Exxon grant fuels global issues study
The International Studies
Program has received a
$104,000 grant from the Exxon
Education Foundation for a
study on global perspectives
and issues
The funds will support the
development of three courses
on the subdivisions of global
studies: population and re
sources, developed and
developing nations and world
civilizations.
Program director Clarence
Thurber defined global studies
as the “systematic inquiry into
the series of overlapping sys
tems that characterize the world
of this and coming decades,”
including world political, econ
omic and social systems.
The program solicited the
private support to serve the
program's rapidly growing
enrollment. “The unexpectedly
widespread student demand tor
the new major has created an
urgent need for further course
development,’’ Thurber says.
Currently there are 40 majors
in the program. Enrollment is
expected to exceed 100 in the
next several years.
The grant also will be used by
the College of Arts and
Sciences and College of
Education, Thurber said.
LTD offers free rides
Lane Transit District patrons
will be able to ride the bus for
free Saturday as part of a transit
day promoting alternative
transportation available in the
Eugene/Springfield area.
In addition to offering free
rides, LTD will hold a community
transit fair at Lane County Fair
grounds Auditorium from 10
a m. to 4 p.m.
The fair will showcase possi
ble route changes being con
sidered by the district to help
cut operating costs and improve
service.
The changes would take ex
isting “loop” routes — those
which loop through different
neighborhoods — and convert
them to “line” routes where
buses would double back on the
same streets. Officials have said
the line routes would be
cheaper to operate and easier
to adjust to varying ridership
demand.
The fair also will feature LTD’s
new buses equipped with
wheelchair lifts for the han
dicapped.
To further help the han
dicapped, the district has pur
chased a TTY machine to
provide hearing impaired peo
ple with scheduling information.
The machine — similar to a
video display terminal — allows
hearing impaired persons with
access to another TTY to call
the district about bus
schedules.
