Architectural convocation set
Hult Center’s ‘movement through space’ topic
By Melissa Martin
Of lh* Emerald
The Hult Center for the Performing Arts
and its relationship to the "way the human
body moves through space” is the focus for an
architecture conference this weekend in
Eugene.
A 45-member student group from the
University architecture school is hosting three
days of tours, lectures, a field trip and a dance
beginning today.
Architecture majors and non-majors may
attend the events, says Don Logue, conference
chairman and vice-president of Associated Stu
dent chapter of the American Institute of
Architecture.
Logue encourages "anyone slightly in
terested in architecture” to attend. The cost is
$5.
Non-majors who come to conference ac
tivities can look at buildings through architec
tural eyes and see a relationship between peo
ple and the way buildings are constructed, he
says.
"Architecture is based on a simple insight
— the way people move through space,” Logue
says.
Logue expects more than 250 people from
Montana State, University of Idaho, University
of Washington, Washington State, Portland’s
new Oregon School of Design and the Universi
ty to attend the regional event.
"This is the first time since 1975 that the
University of Oregon has been able to host the
regional conference,” he says.
The weekend's focus will be on the Hult
Center’s positive aspects, such as its
acoustics and the negative aspects, such as
the “atrocious exterior," Logue says.
"At the time the center was built, it had the
best acoustics in the country,” he says.
Hult Center site architect Jerry McDonnell
will share first-hand experience in the perform
ing art center’s Green Room at 12 p.m., Friday.
McDonnell flew in from New York with the
center's designing firm, Hardy, Holzman, Pfeif
fer and decided to stay in Eugene. He is now an
adjunct professor teaching a design studio in
the architecture school 15 hours each week.
Other famous architects such as Alvar
Aalto, who designed only two buildings in his
lifetime, will be indirectly involved in the perfor
ming arts conference.
Sunday’s field trip will start with Aalto’s
Mt. Angel Library, a monastery near Salem.
The tour will also include Michael Grave’s
Portland Public Service Building, a “controver
sial” creation, says Logue.
"It is a brand new style — post modern,”
Logue says.
The conference’s academic setting
changes scenes Saturday at 9 p.m. with the
Beaux Arts Balls, a costume event that Logue
calls “the biggest party that will happen this
year on campus."
University panel condemns apartheid
A panel of experts including
a University sociology pro
fessor and a state represen
tative discussed the apartheid
government of South Africa
Thursday night before a group
of about 40.
Professor Val Burris first ex
plained the system of apar
theid, saying it is "not just a
system of racial discrimina
tion or racial segregation.”
Black Africans are “defined
as visitors in their own coun
try" if they are in white ter
ritory and must carry a pass
that police can demand at any
time, he said.
David Glauber, a white
University of Washington stu
dent who was raised in South
Africa, praised former Pres.
Jimmy Carter for openly
criticizing the racist South
African government.
"No matter how people feel
about president Carter and no
matter how people feel that he
may have embarrassed the
United States with his handl
ing of Iran..he did have a
very strong human rights
policy and he directed it pretty
harshly in South Africa and it
was effective,” Glauber said.
He condemned Pres.
Ronald Reagan for supporting
the South African government.
Reagan interrupted an im
provement in U.S. awareness
of apartheid, Glauber said.
"Companies were beginn
ing to divest, universities were
divesting in South Africa,
Polaroid pulled out of South
Africa, McDonald's wasn't
able to open up chains. Things
were happening.
"But in November, 1980,
something very cheerful for
the South African government
happened. President Reagan
was elected. And as you’ve
heard, President Reagan is a
good friend of the South
African government,” Glauber
said.
Rep. Carl Hosticka, D
Eugene, discussed a recently
defeated bill in the Oregon
House which would have re
quired divestment of all
Oregon funds in South Africa.
Hosticka sponsored the bill.
Despite the bill’s defeat, its
consideration is a good sign,
Hosticka said. Thursday’s
panel should be considered
the beginning of a campaign
for a similar bill in the next
session, he said.
