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.

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.

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.
