Senate moves to separate j
linguistics Ph.D. program
The University's linguistics
department took the first step
toward approving a transfer of its
doctoral program from the
English department into the lin
guistics department at a meeting
of the University Senate
Wednesday afternoon The
Senate approved a recommenda
tion to the University Assembly
without a dissenting vote and two
abstentions
The program will join the exist
ing undergraduate and master's
degree without adding any addi
tional faculty, staff or costs
The department was formed in
1976 when faculty were taken
from the English and romance
languages departments and the
program has offered BAs and
MAs since 1971. The Ph D., how
ever, was still retained in the
English department
"This is the last step in pulling
out of the English department,"
said Collette Craig, an associate
professor. Craig presented the
proposal to about 35 people at the
meeting.
"Because the degree is in the
English department, the students
have to conform to some English
requirements that may not be
necessary,” Craig said. Of the
five candidates only one’s
dissertation has to do with
English, she added.
"On paper, the degree is from
us,” Craig said, "but in effect it’s
handled by the English
department.”
"This will avoid the double layer
of administration.”
Some of the senate members
expressed concern that "no-cost
transfers,” in the past, have
ended up with a substantial price
tag It was decided that no
guarantee could be made against
incurring costs.

beaches should be open or closed year-round
On March 20, Wood said, a state police
officer from Florence did a radar speed check for
1V? hours on the South Jetty Beach The tide was
high and about 500 people were on the beach,
Wood said This figure brought instantaneous
laughter from the many ORV enthusiasts in the
room
The officer. Wood continued, found most of
the 15 ORVs he clocked traveling at 35 mph, with
one at 50 mph. one at 60 mph and one at 65 mph
The speed limit is 25 mph, he said
Thomas Hedgepeth, Umpqua port commis
sioner, said too many hikers can be just as
harmful as ORVs Aesthetics is another point of
disagreement, he said “I don't believe I have the
right to tell someone not to drive because I don’t
like tire tracks Maybe he doesn’t iike to see
footprints "
Evelyn Trumbo spoke to both sides With
more people, beach management is necessary,
but putting down others by laughing, interrupting
and name-calling will not bring about that goal,
Trumbo said
We re not gonna get there by yelling at
each other "
