Ramey named housing director until position filled permanently By Aleta Zak Of ttw Emarald Marjory Ramey, assistant University hous ing director, will become acting director this summer until the position is filled permanently next year, Pres. Paul Olum announced at a press conference Friday. Ramey replaces Dan Williams, who left the postion to take over as vice president for ad ministration on July 1. Ramey will serve as housing director while helping to select and train the new director. “I think it will be great fun and a challenge,” Ramey said Thursday. "Dan Williams is leaving things in very good shape for me.” Ramey said she will not apply for the per manent position and plans to return to her assistant director position after the director takes over. The search for a permanent director will begin in late fall, said Williams. During the summer, the department will hire three student assistants to assume Ramey’s duties in public relations and arrang ing summer conferences. She will redistribute the workload among department staff next fall. “I don’t see any radical changes in the future for the department. We’ll just continue to serve the students the best way we can.” Classes offered on Pacific Rim The journalism and business schools, the economics department and the inter national studies program will offer new courses on Pacific Rim studies next year with a grant from the U S. Department of Education. The courses will focus on the relation ship between the Pacific Northwest and countries in the Pacific Rim says Prof. Clarence Thurber, director of the Interna tional studies program. Possible courses range from a business course on international manage ment and strategy to a journalism course on reporting Pacific Basin news. Williams said he has complete confidence in Ramey’s ability to be “a forceful and creative interim director of the department.” Olum also announced overall admissions for next fall are down 5 percent for the same period last year, but new student admissions are up 6.5 percent. "If this trend continues, we should be at the same level of new students next year as we have this year,” he said. Olum attributed the rising new student enrollment to increased publicity about the University's high quality academic programs. The new admissions standards, approved by the State Board of Higher Education last week, won’t decrease enrollment at the Univer sity, Olum said. “I think the high school students will be better trained, and this could help add to our admissions,” he said. Olum said he would favor adding a foreign language requirement to the requirements, which now include four years of English, three years of math, three years of social studies, two years of science and two years of other approv ed college preparatory courses. Olum said such a requirement could give students the option to take one of the years of foreign language at the University. ASUO personnel shuffled in and out Laurel Singer, ASUO co-coordinator of stu dent events, resigned from that position to take a graduate teaching fellow counseling position with the Crisis Center. The resignation makes Bill Snyder ASUO coordinator of student events.

Singer will volunteer time during the sum mer to help the student events’ office get organized for the 1983-84 school year. The resignation marks the first personnel change in the Mary Hotchkiss administration. Former ASUO Pres. C.J. Balfe's administration had 10 staff resignations and one dismissal.
