CSPA school suffers suspension
Dean’s office
fully expelled

As expected, none of the people
affected by $304,000 worth of budget
cuts announced during finals week are
happy about them, but most seem re
signed that the deficit had to be filled
from somewhere in the already scant
budget
"I deeply regret the necessity to su
spend CSPA as a free-standing
professional school," read a prepared
statement from Ken Tollenar, acting
dean of CSPA. "However, it’s important
to understand that all existing CSPA
courses and degree programs will
continue even though the faculty are
being moved administratively to other
schools.”
The department of public adminis
tration in CSPA will be combined with
the Urban and Regional Planning
department in architecture. The com
munity service faculty will join the
health, physical education and recrea
tion school
While most of the department heads
are as equally distressed as Tollenar
about the administrative cutbacks,
most are at least relieved that the
courses and services will continue.
John Orbell, head of the Institute for
Social Science Research, says that the
the institute is being eliminated but not
the services that the institute provides.
"We'll maintain our databank holdings
and our membership in the Inter
University Consortium for Political and
Social Research," Orbell says
"With the Reagan budget cuts we
had already started into a vicious
downward spiral, he says "There is just
less justification for us to stay.”
Orbell adds that graduate students
will still be able to do research but
without the help of the institute
The Environmental Studies Center
got the boot also but according to
director Terry Brown, the only thing
that will be lost is a classified staff
position, the rest of the study center will
remain. “It’s just a pile of books and a
room," Brown says
Jon Kahananui, the University Archi
tect, has also been cut to make up
budget deficits His office was elimin
ated completely because there is no

ongoing capital construction and ac
cording to University Provost Richard
Hill, the budget situation points to little
construction in the next tew years.
“I’m sorry the University is getting rid
of this position regardless of capital
construction,” Kahananui says. “Even
if it's me or anybody else, the University
needs to have an architect."
Kahananui isn't sure what he’ll do
after the end of the fiscal year in July
when his position will be eliminated. "I
was planning on retiring in March,
maybe I'll just retire sooner," he says.
Kahananui has been at his present
position for the past 10 years.
A total of 6.37 full-time equivalent
faculty and teaching fellowship posi
tions were cut and 4.50 FTE classified
staff positions eliminated Most of the
budget items that were eliminated or
suspended will not severely change
curriculums.

Museum plans ‘Blazer’ raffle to stay open
By the News Bureau
For tho Emoratd
Two activities are planned in
April to raise money to keep the
University natural history mu
seum open and active, accord
ing to Richard Pettigrew, ar
chaeologist at the University
and fund-raising coordinator.
A lecture discussion on crea
tionism and Darwinism is
scheduled for April 19. The mu
seum is also raffling off tickets
to the Portland Trail Blazers
Seattle Supersonics basketball
game April 18.
On the 100th anniversary of
Darwin s death, April 19. a lec
ture discussion titled "100
Years after Darwin — Why
Darwinism?" will be held at 7:30
p.m. at the Geology Building,
Room 150 Tickets — $3 each —
are available at the EMU Main
Desk and at the door
University Pres. Emeritus
Robert Clark will moderate the
program
The museum is also offering a
chance to win a weekend for
two in Portland including din
ner, hotel accommodations,
brunch and two tickets to the
Blazers game. Chances are of
fered for a donation of $1 each.
The dinner will be at the East
bank Saloon and overnight ac
commodations will be at the
Cosmopolitan Hotel on Satur
day, April 17. Sunday brunch
will be at the Benson Hotel. The
game is Sunday afternoon.
To obtain one or more
chances, stop by the museum in
the science complex at the
University or send a check
made out to the University of
Oregon Foundation along with
name, address and telephone
number to Blazer Raffle, Mu
seum of Natural History,
University of Oregon, Eugene,
OR 97403.
The museum was slated for
closure June 30 in a round of
budget cuts made last fall. The
museum and its supporters are
trying to raise $34,000 to keep
the museum open and to con
tinue the new exhibits and
projects underway. That
amount covers costs for a dir
ector, part-time secretary, part
time exhibit coordinator and
work-study assistants.
If less money is raised, a
reduced level of services will be
offered.
The museum has received al
most $5,000 in donations as well
as a pledge from an anonymous
donor to match all contributions
up to $15,000. This puts the
museum almost one-third of the
way toward its goal.
Among the gifts are two
$1,000 scholarships from the
University Mothers' Club for
students who will work at the
museum next year.

fund-raising effort, call Petti

seum at 686-3024.
