Edrth Wogk Continued >rom Page 1 The two estimate they have worked about 50 hours a week during the last month, but the planning has taken months. “Last term we were getting so excited about Earth Week and trying to wind up all these details that when it came time to take vacation, we were almost glad not to have the distraction of school so we could just concentrate on what we wanted to do," Franklin says. Getting speakers took a lot of their time. Franklin says landing the mostly famous authors and journalists “seemed like a real longshot” at first. “When it actually comes together, you’re still not believing and then when you see it on the poster you realize that it’s actually happening," she says. The center workers cailed about 20 possible speakers, so those longshot calls required a lot of group effort, Kapuscin ski says. One event is a film on acid rain. The U.S. Justice Depart ment classified the Canadian documentary as foreign pro paganda, which means the ad ministration keeps a list of people and organizations us ing the film. “We’re just trying to acquire a film that has environmental information in it, and the Sur vival Center — a student group — is now on a dissemination list,” Franklin says. “Think what that means in the context for our democra cy,” she says. Both students also spent time in Europe, where they realized the importance of a healthy environment. “When I was in Germany, I was amazed about how much i had never realty appreciated the beauty of Oregon,’* Franklin says. The two world wars fought there have left the country heavily industrialized and sad looking, she says. "It’s really easy ior us in America — because we are so separated from the rest of the world by oceans and by culture and tradition — not to perceive some of the really horrible things that are going on in the rest of the world,” Franklin says. Games children play confirm sexual stereotypes Barrie Thorne, speaking on “Girls and Boys Together But Mostly Apart: Gender Ar rangements in Elementary Schools,” drew on two field studies in elementary schools, one in California and the other in Michigan, to point out dif ferences in the world of boys and girls. Beginning in the second and third grade, boys are organized into larger groups Correction In an story in Wednes day's Emerald headlined “Negative evaluations may cause teacher bias, law students say,” Mark Kelly, a member the cur riculum committee, was mistakenly identified as Mark Wilson. where relations are defined in terms of contest and competi tion, Thorne said. The usual metaphor used to describe groups of boys, Thorne said, is “team" or “gang.” On the other hand, girls tend to form smaller, more in tense and exclusive groups. While girls do have a hierar chical structure, it is based more on shifting alliances than a structured pecking order. Another striking difference, Thorne said, is in the game playing of both sexes. Girls tend to play more “symetrical games” like hopscotch and jump rope, where there is a format of tak ing turns. Boys tend towards team-oriented games where direct competition is involved. Thorne also discussed the impact of gender on typical childhood games like “cooties,” “chase and kiss” and other chase games. Some occasions of cross sex interaction occur when there is an absorbing task with limited resources, like an art project or a class project, she said. Cross gender games of kickball or jump rope are more likely to occur if an adult sets the structure for the event, Thorne said. Political science professor hospitalized University political science professor Har mon Zeigler was admitted to Sacred Heart General Hospital Wednesday afternoon after he apparently fainted during a meeting with political science faculty, according to a hospital official. Zeigler, who is the head of the political science department, was chairing a faculty meeting when he complained of being tired, said a professor who was attending the meeting. He then asked someone else to take over the meeting and after about 15 minutes left the room and apparently collapsed. Zeigler was in stable condition and undergoing heart monitoring and testing later Wednesday. He was transferred from intensive care to the progressive cardiac unit.
