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.
