Approve motion for minor,
no Measure 3, senate says
The University Senate recommended
approval of a motion granting a formal minor in a
unanimous vote with one abstention during its
Wednesday meeting
The Senate made no amendments to the
motion presented by Joseph Hynes, associate
dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, but
asked questions to clarify the intent of the motion
The motion allows any degree-granting
program to establish a program for a formal
minor, which would be noted on student
transcripts It requires 24 hours minimum with 15
hours of upper division credit minimum for the
minor
The motion also allows the individual
department to determine whether it wants to offer
a minor program and if it does, the actual courses
required and grading option
"The most pragmatic reason to have a formal
minor program is to structure a second pack of
study in addition to the major," said Hynes
Marliss Strange, associate director of
Academic Advising and Student Services, urged
the Senate to support the measure because
students with multiple areas of study get jobs
faster, serves as a useful guideline for students in
designating specific courses in a minor and would
help recruiting efforts when prospective students
look at the type of options available at the
University
No one expressed alarm about the financial
implications of the motion involved in administra
tive and departmental paperwork and time to set
up the minor program, noted Senate chairer
Gerry Bogen
Dan Allen, chairer of Student University
Affairs Board, who abstained from voting, said he
was concerned about the possibility of certain
areas of high student interest, such as business
and computer science, not setting up a minor
program He said this would make the minor
program less valuable to students
The recommended action will be presented at
the Nov 3 meeting of the University Assembly,
In other business, the Senate unanimously
approved a statement opposing Measure 3
Our life blood depends on whether that
resolution is defeated. ' says Celeste Ulrich,
health physical education and recreation
representative And the public needs to recog
nize the Senate is not in favor of it."
BBC representatives ambushed
By Sandy Johnstone
Of the Emerald
An angry confrontation
erupted at an informational
presentation of two employees
of the British Broadcasting Cor
poration given Tuesday night at
the journalism school
After several inflamatory
comments from Ralph
McDonald, a Eugene United
Ireland Support Committee
representative, attacking the
objectivity and connecting the
BBC with British Intelligence
work, journalism school Dean
Everette Dennis told McDonald
he was going to eject him from
the meeting unless he
"observed some decorum
When McDonald responded
that it was a public meeting so
he had a right to stay, Dennis
requested that he quit insulting
the speakers
Susan Thelan, president of
Women in Communications
Inc., the group that sponsored
the event, had asked McDonald
earlier to stick to the topic most
of the participants in the ques
tion and answer session were
interested in, the role of women
in the BBC
In responding to McDonald's
questions. Peter Brooks, news
intake editor for the BBC. said

the BBC had never had any
direct dealings with British
Intelligence of which he was
aware He denied the assertion
the BBC is a spokesperson for
the British government and
asked that questions be based
on facts, not propaganda
"I was certainly on duty dur
ing most of the Falklands and
the only thing we were asked to
do is to delay military intel
ligence and troop movements
so Argentina would not find
out," said Brooks "I may live a
particularity sheltered life — but
I doubt it."
McDonald left the meeting
about mid way, which released
the tension that had been build
ing since his first question.
Pamela Creighton, duty
presentation organizer, who
was speaking at the time, inter
rupted herself to express relief
that he had left
The rest of the meeting dealt
with women in the BBC
Creighton explained the BBC
does not require formal
academic training for entry
level jobs, but that promotions
are based on experience and
quality
'It's lovely it they know what a
microphone is before they come
in It’s jolly nice.” laughed
Creighton, but she added
knowledge is not a prerequisite
when starting out
Both Brooks and Creighton
opposed affirmative action,
saying it ends up in tokenism
"It ruins the cause,” says
Creighton. “Women should
earn jobs by doing what women
can do already Then (under
affirmative action) women never
know if they are as good as the
next man or a token woman.”
Brooks did say a career in the
newsroom is tough on women
because of the number of hours
put in and the pressure
"Rubbish,” responded
Creighton. She says men worry
about women not being able to
take the hard work and the long
hours. Then if women do keep
up she says men are afraid
.they’ll be “more like the boys
than the boys."
