Childcare battle ends Non-smokers get Fishbowl space By PAUL TELLES 01 the Emerald In a surprise move, the EMU Board voted Monday night to establish a non-smoking area in the newly-renovated EMU Fish bowl. Beginning Feb 1, smoking will be allowed only on the west elevated platform and in the ad joining floor-level seats. How ever, the board plans to review public comment and evaluate the plan at the end of winter quarter. Originally, house committee chairer Kyle McGuinn asked only that the board decide if a non-smoking area is necessary and recommend further study to determine the boundary between the two areas. The motion to establish the temporary arrangement passed by a 7-0 vote. In other business, the board moved to resolve the eight month-old battle over parent control of the University’s two childcare centers by approving a governance document sub mitted by parents at the Child Care and Development Center. The document, formulated at parent meetings during the past four months, establishes a Pa rent Council to make policy for the center and to assist the professional staff in day-to-day administration. Modeled after the board, the council will be composed of representatives from the var ious interest groups in the center. It will consist of two student parents from each of the center’s houses, one teach ing staff member elected by the teaching staff, one training staff member and one representative of the non-student parents. The board considered requir ing a minority representative, but tabled the matter for further study after EMU Director Adell McMillan, a non-voting member of the board, said she thought there is a legal precedent mili tating against requiring minority representation on a policy-mak ing body. The document also estab lishes a grievance procedure for parents and staff. The center’s admissions and termination policies were also left unformulated, as sections of the document relating to those matters were deleted pending promulgation of official rules by the University administration. The admissions policy written Career program goes to work Students will have the opportunity to explore local career choices by visiting companies through "Afternoon on the Job," a new program sponsored by the Career Planning and Placement Service. Six job outings are planned for winter term: Frederick and Nelson, Jan. 29; First National Bank of Oregon, Feb. 5; Eugene Register-Guard, Feb. 12; Burroughs Corp., Feb. 19; Jean Tate Real Estate, Feb. 26; and Weyerhaeuser Co., March 4 Fifteen students will tour each of the com panies. After returning to campus, the group will spend 15 minutes discussing the outing and suggesting improvements, says program coor dinator Debbie Chereck. Speakers at the companies will try to elabor ate on aspects of their businesses the public may not be aware of, says Chereck. "We ask the company representatives to paint a realistic picture of what’s happening in their business. They don’t expect to gloss any body over. Many will be enthusiastic about their jobs, but some may not.” The program is not designed for recruiting, says Chereck, but students can make valuable contacts. “They can also become more competitive in the job market when they begin to pound the pavement." When they register for the program, students will receive an information packet that describes the scope of the business and lists job opportuni ties and general questions that students may want to ask a company representative. All of the outings, except Weyerhaeuser, will be scheduled on Thursdays Sign-up for each outing will begin on Monday of that week in Room 246, Susan Campbell Hall. Transportation is provided by CPPS. Campus poll shows changing attitudes When it comes to working mothers and fathers, University men hold more liberal views than their female counterparts, according to the latest campus poll commissioned by Olympia beer. University students also ap parently believe that their chances of staying married are pretty good and that sexual fidelity is still “very important” in a marriage. According to the poll, fewer than one man in five — 19.2 percent — believes a mother should stay home to raise chil dren when a couple decides to start a family. On the other hand, nearly a third — 31.3 percent — of the women polled believe women should forego careers in favor of caring for offspring. However, more than 52 per cent of all University students polled felt neither parent should give up a career to take care of children. Almost 25 percent felt the mother should stay home and more than 16 percent had no opinion. No matter who works and who stays home, 46 percent of students polled said their chances of staying married to one person are very good, while 26 percent were willing to de scribe their chances as "good." Should a divorce take place, however — and should a wealthy woman leave her hus band — almost half of the students polled believe the hus band should collect alimony. About 25 percent said the man should not receive alimony, and a similar portion had no opinion. University students believe that faithfulness to one’s spouse is critical to a marriage, the poll says. More than half of all those polled said sexual fidelity is very important to a marriage while more than one-third felt it is at least somewhat important. SKI SALE!
