    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.”

“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.
