Four departments to offer Pacific Rim classes
Thanks to a grant from the
U.S. Department of Education,
the University will expand
course offerings concerning
the Pacific Rim, a huge area
which includes countries
bordering the Pacific Ocean.
Courses relating to issues of
diversification, specialization
and trade in the Pacific Basin
will be coordinated by four
deparments and schools within
the University, says Clarence
Thurber, a political science pro
fessor who also directs the In
ternational Studies Program.
“In general, these courses
will deal with the strategic pro
blems that new relationships of
international trade and culture
will pose for the economy of
Oregon and the Pacific Nor
thwest over the coming
decade,” Thurber says.
“Another indicator of stu
dent interest in the Pacific Rim
is the increasing number of
business students taking
Japanese and Chinese.”
The economics department,
journalism school, college of
business administration and in
ternational studies program
will implement courses ranging
from an international manage
ment business class to a jour
nalism class on reporting
Pacific Basin affairs.
The grant has been
negotiated and an award
should begin July 1, Thurber
says. The first grant will be
$40,000 and will be renewed
yearly for the same amount if
Congress appropriates the
funds.
The grant is the international
studies program’s second from
the U.S. Department of
Education.
Educator gets journalism honor
Willard Thompson, a nationally known
advertising educator, has been named Ruhl
Distinguished Professor of Journalism at the
University for winter term 1984.
Professor of journalism and mass com
unication at the University of Minnesota and
former head of that university’s advertising pro
gram, Thompson will be in residence for three
months at the University’s school of jour
nalism. He will teach two courses and give
several special lectures.
Thompson, who is president of the
American Academy of Advertising, taught at
the University from 1952 to 1960 and also serv
ed as the director of university relations and
assistant to then President O. Merdith Wilson.
Thompson went to Minnesota when
Wilson took the presidency there. He served as
dean of extension as well as director of the
summer session, a post he still holds. He is
considered a national leader in the field of con
tinuing education.
The Ruhl professorship is made possible
by an endowment given to the University by the
late Robert Ruhl and Mabel Rulh of Medford,
long-time owners of the Medford Mail-Tribune.
The endowment sponsors an annual sym
posium on media ethics and press performance
at the University as well as professional
residencies by newspaper executives.
“Willard Thompson is a distinguished
leader in the field of advertising education and
a gifted teacher,” says Everette Dennis, jour
nalism school dean.
Thompson has worked in advertising for
the Batten, Barten, Durstine & Osburn agency,
and was a newspaper reporter for two dailies in
Illinois as well as president and general
manager of a broadcast company.
His teaching career began at the Universi
ty of Illinois where he earned his doctorate. He
also taught at the University of Oklahoma as
well as at Minnesota and Oregon.
State seeks dorm input
The State Board of Higher Education will discuss and hold
a hearing on proposed changes in dormitory and food service
charges at their meeting Friday at 10:30 a.m in the EMU Dad s
Room.
The proposed adoption calls for a 5.6 percent rate increase
for a single room at the University Inn, but the University will not
change other existing dormitory rates, according to a state
board document. However, the standard 20-meal plan will be cut
to 19 meals per week if the proposal is adopted.
This amendment would affect each state university dif
ferently. At OSU a new 15-meal plan would cost students as
much as the existing 19-meal plan. Next year’s 19-meal plan will
be $82 more expensive.
The proposed adoption would increase residence hall and
food service rates at several other state universities from 2 per
cent at Southern Oregon State College to a possible 9 percent at
the Oregon Health Sciences University.
A|so on the state board’s docket Friday will be the propos
ed lease of Condon School (at 17th and Alder) from the Eugene
4-J School District to the University. The school district decided
Condon School would be "surplus” after June 30, 1983.
