Sociologist says Whites want position of privilege Whites are striving to maintain their privileged position in our society, sociologist David Wellman claimed as he addressed more than 50 persons at a sociology department colloquium Monday. Wellman emphasized that Whites are motivated less by hate than they are by their desire for privelege. He discredited the theory of prejudice as not being central to the racial issue. Wellman is doing graduate research on race and community relations at the University of California. He graduated from Wayne State in 1962 and received his masters degree from the University of California in 1966. By ALLAN CLASSEN Of the Emerald Before 1960, he said, the race problem was widely understood as the result of prejudiced individuals. This led to hope the problem could be solved in time. But now, sociologists see racial inequality as a conflict of interests that has no simple solution, he said. “I’m not saying there hasn’t been change, but the changes haven’t been that great,” Wellman said to queries from the audience that his lecture overlooked this point. He said the methods used by Whites and their institutions have been changing but the effect on the Blacks has basically remained the same.

On Campus Two Oregon men appointed to MIS Two Oregon men, Max Abbott and Leo Myers, have been ap pointed to a six-man advisory committee which will oversee planning of Management Information Systems (MIS) in three states— Alabama, Oregon and Tennessee. Abbott is director of the University’s Center for the Advanced Study of Educational Administration (CASEA) and Myers is the Oregon Board of Education assistant superintendent for planning and evaluation. The federal project for which the men will act as technical ad visors is being funded by the U.S. Office of Education and initially involves an eight-month planning period. During that time the two committee members in each state will suggest adaptations and revision of MIS programs currently being developed in Maryland and Texas. The Management Information System is designed to show how successful local school districts are in establishing and achieving their educational goals. Ideally the MIS should indicate which programs most deserve financial assistance from the state. It is a way of providing more accountability at the state level, while maintaining local control within the various school districts. The current project will also determine what information about federal programs currently exists that would be helpful to school management agencies on the local, state and national levels. When completed, the MIS will be field tested in a number of other states. The MIS package is being developed with the cooperative assistance of Memphis State University and the University ol Alabama. Abbott and Myers are scheduled to meet with the other four committee members in Montgomery, Alabama in February. Services grant awarded art museum Statewide Services at the University Museum of Art has received $7,960 for continuation of its Artist-Workshop program and its annual Statewide Services open competition. The grant was awarded by the Oregon Arts Commission, with the University and the Friends of the Museum providing jointly matching funds. About $3,060 has been earmarked for the Artist-Workshop program through which established artists make one-day visits to Oregon community arts groups, discussing their work, demonstrating techniques or conducting field trips. About $4,000 has been designated for the Statewide Services second annual competition (previously known as the Pre-Pak Awards). Through the open competition four artists will be selected to submit work to be included in the traveling art exhibitions which are sent to Oregon community arts groups on request. The remainder of the funds will help defray publication costs of the annual prospectus. Announcement of the grant is made by Antonio Diez, acting assistant director of the museum in charge of Statewide Services.
