
go to do your laundry."
Which is all very nice. Nevertheless, you get the feeling
you've missed something: that common, unifying theme
running through the spirit of the junior class. And no matter
how many people help you out by listening patiently to your
silly questions, you still feel something's lacking.
Which is why there won't be any junior feature article in
the yearbook. But if you're still awake that last statement
might cause you to scratch your head and wonder what the
hell you've just read.
Don't ask me. Ask that guy in the corner staring
mournfully at a growing list of uncompleted assignments.
That guy with the .44 Magnum in his left hand and the
bullwhip in his right.

Seniors
"Mommy, who are all those people with the funny-looking
hats?"
Our turn has finally come. Clutching our diplomas
tightly to our chests like W.e. Fields holding a full house, we
prepare to step out into the world outside. Beaming with
confidence and rarely exhibiting any of the insecurities we
feel, we say farewell to our last known address, "The
University. "
For some of us, education is the only lifestyle we've known
and we're eagerly anticipating life after college. But not
without some reservations.
"I've been in school as long as I can remember and I'm
anxious to get out," says Karl LaRowe, a psychology-CSPA
major. "But I like our little subculture here. We're protected
and secure."
The University has offered us if. myriad of activities and
affairs we might otherwise have missed. Hunter S. Thompson
brought his own peculiar brand of brain-damage to the EMU.
Hitchcock, Fellini, and Bergman were featured in film science
courses. Jethro Tull and his pet flute played to a full house
at Mac Court.
We've learned to be aggressive in pursuit of these
opportunities. "Anything you do has to be self-initiated,"
says Janise Poticha, a landscape architecture major. "The
University provides music, films, speakers and other events.
But you have to utilize them."
The University has taught many of us to view our world
differently; things aren't always black and white. "College
has taught me that there's not two sides to a problem, there
aren't any sides at all. The problem is often more circular,
with the angles of differences not so sharply defined,"
observes Doug U'Ren, who majored in finance.
Four years encompasses a world of new ideas and
experiences. Glancing back we're greeted with a kaleidoscope
of images: the night we again whipped UCLA at Pauley
Pavillion; that winter with no rain; that time at Murphy's
when we all had so many that and somehow all these
pieces fit. Taken in total they are our license to enter as
college graduates the very real world of jobs and families
and babies that throw up on the new furniture.

Spring rush
Looking for the right one
40·rush
Spring - a time for cutting classes to play Frisbee, a time
for worrying about summer jobs, and a time for sorority
rush.
Planning, work, decisions, emotions, meeting new people,
entertainment, and togetherness all accompany the annual
rite of spring called rush - the semi-annual Greek
membership drive.
Sororities wish to be thought of as living options where
the women are solidified by sisterhood and the quest for
personal growth. They are a type of cooperative, with each
member sharing duties withing the house. Sororities are
social entities and mini-philanthropic organizations in that
they help raise money for charities and work on community
service projects.
Most women go through rush looking at sororities as a
living option, for many it's an escape from the dorms. Some
feel a need to join a sorority because many of their friends
have, while others yearn for the parties that are
commonplace in the Greek system.
Diane Gonthier is one who went through rush looking for
an alternative living situation. She said she went through to
see what sororities were like.
"I didn't go through in a life or death situation (about
Joining) like some did," she said.
"Hopefully the rushee is going through rush because she is
interested in sororities, or our house in particular," said Sue
Tanquist, a sorority member.
Whatever their reasons, 128 women started rush April 27
in an orientation meeting with Jane Harris, Panhellenic rush
chairman. Harris told the rushees to determine what they
wanted out of sorority life before pledging, and to keep an
open mind about the houses.
"The houses are interested in making you feel at home
they want you for members," she said.
April 28 and 29 were "open house" days. The rushees got
a chance to visit every house in small groups. Each open
house began with the members coming out of the house and
singing to the rushees.
"I've never seen so many happy people in my life," one
rushee said after the first open house. Another said, "It's a
weird feeling being swarmed by all those smiling girls."
April 30 - "skit day." The rushees were invited back to
the houses, and could re-visit six.
May 1 - "play day." Again the rushees were invited back
to the houses, but each rushee could visit only four houses.
May 2 - "preference day." The rushees went to three
houses for a progressive dinner (one course per house) then
signed preference cards. The next evening the rushees went
to the EMU to pick up their bids, or invitations to join a
sorority. Once picked up, bids are considered binding, and
the rushee has become a pledge of the house.
Of the 128 who started rush, 105 received bids. Laurie
Wood, Panhellenic president, said that everyone who signed
a preference card got a bid. The 82 per cent pledge rate was
"the best in some time."
Mary Gale, a rushee, had been skeptical because she heard
from a few sorority women, and some in her dorm, that rush
was demoralizing.
"I heard that once I got through the front door I would be
met by two girls and taken to a room to be mterviewed," she
said. However, Gale said, it was casual and relaxed, and not
at all as she had expected.
"I was petrified - I thought I would be cross-examined,"
she said.
Gonthier said she got tired of the "same old talk," but
admitted that the same techniques are used when trying to
get to know another person. She said after the first two
nights (open house) it was hard to tell the houses apart, and
that made it difficult to make a judgment after only 20
minutes with a sorority.
"I can't think of any different way to do it," she conceded.
Both Gale and Gonthier said they enjoyed meeting people,
and looked for people who were open and who they would
fit in with best. Gale said she "had a good time, basically,"
but got tired of talking and "being on my best behavior."
Sorority members stressed the qualities of their houses to
the rushees. Lisa Pollard, a house rush chairman, said her
house tried to put across the idea that being in a sorority is a
"good thing." Sue Gustafson, another rush chairman, said
her house tried to stress the lack of stereotyping done in the
house, and that the rushee can be herself.
Tanquist said her house tried to sell itself on its individual
merits, and discouraged talk of fraternities and wild parties.
Ginger Jones, another sorority member, said her house
stressed its closeness, and philanthropy rather than
functions.
"I like meeting people and entertaining in the house,"
said Tanquist. Jones said rush is part of keeping the house
going.
"If you make it fun, it is."
Gustafson said her house begins planning for rush winter
term, when committees are set up for each of the different
days. She said her job as rush chairman was to keep the
members motivated. "It can really drag, especially since rush
was during midterms," Gustafson said.
One rushee, who asked not to be identified, said her
parents were called by a woman who identified herself as an
alumna of a sorority on campus. The alumna asked her
father about her high school grades and activities, but not
any personal questions like financial standing.
"I thought they could have asked us just as well. I'm sure
it wouldn't bother alot of people, but I would hate to think
what my parents said determined if [ was accepted in a
sorority or not, but I don't think it mattered."
Wood said that 90 per cent of the houses on campus are
required by their national organizations to get references on
the rushees, and some make phone calls to the parents if
nobody in the house knows the rushee. She said the reasons
for getting references are twofold - they help the sorority
know the rushee better, and help in talking with the rushee.
Gustafson said that rush is a difficult time, demands a lot
and brings her house together.
"It makes me proud, and makes me realize what the house
does have to offer," she said. By Mark Stewart

One of the most unpopular topics for discussion among
students - grades - became a major issue of debate for the
University faculty and Senate as they hashed out the pros
and cons of reinstating the D grade. Finally, when the faculty
took the last vote on the issue in November, it decided to
accept the proposal set forth by William Lamon, associate
professor of education.
Erased from the University's grading system in 1972, the D
grade was reinstated in an attempt to curb what administrators
termed "grade inflation." Lamon felt that since the D grade
was thrown out, instructors tended to give higher grades - a C
instead of a D, a B instead of a C, and so on - to compensate
for the gap between C and N (no pass, no credit).
The new plan called for the grades A, B, C, D or F
(unsatisfactory, no credit) for the pass-differentiated area,
and P or N for pass-undifferentiated.
If this network of letters is beginning to look like alphabet
soup, read on: Lamon's original proposal included the mark I,
in addition to P and N, to indicate less than satisfactory work.
The faculty rejected that part of the plan.
Further adjustments to Lamon's plan included the issuance
of pluses or minuses with grades and the new 90 per cent
rule. This change means that 90 per cent of all work graded
at the University, no longer 85 per cent, must be passed with
grades A, B, C or P.
Discussion of the D-grade plan dragged on for nearly two
years, beginning in 1975 when Lamon first introduced the
proposal. Not much was said about it then, but more heated
arguments sprang up during the year leading to the plan's
eventual passage. Despite the struggle, Lamon felt strongly
that the current system needed revision, especially because of
grade inflation.
"The grades now have devaluated themselves," Lamon
said. Because of this rise in the number of higher grades
given, Lamon said he felt the grades do not always accuratelv
assess a student's performance. He believed the D grade
would "at least give credit" to students for the work they had
done, even if it was not "average" as the C is supposed to
indicate, nor if it did not deserve a failing mark.
Lamon also pointed to the trend of "open door" policies
among universities for grade inflation, in which colleges
encourage students from minorities or underprivileged
backgrounds to attend college. He said that when some
students can't meet the standards for work at that level,
instructors either lower their work standards or give higher
grades, thus inflating the system. Because the present
arrangement has "no refined discrimination" for levels of
performance, Lamon said, "we make a mockery out of our
grading system."
Lamon added that certain political reasons among
administrators may have kept the D grade from coming back
sooner. "Trends have changed," he said. "Many decisions are
based on political reasons, not academic reasons. Political
influences have an enormous impact on University life, and
I presume that's why the D grade was put away."
Lamon expressed hope that the plan would provide a more
refined grading system at the University, because when grade
inflation occurs, he said, "the integrity of the institution is
challenged." By Dina Miles

Second Perennial
Poetic
CJloollaw
"To be really listening to poetry you have to be in the right
place," explained Santa Cruz poet Tomas Fuentes. "And
when you're there it's like a religious moment, or maybe a
better word is a spiritual moment."
Balloons were everywhere and kids were blowing bubbles.
The music of flutes lifted Mac Court higher and higher. If
poetry is to be spiritual, it is also to be fun if Ken Kesey has
anything to do with it, especially if you add Paul Krassner,
Rashaan Roland Kirk, the Reverend Chumleigh, the NewMime
Circus, the Eugene Theater Company and balloons, bubbles
and flutes.
The Second Perennial Poetic Hoohaw was underway - a
mixture of music, fantasy, dance, magic and, of
course, poets, lots of them. Call it a rite of spring. Allen
Ginsberg would make the sun go down, Eldridge Cleaver and
Dr. Timothy Leary were rumored to debate the future of the
world and the audience would join with performers in the
celebration of the human potential.
"The natural business of civilization in spring should be to
bring people together," said Kesey before the May 7 event,
which was sponsored by the Intrepid Trips Society for
Aesthetic Revolutionary Training (ITS ART) and Northwest
Review, a campus literary magazine.
"What we're doing now is firing the vessel that we turned
on the wheel last year," he continued, referring to the
previous year's event. "We've got to make it this year or else
it will turn into a philanthropic folly it will die on the vine
like a big, weird orchid."
Paul Krassner has probably never been called a big, weird
orchid, but he is an oddity. Former publisher of The Realist, a
magazine which mixed politics and humor, he is now hiring
himself out as a stand-up comic of the Left. On stage he
announced that this year was the 10th anniversary of San
Francisco's Summer of Love.
The announcement did not seem to startle anyone, but then
they had just shook off an afternoon's hard rain and settled
46-hoohaw
within the seats of Mac Court.
It jarred me, however. Looking around at the bare feet, the
long skirts, the frisbees floating through the air, I had to
wonder - was this another Be-In or was it a Was-In or what?
In 1977, how in the world does this all fit? If it was a
revival of an ancient rite of spring, then raise the roof beams
higher. But what if this was a bit of '60s nostalgia, some
anachronistic happening that was served up as warmed-over
Woodstock Nation.
I talked this over with Jack Micheline, a San Francisco poet
who never lost his Bronx accent. He gave me one of his
streetwise looks, the one which said to stop intellectualizing.
Just dig on the good vibes man, the good energy, because this
Hoohaw is one of a kind, it's special, he said.
And it was amaZing, was it not, that 3,500 people could get
together, to be part of this Poetic Hoohaw, yes, it was
amazing - so kick back and slow down I told myself, let the
music of Rashaan Roland Kirk flow over us all, let it be.
But then a woman handed me a bottle of wine in a paper
bag. I looked up to see that she was someone I had known
briefly from six years ago when the New World and the
Odyssey were happening in Eugene, when the radical
newspaper, the Augur, was heralding a new path in this
town and one sip of wine was too much, it was too sweet
and delicious and symbolic a moment to let go by Just
So! in the words of Tom Wolfe.
And wasn't it Wolfe who said that historians will look back
on the '60s not as a political happening but a religious
awakening - "There are some moments when 'Let It Be' and
'Do It' become the same thing," intoned Krassner at the
Hoohaw.
There, in the Hoohaw poster itself, a human figure with
arms uplifted, hands chained together reaching through
something primeval and black, reaching toward a bizarre set
of teeth which hover above the figure, and there - a playful
hoohaw-47
Creativity, whatever the mode, brought these
artists to the Second Perennial Poetic Hoohaw.
(Clockwise from left): Poetic readings and
instrumental efforts by various artists were
numerous; Allen Ginsberg spoke of days gone by
as did a Native American speaker; the Rev.
Chumleigh performed his amazing strait-jacket
escape act and Rashaan Roland Kirk provided
some Hoohaw music.
rocket zooms out of the mouthful of teeth with the words
"Hoohaw" emblazoned across its side.
If not the answer, was that the question? Was that what
this artist's carnival was all about - God-seeking fools
reaching out into the void, or was it Micheline echoing through
my brain, "These are good times, man, don't ask those kind of
questions, just go down there and be part of it! Enjoy!"
But even Krassner, on stage, was flapping his arms like a
bird to test reality. He said that if he flies, he is dreaming,
he is aboard the great LSD rollercoaster before he enters the
amusement park. And what is the reality check for the
reporter. The question - and the answer.
"What's the difference in feeling between 1967 and
1977?" I asked Allen Ginsberg.
"It's mellower now," he answered, not embarrassed to use
a stock phrase. "The cloud of egotistical angriness has been
dispeled, the hysteria is gone now. The '60s had some
beautiful things but it also was entangled in aggression, the
'Kill the Pigs' thing. There was too much feeling like we were
at the edge of the apocalypse. People are looking for clarity
now.
"This is a communal gathering here, something that was
talked about in the '60s but rarely happened," Ginsberg said,
gazing at the crowd now swinging to a jazzy tune of Rashaan
Roland Kirk. "We're exploring consciousness so much now
that it's almost becoming ordinary."
And yet there was subdued quality to Mac Court that
Saturday. To use a horrible word, it had an "adult" feeling to
it. Krassner noticed it, too.
"This is a time of lost innocence," he said with an impish
smile. "All these people grew up with Kent State as memories.
These people were weaned on Watergate - they're not
fooled as easy anymore."
The crowd would prove Krassner a prophet moments later.
48·hoohaw
Its tactics would not be defended by civil libertarians but its
consciousness could not be faulted. A San Francisco poet
named Floyd Salas read a poem which featured as its climax
the repetition of the line, "Pussy, Pussy, Pussy," hurled out
at the crowd like a challenge. Immediately, people booed,
hissed and screamed; no need to know which way the wind
was blowing.
"In the lonely flight, they came with words," read one poet.
By midnight people were leaning back, relaxing in a kind of
poetic stupor. The cameras had stopped clicking for the most
part, the reporters had stopped asking questions off-stage.
Cleaver and Leary had canceled their appearanced, but
Allen Ginsberg was still left. He read a long poem, one that
sounded nice to the ear, but ran a bit too fast. And then he
began a musical chant:
"Sit down when you sit down/Breathe when you breathe/
Look when you look."
The words were simple, even silly. But they glowed through
all this hoopla, the hoopla that Tomas Fuentes had said was as
needed as the stained glass windows in churches. "You need a
certain amount of flashiness to get people inside the main
event," he noted.
But here was the simple power of Ginsberg putting people
at ease. As he repeated the chant over and over again, the
crowd took up the cue and responded:
"Sit down when you sit down/Breathe when you breathe/
Smell what you smell/Hear what you hear."
The words filtered through the huge gymnasium but they
did not really matter. It was more that people were sharing
voices. And as the voice of the crowd grew stronger in
response, I found myself sitting back, putting the notebook
away, even singing:
"Sit down when you sit down/Lay down when you lay
down/Die when you die." By Nick Gallo
ASUO
A day in the life
For the Oliver administration, there were ups and downs:
Television broadcasts - ASUO took the issues to the tube
with a series of talk shows based on current, provocative
student and community issues. Teleprompter KOZY-TV
joined with the ASUO and the University's Division of
Broadcast Services. The series survived despite a frakas over
support of the United Farm Workers (vs. Gallo).
Homecoming "revival" - The first annual "Homecoming
Person" competition attracted five applicants before a blue
ribbon panel of judges. Competition was based on an
observable sense of humor, a proportionately developed
talent, an appropriate understanding of the "duck spirit,"
and an ability to communicate with "some" people. On the
strength of their impersonations of the "typical Oregon
football fan," SUAB chairer Andrea Gellatly and IFC chairer
Gary Feldman were announced the first Homecoming Persons
at the Stanford-Oregon football game.
Lobbying efforts - The ASUO made positive strides in
the areas of lowering tuition, increasing financial aid eligibility,
legislating child care aid for students, removing barriers to
non-traditional students, publishing consumer-like guides to
course offerings, and effecting student advocacy. Not so
positively supported in the end were collective bargaining
for students, publication of faculty-course evaluations, and
tuition voucher systems.
Campaign rumblings and bumblings - Candidate Craig
Geary lost his bid for ASUO President in the primary round,
but somehow that didn't convince Geary. After the ASUO
Elections Board barred Geary and supporters from interfering
with voting at election booths (Geary's supporters threatened
to persuade students to bend their ballots Geary began a
write-in campaign. That ploy was also declared illegal, though
Geary did net 216 non-counting votes. And it was fraternities
against the world when an endorsement of candidate Dave
Tyler by the Interfraternity Council Elections Board solicited
responses of racism and prejudice from minority group
leaders. The endorsement letter pointed out the two
candidates' Incidental Fee Committee voting records,
emphasizing Tyler's record of decreasing minority program
money and increasing Greek funding.
Women's Symposium - Oliver's personal triumph was a
week in April filled with films, workshops, dance, drama,
music, speakers, art exhibits, and poetry all in celebration of
women. Various noted women were brought to campus:
Malvina Reynolds, author M.F. Beale, Randy from COYOTE,
a union for prostitutes; Barbara Ehrenreich, Margaret Sloan,
and several prominent local women including Rep. Nancie
Faceley and theater producer Randi Douglas. Workshop
Topics included women and sexuality, planned parenthood,
nutrition, parenting, women and politics, psychic healing/
shamanism, women and sports, women and aging, sexism
and racism, a feminist perspective on belly dancing, women in
science and other professions, poetry, natural childbirth,
rape, women and the justice system, and self-hypnOSiS.

With tuition up and enrollment down, an

Ford's son Steve.
Perhaps disgruntled by the housing squeeze
or the annual autumnal battle for athletic
passes, students vented hostilities in bottle-
throwing at Autzen Stadium, shifting concern
about crowd control from Kamikaze to

Candidates swarming the campus and the

National election campaigns came to a full
boil, but students showed a marked lack of
interest in campus politics. A mere 5.4 per
cent of the student body voted in the ASUO
general elections.
Hoping for more than such scant interest,
several well-known figures appeared in
Oregon. Eugene McCarthy and Jeff Carter
both visited Eugene, and Ronnie Lee returned
to Mac Court, playing for the Phoenix Suns.
Carter's edge over Ford narrowed in the final
weeks of the campaign, and Earl Butz's verbal
indiscretions precipitated his resignation
as Secretary of Agriculture.
The 1977 Old Farmer's Almanac predicted
a cold, bitter winter east of the Mississippi,
with dust storms, drought and ruined crops
elsewhere. Taking its cue from dry spell
predictions, the OLCC began a crackdown on
campus keggers.
Bikers sped along newly-created Alder
Street bikeways, which left Alder a one-way
street going south, much to drivers'
confusion. On the heels of the final skirmish
for remaining Mac Court students seats, the
basketballers began practice, and John
Erlichman began his sentence at an Arizona
prison.
The month ended on a light note, with the
appearance of "Mary Hartman, Mary

weekend Halloween parties spreading from
Greeks to local taverns and the Eugene Hotel.

Gay Pride Week stimulated gay awareness,
and in the non-sexist spirit, two Homecoming

presented at the Stanford game.
Elvis Presley appeared on campus in two
sell-out performances for Athletic

tigers at half-time didn't save football season,
and Don Read was fired after three years as
head football coach.
Moving to winter sports, the Kamikaze Kids
beat Athletes in Action to lift pre-season

Rabid basketball fans, however, opted for

again no invitation to the NCAA playoffs. But
the Ducks made it through a NIT shoot-out with
Oral Roberts University to give Greg Ballard a

One Oregon sport did come out on top. The
Flying Ducks gymnastic team finally upset
USC to win the Pac-8 championship.
Energy remained a crucial issue on the
national scene. Pres. Carter proposed an
energy department, and cultivated public

66-the time of your life
The Time of Your Life
by William Saroyan
Directed by Horace Robinson
The inaugural production of both
the 1976-77 University Theatre
season, and of the newly renovated
Robinson Theatre was directed by
Professor Emeritus Horace Robinson,
the theater's namesake. The production
sold out to delighted audiences as
Robinson brought the most out of his
cast of former and present students to
provide a smooth, polished
evening of theater.
The play took the audience back to
1939 and kept them there until the
final moment. Jerry Williams' San
Francisco bar setting was magnificent
in every detail, from brass railing to
spitoon. Mimi Mace's costumes were
muted and without "over-
periodification. "
Among Robinson's former students
in the cast was George Lauris who
carried the show as Joe, the man whose
life changed those around him and
whose life is in turn changed. Also a
former student was Faber DeChaine
who stole the show as Kit Carson
the irreverent old coot with an
outrageous story for every occasion.
Quadruply cast in the part of
Mary L. were Sandra Pearson, Marge
Ramey, Barbara Chatas Laue, and
Priscilla Lauris, Ramey played the
same part in the 1945 University
Theatre production of The Time of
Your Life, with which was also directed
professor Robinson. Among other
former students, fine character acting
was displayed by Robert Winstead as
the Arab, and Gerda Brown as the
Society Lady.
Present students of the University
playing major roles were Susan Mason
as Kitty Duval, the classic prostitute
who dreams of her past, Jeff Bingham
as Joe's loyal sidekick Tom, and Bill
Burger as Nick the bartender. By

Toad of Toad Hall
by A. A. Milne
Directed by Mimi Mace
The second major production of the
season was aimed at children, with the
idea of establishing an annual
children's show in December. While
there were problems with this first
production, the Eugene School District
4J approved, and the tradition was
established.
Though only an hour and a half long,
the show seemed to lack "get up and
go." Mimi Mace's murky direction
allowed the show to drag. The show
was critically panned, but the children
seemed to enjoy it tremendously (and
they, after all, were the real critics).
The set by Phil Grisier was imaginative
and well-executed, and Jerry William's
animal costumes were a joy to behold,
ranging from owls and badgers to
stoats and weasels.
Richard Stretz as the Water Rat gave
an outstanding performance, full of
much-needed vitality and energy. By

Macbeth
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Faver DeChaine
What do you do when your lead
actor is slashed in a sword fight -
onstage - and there are four
performances to go? This is exactly
what occurred in the University
Theatre production of Macbeth.
Before the incident, John Descutner
gave a fine performance as Macbeth,
bringing a high degree of quality to the
show. However, in the Wednesday
performance, Descutner was slashed
in the foot during his battle with
Macduff, and was unable to go on for
the rest of the week. Robert Burchess
valiantly read the part from a script
for four performances.
Macbeth proved to be a difficult
show for a college theater to stage.
DeChaine's production became
tedious and had some oddly funny
moments which should have been
nothing but tragic. The double casting
of Susan Mason and Ellen Dennis as
Laby Macbeth prOVided two nice
performances, and the witches (Jo
Leslie Collier, Jane Leighton, Amy
Chartoff and Nancy Julian) consistently
got good responses.
Set designer Jerry Williams provided
an odd combination of Scottish crags,
a stairway, and interior wettings.

The Roar of the Greasepaint-The
Smell of the Crowd
by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse
Directed by Dale Hearth
A new policy regarding studio
productions (essentially, those which
are student-produced) was put into
effect by the University Theatre. The
policy included lower prices for all and
free admission for students. The
razzmatazz musical, Roar of the
Greasepaint, was the first studio show
of the season.
Director Dale Hearth, who also
72-roar of the grease paint
designed the set, did well by the
Newley-Bricusse musical. The high
energy level and fine acting were a
direct result of Hearth's efforts. The
show sold out four of its five
performances. However, a few
uneven spots during the show were
evident.
Sophomore Rick Harris gave an
excellent performance as Sir, the man
who has everything and wins everything.
Freshman Mark St. Amant as Cocky,
the man who always Ipses and has
nothing, performed quite well in the
difficult Newley role, with exceptional
characterizations in both parts. Also
featured was Nancy Hills, as the Kid,
giving a sassy performance.
The 22-piece pit orchestra
performed well if a bit loudly at times.
Larry Sutton's choreography, of out
-and-out vaudeville style, was
well-appreciated by the audience. Ellen
Dennis' costumes were vivid and
outlandish, and well-complemented by
Chester Goyett's colorful lighting. By
Bruce McDonald

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
by Jay Presson Alan
Directed by Thomas Gressler
At the second intermission I was
asked by a friend, surprised by my
uncharacteristic silence, whether I was
tired. After a moment's reflection I
replied. "No. Just very involved."
This production demands and received
total involvement.
A victorian Scottish girl's school
beautifully designed provided the
setting. The lighting was subtle and
effective, particularly in the convent
scenes. Some inconsistencies in
costuming were disturbing, such as
saddle shoes with a British school
uniform, but seldom detracted from
the play's quality. Jan Powell as Miss
Jean Brodie did a creditable job. She
was at her most effective as the
broken spinster, fired from the school.
Among the highlights were a scene in
74-the prime of miss jean brodie
which the girls talk about sex
(frighteningly realistic and very funny),
the singing of "Comin' through the
Rye," and particulary the scene in
which Sandy models nude for Teddy.
Gressler and his cast sent me out
considerably more contemplative than
when I went in. By Helen Robinson

Mother Courage and Her Children
by Bertolt Brecht
Directed by Lowell Fiet
Anna Fierling, (played by Freddie
Jenkins), Bertolt Brecht's indomitable
Mother Courage, came blaringly to
life in the Pocket Theatre - and it's
definitely a didactic experience. With
her barrage of dubious morals and
common sense axioms she is a character
worth reflecting on in these days of
David and Goliath struggles with
corporate rationalizations of necessary
woes.
On the whole the staging was
effective. One the one hand there is
the audience trying to follow habit
and slip into the believability that
theater is supposed to offer them -
that this actually is the 17th century
for the next two hours. One the
other hand there are the manipulative
forces of Brecht and director Fiet
jerking one out of that mode of
thinking, or rather accepting, and into
one of stimulated independent
comtemplation. The players applaude
at the end of the play, and it is not for
themselves; it is for the audience,
an active ingredient in the production.
The production was a solid one;
everywhere there exuded the feeling
that this is what Brecht wanted and
accord is such as agreeable
atmosphere. By Cheryl Rudert

A Streetcar Named Desire
by Tennessee Williams
Directed by Edward Chamers
The sell-out production of A
Streetcar Named Desire brought the
neurotic world of Blanche DuBois and
the beer-and-poker world of Stanley
Kowalski into violent conflict and
drastic resolution. And the intimate
Arena Theatre put the intense drama
before the audience's very eyes,
making them eavesdroppers on the
Elysian Fields battleground.
The production lasted three hours,
but it didn't seem that long, thanks to
the excellent acting performances.
Carol Baker, as Blanche DuBois, was
particularly good, capturing the dialect
and mannerisms well. Her own
youthfulness made it difficult to
portray the faded but genteel Southern
Belle neuroticism inherent in Williams'
works. Bill Geisslinger overcame the
Marlon Brando image and gave a
stunning portrayal - without
mumbling - of the rough Stanley.
Rebecca Webb took over the part of
Stella a week before opening and still
managed to do a good job.
Nancy Hills' tawdry set, complete
with electric fan and naked lightbulbs,
was well-designed, and her costumes
were straight from 1947, with
Blanche's "dellarobia blue" a
standout. By Bruce McDonald

The ASUO Executive is the oldest
of all ASUO institutions. It is organized
to give equal weight to all the ASUO
programs; it is no more or less
important than these programs, other
than it is responsible for administering
them. It houses their complaints and
promotes fair treatment to each
during budget considerations.
The Executive is also responsible to
oversee the many facets of student
government. Through its counsel and
defense it maintains an effective
voice in University Governance, and
has made vast strides toward
professional student advocacy.
ASUO Pres. Jan Oliver led a strong
administration in lobbying,
communication with students at large,
and several major projects, some
continuations of previous
administrations, some Oliver's own,
such as the Women's Symposium.
Mark Cogan, vice-president for
state and local affairs, led the legislative
efforts. Issues Cogan and his staff
worked with included the transferability
of credit within state schools, public
release of student course evaluations,
establishment of a collective bargaining
agent to represent student negotiations
with University administration, creation
of tax credits for University students or
their parents, extension of the
Landlord-Tenant Act to prevent
discrimination in housing against
students, establishment of a tuition
voucher system whereby state
allotments for higher education
would be made directly to students
rather than to institutions, the creation
of a requirement that state subsidized
colleges and universities provide
students with a binding contract
98-asuQ executive
detailing provisions of the school they
attend.
Jamie Burns, vice-president for
administration and finance, held a
powerful position as far as may ASUO
programs were concerned. Burns'
job entailed investigating the budget
of each ASUO program and recommend
revisions based on his findings, to the
Incidental Fee Committee. He also
managed ASUO elections, ran the
athletic ticket lottery, monitored the
hiring practices of ASUO programs,
and assumed Oliver's position in her
absence.
Gary Kim, vice-president for academic
and university affairs, worked with the
lobbying efforts in areas that fell
under his job title. Kim followed issues
that affected students and formed
ASUO stands on topics such as the D-
ASUO Executive
grade, financial aid, Mac Court
scheduling, and releasing course
evaluation results. Kim's office also
directed the Consumer's Course
Guide to Classes.
Tamanika Ivie and Michael Connelly,
vice-presidents for ASUO programs
and community affairs, worked to unify
the ASUO programs and make the
general student community more aware
of those programs.
May 16 saw a new administration
invade the ASUO Executive, that of
new Pres. Gary Feldman, Feldman,
chairer of the Incidental Fee Committee
received 900 votes or 58.6 per cent of
the counting ballots. Feldman outbid
contender Dave Tyler and illegal
write-in contender Craig Geary.
Student University
Affairs Board
According to Andrea Gellatly, the
University is one of the few in the
nation which allows the faculty a
legislative voice on a par with the
university president. Gellatly,
chairperson, and other Student
University Affairs Board (SUAB)
members represent various departments
in the University Senate. The senate,
comprised of the 18 SUAB members
and 36 faculty members, studies
current issues and makes
recommendations to the General
Assembly of faculty and student
representatives. The General Assembly
is empowered to enact legislation on
how the university will operate.
SUAB is funded by the Incidental
Fee Committee, receiving an annual
budget of about $10,000. Members
receive $45 a month to represent their
departmental constituencies, hold
office hours, and sit on advisory
committees which report to Pres.
Boyd or the General Assembly.
Gellatly terms SUAB a bridge
between students and their departments
in university governance.
"We keep an eye out for things that
can be done to improve a student's
education," she says. "SUAB members
know a lot about the University and
who to go to when you have a problem.
We sort out red tape for students all
the time."
Gellatly has been in the vanguard
of some of the more student-oriented
university issues. Her motion to the
University Senate to release course
evaluations failed in the General
Assembly, but the SUAB continued to
lobby the State Legislature through
the Oregon Student Lobby. The
motion was passed by the House, but
died in committee in the Senate.
Other issues the SUAB has been
concerned with have included whether
ROTC should remain on campus and
the reinstatement of the D grade
which will be instituted Fall 1978. But
Gellatly emphasizes that SUAB
members act as individuals.
"We don't take a stand as SUAB,"
she says. "Members are primarily
responsible to their departments and
some motions may be helpful to one
department and harmful to another.
So members have to look out for their
constituency. "
Gellatly is optimistic about the
future of SUAB.
"I think the board has a clearer
picture of its own identity to itself and
to the students," she says. "We've
sort of established ourselves as a
representative body."
The 1976-77 SUAB was comprised
of Braulio Escobar (Law and CSPA),
Andrea Gellatly, (Journalism and
Speech), Kim Defenderfer (Business
Administration), Susan LaFlamme
(Education and Librarianship), Kevin
Ramsey (Health, PE and Recreation),
Lee Scarborough (Biology and Pre-

General Science, Math, Geology and
Chemistry), Ron Bills (Allied Art and

Science and History), Emily Weisensee

and location. The budget committee
conducts extensive hearings on the
different budgets of the EMU areas.
The EMUB's goals are involved in
becoming more and more a
participatory agent in the business of
the EMU. Because the union is
subsidized with over $700,000 in
student money, the board must
continually pursue involvement in all
decision-making activities of the union.
The union performs free services for
students that are actually supported
by student money, so major problems
arise in how much should certain
student services be subsidized.
SEARCH
One of the oldest organizations on
campus is SEARCH, which began in
the turbulent sixties when an alternative
to standard, formal teaching was
sought by many students.
SEARCH today is a student-
initiated, student-run and financed
program which offers almost 200
experimental and innovative classes.
The teachers come from all walks of
life. Most are students, but many are
people who want to share their wisdom
and practical experience, according to
Ruyle Spiller, director.
All SEARCH classes carry regular
credit, both upper and lower division.
However, they offer only elective
credit and do not fulfill group
requirements for the University.
Most of the classes taught give
students practical skills related to
their majors, like "SWimming
Instruction for the Handicapped" for
PE majors, "Sign Language" for
education majors and "Workshop in
Portraiture" for art majors, to name
just a select few.
SEARCH also offers a variety of
classes on subjects relevant to today
and just interesting to take. These
range from "Beginning Judo" to
"Homemade Houses" to "Oregon's
Wildlands."
SEARCH provides alternatives and
experimentation in education at the
University and offers new methods of
presenting traditional material.

Drug Information Center
l02-drug information center
The Drug Information Center (DIC)
celebrated its fifth year of service
estimating nearly 70,000 persons
have been assisted during the past
five years, said Mark Miller, chairer
of the DlC board of directors.
What started as an information
pamphlet project of Miller's has now
grown to be a part of the University
health education department. The
center provides drug information to
persons and agencies across the state
and is a member of the national Drug
Abuse Communications Network
(DRACON).
Individual referral or information
is given out by phone, 686-5411, or
to walk-ins from the DlC files and
library. The center also boasts
anonymous drug analysis through a
California laboratory.
Federal information is distributed
by the center. University students and
county residents have free, immediate
access to three federal computer
information services. DIC staff speak
at various community groups and
schools. They also assist Eugene police
in identification of current drugs and
ways to treat people misusing drugs.
The DIC began a program in October
of issuing medical cards to Health 150
and 250 (required courses) students.
The card contained spaces to list
weight, blood type, known drug
sensitivities, allergies, special medical
conditions, drug use record, and the
name of a physician and pharmacy.
Miller said the cards were issued to
the health classes because if the DlC
continued the program all University
students would eventually obtain one.
The first survey of student drug use
was initiated by the DIC and the Ad
Hoc Committee for Alcohol Education
Activities. Issued in January to some
4,500 randomly selected students,
1,289 surveys were returned. Alcohol,
caffeine and marijuana were the three
drugs preferred most by students.
Further analysis of the surveys were
made for possible use in health courses
and other drug education projects.
The survey asked for preference for
10 drugs and user frequency. Alcohol
was most preferred followed by
caffeine and marijuana. Barbituates,
herion, tranquilizers and nicotine were
rated least preferred.
International Education Center
The International Education Center
is a student-oriented travel service, a
reference center for information on
places all over the world, and offers a
domestic exchange program.
Most international travel needs can
be taken care of by the IEC staff. Also
students are given recommendations
on what to take, what to expect, and
places of out-of-the-ordinary interest.
Students are eligible for several
special rates when traveling through
foreign countries. The IEC keeps an
up-to-date system of information on
these rates.
The National Student Exchange is a
nationwide program designed to give
students a chance to study for up to
one year at another college in the
United States. An average of 100
students take advantage of this
program and about as many travel to
Oregon from around the country.

Office of Student Advocacy
The Office of Student Advocacy
(OSA) expanded into several new
areas, including a larger office in the
EMU basement. Need an advocate?
Step in, fill out a card with your name,
address, year in school and the nature
of your complaint. Cards are later
categorized, allowing OSA to identify
areas in the University that are
bothersome to students.
Next director Don Chalmers
completes an intake sheet detailing
the nature of your complaint. Both
card and sheet are dated initially in
order that the office determine the
time it takes to receive an answer from
a department or committee. Most
complaints are dealt with in two to
three days. Complaints are processed
the same day they are filed.
The OSA has four divisions with
Chalmers as director. The director's
duties include providing the ASUO
with requested reports,
recommendations and working papers;
appearing before public and private
groups on behalf of the ASUO at the
request of the ASUO President;
negotiating and discussing issues of
concern to the ASUO at the request of
the ASUO President; and arguing on
behalf of students before public
administrative bodies in cases of
unlawful discrimination, abuse of
discretion, mistreatment,
misclassification, and other
fundamentally unfair practices.
The Legal Services Division (LSD)
has two full-time attorneys and four
legal assistants. LSD informs students
of their options while explaining court
procedures. The attorneys may help
students until the trial stage of the
104-office of student advocacy
complaint, but cannot take part in the
actual trial. Therefore LSD has a
referral service to locate an attorney
with some expertise in specific areas
of conflict. LSD also helps students
organize non-profit corporations.
The Research and Development
Division (ROD) and the Legal Research
Pool handles research and
corresponding advice. The ROD
primarily serves large groups of
students or the ASUO itself. Three
law clerks provide research for more
individualized cases in the Pool. They
report their findings to Chalmers, who
reviews the facts before deciding on
further support for the particular
student.
The OSA also has an ombudsman
service available to students for dealing
with administrative policy and
residency review. This service provides
advice on county, city, state, federal or
college administration problems.
Chalmers and the OSA were involved
in support of the Buckley Amendment
during fall term. The law protects the
privacy of student educational records
by guaranteeing three rights to
students. These include the right to
keep a student's records confidential,
the right to check the adequacy and
accuracy of the records and the right
to annually notify the University that
certain directory information shall not
be released to the public. Chalmers
and University vice-president for
student affairs Gerald Bogen met at
odds on the law with Bogen at one
time calling ofr its repeal.
"Privacy ought to supersede
administrative costs," said Chalmers.
"Students have the capacity to
choose whether they want to keep
their educational records confidential."
The University Housing Office's
policy of renting its Amazon and
Westmoreland apartments only to
married students or single parent
families met with an OSA challenge of
discrimination. Though an opinion by
Atty. Gen. Lee Johnson upheld the
Housing Office's stand, the OSA
continued to challenge the policy.
"Our argument is simple. It is
unreasonable to differentiate on the
basis of marital status when a better
classification (low income) is available,"
Chalmers explained.
A major project for the University
and involving the OSA was revisions
of the Student Conduct Code. An
appointed adhoc committee set open
hearings on proposed changes. Those
included significant changes in the
disposition of cases, allowing students
more options. After students are
notified of alleged conduct code
violations and informed of their
rights, they have a choice between a
conference with the conduct code
coordinator, an informal hearing by a
referee or a formal hearing officer.
The proposed code also takes a new
approach to hearings. Formerly,
hearings were closed at the wish of the
student defendant, now, the hearing
may be closed at the request of the
defendant or University, but only with
good cause. The Student Conduct
Court would be abolished in the new
code, and would be replaced by the
options of administrative resolution,
counseling, informal referee hearing
and formal APA hearings for the
accused student. The University
Appeals Board would remain the final
level of appeal within the Student
Conduct Program. The new code
received approval near the end of
spring term.
An OSA funded project surveyed a
random sample of students, measuring
their awareness and practical use of
four pieces of federal legislation. The
report, "Impact of Federal Legislation
on the Higher Education Experience,"
revealed that many students are well-
informed of their rights, yet fail to use
the knowledge practically to uphold
their rights in everyday situations.
Students were qUizzed on their
knowledge of laws prohibiting
discrimination, as well as awareness of
campus facilities for assistance in
redressing grievances. The Buckley
Amendment, knowledge of Title IX
and another law prohibiting
discrimination because of physical
handicaps in programs receiving federal
assistance, and awareness of a new
federal law prohibiting default of
student loans were other data collected.
Of 122 students, the highest
"awareness level" was in sex
discrimination, which 75 per cent of
the students knew was prohibited by
federal law. Nearly as many students
said they knew of instances of
discrimination based on physical
handicap. Over 40 per cent were
aware of the Buckley Amendment
while only a fourth of the students had
any knowledge of the law prohibiting
students with financial aid obligations
from declaring bankruptcy.

Child Care And
Development
Center
The University Child Care and
Development Center (CCDC) is an
independent, parent-oriented agency
cooperating with the academic
community. As an EMU program since
1973 CCDC has been committed to a
positive and stimulating environment
for children where they can grow up
relatively free of the racial, sexual, and
competitive stereotypes of our society.
CCDC makes it possible for about
150 parents to attend the University as
well as participating in the education
of 200 more students through GTF
positions.
Parents and staff members sold
Duck Dope coupon books as the
beginning of a fund raising effort to
ensure support for the center. A need
for alternative child care was found by
survey and CCDC attempted to form a
cooperative to allow parents to trade
services without exchanging money.
Parents were also involved in CCDC's
lobby effort for House Bill 2459 -
the $3.65 million student parent day
care bill.
l06·child care development center /emu child care
EMU Child Care
The EMU Child Care Center, also
an EMU program, expanded its services
to handle twice the number of children
previously. Acting on an Affirmative
Action recommendation, the center
raised the maximum of children handled
each night from six to 12 fall term.
Age restrictions were also changed to
include children from 12 to 20 months.
The center strives for quality care
and has several special interest areas
within one room. With several services
to offer, the center's care prices still
remain low. Unlike CCDC, the EMU
Center accepts children on an hourly
basis, said director Edd Casto.
Gerontology Association
Gerontology is the study of the aged
and the aging process.
The Gerontology Association,
headed by Mike Tkachuk, is a student
organization whose purpose is to
promote the field of gerontology
through the presentation of workshops,
lectures, films, and guest speakers
both on campus and in the community,
and to promote student interest in the
field of gerontology. The association
is composed of approximately 45
people, primarily students, but senior
citizens and staff members also comprise
its membership.
The association provides an
information and referral service for
people interested in gerontology.
Also, students traveling to gerontology
conferences receive travel stipends
from the association.
During the presidential election,
students provided transportation for
those senior citizens unable to make it
to the polls on their own.
During winter term, the association
sponsored "Senior Appreciation
Week," in which elder artisans {such
as rug crafters, ceramics makers, and
wood workers} displayed their crafts
and revealed some of the trade secrets
they'd learned over the years.
Over spring break, the association
sent 17 students to a gerontology
conference in Denver, Colo.
A panel discussion in widowhood
was held during spring term. The panel
included two widows and a widower,
and it was moderated by Hazel Foss,
the director of Widowed Services.
They discussed topics like how to cope
with the death of your spouse and the
problems widows and widowers face
adjusting to being single once again.
Classes offered by the association
each year include "Sexuality and
Aging", "Life Planning for the Mature
Women," "Mental Health and Aging,"
and "Confrontations of Death."
Ultimately, the association hopes to
develop a strong, healthy inter·
generational relationship between
university students, senior citizens, and
the community concerning further
developments in the field of
gerontology.
The Gerontology Association offers
students the opportunity to gain
experience working with senior
citizens and with other people in
planning programs. Tkachuk says
since the program's inception four
years ago, it has quadrupled in size and
will continue to grow. He also says
gerontology is a new and exciting field
providing a variety of job opportunities
in the social services.

When most students hear "Student
Projects, Inc." they think "oh, yeah -
the Footnote people." Footnotes are
the major part of SPI which is the only
ASUO program that is completely
self-supporting and receives no money
from the Incidental Fee Committee.
In 1967, Arthur Flemming, then
president of the University, with
SPl's help, began publishing course
and professor evaluations. Footnotes
were begun to supplement the cost of
putting out the evaluations.
Eventually, SPI was involved in legal
action and decided to drop the
evaluations. Footnotes hung on,
though.
SPI has also sponsored a marketing
class and a book exchange. The
founding of the Food-Op and the
revival of the Oregana came about as a
result of research done by the
marketing class.
The eventual goal of SPI is to
replace incidental fees with
corporate money that results from
profits made by SPI activities.
SPI is a private corporation that
provides student jobs and services. It
is also a vehicle for ideas, and is
always open to new ideas.

"We want to let them know they're
not the only gay person on campus.
We have it so people won't go through
the mental torture of thinking they're

Educating straight people about
homosexuality is the group's second
goal, she said.
"Besides gays, it's the people who
feel the most antagonistic that we're
trying to reach," she said. "We're
trying to educate them that we're just
like they are that we're not sick."
Panel discussions in health,
psychology and sociology classes were
the primary tactic, Mize said. The GPA

for information on gays.
"A big emphasis in the office is

the group made any progress is a

said.
Publicity was what the GPA was
after, not only in the kissing booth,
but also in its more serious activities
Gay Pride Week, for example.
Gay Pride Week, held in November,
brought poet Robert Duncan to campus
for a public reading of his poems
dealing with homesexuality. A panel

Native American
Student Union
The Native American Student Union
is an ASUO sponsored program with
both Indian and non-Indian members.
Their major concerns cover a very
broad spectrum, ranging from national
state, and University Indian affairs
involving cultural, political and social
activities.
A core membership of approximately
25 people plan and organize various
NASU events. Their major cultural
event was the Multi-Cultural Historical
Symposium, presented jointly by
NASU, BSU, AASU and MECHA.
Held in February, the symposium was
a week-long diverse mixture of
different cultures presenting such
various entertainment as poetry, art
11O-native american student union
shows, speakers and drama.
The largest event promoted by
NASU was the ninth annual Pow-wow
held in May. This activity drew eight
different Indian drum groups as well as
countless Indian dancers representing
tribes from throughout the United
States and Canada. The Pow-wow was
a huge success in terms of attendance
because, says director Roberta
Conners, of the large number of
participants and the even larger number
of spectators.
The NASU also invited special
guest speakers to talk on different
areas of Indian affairs. Rupert Costo,
president of the American Indian
Historical Society, spoke during the
symposium. In May, Vine Deloria, Jr.,
eminent Indian author and lawyer,
spoke at the law school on the future
of Indian law in the United States.
One of the largest and perhaps the
most significant accomplishments for
NASU was its involvement in the
planning and passing (of both the
General Assembly and the Faculty
Senate) of a Minority Education
Council for the University.
Says Connors, "One of NASU's
most important functions is to be a
contact and resource organization for
student, faculty, or anyone wishing to
learn more about Indian concerns and
activities. We welcome anyone to com
in and use our resources anytime."

Alert
"I consider myself a man with a
mission," says Bob Blizzard, director
of Alert. His mission is two-fold: to
create public awareness of the plight
of the physically disabled student and
to help that student realize his/her
own potential for his/her own self-
reliance.
Considered legally blind, Blizzard
does not think of his impairment as a
handicap, but more of an inconvenience.
This attitude surfaces in the programs
initiated since his appointment as
director. For the benefit of both
handicapped and non-handicapped
students a speaker's forum was begun.
Each speaker, some disabled, but all
with an expertise on the handicapped,
gave knowledge and insight on a
particular aspect of what the
handicapped encounter from day to
day. Also started was a new student
week for the handicapped in which
disabled students were taken around
campus and shows where accessible
features could be found.
Continued, but much improved, was
Awareness Week. Working with the
theme, "What do the handicapped
do?", Alert displayed the creativity
of handicapped persons' arts and
crafts, held affirmative action
workshops, and provided entertainment
through the National Theater for the
Deaf and wheelchair basketball
teams.
In April, Alert members occupied an
office in the State Services Building in
downtown Eugene. The sit-in was
staged to protest the lack of action in
implementing the Vocational
Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The delay
was due to Health, Education and
Welfare Secretary Joseph Califano's
failure to sign the regulations.
About 10 handicapped people sat
in the office demanding Califano sign
the regulations, giving handicapped
persons equal opportunity in
employment and education at schools
and businesses that are federally
funded. The sit-in ended after almost
three weeks when Califano signed the
regulations that had been neglected
"due to the presidential campaign."
Alert works with the disabled
person to help him/her eliminate
architectural, educational and
sociological barriers in obtaining
individual independence.
Says Blizzard, "It is my belief that
the handicapped can achieve
independence and equality only by
knowing who they are, what they want,
and with the commitment that they
will never go back to who they were."

MEChA
Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de
Atzlan (MEChA) is a student organization
geared for the needs of Chicano and
Spanish-surnamed people.
MEChA provides resources (such as
educational opportunities) that would
otherwise not be readily available to
the Chicano and Spanish-surnamed
student. MEChA is also an access to
job openings specifically designed for
bilingual or Chicano people. For the
Chicano student, MEChA serves as a
vehicle to orient himself with the
University.
For the staff, working with the
administration enqbles MEChA
employes to get acquainted with the
aspects of running a business.
In addition to sponsoring discos and
participating in the Multi-Cultural
Historical Symposium with other
student unions, MEChA also sponsored
"Que PASA, RAZA?" - the sharing
of information through such events as
workshops and guest speakers who
talked on various subjects as "The
Chicano in Law," and "Health and
Social Services in Chicano
communities." The theme of the event
was "The View of Chicanos in Higher
Education in 1980."
Held for the fifth year was "Cinco
do Mayo," or the Fifth of May. This
event is celebrated by the Mexican
people to commemorate their liberation
from the French. MEChA celebrates
it as a remembrance of the link to
their Chicano ancestry and the rebirth
of the Mexican people.
Because of the large turn-out for
the dance with a contemporary Latin
band, a Mexican dinner, a fashion
show and a Mexican folk dance troupe,
as well as the wandering Latin minstrels,
Cinco de Mayo was considered a
success, even though MEChA went into
debt. Cinco de Mayo is felt by MEChA
to share the Chicano culture with
the University and the community.

Fundraising and celebrating kept
the members and staff of the Black
Student Union quite busy. Workshops
were begun and included such subjects
as career alternatives and choosing a

created Friday open discussion sessions
with faculty members and black
students.
Several benefit concerts were staged
to raise funds toward sending a
University student to the Second
World Black and African Art and
Cultural Festival in January. The
theme of the Festival, held in Nigeria,
was FESTAC '77.
February, Black History Month,
brought a new event to campus. The
Multi-Cultural Historical Symposium
was an outgrowth of plans to celebrate
Black History Month. "We would
have had a hard time coming up with
activities for the whole month," said
Melson, who originally suggested the
week. "I extended it to the other
unions on campus so that we could all
benefit from the experience."
Ralph Dawson, associate professor
in counseling and testing at California
State, Los Angeles, spoke on "The
Ethnic Student in Higher Education:
Strategies for Survival." Roscoe
Leonard, historian and assistant dean
of the Southern University graduate
school, gave an address on "Roots of
Black Americans."
More celebration occurred in May
as the Fifth Annual Black Arts Festival
featured the theme "Putting Forth
Excellence through Black Images." A
slide presentation of student Lionel
Riley's trip to FESTAC '77 opened the
festivities. A black art exhibit, African
braiding and makeup demonstrations,
black poet Keith Jefferson, black
mime artist Hayward Coleman, a slide
lecture by Dr. Quintard Taylor on
"Black Communities in the Northwest:
Portland and Seattle," and a Creole
gumbo dinner completed the event.
During observance of African
Liberation Day, BSU members sent
material aid to black refugees and
progressive groups in Southern
Africa in the form of clothing, blankets,
bedding and other items.

Five-hundred people visited the
tropical beaches of the EMU Ballroom
one night in April, as the Hawaii Club
presented "An Evening in the Islands."
The luau, back for a second year,
featured island dancing and food,
including chicken long rice, kalua pig,
lomi lomi salmon, cucumber salad,
haupia (coconut pudding), yams and
the traditional Hawaiian staple, poi.
Hulus made up a large portion of
the entertainment, although several
dances from Tahiti, New Zealand and
Bora Bora added spice to the program.
A dance with "Maori poi balls," balls
on long cords, astounded the audience
and brought appreciative applause.
Reaction to the entertainment was
excellent, and the food, new to many
Eugene palates, was warmly received,
although the poi brought mixed
responses. Some tasters compared it to
wallpaper paste; others were less
enthusiastic.
Hawaii Club
Hawaii Club members began
organizing the luau in October, looking
for talent for the entertainment.
Weekly practices began in January.
Even with all the advance preparation,
however, organizers were in a rush the
last week, when the authentic
decorations and ingredients arrived
from Hawaii.
Due to a misunderstanding with a
printer, Gerald Kajiwara, president of
the club, found himself signing 500
programs by hand the day of the show.
"It was getting kind of messy at the
end," he said.
In addition to the luau, the club put
on smaller shows for civic groups and
nursing homes and served as a cultural
center for Hawaiian students.
"A lot of the kids are on the
(domestic) exchange program, so it's
kind of like an orientation group for
them," Kajiwara said.

FEA Frasority
"Friends may come and friends may
go/And friends may peter out, you
know;/But we'll be friends through
thick and thin - /Peter out and peter
. "In.
This is the motto of the FEA
Frasority. Just what exactly is a FEA
Frasority, you ask? Well, the frasority
began in 1975 when some students
were visiting at the home of the
Streeters in Portland. They were
discussing the stereotyped fraternity
and sorority images on the University
campus and they suddenly hit upon the
ingenious idea of starting their own
club, a parody of fraternities and
sororities. There were both males and
females in the group, hence the name
frasority.
The frasority has no organized
meetings, no rush and no initiation.
They all get together once a term for
the frasority formal, which is just an

administration, everyone is an equal

The frasority does take one aspect
of their organization more seriously
than others - their intramural
basketball team, which plays fraternities
and does better than you might expect
them to.

Panhellenic is composed of executive
officers and delegates from the
University's 12 sororities. The sorority
women participated in the Greek Week
of Giving fall term where activities
are charity-oriented. Funds raised
were given to United Way, the Lane
County Blood Bank and more than 11
other community groups. The Bunyon
Derby for United Appeal, an eating
contest, Halloween parties and the
Theta Chi car rally were some of the
events in which the women participated.
Panhellenic president Laurie Wood
was elected president of the Western
Regional Panhellenic Council in
April. The council was formed when
sorority women attending the Western
Regional Interfraternity Council
felt the needs of sororities were
not being addressed and moved to
form the new council. Wood's duties
begin in April 1978 and will
concentrate on the needs of the
Panhellenics in the western third of
the United States. She views
Panhellenic as an important part of
the Greek system.

"Our role right now is to bring out
what sororities really are in respect to
the University student Panhellenic
wants to change the image of rich
sorority girls; we would like to dampen
the rumors that flare up that all
sorority girls are rich and five feet two
with blue eyes," she said.
Approximately 175 schools from
five regions will be involved in WRPC,
with five vice-presidents and Wood as
representatives.

Interfraternity Council
The letters to the editor were
innumberable as well as the political
flak surrounding fraternities and
student government positions.
The Interfraternity Council, the
governing body of the University's
fraternities, fought blasts of conspiracy,
racism and hazing, while managing to
sponsor, with Panhellenic, a Greek
Week of Giving and other charity
drives as well as the annual celebration
of Greek Week.
"Rather than celebrate the existence
and survival of our Greek system as a
viable force in the community, the
goal of the Greek Week of Giving will
be to reflect our determination to
meet the obligations such an existence
entails," said Jerry Martens, [C officer.
A blood drive, basketball
competition, and eating contest were
some of the activities that raised $1,000
for United Way, United Appeal,
UN[CEF and several local charities.
The [C Endorsement Board's
methods drew criticism when five of
seven newly elected members to the
Incidental Fee Committee were
members of the Greek system. The
two non-Greeks were however,
endorsed by the [CEB.
The fraternities weren't attempting
a "power play," said Steve Beard,
[CEB member, but student apathy
made it appear that way. The [CEB
printed small white cards with a list of
endorsed candidates and distributed
them to fraternity and sorority houses.
Letters to the editor appeared
daily in the Emerald following an
editorial submitted by the [C titled
"Greeks wrongly stereotyped." The
words flew between condemnation of
the system and ignorance of the
system.
Martens, elected [C chairer in March,
attempted to strengthen the Greek
system's ties with the University and
met with Pres. Boyd. Martens also
definitely reiterated that hazing is not
allowed in initiation rituals now despite
publicity from a new movie that
depicted haZing of the 50s.
ASUO elections only brought more
criticism to the [C when Martens
drafted an open letter to Greeks the
night prior to the elections endorsing
fraternity member Dave Tyler over
another fraternity candidate, Gary
Feldman, in the ASUO presidential
race.
The letter stated: "For the first
time in over 10 years, the president of
the UO student body will be from a
Greek house. It's about time someone
affiliated with the most active, positive
group on campus will act as a
representative for the entire student
body, and not be fearful and hateful
of us. Being a Greek is no longer
something to be ashamed of."
The letter compared IFC voting records
of Feldman and Tyler of minority
programs and Greeks. Basically the
letter said Tyler voted more money to
Greeks and thousands less to
minorities, the opposite of Feldman's
record. The statements brought angry
retorts from minority group leaders,
branding the letter as racist.
Martens stated he had no idea the
reactions the letter would bring. He
had only hoped to point out Tyler's
standing on different levels of funding.
The letter, however, proved Tyler's
demsie as Feldman handily won the
election.

Forensics
The University's forensics program
provides the opportunity for all
University students to develop their
communicative skills in argumentative,
persuasive, and informal speaking
formats through both competitive and
non-competitive forums. The bulk of
the program's money (funded by the
ASUO's Incidental Fee Committee)
is spent in sending speakers to
competitive tournaments in the
Northwest and surrounding states.
The forensics program has a long
and distinguished tradition. The
program began with the University as
its first student organized activity.
From 1968 to 1970 the University's
squad was the National Forensics
Champions.
Forensic members may receive on
credit for participating in three
tournaments. About 30 students
competed, only three of which were
speech majors. The coach is Dr. Gary
Cross. Dale Buckley, forensics director,
was quite pleased with the team's
success as only a few of the 30 students
were returning from the 1976 season.
Team effort and successes are stressed
over individual glories during
competition.
Competition included tournaments
at: Seattle Pacific College, University
of Utah, Pacific Lutheran University,
Boise State University, Western
Washington State College, Lower
Columbia College, Linfield College,
University of Idaho, University of
Nevada at Reno, Willamette University,
San Francisco State University.
The forensics squad hosted a speech
tournament for students from 22
schools in five states in November. The
annual University tournament in
March for junior high and high school
students attracted some 1,500 students
from Oregon, Washington, Nevada,
Idaho, California and Hawaii. The
topic was "Resolved: The development
and the allocation of world energy
resources should be controlled by an
international organization."

Oregon
Daily Emerald
As it celebrated its fifth year of
independence, the campus daily, the
Oregon Daily Emerald, voiced a few
gripes after another year of
controversy. This editorial, entitled
"All we get is abuse," was printed in
March: "Listen, my name is Jack
Wilson, and I'm the editorial page
editor up here at the Emerald. I'm
mad as hell, and I'm not going to take
it anymore.
Yes, I'm talking to you, the guy
who's using the Emerald to keep the
coffee on the Fishbowl table from
getting on your sleeves. And to you,
lady, the one who uses the Emerald
as something to put under your tires
when your car gets stuck in the mud.
I tell you, we get no respect. Does
anyone appreciate the hundreds of
underpaid hours that go into every
issue of the Emerald? Does anyone
realize what a tremendous sacrifice
we make just so you can read the
news every single goddamn day? So
what, you say. Well, who needs you?
I'll bet you never think about poor
Tom Jackson, who at this very moment
is neglecting his schoolwork so that
you chumps can learn about the latest
county commissioners' shakeup. And
what about Heat!: • McClenaghan,
who has to talk to every self-actualizer
and political crank in town?
You can't imagine what a time
Brenda Tabor has trying to fathom the
tangled depths of the ASUO
bureaucracy. You have no ide~ !lOW
hard it is for T jm Wolfe to stay awake
during faculty meetings that are so
boring most faculty members avoid
them like the plague.
Nick Gallo writes the best feature
stores this side of the Long Tom, and
all he gets from you is grief. Mike
McLain and Mary Beth Bowen are
sentenced to six months in Salem just
so that you can get the only genuine
student coverage of the Legislature in
the state
What about E.G. White-Swift?
Have you ever tried reading an
environmental impact statement? And
Lori Peterson. Have you ever tried to
get an administrator to say anything
but 'maybe' to a direct question?
Then there are the management
types, who get no recognition
whatsoever. But without Lora
Cuykendall, Wally Benson and Martha
Bliss there would be no newspaper,
Understand? And I'll bet you've
forgotten Greg Wasson, the boss of
this sweatshop.
Sure, you know all about our graphics
staff, Perry Gaskill and Steve
Sandstrom. You never look at anything
but the pictures anyway, right?
You probably don't care if our
sports editor, Jeff Nielson had nothing
to do but drink himself blind while he
was snowed in at Denver Airport on
his way back from the Oral Roberts
game. Nor do you pity Jeff's sidekick,
Joh" Henderson, who had to stay in
Oregon.
Chances are you don't even know
what the Emerald night desk does.
Well, have you ever tried reading a
newspaper without headlines? How
would you like it if stories just ran right
122·oregon daily emerald
off the bottom of the page? Or if we
spelled your name wrong?
Then there are the real proletarians
of the newspaper business, the
reporters, who labor for little but their
dreams of praise and recognition.
Instead they get abuse.
Speaking of abuse, we get plenty of
complaints about advertisements we
run, but does anyone ever write to tell
us that an ad they saw in the Emerald
made them rush out and buy
something? Our advertising staff has
taken just about all it can stand.
And by the time you've been fast
asleep for hours, not having entertained
a single kind thought about the Emerald
all day, our production staff is
laboriously getting the paper ready to
go to press. When was the last time
you thought about what a nice,
readable typeface we have? When
was the last time you were amazed
that the paper comes out every
morning?
Sometimes I get the feeling we're
not appreciated. Sometimes I think
you've forgotten how much work and
talent go into the Emerald, that is, if
you ever knew at all. Sometimes I
decide you're nothing but a bunch of
ingrates.
That's right, ingrates. I read the
letters that come to us everyday, and
let me tell you, whenever anyone
mentions the Emerald it's only to throw
dirt in our faces. And believe me, if
I don't find space for those letters
pronto, people get nasty.
So we've decided to call it quits.
Let's see how you like living without
having the old ODE to kick around. I
hope you all feel proud of yourselves.
If you ever want to see the Emerald
again you'll have to apologize for your
rotten attitude. Don't bother to call or
write, we'll know if your contrition is
genuine."
Luckily, it was only a threat. The
ODE continued on, and in April
announced Wally Benson as editor for
1977-78.

Oregana
Us: (kneeling) Mark Stewart, photographer; Kathy Avanzino, layout editor; Mike Whitten, activities editor; Susan Hirano, layout staff; Ron Crasilneck,
photographer; Lisa Pollard, layout staff; Sue Ouderkirk, copy staff; Alex Lam, photography editor; (standing) John Iwasaki, copy staff; Martha Crawford,
copy staff and photographer; Jerril Nilson, editor; Gina Parosa, copy staff and photographer; Bev Smith, secretaryjreceptionist; Forrest, photographer.
The staff of the third edition of the
vevived Oregana began with some 50
members as well as new equipment to
produce a record of 1977 at the
University.
During the summer, staff members
"redecorated" their EMU habitat
with a super graphic paint job and
installation of a darkroom. A janitorial
closet adjacent to the office was
returned to its previous status as a
darkroom. Though an overall primitive
setup, a new enlarger and other
equipment enabled Oregana
photographers to develop and print
their film there, rather than renting
other darkroom space, or having a lab
process the film. This also furthered
the Oregana's goal of providing
practical experience to University
students.
Through the combined efforts of
1976 editor Rob Melton, adviser Mary
Hartman and 1977 editor Jerril Nilson,
a SEARCH course was approved by
the journalism school for fall and winter
terms. Taught by Nilson, the class was
entitled, "Creative Yearbooking."
The fall term class attracted about
30 students who were given weekly
assignments and the option to work on
the Oregana staff to utilize the skills
learned in the class. A J407 credit on
a graded or P/NP basis was given.
The second class attracted 20 some
students and was continued with the
same format as the previous term's
class.
The curriculum, though
incorporating several subjects taught
in the journalism school, focused on
how yearbooks are produced, written,
published, etc. Because of the time
demands on the editor, the class was
not continued.
Another tooth-and-nail fight with
the Incidental Fee Committee nearly
yielded some funding for the 1978
staff. However, an Executive veto (for
zero funding) could not be overridden,
and no sympathy was shown by the
President's Office, leaving the Oregana
-with no IFC funding and dissolving its
status as an ASUO organization.
This situation, along with no major
increase in sales, only served to add
to the Oregana's growing debt.
Advertising sales were attempted by
the staff, with no success. Josten's/
American Yearbook Company sent
national representatives to study the
Oregana's situation as part of a
national study of recently re-established
yearbooks.
It was hoped that the debt could be
decreased over the next few years by
holding down expenditures. And again,
no money was available to pay staff
members, except a stipend amount
per month for the editor position.
The 1977 Oregana staff produced a
walth of copy and photographs for
their book, but delays in production
set the publication date back
substantially. And again, the finishing
touches were made by a handful of
staffers. However, the 1977 Oregana
was finally a reality, delivered one
year late.
oregana-125
Erb Memorial Union
In a continuing effort to better its
services to the University community,
the Erb Memorial Union (EMU) brought
in new personnel and new services as
well as maintaining its current services.
New food service manager James
Covington was hired early fall term.
Covington's last tenure at Tarnelton
State University saw that university's
food service program reach an "in the
black" status.
"I don't believe eating is a priority
with students," Covington said. "At
noon they eat quick food, and are on
the run so they don't have time for
three meals."
But making those EMU meals a bit
more enticing to those students on the
run was new food production manager,
Peter Lohr. Lohr brought with him
many original European recipes from
his native Germany where he worked
as a chef. At only 25, Lohr is a veteran
of the rigorous program required to
become a chef in Germany.
Some of the new production
manager's duties include training and
supervising cooks, testing food,
providing new recipes and buying
food. Production for the Skylight and
the Faculty Center are also under
Lohr's direction. The "Meals on
Wheels" program, also a charge of
Lohr's, delivers 140 meals per day to
the elderly in the Eugene-Springfield
area.
Another EMU function gained
popularity - the weekly Friday at 4
- the EMU Beer Garden. In April the
126-erb memorial union
event was expanded from two to three
hours as about $100 profit per week
was being realized. However, the
increase in time saw a sight decrease
in total beer consumption.
"Maybe students drink a little more
leisurely when they know they have
more time," said Hal Smith, EMU
associate director.
The EMU Food Service is responsible
for manning the taps, food and
providing free popcorn. The EMU
Cultural Forum schedules
entertainment. A $10 temporary
license is granted for each garden by
the Oregon Liquor Control Commission.
Smith credited the beer garden's
increased attendance to the fact they
became "pretty regular events."
"We've had no behavioral
problems nor any problems with the
OlCC," he said. "Everyone seems to
enjoy it. Some students have come up
to me and said they've seen faculty
and administrative people whom they
never dreamed they would see there."
EMU Director Adell McMillan
received national recognition in April
when she was chosen vice-president
for committee affairs of the Association
of College Unions International (ACU!).
McMillan's three-year unsalaried term
will consist of coordinating the activities
and functions of the committees in the
900-member ACUI and act as a liaison
between these committees and the
executive decision-making body.
McMillan feels the role of the student
union is important to campus life. "The
union is the center for the out-of-
classroom life of the student and has
the responsibility to provide services
that make student life on campus a
better one," McMillan emphasizes.
"It (the union) also has the
responsibility to provide ways for
students to enhance their cultural and
academic life," she added. McMillan
ranks the EMU as being "one of the
most well-developed programs in the
country for a number of years." She
credits the "very healthy program"
and student involvement as important
factors in the success of the EMU.
Those successful programs include:
EMU Fishbowl - one of the busiest
spots on campus, this area sports a
Snack Bar, Fountain, Grill and a
Delicatessen.
EMU Cafeteria - breakfast, lunch
and inbetween, the cafeteria serves a
wide assortment of food for hungry
athletes, dieting secretaries or health
food students.
The Skylight - specialty is the
word here. Get a craving for peanut
butter, banana, coconut, and jelly
on raisin bread? You'll find it here
and more.
Main Desk - if you can find the Main
Desk, you'll be able to find just about
anything else. You can cash checks
(with proper ID), buy Greyhound bus
tickets, concerts tickets, check the lost
and found, and purchase anything
from aspirin to M&M's to Playboy.
Recreation Center - vent those
•
post-test frustration on a wide array of
pinball and game machines, two
bowling lanes, pool, shuffleboard
and ping pong tables. Tournament
play in bowling, billiards, bridge,
chess and ping pong.
Outdoor Resource Center - need
outdoor gear? The center sells and
rents cutdoor equipment and supplies.
Craft Center - joining the center
enables use of several craft areas.
Worshops are also offered in jewelry,
stained glass, bike repair, photography,
and more.
Print Shop - the EMU's own offers
a wide variety of services including
copying, binding, collating and sign
making.
Outdoor Program - activities
offered to anyone include camping,
hiking, ski touring, rock climbing,
coast and desert exploration, winter
survival techniques, kayaking, sailing,
river boating, bicycling, caving,
environmental action, and nature
photography.
Child Care Center and CCDC - the
former provides by-the-hour child
care, the latter on a more permanent
schedule basis.
Besides a wealth of lounges and
meeting rooms to study or just relax,
the EMU houses a U.S. Post Office,
several student unions, Student
Projects, Inc., the offices of the Oregon
Daily Emerald and the Oregana, a
branch of Hair Today, and Baskin &
Robbins 31 Flavors.

Phi Chi Theta
Phi Chi Theta is a national
professional business fraternity for
students in business and economics,
with over 24,000 members nationwide.
Its purpose is to foster high ideals
among women in business careers.
Guest speakers from the faculty
and business community gave lectures
to the 24 members of the Oregon
chapter, discussing such diverse
subjects as self-awareness, career
opportunities in small businesses and
large corporations, and job searching
skills. The lecturers also shared their
experiences working in such fields as
insurance, accounting, personnel,
finance and education.
Members sponsored fundraising
bake sales and a count-the-beans-in-
the-jar contest.
Phi Chi Theta was actively involved
in the Women's Symposium and helped
sell tickets for BA Day, held spring
term. In addition to these events,
Phi Chi Theta also acts as campus
representatives for Business Week, a
national business magazine.
Once again, members participated in
Career Day, spending one-half day
with local business persons learning
what running a business entails.
In October, a regional conference
was held in Spokane, Wash., and
gathered members from Oregon,
Washington and Idaho for the purpose
of attending business meetings with
the theme "Working Together,"
and gave the members the opportunity
to meet different member chapters
and Phi Chi Theta alumnae in
professional business.
Each year, a scholarship key,
awarded on the basis of scholastic
merit, is presented to an outstanding
senior woman in business. Nancy
VanderHoek, chapter president,
was the recipient.

University Pres. William Boyd's
administration brought another year
of controversial changes to the
University community. Two professional
schools were faced with budget cuts -
the School of Librarianship (which
faces eventual closure) and the Wallace
School of Community Service and
Public Affairs (CSPA).
During the controversy Boyd and
Paul Olum met with departments in
an effort to bridge the communication
gap. Some of the issues discussed
were tenure, research grants, staff
appointments, summer salaries, and
possible changes in administrative
budgeting policies.
Boyd said some of his budget
cutbacks were needed even before
enrollments started to drop. "The
University was over extended when 1
came here two years ago - a period
of time when enrollments were still
on the increase."
Olum said, "I would have made
the same decision about cutting the
CSPA and the School of Librarianship
1 cannot say for Pres. Boyd, but 1
would have made those same cuts with
a level budget."
And even as enrollment level drops
paralled department cutbacks, Boyd's
office saw some basic restructuring
after Gerald Bogen announced his
resignation.
A vice-president for the past six
years, Bogen said his future plans were
indefinite. A nationally recognized
leader in the field of student services
and education for the culturally
disadvantaged, he was called upon
during the year to represent the
nation's land grant colleges and
state universities in testimony before
the Federal Privacy Commission.
Bogen received much criticism from
student groups for his testimony and
call for repeal to the Commission
concerning the Buckley Amendment, a
law regulating access to student
records. The vice-president eventually
drafted a proposal to the Commission
even though the ASUO and the Office
of Student Advocacy disputed Bogen's
remarks.
Shortly after Bogen's
announcement, Donald Rhodes, dean
of student administrative services,
followed suit. Rhodes had held his
post since 1973.
Boyd announced his decision not to
rehire the position vacated by Bogen,
but instead reorganized several
positions.
Under Boyd's reassignments
responsibility for the offices of
registrar, admissions, high school
relations, financial aids, student
services, lifelong learning services,
career planning and placement,
international students, learning
resources, student conduct,
orientation, the Counseling Center
and the Erb Memorial Union were
transfered to the vice-president for
academic affairs. Responsibility for
campus security, housing and health
services were reassigned to the vice-
president for administration and
finance.
Glenn Starlin, vice-provost for
academic planning, retired and was
replaced by University English professor
Robert Albrecht.
Pres. Boyd encouraged the faculty
to examine a new system of registration.
"Our system of registration is an
administered frustration. We
simultaneously tell students that certain
courses are required and that those
same courses are closed to them,"
Boyd said in his yearly faculty address.
Boyd favored some pre-registration
system, yet the only change made
opened registration to seniors and
graduate students first.

AcadeDlic Services
Along with the theory that a
university is a separate world in
itself, students have several resources
to cope with this separate and often
frustrating experience.
134·academic services
The Office of Student Services is
the place to go with your troubles as it
is the funneling office. In other words,
the staff can direct the student to the
program or office best able to deal
with the individual problem.
The Orientation Office yearly
coordinates the Early Orientation and
Registration Program (EORP) and New
Student Week. EORP is designed to
assist entering freshmen to the ways
and means of University life. New
Student Week occurs during the week
of fall term registration featuring tours,
a street faire, meetings and lectures.
Lifelong Learning Services falls
under the Office of Student Services.
This staff assists non-traditional
students - those who are "older"
and who probably have been away from
high school or college classes for a
number of years. The service offers
assistance in pre-admission advising
and in identifying academic and
personal resources available on
campus.
The University Counseling Center is
staffed by professionally trained
counselors available to student, faculty
and staff. Resources, including testing,
are provided for exploring and making
decisions regarding personal and
academic concerns, career choices,
problems in interpersonal relationships,
marriage and pre-marital counseling.
The center is coordinator for most
of the national testing programs,
such as CLEP, College Entrance
Examination Boards, Graduate Record
Examination, Law School Admission
Test, etc.
The Career Planning and Placement
Service is available to all students and
alumni, either seeking planning
assistance, or looking toward a new
job or a second career. This service
offers career planning, assistance, a
career information center, workshops
on resume writing, job search, job
interview, placement file preparation;
duplication and mailing of file to
prospective employers, and interviews
with recruiters.
The High School Equivalency
Program exists to provide the
educational opportunity needed for
participants to pass the GED test for
high school equivalency. The program,
now nationwide, was originated at
the University eight years ago. More
than 1,000 students from migrant and
farmworker backgrounds have
participated in the program.
The Learning Resource Center
offers group and individual programs
to increase learning efficiency. Besides
a speed reading course, the center
offers courses on exam skills, time
liberation, memory techniques, spelling,
vocabulary and term papers. Several
students serve as tutors in a wide variety
of subjects. Students pay $10 per
term for tutorial services while most
tutors receive two to four credits through
the department or school offering the
subject.
The Center for Self Development is
a federally-funded program designed
to help financially and culturally
disadvantaged students cope with
academic life. CSD offers instruction,
tutoring and counseling. The center
also operates a veterans tutorial
program, separate from its other
services.
The Academic Opportunities Program
existed as an attempt to reform a
program to assist minority students
culturally, socially and academically.
However, this program suffered from
bureaucracy and misguided efforts.
Its main focus was offering services to
student through limited enrollment
classes.
The Robert Donald Clark Honors
College program is designed to provide
an opportunity for the motivated
student to explore, define, and develop
intellectual capabilities not only in
specialized fields, but also in the liberal
arts in general. The college is most
actively involved in the first two years
of a student's college education, when
the student takes classes in the college's
core program. Required for graduation
are two colloquia which are designed
for students in their junior and senior

MatheDlatics school.""I try to discourage people from
taking straight math unless they're
geniuses," he said. "Ordinary' mortals
had better use the mathematics as a
way of understanding something else."
Deady Hall experienced a hearty
shakeup winter term, as the math
department moved itself out and
prepared to move in a brand new
undergraduate curriculum, scheduled
for implementation fall term 1977.
The math faculty left Deady for a
newly remodeled office suite in Fenton
Hall during spring break. The new
offices boasted carpeting (an unknown
luxury for the department) and a
faculty-graduate lounge, equipped
with a fireplace leftover from the law
school's occupation of the building.
Math classes were still conducted in
Deady.
Earlier in the year, the faculty had
approved a radically changed math
curriculum, which, according to
Kenneth Ross, acting department
head, was sorely needed to bring the
undergraduate program up to date
and in line with the graduate program.
"The department got appalled and
said, 'This is appalling, '" he said.
The change abolished several courses
and established several new ones.
One to get the axe was Math 106,
Elements of Calculus, which was
replaced by a two-term sequence.
"Getting calculus in two terms will
be less painful," Ross said.
Another modification, affecting
only math majors, was the installation
of new graduatton requirements; the
new system requires students not only
to satisfy a certain number of credit
hours in math, as did the old system,
but also to specialize in one of seven
areas of emphasis within the
department.
These areas of emphasis - bio-
medical, social science, computer
science, education, statistics, physical
science and liberal arts (for students
planning graduate study in
mathematics) - help to aim students
toward specific career opportunities,
according to Ross.
"These various emphases are
effectively advice," he said. "That's
the kind of advice people really need."
Job prospects are less than hopeful
for a graduate with only a bachelor's
degree in math, he said.
"He's got to go to graduate school
or get some other training," he said.
"I hope no student will choose the
Liberal Arts program unless he
definitely plans to go to graduate

"I do like teaching - we have a
long course on algebra and I love
teaching it. . I like the subject matter.
I like those courses where you can be
very honest. That's one of the things
I like about math - a student can get
into an argument with a teacher and
prove himself right. And that's not
necessarily true in other fields. In
many subjects the teacher is the
ultimate authority, but in math we
have an authority greater than us all
that we can appeal to." David Harrison,

Computer Science courses are
designed to provide applied and
theoretical training in the use of
computers. Introductory and service
courses are both designed to fit the
needs of students majoring in a variety
of fields. More advanced courses are
designed for students seeking a
career in the field.
Computing facilities available for
instructional purposes include an IBM
360-50 used for batch processing and
a PDP-lO used for time-shared
computing. The department also
houses a Microdata 3200 for research
and instruction.
Innovations in computer technology
are almost daily occurrences, but
how about an innovative Christmas
gift? The department offered gift
certificates for computing time, a
welcome answer to an age old problem
- what do you get a computer science
major?
The Computing Center sponsored
a computer fair featuring more than
50 different kinds of computer
terminals. About 20 manufacturers
and distributors from Eugene, Seattle,
Portland and San Francisco were on
hand to demonstrate their wares with
piles of literature, a few canned
programs and various computer
printouts.

EconODlics
Economics department head Robert
Campbell predicted administrative
catastrophe for the department when
he announced that Joyce Sweeney
would retire after 13 years as
administrative assistant.
"That's going to be the most
devastating thing that happened to the
department," he said.
Campbell also announced his own
retirement as department head. He said
he would end his long-standing
chairmanship at the school-year's end,
turning over the reins to Henry
Cioldstein, a department professor, but
would remain on the economics faculty.
We're supposed to have a rotating
chairmanship. It hasn't been rotating
much lately," he said.
Sweeney, who joined the department
in 1964, said she worked 12 years
longer than she had intended.
"I was only going to do it one year
-Just long enough to pay our moving
expenses. "
Another important change was in the
department's curriculum. New course
offerings focused on resource
economics - the economics of
depletable resources such as oil,
minerals and forests, Campbell said.
Other department activities included
the 11 th Annual Pacific Regional
Economic Conference in May. The
conference, held in the Eugene Hotel
and the Lane County Courthouse,
covered topics including Alaskan Oil,
land use and energy, and featured
noted economists from around the
nation.

"One observation that I've had is
that during the so-called 'hot years' of
the late 60s I never once had any
adverse experience during that period
of time in a classroom situation. As far
as 1 could tell, there was absolutely no
difference between the late 60s in
terms of what went on in my classes
and the mid-60s or the early 70s. What
this says to me primarily, is that, 1 hate
to blame the media for it, but 1 think
that they stressed what went on. Our
image of the 'hot years' is reflected by
what the media stressed." Robert
Smith, economics
College of Business
At a time when many departments
suffered from declining enrollments
and budget cutbacks, the College of
Business Administration faced an
entirely different kind of squeeze.
"Our problem is growth," acting
dean James Reinmuth said. Enrollment
was up about 10 per cent for 1976-77,
and had jumped even more - 24 per
cent - the year before, he said.
Many classes had extensive waiting
lists and the 10 per cent jump could
easily have been near 20 per cent if
faculty had been available for more
classes, Reinmuth said.
"There is an increased interest in
material that is more pragmatic, more
directly applicable to a professional
career," he said. That shift in interest
was responsible for the school's
growth, he said.
In hopes of better providing the
practical training students seemed to
want, the school made plans for
curriculum changes. In the future,
classes in marketing would change their
emphasis from theoretical marketing
research to the practical aspects of
merchandising and retailing, Reinmuth
said.
Retail marketing employs 20 per
cent of Oregon's workers, compared
to 12 per cent for the wood products
industry, he said.
"No one offers more than a course
or two in retailing while there are many
courses in wood products, especially at
Oregon State," he said.
The Student Committee for Faculty
Assessment, a committee devised by
marketing and business administration
students, launched a new evaluation
process. Reinmuth called it "an
intermediate feedback mechanism,"
and explained that it allowed students
to comment on faculty members during
the term, rather than at the term's end.
"It's too new to give any evaluation,"
Reinmuth said. "Unless the anonymous
comments cease to be anonymous, it
should be successful."
In cooperation with Pacific
Northwest Bell Telephone Company,
the department presented a trial course
on regulatory agencies and government
red tape. The course featured 19 guest
speakers from business and
government, and "triggered an
immediate favorable student response,"
according to an article in the Christian
Science Monitor.
Other guest speakers sponsored by
the department include Gerald
Zaltman, professor of marketing at the
University of Pittsburg, Ward Edwards,
of the Social Science Research
Institute at the University of Southern
California, and Walter Chudsen, an
expert on economic affairs of
development countries.

Public Affairs
140·cspa
Budget cuts amounting to nearly
half of the Wallace School of
Community Service and Public Affairs
current budget were announced by
University President William Boyd in
February.
The school's budget was reduced
$35,000 and annual cutbacks totaling
$265,000 were scheduled until June
1979. Underenrollment at the
University necessitated the cuts,
according to Boyd.
CSPA faculty and students
combined efforts to fight the budget
cuts. They met to discuss the cutbacks
and ways to oppose them. A committee
of faculty and students formed to
report on the effects of the cutbacks
and how to soften those cuts by
restructuring the school. Form letters
were sent to past and present CSPA
students explaining the cuts. Petitions
were circulated and comments solicited
from local agencies who had had
contact with CSPA students and
graduates as to the quality and
importance of· the University's CSPA
program.
Since its founding in 1967, CSPA
has experienced steady growth in both
student and faculty numbers.
Several CSPA faculty will be cut and
replaced by professors shared with
other departments now losing
enrollment. The move will save money
and re-emphasize the multidisciplinary
nature originally planned for CSPA,
according to Boyd.
The University Year for Action
program completed its first full year.
UYA is a grant program funded by the
federal government through CSPA.
The program places students in Lane
County community service agencies for
12 months. About 50 students were
placed in programs ranging from Head
Start to Human Resources Centers in
Cottage Grove and Florence. Students
worked four days a week and attended
classes the fifth. The program allowed
students to get University credit and
gain practical experience. Students
received stipends of $200 per month
while in the program.
Richard Fehnel, CSPA assistant
professor, began directing a year-long
project aimed at producing legislative
recommendations for specific new
programs to serve the "non-traditional
learner" in Oregon. Fehnel described
the "non-traditional learner" as
"anyone whose full time commitment
is to something other than education."
One of the project's goals was to open
post-secondary education in Oregon
for a lifelong learning process.
CSPA was the recipient of a
$29,590 grant for a new training
program geared to develop and
strengthen skills needed by persons
going into public affairs.
"This University, and most
other institutions of higher
education, are at a critical
choice point. What happens here
at the UO within the next five
years is going to very much
determine whether or not
universities become social
dinosaurs. We're playing around
the tarpits. The amazing thing is
the faculty doesn't even know it.
We're going to go the way of
other social institutions, time will
pass us by, they'll find more
effective ways to respond."
Richard Fehnel, CSPA
Sociology
,
Professionalism is the key word for
the sociology department. It has been
ranked in various national studies as in
the top 40 sociology departments in the
nation. In fact, it is the only sociology
department in Oregon to offer its
students a Ph.D.
Some research currently in progress
in the department includes rural
delinquency, white racism, prostitution
on the Western frontier, Third World
dependencies on developed countries,
and U.S. religious history.
The department maintains the
National Institute of Mental Health,
which is a training program for
graduate students in the field of
emotional illness. The Center for the
Sociological Study of Women has been
noted as one of the best programs in
the country dealing with the study of
women and the problems they
encounter. The CSSW, which is
sponsored by the sociology department,
is doing research on the ideas of sex
role learning, the return of middle·aged
women to the work force, and women
in school administration, among other
topics.
The department also publishes two
professional journals which are noted
for their inquisitive articles and indepth
attention to sociological matters. They
are Sociometry and The Insurgent
Sociologist.

A major project for the psychology
department was the proposal to the
University Curriculum Committee of
a full new curriculum for psychology
majors. The new curriculum was
designed to provide more intensive and
cumulative training for students.
"We had a very open-ended
curriculum with a lot of choices, so we
decided to move to a program to
teach certain skills instead of just
content," explained professor Steve
Keele, coordinator of course changes.
Fall term brought a remodeling
project in Science I for the offices of
the physiological psychology and
ethology area of the department.
A three-year grant of $131,000
from the National Science Foundation
assisted in furthering the research
headed by professor Michael Posner,
in discovering the way the brain brings
different sensory stimuli together.
"One wants to understand how the
human brain works, its structure, and
to analyze the nature of the mind,
with its many and different implications
We have exceptional
undergraduate facilities now that
we're in Straub Hall. Some students
have become more deeply involved."

Several programs of research
spawned clinics for a number of
"problems. "
Worriers were given the opportunity
to learn how to "worry constructively."
Widows over 40 years old were offered
a program teaching communications
skills to use as a coping technique in
handling widowhood. Nervous daters
participated in a course to help persons
relax in dating situations by learning
more about the interaction process
which takes place. Persons involved
in divorce had access to a treatment
program.
Another clinic focused on a special
"self-administered" depression
treatment program. Chronic insomniacs
found an experimental clinic on sleep.
And on-again off-again smokers were
solicited for research on why people
resume smoking.
Philosophy
"Even full professors teach 200- level courses -
teach as many of them as our junior members," said
William Davie, department head. Giving junior faculty
members experience in upper-division teaching and
letting lower-division students have contact with senior
professors are valuable, he said
"Both things make it desirable for us to 'spread it
around," he said.
Although a degree is philosophy is good background
for graduate work in law or political science, even
doctors of philosophy have a national employment rate
under 25 per cent, Davie said.
"Our record here is much better than that - I know
it's only about one in 10 that don't get jobs," he said.
"I don't know why, except that the national average
contains a lot of really mediocre Ph.D.s," he added.
The department's size is influential in determining its
quality, he said.
"In a department as small as ours we have to be very
serious about the erosion of quality in order to stay
healthy." he said.
Four philosophers of national or international repute
highlighted a three-day philosophy department workshop
in April.
About 50 persons - philosophy students and faculty
members, a few linguistics students and some visitors
from other colleges - heard presentations on recent
research focusing on problems in the philosophy of
language.
Norman Malcolm of Cornell University, John Searle
of the University of California at Berkeley, John Hunter
of the University of Toronto and Bangs Tapscott of the
University of Utah were the speakers.
Throughout the year, the philosophy faculty was
active in research and maintained a pattern of exposing
lower-division students to senior professors.
Religious Studies
"I was exposed to my own religious
traditions in this country It is
ironical that my 'rebirth' into
Buddhism happened in the West."
Hee-Jin Kim, religious studies
With department head Jack Sanders off in
Claremont, Ca., researching ethics in the Hellenistic Era,
the Religious Studies department found itself down to
three faculty members spring term.
"We like to say we're small but quality," said Pauline
Bryant, the department's secretary.
The 25 percent drop in faculty was in effect only
during spring term, because Simon Parker, a visiting
assistant professor, filled in fall and winter terms
according to Stephen Reynolds, acting departme~t head.
Along with the business of educating the department's
15-20 majors, the faculty plugged away at various
research projects.
Reynolds studied Slavonic Chants, musical elements of
religious services practiced in eastern European churches
since the 13th century. The chants are currently used
by the Old Believers sect in Woodburn, Ore. In the
summer of 1976, Reynolds returned from Poland with
microfilm copies of 70 chants.
Hee-jin Kim continued work on a book comparing the
teachings of D.T. Suzuki, a 20th century Zen Buddhist
leader, with those of Dogen. Kigen, who introduced
Buddhism to Japan in the 13th century.
G. Douglas Straton worked on the text of a book
about 20th century American philosophy.
The department sponsored a distinguished visiting
lecture by David Daube, professor of law at the
University of California at Berkeley, in February. Daube
lectured on "Struggles Over Women's Rights in Ancient
Judaism and Early Christianity."

Political Science
Led by department head John
Orbell, the political science department
launched a speaker exchange with
the University of Washington. Because
of limited funds, the department
could not afford to bring in many
speakers who demand a fee and instead
sent faculty members to UW.
Washington in turn sent speakers
from its department here.
Political science graduate students
conducted a spring conference
involving Northwest political science
departments.
New officers and a new committee
in the Political Science Student Union
bolstered its sagging active
membership.
The department assisted in
conducting the annual Oregon Model
United Nations, bringing more than
300 high school students to campus
simulating an actual United Nations
meeting. The three-day event is
sponsored each year by the 28
member schools of the Oregon High
School International Relations League.
Several course offerings dealt with
current national and state issues.
Politics of an Energy Policy explored
what's involved in developing a
national energy policy and examined
energy alternatives in the United
States. Politics and Government of
the Middle East was designed to give
students a basic awareness of the
political structure of Middle Eastern
countries and a picture of their roles
as major powers. In cooperation with
CSPA, seminars and internships were
instituted for student interested in
working with the 1977 State
Legislature.

College Of Education
In the past, students in elementary
schools who were discovered to have
"special" learning difficulties often
found themselves in "special"
classrooms, and they rarely returned
to the regular classes with other
students. But at the University's
College of Education, and at an
increasing number of colleges around
the nation, many teachers-to-be are
now learning techniques of
"mainstreaming" those special students
into the regular classroom.
The research for this new and
growing approach to special education
is conducted through the College of
Education's Center on Human
Development. In addition to preparing
elementary teachers for early detection
of retardation and for mainstreaming,
the center also created a model
training workshop program for
severely and profoundly retarded
adults. Traditionally, few vocational
training opportunities have existed
for persons with this level of
retardation.
The area of special education
research has been a major focus for
the college. Diane Reinhard, assistant
to dean Robert Gilberts, said the
college has "national Visibility" and is
recognized for having one of the top
three special education programs in
"I think that in the past there was a
definite status thing between the
teacher and student. There was
control through an authority figure.
The student was expected to respect
the instructor. I am not sure that
respect is not a two-way process. I
think teachers back in the 50s and
early 60s preserved a distance
between the teacher-student
relationships. Students were thought
of as second-class citizens. Maybe now
there is more of a willingness to
recognize that 'hey,. these people are
human beings.' The rhetoric of
students' rights movements (of the late
60s) has been picked up by today's
students which gives them a readiness
to be treated with respect. If there is
a difference between kids 20 years ago
and today, it is that they ask the 'so
what' question." Karl Hesse.

conducted in "special ed," and through
CHD is but one component of the wide
array of projects underway at the
college.
The Center for Educational Policy
and Management kicked off a program
designed to encourage women to
enter the field of educational
administration. The goal of the Sex
Equity in Educational Administration
project is to deal with the numerical
imbalance between women and men
in administrative roles.
Women who enter the program are
advised of classes needed to secure
credentials for administration and
they are introduced to the
opportunities and responsibilities of
the profession. A conference was held
in April on campus to bring sex equity
issues to the fore. Aileen Hernandez,
a Ms. magazine board of directors
member and Urban Affairs and
Management Consultant, gave the
keynote address at the conference.
Another conference, sponsored
by CHD, focused on the problems of
handicapped persons and featured an
address by Oregon Sen. Bob
Packwood. The two-day February
symposium presented several sessions
including discussions on child abuse,
language disorders and the difficulties
faced by parents of handicapped
children.
Packwood discussed his support in
Congress for legislation affecting the
handicapped. The conference also
featured Ed Sontag of the U.S. Bureau
of Education for the Handicapped and
Jerome Schulman, head of the Division
of Child Psychology at the Children's
Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
Two new associate deans joined the
faculty. Richard Hersch heads the
teacher education division, and Lloyd
Duvall directs the Center for
Educational Policy and Management.
The diversity of research and
development projects at the college
were given a hefty helping hand with
several federal grants. The U.S.
Department of Health, Education and
Welfare and the Office of Educational
awarded grants in such areaS as the
Educational Resources Information
Center Clearinghouse (a division of
CEPM), special education, CHD, and
career education for future public
school teachers, administrators and
counselors.
Dean Gilberts said the growing
development and awareness of new
education techniques would not
necessarily mean a groWing enrollment
at the college. The number of
undergraduates in teacher education
has remained stable, but more graduate
students have applied for the college's
programs in educational psychology,
educational counseling, speech
pathology, and others.
A grOWing awareness of the College
of Education's activity and involvement
in research and development has come
about, Gilberts said. No longer are
educational institutions automatically
labeled by outsiders as "passive" or
"stable" facilities. The thing that's
exciting is the spirit," he said. "The
climate has changed."

In a large university, where some students feel lost in the
:rowd, the Romance Languages Department could come as a
Jreath of fresh air.
According to senior Karen Rodrigues, it's a small
:Iepartment where professors like to get to know their
;tudents and advisers really do advise. The teachers listen to
:he students' tips on improving classes, too, so there's mutual
:espect on both Sides, she said.
Lunches were held each week for students and teachers of
the various languages to eat and chat together in that
.anguage. Several conversational SEARCH classes were
Jpened for those who wanted more practice.
For students with the time and money, the department
offered classes in other countries through the Study Abroad
program. Programs were either on a full-year or a
summer-only basis.
The Italian section of the Romance Languages department
produced a play, Machiavelli's "La Mandragola," at the
Maude Kerns Art Center in February. The Italians also had a
potluck picnic in the spring for all students and faculty.
One innovation in teaching methods was the use of visual
materials to complement audio training in the classroom. Slide
shows of European artists and cities helped students with the
cultural dimension as an aid to learning the language. Film as
Literature classes using foreign films were a permanent
addition. Special historical studies were also arranged.
Visits from international literary and academic figures
highlighted the German and Russian department's year.
German author Uwe Johnson discussed the problems and
techniques of writing a novel in Gerlinger Alumni Lounge in
October. Johnson is often noted as one of post-war
Germany's finest novelists.
Walter Kempowski, another German novelist, read in
German from one of his novels, also in October.
Joseph Btodsky, an exiled Russian poet who teaches at the
University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, appeared at a
series of seminars and reading in Eugene and Portland in
November.
Basil Dmtryshyn, a specialist in Russian history who teaches
at Portland State University, spoke on "From Tsarist Russia
to Soviet Communism," in May.
Other speakers included Erich Heller, professor of German
at Northwest University, and Katherina Momonsen, of
Stanford University.
German students presented "The Physicists," a German
play by Durren Matt, in Villard Hall's Pocket Theatre in
March. Another student venture - the Deutsches Haus -
finished its first year as the University's first coeducational
dormitory. Occupying part of Dunn Hall, 25 German students
attempted to live in a German atmosphere.
Although the department sponsored movies and dinners
and prOVided some books and periodicals, the students were
more or less independent, department head Wolfgang
Leppmann said.
"They run their own show," he said.
New courses in Polish studies and the Dutch language were
offered for the first time. Another new addition was
"Russian Life Today," taught by Fruim Yurevich, a recent
immigrant from the Soviet Union, who based the course on
his own experience.
"Germans are very

Classics
The aim of the classics department
program is to equip students to deal
directly with the civilizations of Greece
and Rome by giving them the necessary
command of Greek and Latin, and
providing a variety of courses covering
the most important Greek and Latin
poets, historians, orators, and
philosophers. Courses in Greek and
Roman history are offered by the
history department and courses in
ancient art and archaeology by the
architecture and allied art school.

languages (Greek and Latin) are
irrelevant to modern life. However,
students find that by learning Greek

appropriate laboratory practice in
the broadcast studio.
The theater program is oriented
toward the liberal art-humanistic
pattern. Some specific courses are
preprofessional in nature and prOVide
a vocational level of competence in
teaching, and in some aspects of
commercial theater. The specific
fields of study: acting, directing,
design, costume, lighting, history,
stagecraft, dramatic literature,
interpretation, and theory.
The film studies area emphasizes
the history and criticism of world
cinema as one of the arts, and film
production as a means of artistic self-
expression.
The national office of the Committee
on Discussion and Debate of the
National University Extension
Association is located on campus. The
committee provides services to high
school debate leagues throughout the
United States, including publication of
The Forensic Quarterly and related
books, distribution of discussion and
debate materials, and maintenance of
a forensics library.
"Rhetoric and communication takes
care of the fundamental aspects of
human existence - communication.
We think we handle the key to
everyone else. Those who don't think
so should try to come up with an area
that doesn't depend on communication

History
The study of history offers both a
framework for a liberal education and
a broad foundation for a variety of
careers - teaching and research, law,
journalism, foreign service,
government, business, the ministry,
librarianship. It provides a context of
historical kno~ledge essential for an
understanding of the contemporary
world. Through analyzing interpretative
studies and accounts by witnesses to
historical events, students appreciate
more fully the complexity of human
experience. By examining social
changes in other times, they develop
a broad perspective and the ability
to weigh evidence and argument that
free people need in a rapidly changing
world.
With this philosophy, the history
department sponsored several
lecturers. Noted archaeologist Homer
Thompson of Princeton University's
Institute for Advanced Study discussed
the life of Socrates in ancient Anthens.
Elinor Langer of Goddard College
spoke on the life of Josephine Herbst.
The Vigilante techniques in the
American West of the 19th century
was the subject of a talk by Richard
Brown, history professor at the College
of William and Mary.
The department hosted a day-long
conference in October on "History
and the Public School Today."
History faculty members from
throughout the Northwest attended
the conference which also served as
the annual fall meeting of the Oregon
and Southwest Washington Conference
of Historians, and was designated as
a University Centennial event.
University historians Roger
Chickering and Alan Kimball spent
their academic year in Berlin and the
Soviet Union, respectively, on
Fulbright-Hays fellowships. Chickering
studies radical national organizations
in Germany prior to World War I,
while Kimball researched organizations
and public opinion in the capital city
of the Russian empire in the late 19th
century.
The first annual Quirinus Breen
Memorial Lecture occurred in April
IS0·history
and featured Princeton history
professor Carl Schorske. An expert
on the German Socialist movement
in the early 1900s, Schorske spoke on
the Austrian painter Gustav Klimt and
examined connections between
Klimt's art and the anxieties and
tensions of pre-war Vienna. Breen, a
University history professor, died in
1975. He was an internationally-known
scholar in the field of renaissance
studies, served as president of the
American Society for Church History
and lectured Widely at universities
in America and Europe.
Anthropology
Even after 14 years of retirement,
Luther Cressman's presence was a
big part of the anthropology
department's year.
Cressman, who founded the
department in 1929 and was its driving
force until his retirement in 1963,
published a major work, "Prehistory
of the Far West," in the spring.
"It's the first synthesis of far west
prehistory," said C. Melvin Aikens,
acting department head.
Cressman's work with western
prehistory was the focus of an
important department project, "The
Cave, the Bridge, and the Basin," a
television program planned in
cooperation with Portland public
television station KOAP.
The department and KOAP designed
the program during the academic
year and made plans to submit
a proposal for a production grant
during the summer.
"It'll be scientifically accurate but
not tedious," Aikens said.
While Aikens managed department
business, department head Don
Dummond spent parts of the year in
Yucatan and England, researching a
19th century Mayan cult.
Prof. Vernon Dorjahn worked on
an economic and demographic study in
Sierra Leone (Africa), and associate
professor Philip Young began a two-
year term as director of a program
teaching reading and writing to the
Guaymi Indians of Panama.
"If you are a good teacher and
you can convey enthusiasm, then
what you're conveying is a
motivation for people to want to
learn more. They'll read what
you tell them to read, the
textbooks; they'll even read
widely. I've found that students
seem to be much more motivated
than they used to be. A lot of
them read reference books that
didn't ever use to be looked at
Anthropology is humanistic
and teaches you to be skeptical
of society; to question some of
the values of your own society;
to wonder about militarism and
whether so-called aggression or
warfare is inevitable." Robert
Tonkinson, anthropology

Physics
In an attempt to serve students who
don't plan graduate study in physics,
the physics department prepared to
launch a new course offering, planned
for fall term 1977, that included a
minimal emphasis on mathematics.
"We feel we should offer a track
of courses that is not professional- for
people who want a liberal arts
education with a major in physics," said
Bernd Crasemann, department head.
The experimental course for juniors
was developed in cooperation with the
College of Education, Crasemann said.
"it's an experiment," he said. "If
it flies we will add a senior course next
year. "
The department continued its policy
of making physics available for
non-majors through its series of
"mini-courses," such as "Physics of
Music" and "Time, Space and Motion."
"We feel that scientists have not
nearly lived up to their responsibility to
communicate to non-majors,"
Crasemann said. "We have put several
of the most able members of our
department in one-term courses
designed to communicate to
non-majors," he said.
Along with its service courses, the
department placed a heavy emphasis
on graduate studies and research,
Crasemann said. The number of
graduate students - 70 - equaled that
of undergraduate students. The
department received about $1.5 million
in research grants.
This emphasis on research led to a
novel financial relationship with the
University.
"For each $100 we spend on salaries
the University gets $71," Crasemann
said. "That is the way the University
recovers the cost of giving us space
and heat.
"One must realize that a very high
percentage of our time - more than
half for many of my colleagues - goes
to research and supervision of
graduate students," he said. Thus the
~eed to keep accounts separate, he
added.
"Even the paper towels in our
laboratories we don't get from the
University. We have to buy our own."
152-physics
"I originally came to this country
to study philosophy of science,
symbolic logic, and theory of
knowledge later, I felt that I
wanted to keep my feet on the
ground and wanted to do some
physics temporarily in order to get
some basis in empirical science
before returning to philosophy; but,
I got so intrigued by physics that I
never went back, although I am still
interested in philosophy." Bernd
Crasemann, physics
Biology
The biology department works at
producing new Charles Darwins and
Gregor Mendels every year.
To aid them in this task, the
department has several facilities to
offer the biology student: five
electron microscopes; a
community-shared research lab; a
complete optics and photography lab,
and 12 teaching labs.
The biology department has one of
the finest faculties in the nation. Each
of 40 professors has his own research
suite; each is expected to devote 50 per
cent of his time to research. Most of
the 130 grad students also research a
variety of biological areas.
For the first time, the University
-operated Oregon Institute of Marine
Biology offered classes fall term,
including Marine Algae, Invertebrate
Zoology, and Evolution and Ecology. In
the past, the institute, located at
Charleston, near Coos Bay, has
offered classes only in the spring and
summer. In addition, every spring the
institute presents "Man and the Oregon
Coast," which concerns man's
relationship with the environment at
the Oregon coast.
The department also sponsors the
Ralph Huestis award. Named after a
prominent biology faculty member, the
award is presented annually to an
outstanding undergraduate biology
major. This year's winner was Carrie
Ware.

CheDlistry
Several new pieces of sophisticated
gadgetry have been added to the
chemistry department's research tool
kit, including a Russian-made
microcalorimeter that Richard Noyes,
department head, describes as
fantastic.
The machine, acquired after two
years of negotiations, is one of two in
the United States, and is reputed to be
five times as sensitive as its nearest
American rival.
"Basically what it does is to measure
the amount of energy required to
cause a chemical reaction to take
place," associate professor Frederick
Dahlquist, who headed the negotiations,
said.
The microcalorimeter cost about
$30,000 and is used by the University's
Institute for Molecular Biology.
Another new acquisition is a two-ton
magnet used in research on organic
compounds and tissue membranes, It
replaced an older, larger magnet, which
was relocated to be used in other
research within the department. The
whole operation cost over $26,000.
Still another new apparatus is an
"ultra-high vacuum photoemission
electron microscope" - the only such
microscope in the world. Developed
and built entirely by professor O.
Hayes Griffith and a staff of
research assistants, technicians and
students, the instrument is capable of
photographing cell membranes in a
vacuum environment that ensures
against contamination.
The new equipment is part of the
department's extensive program of
faculty and student research. Every
teaching professor without an
administrative task also has a research
project, according to Noyes. Students
are encouraged to participate as well,
he said.
"I think that it is quite a
research-oriented department," he
said. Research grant from sources
including the National Science
Foundation and the federal Public
Health Service total close to $1 million
a year, he said. Noyes said the
department is gaining acceptance and
respect around the country.
"When we have a faculty position to
fill, we really are getting the best in
the country," he said.
A recent survey rated the
department 30th in the country, but
Noyes thinks the rating underestimates
the department's quality, he said.
"We're willing to concede ei9ht or
nine are higher than we are, but we are
somewhat higher than 30th," he said.
Noyes was elected to membership in
the National Academy of Sciences in
April. He is the sixth Oregon scientist
to receive the honor.

Geology
A scanning electron microscope, a
lab facility to house it and two other
labs were additions to the geology
department facilities. The labs were
to be used for "study of acid
digestion of rock" and
"sedimentation and stratigraphy study,"
according to department head Sam
Boggs.
University geologist Allan Kays
treked to a remote part of the coast
of eastern Greenland to study igneous
rocks. Kays was joined by University
geologists Alexander McBirney,
Gordon Goles and William Leeman and
an Oregon State University geologist
for a month stay during July and
August. University graduate student
Jim Hoover also took part in the
Greenland study, which was made
possible by a $15,500 grant from the
National Science Foundation.
Dr. Norman Savage and two research
students, John Faulhauber and Andy
Hobbet, spent part of the summer in
southeastern Alaska. The trio
"collected fossils and used fossils to
give the age of sediments" with the aid
of a National Science Foundation
Grant, according to Savage.
Savage also spent two weeks in
September in the Indian Himalayas,
using fossil evidence to determine the
ages of the rocks.
Graduate student Greg Miles
participated in a deep sea drilling study
in the Caribbean Sea.
The geology department hosted
seminars Thursdays at noon. University
professors, graduate students and
non-University guest speakers spoke to
audiences averaging 30-40 people.
Petrology of Volcanistic Rocks
Archaelogical Geology, and Elect~on
Beam Analysis in Minerology and
Petrology were additions to the
department's curriculum.
Geography
The Atlas of Oregon, the
geography department's major project
in 1975-6, remained the dominating
interest in the department.
Published in mid-October, The Atlas
is a 224-page compilation of
everything from bicycle trails to solar
radiation. Associate professor William
Loy, director of the three year project,
autographed copies of The Atlas when
it went on sale at the U of 0 Bookstore
in late October.
Sale of the first 10,000 copies went
quite well, according to Dr. Everett
Smith, department head, and a second
edition of the atlas was possible.
The department added both an
expanded map library and a
cartography lab to geography resources
in Condon Hall. Rob R. Price, a
geography professor from Glasgow,
Scotland, visited the department in
April.
Enrollment in the department rose
20 per cent from 1975, an increase
Smith cited as a "reflection of a
continuing interest in the
environment. "

School Of Architecture & Allied Arts
The School of Architecture and
Allied Arts encompasses seven major
areas of study: architecture, interior
architecture, landscape architecture,
urban and regional planning, art
education, art history, and fine and
applied art. The latter department
consists of ceramics, graphic design,
jewelry and metalsmithing, painting,
printmaking, sculpture and weaving.
A free weekly lecture series sponsored
by the school featured several
professors from the various
departments. Topics included Oregon
interiors of the Victorian Age,
Computer graphics: art applications,
the architecture of Malta, New York
City's urban design, ideas from the
Bay Area, and a year in the studio.
Several well-known authorities also
spoke to A&AA students: British
craftsman and potter Harry Davis,
UCLA art history professor Cecilia
Kline, archaeology research
associate Anneliese Gutkind Bulling,
Parthenon authority Dr. Frank
Brommer were among several
lecturers.
The school and its faculty received
a number of honors. The interior
design department became the first
department of its kind on the West
Coast to receive full accreditation from
the Foundation for Interior Design
Research Education, the only
accrediting organization in the nation
for interior design education programs.
Assistant department head Donald
Peting was awarded a 1978-78 Rome
Prize Fellowship in environmental
design by the American Academy in
Rome. Peting will do independent
study of Mediterranean windmills and
waterfalls.
A life-size female torso carved from
walnut wood earned fine arts professor
Paul Buckner an "award of distinction"
in the 10th Annual Mainstream
International Competition for Painting

Sculpture professor Jan Zach's
stainless steel sculpture will be placed
on permanent display near the
University of New Orleans. His work
was one of two winners of $7,500 in
the Ninth National-International
Sculptors Conference in New Orleans.
Students, faculty and the
community benefited from several
department projects. Students Phil
Acker and Pat Lawrence designed and
built a three-dimensional map of the
University to aid blind students. The
Design for Arts Management Workshop
provided information on careers in
art management, curriculum for arts
management majors, fund raising and
management techniques.
Several urban planning classes
examined issues facing Eugene and
the state.
Art education majors participated
in a program that taught Eugene-area
children about art while the
undergraduates were trained in
teaching techniques.

JournalisDl
The School of Journalism continued
its active role in the profession and
hosted several press conferences at
the university.
Former governor Tom McCall
highlighted the 50th Oregon High
School Press Conference, held
October 8-9. McCall delivered the
keynote address at the conference,
attended by more than 500 junior
high and high school journalists. New
journalism dean Galen Rarick served
as master of ceremonies.
February brought the annual Oregon
Press Conference sponsored by the
Oregon Newspaper Publishers'
Association (ONPA).
A key speaker was reporter Ron
Koziol of the Chicago Tribune.
Koziol, a member of the Investigative
Reporters and Editors Association,
headed the investigation into Arizona
reporter Don Bolles' death.
Mel Ruder, editor and publisher of
the Hungry Horse News in Columbia
Falls, Montana, also spoke at the ONPA
conference.
The conference sponsored local
speakers Barrie Hartman, managing
editor of the Eugene Register-Guard,
and professor Jack Hart of the
journalism school. A panel on business
coverage included professor Jack
Ewan of the journalism school and
Mike Jordan, a representative of
Pacific Northwest Bell.
The Ruhl Symposium, previously
held during fall term, took place in the
spring. The symposium, endowed to
the journalism school by Mrs. Robert
Ruhl of Medford, sponsors a visiting
lecturer and two Ruhl Fellows who
serve as editors-in-residence, lecturing
classes and attending student-faculty
meetings.
Student interest in journalism
remains high. Marcia Healy, president
of the school's chapter of Women in
Communication, Inc. (WICI), attended
the organization's national convention
in October.
Both WICI and Sigma Delta Chi,
the Society for Professional Journalists,
held meetings throughout the year to
generate membership and to provide
outlets for discussion of the profession.

School Of Law
The students and faculty of the
School of Law took several honors,
brought numerous speakers, and
provided many services to the
University and Eugene communities.
The University's Moot Court team
Slarnered first place in the Pacific
Northwest regional round of the Jessup
International Law Moot Court
Competition. The team consisted of
Greg Cook (judged the region's top
oralist), Daniel Callahan, Patricia
Crain, David Feist and Steve
Jacobson. A University team has taken
first place for the past two years. The
Jessup Competition annually presents
a current international law problem
for debate by law students before a
mock International Court of Justice.
The 1977 problem concerned the
legality of some current attempts
to limit nuclear proliferation.
Charles Schrader was awarded
$250 in first prize honors in the 1976
Nathan Burkan Memorial Competition.
The competition, held in October, is
sponsored by the American Society
of Composers, Authors and Publishers
158·school of law
(ASCAP). The competition is designed
to stimulate interest in the field of
copyright law.
Faculty honors included: James
Mooney, chosen Teacher of the Year
by the school's Phi Delta Phi fraternity;
Peter Swan, awarded a Fulbright to
study the legal spects of off-shore
drilling; Eugene Scoles, elected as
1978 national president of the
Association of American Law Schools;
Hans Linde, appointed to the Oregon
Supreme Court by Gov. Bob Straub.
The law school hosted lectures and
discussions by Marsha Morgan of the
Lane Interagency Rape Team on the
legal process involved in reporting a
rape; Lloyd Hammel Jr., general
counsel for Pacific Northwest Bell,
and Ben Sawyer, president of Sawyer
Communications Consultants on the
Communications Reform Act of 1976;
Pat Horton, Lane County District
Attorney on his candidacy for re-
election, and Elliot Richardson,
Secretary of Commerce.
Richardson spoke on several current
topics, including his role during the
Watergate administration. Some of
Richardson's remarks were more
provocative than others. In a talk to
law student he quipped, never run
after a woman or a bus because there'll
be another along shortly. The Women's
Law Forum wrote letters to
Richardson and Pres. Gerald Ford
protesting what it called a sexist joke
by Richardson.
The Student Bar Association (SBA)
for the fourth year sponsored the
People's Law School, a series of free
classes on various types of law taught
by law students. Courses covered
common income tax problems, battling
bureaucracy, legal research, prisoner's
rights, landlord-tenant relations,
consumer credit, environmental and
natural law, juvenile law, search and
seizure, and buying land in Oregon.
The SBA and Lane County's ACLU
chapter cosponsored a week in
February of programs on civil rights.
The SBA also continued its free legal
referral service, Legal Connections.
School Of Librarianship
The School of Librarianship
celebrated its tenth anniversary fall
term. It may have been the last
anniversary the school will ever
celebrate here.
In April, President William Boyd
announced his intentions of closing
the school, partly as a result of the
University's budgetary concerns and
partly as the result of his judgement
that the training of librarians is not a
crucial area of need in the state. A
large number of unemployed and
underemployed librarians already
exists, Boyd said.
It was estimated that the
termination of the school would save
up to $300,000 each year.
The termination, if approved, was
scheduled for 1978. The 115 to 120
students currently enrolled in the
program would be allowed to complete
their work to receive certification as
school librarians.
Of six tenured faculty members,
two resigned, one neared retirement
age and two left at the end of the year.
These changes include the resignation
of Dean Herman Totten, who has
accepted a position at another
university. The decision to close the
school was not a consequence of
staff changes, according to Boyd.
The School of Librarianship,
established in 1966, offers courses
leading to a masters degree in library
sciences.

School Of Music
Beall Hall's several concerts were
made available to the University and
Eugene communities with the
continuance of concert broadcasts
over the University's public radio
station, KWAX-FM, 91.1.
The University Music Society's
Chamber Music Series brought such
reknowned artists as The Melos
Quartet of Stuttgart, Germany to
Beall Hall.
Other music school performances
included The Unfortunate Diving
Duck Repertory Company, jazz
trumpeter Oscar Williams (artist-in-
residence), harpsichordist Jacques
Ogg, classical and baroque guitarist
Michael Lorimer, and French harpist
Catherine Michal.
Several groups within the school
performed around the state and the
Northwest. The Jazz-Lab Band I
placed in the top 30 per cent of 90
ensembles performing at the Pacific
Coast Collegiate Jazz Festival at the
University of California at Berkeley in
April.
Other groups included the
Sinfonietta, the Brass Choir, the Earely
Musick Pleyers, the Chorale, the U
of 0 Singers, the Symphony Orchestra,
the Percussion Ensemble, the
University Trio, and the Vocal Jazz
Ensemble.
The school's associate dean, Royce
Saltzman, was elected national
president of the American Choral
Directors Association.
Expansion was the word. A record
high enrollment for flail term and
groundbreaking for the School of
Music's addition were the events.
Enrollment expanded nine per
cent more than 1976 according to
John McManus, music undergraduate
coordinator. Building expansion
included choral and instrumental
classrooms, studios, rehearsal
areas, practice rooms, storage and
service areas. The $2 million
project was scheduled for
completion in March 1978.
The school hosted the 24th
annual Conference on Music
Education in January. More than
500 student musicians and music
educators from Oregon attended
and participated in demonstrations
ot new techniques in music

education, instructional clinics,
special performances, and exhibits.
In March, some 3,750 high school
musicians competed in the Oregon

District IV Festival. Competitors
performed for ratings from the
adjudicators and were judged
against a standard, rather than
against each other.
College Of Health, Physical Education
In our present-day of living,
anything that is rated number one is
admired. The College of Health,
Physical Education, Recreation, Dance
and Gerentology "is perhaps the
leading school of its kind in the United
States and is the largest in enrollment,"
said Lynn Rodney, dean of the college.
It is also one of the largest colleges
on the campus with 1,098 majors.
The college, which was established
in 1921, was the first of its kind in the
nation. It now houses four departments
and five programs. Each department
establishes its own requirements
for admission.
"There is such diversity here,"
said Rodney. "Students can major
and choose options from the health
education, physical education,
recreation, dance, and gerontology
programs.
The college also handles the
physical education program for all
university students. It is one of the
finest in the country, offering such
diverse activities as skiing,
mountaineering, tennis and jazz dance,
according to Dr. Vernon Sprague,
head of the program.
The school's placement record has
been good, Rodney said, because of
the fine reputation it has earned.
The health department has 211
majors and less funding than any
other department in the University.
Despite the financial problem, the
department must continue to prepare
health teachers for kindergarten
through 12th grade, according to Dr.
Warren Smith, head of the department.
"This is our main responsibility,"
he said.
It is a big responsibility, indeed,
as the health career industry is forecast
to be the largest employer in the
United States by 1980.
Students are admitted to the
program on a pre-major basis pending
their completion of certain college
requirements. Opportunities for health
major graduates include: school and
community health educators; school
health coordinators, school health
nurses, health career teachers, state
school specialists, health researchers
and statisticians, and athletic trainers.
Department offerings include
several options: pre-nursing, pre-
dental hygiene, pre-physical therapy,
and a driver's safety program. Further
training of paramedics and paradents
is also included in the curriculum.
"We generally suggest that the
student have two options," said Smith.
The gerontology department is
currently part of the health
department. It is funded primarily
by federal finances. Gerontology
courses were previously offered only
through cross-listings but the GERO
prefix is being adopted.
The highly successful Drug
Information Center is also under the
health department. Basically
autonomous, it has been in operation
for six years and associated with the
University for two years. It is probably
the best drug information service to
the public in the state, according to
Smith. "All the credit in the world
goes to these young people," Smith
said.
The service anonomously analyzes
drugs and recently received a contract
to train state police in working with
drugs.
The Department of Health Education
has been recognized by the federal
government for outstanding health
programs and has received funds under
the Experienced Teacher Fellowship
Award and the Prospective Teacher
.Fellowship program. Numerous other
small grants have been awarded to the
department.
The physical education layman who
has taken only the University P.E.
requirements, may not realize the full
extent of the physical education
department. It is the largest section
of the College of Health, Physical
Education, Recreation, Dance and
Gerontology. "The physical education
department is better known
internationally than any other P.E.
school. We have more foreign students
than anywhere in the United States,"
said Dr. Vernon Sprague, head of the
department. The department has a
hefty 464 undergraduates and 120
graduate students. There are 31 full
time faculty members and 14 part-
timers.
The purpose of the program is to
prepare teachers in physical education
for positions in Oregon and the
adjacent areas. Physical education
graduates can look for teaching
positions in grades K-12. The physical
education options are: aquatic, athletic
trainer, coaching, dance, and pre-
physical therapy. These are intended
to supplement the basic P.E. programs.
The physical education department
operates the prestigous Center of
Research for Human Performance,
whose major emphasis is support of
the P.E. graduate programs. Most of
the studies have dealt with the effects
of moderate and severe prolonged
exercise on various body systems under
normal and adverse conditions.
Research findings from the center
have been published in various scientific
journals.
Microform Publications is another
service of the department. The
program's objective is to make
previously unpublished but significant
material available to interested
persons or institutions.
Men's and women's intramural
sports and Women's Intercollegiate
Athletics are also under the jurisdiction
of the physical education department.
The service courses program is
considered one of the best in the
nation and the courses offered are
extensive. The program presents
approximately 200 class sections each
quarter - about 50 different activities
ranging from bellydancing to
basketball.
"It has always been the object of
the program to provide an attractive
breadth of activities to meet the needs
of the students," Sprague said.
Parks and recreation majors can
choose from four areas of emphasis:
program services, which includes
municipal departments, community
education, and community youth
agencies; outdoor education and
outdoor recreation; theraputic
recreation, and program specialities,
which includes aquatics, music, dance
and cultural arts.
The department serves 304 majors.
It has previously been chosen as a
model parks and recreation program
for the development of a similar
program at East Stroudsburg State
College in Pennsylvania.
Dr. Larry Neal, head of the
department was named president of
the Oregon Parks and Recreation
Society.

And Recreation / Dance
The dance department is a rapidly
growing component of the college.
The department has 116
undergraduates, 15 of whom are men.
"That's very exciting to have," said
Dr. Linda Hearn, head of the
department. "Social structure is
changing somewhat; people are
accepting that dance is an athletic
event and not for sissies."
Two new faculty members were
added to the staff during the academic
year. Dr. T. Ray Faulkner teaches
research, esthetics, history, and
modern technique. She is also the
director of the graduate dance
program. Susan Zadoff teaches the
ballet technique classes.
Ray Miller teaches mime, a new
course offering in the department,
and Ken Aldridge teaches Renaissance
dance classes. Both are graduate
students working on their theses.
Graduates from the department
have found places in the Royal
Winnipeg, Charles Wydman, Dan
Wagoner, Jose Limon, Moussiwir, and
San Francisco Ballet companies.
Many more are teaching at colleges.
After receiving an undergraduate
degree, many dancers go to New York,
Los Angeles, and San Francisco for
further training. Some start studios or
teach the technical aspects of dance.
Hearn estimates that about 50 per
cent of the graduates are in some form
of teaching, while 10 per cent are in
professional or management positions.
The rest are seeking advanced degrees.
The dance department also handles
the service-level courses. There is room
for about 650 students and the classes
fill up extremely fast. The most popular
service courses are ballroom, jazz, and
ballet classes.
These courses seem to benefit
everyone, from the dance major to the
person who simply decided to find out
what dance was all about. "The non-
majors, majors and the graduate
students all feed on each other - if
we had only an undergraduate
program, it wouldn't be as good as if
they didn't have the graduates and the
non-majors," said Hearn.
"Several of our graduates who are
now professional dancers, started out
in a service course, they needed a
class at a certain hour, so they signed
up."

ROTC
The University ROTC programs have
experienced antagonism throughout
the Sixties and early Seventies, and
1977 was no exception.
Biology professor Bayard
McConnaughey in April made his
ninth attempt to have ROTC eliminated
from the University curriculum. He
missed the University Senate's
approval of his motion by a 9-25 vote
with three abstentions.
McConnaughey, though having little
other faculty support, still believes the
military arms race is the leading cause
of economic and environmental
problems in the world today.
"This isn't how 1 want to spend my
time. 1 suppose it's just a remnant of
concern as to whether the human
species should continue," he said.
So it came as a surprise, especially
to McConnaughey, when in May the
General Faculty voted 86-76 in favor
that "this faculty recognizes that
military training is not an appropriate
activity for the U of 0, and we
recommend that the ROTC
contract between the University and
the Department of Defense be
terminated at the earliest date at
which this is legally possible."
The motion, however, reqUired
acceptance by University Pres. William
Boyd, who was not present during the
vote. He did appear at the meeting
prior to adjournment upon hearing of
the vote and asked acting chairer Paul
alum (vice-president for academic
affairs) if the General Faculty might
reconsider the motion. A member of
the voting majority, Prof. John Wish,
stated he wished to exercise his option
to reconsider the motion at the next
meeting. This move effectively placed
an injunction on the motion until the
June 1 meeting where faculty would
vote on reconsideration.
Though McConnaughey was pleased
he saw the faculty vote not as the final
say, but as a change in attitudes.
"It probably represents a resurgence
of concern," he said. "I think there
has also been a growing questioning
about the integrity of running an
outside program at the University -
it's like having the Catholic Church
proVide for the training of priests on
campus."
During all the ruckus, ROTC
representatives and their programs
kept a low profile.
"Terminating ROTC is a long-range
University decision that should be
made by tenured faculty," said Col.
Hosea Skinner of Air ROTC. "We
are subserviant to civilian control and
do not intend to make an effort to
coalesce groups in support of ROTC."
ROTC students felt supporters of
the motion had a misconception of the
program. Many felt that as long as
students want to belong, the program
should be available. Others felt the
emphasis on military training wasn't
the reason for their attendance, rather
the program is a springboard for
professional careers.
The Daily Emerald, this time around,
editorially supported the motion the
day of the General Faculty meeting:
"A yes vote on the McConnaughey
motion will show that the faculty feels
the University should be free of military
and government influence. A yes vote
would mean the faculty is not ready to
accept the military as a necessary part
of the University community. A yes
vote would acknowledge that the
nature of the military cannot be
reconciled with the nature of liberal
education. "
But, with an expected abundant
attendance, the General Faculty voted
190-110 in support of the ROTC
program. Among those speaking in
favor of ROTC was Pres. Boyd who
felt pressured to voice his opinion. He
said, "We have to consider our
responsibility to, and our relationship
with, the people of Oregon. It is not a
curriculum matter, but a political and
symbolic one We should not
vote to abolish the ROTC program, no
matter what the military does, and 1
hardly care about that."
Boyd added that the ROTC issue
could disrupt the rapport the University
had been establishing with the public.
"When there's a love affair going,
there are bad nights."
Amidst all the furor, the ROTC
programs went about other changes.
Air Force cadets began a policy of
attending classes in uniform every
Thursday. Both Army and Air Force
programs continued emphasis on
expansion to include women cadets.

"One thing that's kind of interesting
about this particular university is how
isolated the members of the classes
are. I've been here three years and
only know three or four people by
name in the graduating class of the
economics department. There's only 60
or 70 people. [ didn't expect that. I
thought this place was small enough
you wouldn't have that. Part of it the
department could change if they
wanted to part of it's competition
too, the competitive atmosphere. Part
of it's the fear that the person next

you." Rece Bly, senior, economics

"I'd say there's a lot of personal
contact in the math department, almost
to the point of being too much, but I
wouldn't say that. It's almost to the
point of seeing each of your teachers
once a week. It's (math) difficult, so
you have to go in and talk about things
you don't understand. And if you talk
to somebody that much, it's inevitable
that you'll talk about things other than
math. You get to know them
personally." George Filz, senior, math

"I didn't think I'd actually go into

"The geology department is
based on giving undergraduates a
wide degree of information and
direction with the idea of not
specializing until graduate school.
You get a taste of everything. It's a
good idea to be well rounded but
it can be a drag if you know what
area you want to specialize in.
With a BA or BS you can dig holes.
With an MS you can tell others
where to dig the holes." Jim
Paces, senior, geology
"I'm glad I went to a large school. There is a large
choice of things to do, things to take, there's more
people The physics department is small I've
enjoyed the benefits of a small school, being in a small
department. I'd hate to think what would happen if I
majored in biology." Mike Troychak. senior, physics

Godfather Part III complete with shotguns and garters, The
Bachelor Bash and Carribean Days were the themes of Chi
Omega's three fantastic house dances this year. Also annual
Halloween, Christmas and Valentine Day celebrations were held
at the house. Victories in the tug-of-war and float contests with
Sigma Alpha Epsilon highlighted participation in Parents
Weekend and Greek Week. Chi Omegas celebrated their 82nd
founders day at a luncheon in Portland. Membership in the fall
was 75 and we welcomed 19 new pledges in the spring. Charity
efforts were highlighted by participation in the Jog-A-Thon to
help resurface the U of 0 track, donations to the March of
Dimes and donations to Sigma Phi Epsilon for their keg roll for
Muscular Distrophy.
Officers for the year were Sue Thompson-President, Sara
Fulton-Vice President, Karan Stirling-Secretary, Wendy Muskopf
-Treasurer and Darcie Harcie Hample-Pledge trainer.

To whom it may concern,
Ugh. As this is being written, there is a great sigh of relief rising above my head.
At any other time it would have been anger, disgust, frustration, disappointment,
and failure. But now only "Thank god (or any other person in high office) it's done."
Some editor's notes only function as personal, inside thank yous to various
personalities. There'll be some of those here. But first
To those 1,640 persons who paid $9, $10 or $11 for a 1977 Oregana, my
apologies for being an entire year late. To those who were patient, thanks for your
patience. To those who were irate, unhappy, and demanding your good money
back, I don't blame you. To the administrators who probably worried alot, sorry.
To my friends who didn't bug me to death, thanks for contributing to my sanity.
To Josten's/American Yearbook, thanks for hanging in there.
A bit more personal My gratitude and love to Kathy Avanzino, Steve, Alane
and Ryan Harrington, Mary and Barrie Hartman, Ken Metzler, Rebecca Young,
Dave and Joyce Bemis, and the 1977 staff for support, concern, tons of work and
little pushes along the way. To Sue, Paul, Bruce, Bert, Tim and Ron, thanks for
understanding the problems along the way.
Well, enough personals.
On the critical side, this book could be much better. Several areas are not what
I and the staff had initially hoped for and planned. For example, why no sports
copy? Because no one (including me) would write it. It is Virtually impossible to
satisfy everyone and even more impossible to photograph everyone. Excuse us for
misnamed photos, misspelled names, photos lost, etc. The method and studio we
used resulted only in problems and setbacks.
There are all too many reasons why publication was delayed. But this is not
intended to be a list of excuses. Nor am I embarrassed because we're an entire year
late. Mostly I'll laugh about it. It was a learning experience, an experience to try
to keep something alive that is dying.
Sorry it took so long, Rob.
Sincerely,
Jerril L. Nilson
1977 editor-in-chief
