€t al • • • Spring get-together slated The sociology department will hold a “spring get-together” Tues day at 3:30 p.m. in 204 Condon. According to Dick Gale, a sociology associate professor, the meeting will consist of informal discussion between sociology undergrads and every faculty member concerning proposed major requirements, something the sociology department currently does not have. The requirements would include a research methods course and a social theory course, according to Gale. Also covered at the meeting will be the possibility of the department hiring some new professors. Current faculty members are seeking input on what areas of specialization the department should attempt to fill with new professors. Caale expects the turnout to the get-together to be large, as cider and donuts will be served. Education discussion set Richard Fehnel, director of the Non-traditional Learners in Post secondary Education Project, under the sponsorship of the Oregon Educational Coordinating Commission, will address the Democratic Forum at noon today at the Asia Gardens restaurant, 44 E. Seventh Ave. The topic of his discussion will be “The Changing Character of Higher Education in the United States and Oregon.” Fehnel will specifi cally discuss the conditions which are leading to rapid changes in the nature of education at this University and elsewhere. He will present a number of alternatives which institutions of higher education have adopted in response to these changes.

The self-trained archaeologist and founder of the University’s an thropology department and Museum of Natural History has compiled a “prehistory” of far western North America. The book, entitled “Prehistory of the Far West,” traces ancient people and cultures in the area between about 13,000 years ago and the arrival of white explorers and settlers in the early part of the 19th century. The work is the first book-length “synthesis” of the prehistory of far-western North America, ac cording to University anthropol ogy professor C. Melvin Aikens. Cressman, 79, who retired from full-time teaching in 1963 and was later named emeritus professor of anthropology, came to the Uni versity in 1929 from a college teaching job in New York. He re ceived a doctorate in sociology from Columbia University in 1925.

V Local boat slips open Applications for boat slips at Baker Bay on Dorena Reservoir are now being accepted by the Lane County Parks Division. Boat slips will be assigned by lottery. Interested boaters have until April 22 to apply to the the County Parks Division. Application forms may be mailed to boaters. Requests should be forwarded to the Parks Office at 125 East 8th Ave. in the County Public Service Building. Application forms will automatically be sent to last year’s slip holders, but they will not receive any preference for slips. / Only three boat slips remain open at Lowell Park on Dexter Lake. Applicants may contact the marina operator in Lowell at 937-3574 for information. The water level at Dexter is expected to provide a full season of operation for the county park facility. Boat slips at Orchard Point and Richardson on Fem Ridge may be let at the end of April if normal rainfall levels are received. If rainfall is normal through May, the Corps of Engineers estimates the lake will fill to 81 per cent of capacity or about 371 feet. That would produce an estimated 6.5 feet of water in the marina. However, irrigation begins in May and will result in lowering the water level which may cause the Parks Division to issue slips on a month-to-month basis. Boaters who held slips last year at the two parks’ marinas on Fem Ridge will be given preference for slips this year. The Parks Division will not be accepting applications for Fem Ridge slips unti I further notice. Nursery taking applicants The First Methodist Church Cooperative Nursery School is now taking applications for a tuition scholarship for a child to begin in its class for three-year-olds in September.

Attendence at a monthly even ing meeting is also required. The scholarship will be awarded on the basis of financial need, parents’ willingness to be part of a co-op and parents’ interest in and commitment to this type of pre-school experience.
