P.E. department places
fifth in national survey
By CHARLENE BELL
Of the Emerald
A poll of the National Association for Physical
Education in Higher Education ranked the
University physical education department fifth in
excellence for the department's graduate and
doctoral degree programs
Compiled two years ago, the poll is part of a
report by Dr John Massengale of Eastern
Washington University
The rankings were not released until recently
because of the politically hot' nature of the
polling, says Michael Ellis, physical education
department head The poll marked the first effort
in the nation to determine the quality of profes
sional physical education programs
The publishers of Research Quarterly', a
journal for physical education and sports, were
afraid of insulting the rest of its membership that
had not placed in the national ranking, Ellis says
The University program had to wait until last
Easter for notice when Massengale presented his
report at a conference in Seattle he says
The rankings were based primarily on two
factors the institution's graduate program and
facilities, and the quality of research
Oregon was the first university west of the
Mississippi to offer professional physical educa
tion when it began the program in 1920 Since
then the denartment has had little trouble main
taining a national reputation for excellence, says
Dean Celeste Ulrich
"Among professionals in the field, the worth
of a physical education program is measured by
two things, its faculty and students," Ulrich
says. "Currently four of our faculty members serve
on the American Academy of Physical Education,
the most prestigious honorary physical education
organization in the nation Our reputation has
also drawn a large segment of international
students to our program "
While the ranking is old, but welcome, news
to the department, talks of program cuts force the
faculty to view the recognition with a utilitarian
perspective The department is planning a com
munity outreach program "In SHAPE," an
acronym for Sport, Health and Activity Equals
Personal Excellence
Faculty members will teach community
classes in various sports, activity and health
disciplines, using any profits to reduce physical
education costs for University student
"Let's not hide behind the fact that universi
ties are competing for student clients as well as
resources and grant monies We are most
interested in creating a competitive forum So
anything that makes it easier for you to compete is
something you should pay attention to In a real
sense, given this year of budget constraints, the
ranking is a motivator to do fewer things, better,"

West University neighborhood
considering ‘Woonerven’ plan
By RONNIE COHEN

"Crime is going to continue to rise in your
community until you get to know your neighbors
Troutdale's Police Chief George Haddock warned
the West University Neighbors Thursday night
Once neighbors know each other the com
munity will be less vulnerable to criminals.
Haddock said And WUN's plans to install
Woonerven — loosely translated from the Dutch,
"protected precincts" — in the high-crime
section between 13th and 18th Avenues, from
Patterson to High Streets, will help neighbors get
to know each other, he said
Woonerven are obstacles or landscaping
arrangements — trees, gardens, bike racks, water
fountains, ponds, and basketball courts for
example — which are strategically placed in
neighborhood gathering spots to slow automobile
traffic so cars don't rule the road, but share it with
bicyclists and pedestrians
The Dutch city of Delft built the first
Woonerven in 1976, and since then many West
European and American cities, including Seattle,
have installed them
Most members of the community panel and
neighbors who attended the meeting, said they
hope to see Woonerven throughout the
designated 15-block WUN area within the next
year or two WUN, which likes to spell the singular
form ot the concept — WUNerf— would use a
federal block grant to fund the project.
Woonerven provide social advantages,
Eugene City Council member Mark Lindberg told
the neighborhood gathering
There's a social advantage when you're
interacting with your neighbors instead of driving
around in little units," Lindberg said
People who know each other are automa
tically empowered "
However, before the community can reap the
benefits of Woonerven, it will have to sell the
concept to the planning department and the city
council The community will have to answer
questions determining who will be liable — the city
or private property owners — for the streets on
which Woonerven are built, panel member and
Public Works Planner Nathan Duke said
So far WUN has failed to enlist enough of the
neighborhood's residents — approximately 64
percent students — to develop the WUNerf
concept, Lindberg said Lindberg said he believes
that the key to the program s success will be in
organizing people who are willing to lobby for
Woonerven
Students who would like to join a committee
to work on the Woonerven concept can contact
