Florice Walker names assistant Last Monday the ASUO added a new ad ministrative assistant to its list of officers. Her name is Florice Walker. Her job involves advising the ASUO executive working with Student Education Programs (formerly the Office of Supportive Services), the Ethnic Studies Program, (he ASUO budget, and various student Unions. “I’m trying to investigate the problems with the student education programs,” she said. The recent debate over the centralization of the Office of Supportive Services has caused problems for the ASUO. Walker will be ‘‘acting as a mediator and talking to different people in the projects.” By BARBARA COLEMAN Of the Emerald “I’m trying to find out what the situation is and then resolve some of the conflicts. There is quite a bit of tension between the ethnic groups,” she said. Bill Wyatt, AS 1)0 President, says he is pleased with her work. “We needed one person to have the responsibility for, and be able to communicate with the parties of interest,” Wyatt said in reference to Student Educational Projects. “She’s not connected with any of the projects and she has no political ties with anyone,” Wyatt said. In addition, Wyatt said, Walker had experience working with “Action,” a minority program at Linfield College, from which she graduated. The position which Walker fills now was designed to work with minority students, said Wyatt. Walker has a Bachelor of Science degree from Linfield College in Home Economics. She is at tending the University in a Masters program in Public Affairs Administration, under CSPA. Working for the ASUO, she said, “really satisfies my needs, because it will complement my Home Economies background and give me experience in government for working with consumer problems in different government agencies.” Walker said she would “like to help relieve the conflict^ind tension that are going on within the different programs and get more student input into the changes made in the programs (Student Educational Programs). Along this line, Walker said, an Advisory Board has been set up to work with the Student Educational Program. The Advisory Board will consist of members from the four different ethnic groups (Native American, Chicano, Black and White) and six members of the faculty. The Ad visory Board will be “evaluating current projects and making plans for redesigning the programs,” she said. “I hope it will be done more in student interest” than has been the case in the past. Walker also said that she hopes to find a solution to the problems of the Native Americans in her job. “I’m concerned for Native American Students who will be coming here in the future,” she said. In addition to the Student Educational Programs, Walker will be working with various student unions at the University. Next week, she said, will be oc cupied with looking over the Student Unions’ con stitutions for any discrepancies to prevent other situations such as that which recently occurred within the Foreign Student Organization (FSO). The FSO elections were declared unconstitutional and their budget frozen by the ASUO. Walker will also be working with Wyatt on the ASUO budget for next year. She said they were looking for other funding than raising student in cidental fees. She will be preparing a proposal to the state legislature, along with Wyatt, in order to find other means of financial support for the ASUO.
