University administrative move saves money, CSPA classes It may seem unlikely that ad ding a new department would save the University money, but that's precisely what happened when the University created the Department of Planning, Public Policy and Management The classes offered by the department aren't new — only the name and the savings to the University are About two-thirds of PPPM s 78 classes come from the Wal lace School of Community Ser vice and Public Affairs, which the University suspended in July in a move to "reduce adminis tration overhead and save money, says Dean Runyan, PPPM department head The school was created in 1967 with funds given by Lila Acheson Wallace. University alumna and co-founder of Readers Digest magazine That administrative move saved the University $128,696 according to Ralph Sunderland, University budget director Classes from the public policy portion of the suspended CSPA merged with the previous Department of Urban and Regional Planning to become the new PPPM, which serves about 200 students this term The new department retained the Lawrence Hall offices of the planning department, which was a part of the School of Ar chitecture and Allied Arts "We re very optimistic in PPPM This marriage has a lot of potential and will enrich the re sources available to students," Runyan says The new PPPM offers two master's programs — one in Ur ban Planning, the other in Pub lic Affairs About 50 students in each of the two graduate degree pro grams are preparing for careers in planning, policy or man agement in public, private or non-profit, or private sector or ganizations. says Runyan All of the department s classes are upper division, and only a few do not offer graduate credit The department also offers courses beneficial to students from other disciplines The courses complement offerings in various departments, especially science, social science and other professional schools, says Runyan "We don't anticipate overall growth in faculty and in the department in the near future, because of the overall University situation, says Run yan Departments aren t growing right now — we don't feel we re any different What we may be seeing is a change in the mix of courses rather than an increase in the number of courses Knife ruled out in dormitory fight A non-dorm resident" carrying a knife got into a fight with a dorm resident in the Walton residence hall complex Tuesday night, according to Eugene Police Depart ment officials Officer Gary Elliott said that there were punches thrown" in the altercation, which resulted in a split lip for one of the par ticipants Elliot said he believed the non dorm" resident did have a knife in his pos session, but added that he was "not sure it it was used in a menacing manner The fight, which brought two EPD squad cars to campus at about 11 30 p m , involved "blows from fists," Elliott said, but contrary to rumor, there was no stabbing No cause for the fight was given by the EPD No citations had been issued as of Friday, although the matter is still under investigation.
