Five year plan in works
Eleven University faculty members have been
appointed to a long-range planning committee in
charge of academic planning for the next school
year
University Pres Paul Oium announced the
formation of the committee at his inauguration in
October. At that time, Olum also directed the
heads of all University departments and schools
to prepare statements indicating what direction
their programs should take in the next five years
and how educational quality can be improved
The committee, chaired by Bob Albrecht, vice
provost for academic affairs, will consolidate
each department and school's suggestions into a
comprehensive plan that will be presented to the
entire University community for discussion
Olum expects a report from the committee by
the end of winter term, Albrecht says
The main purposes of the group are to take a
look at consolidating departments and schools
into new schools, eliminating overlapping
courses and strengthening the University by
making further curricular and program changes,
Albrecht says.
In the process of arriving at those changes, the
committee will take a “broad look across the
University,” he says.
“It’s not a budget committee,” Albrecht
stresses. “It’s an academic planning committee.”
The group also will consider student concerns,
such as barriers that prevent students from com
bining courses in the way they want, he says,
adding that the invites comments from both
students and faculty
"There’s a lot of things we've not confronted
that we ll have to,” Albrecht says
In addition to Albrecht, committee members
include: math Prof Charles Curtis; law Prof. Linda
Greene; education Prof Robert Gilberts; art
Education head June McFee; english Prof. Bar
bara Mossberg; management Prof. Richard
Mowday; history Prof Stanley Pierson; University
Planner David Rowe; community service and
public affairs Prof Edward Weeks, and housing
director Dan Williams

Americans are facing crises
in petroleum and raw materials.
Hatfield said
"This is more than just a
bottle bill It is a teaching tool so
people become more conserva
tion-minded,” he said
Hatfield calls the bill a daily
reminder of waste problems
which would strike at the center
of a “throw-away lifestyle "
Opponents say the problem
of beverage container litter
should be resolved at the state
level
"This bill is another example
of legislation that is simply not
needed," says Warren O'Neil,
representative of National Can
Corporation
"Why go the very expensive
route of central government
when the problems can be
solved on the local level?"
Glass Packaging Institute op
poses a national bill also, but
fully endorses recycling efforts
on the state and industry level,
says Roger Bernstein, com
munications director of GPI
Because the minimum depo
sit law simply slaps a deposit on
beverage containers without
actually requiring recycling or
refillables, it does not go far
enough, Bernstein says
Transitional costs involved
with switching to a deposit sys
tem are also cited as arguments
against the bill
"I'm not saying there would
be no transitional costs in ad
justing to the new bill,” says
Hattfield "But any change from
the status quo will be hard If we
don't plan a change now, the
simple fact is that the energy
crisis will demand a change
down the road, perhaps more
costly "
There would be a two year
transitional period, Hatfield
says, but there would be off
setting costs to those involved
About 80,000 new jobs would
open up nationally during the
first year of enactment, accord
ing to a General Accounting
Office report drawn up at the
request or Senator Packwood,
Bernstein, however, cites
AFL-CIO figures arguing that
the bill would lay off 60,000
workers in the beverage con
tainer industry
“The 80,000 replacement
jobs are typically part-time po
sitions, sorting bottles and
such," Bernstein says
The trade-off from skilled to
unskilled labor is not good
policy, he says
Although Hatfield claims
Oregon's “remarkable suc
cess” with its bottle bill is help
ing the national crusade, some
opponents see Oregon as an
isolated case
"Oregon people have always
returned their containers," says
Forrest Gist, manager of Pepsi
Cola’s Salem branch “They
had an over 50 percent return
rate before the bottle bill was
ever enacted in 1972 "
“But you can't expect
Californians to return - they've
thrown away all their lives ”
