SUAB questions governance;
approves ASUO nominations
The Student University Affairs Board held its first
meeting of the term Tuesday and the major topic was
a strategy to counteract the proposal of the faculty
governance task force to reduce SUAB representa
tion in the faculty senate to eight members from its
present 18.
SUAB intends to lobby faculty members and in
troduce an amendment in the senate to protect the
current 36-18 ratio of faculty to students. The task
force proposal would create a 32-8 ratio.
All 18 students elected to serve SUAB in the
senate. Reducing the number of members in the
senate would both reduce student representation
and possibly force the ASUO to restructure the con
stitution to conform to the proposal, SUAB members
fear.
In other business, board member Lori Kleinsmith
was chosen by Chair Mike Prothe, after a board vote
produced a tie with Tom Birkland, to be nominated
University ad team
nabs second place
A team of University advertising students
placed second in the 10th annual American
Advertising Federation National Student
Competition.
Competing against 14 other teams, Tom
Danowski, Linnea Creenlund, Sharon O'Shea,
Lori Schrader and Dana Wade edged out teams
from Wisconsin and Florida in the national
contest earlier this summer in Washington,
D.C. A University of Georgia team won first
place.
"We were very happy to finish in the top five
schools," said Bob Taber, a journalism pro
fessor and team adviser.
General Foods, the 1983 contest sponsor,
asked student teams to direct a coffee promo
tion effort at young adults for Maxwell House
brands, Taber said. Contestants were judged
on the strength of a 20-minute slide presenta
tion, a 40 f>age research and marketing plan
and several television and radio commercials.
The University team's research found that
young adults associate coffee drinking with
the onset of adulthood. Their campaign slogan
became "Now it's up to you. Make it Maxwell
House."
National winners presented their marketing
plans to General Foods marketing executives
and representatives of its ad agency, Ogilvy &
Mather of New York. Winning teams received
plaques, and individuals received engraved
pewter mugs.
by SUAB as vice president of the senate.
Prothe was also elected to represent SUAB on the
Associated Student's President's Advisory Council
until the end of the term or the governance issue is
settled, whichever is longer.
The board also approved two executive appoint
ments made by ASUO Pres. Mary Hotchkiss over the
summer. Lisa Nuss was approved as a member of the
EMU board and Sheila Schain to the Incidental Fee
Committee.
Cultural festival set
"Fiesta de la Paz," billed by its sponsor the
Eugene Council for Human Rights in Latin America as
"a cultural festival for peace," will brighten the
University area October 6-7.
The festival will feature Latin American perform
ing artists, a street faire with Latin food and
folkwares, and a special exhibit of embroidered art
work from Chile called arpilleras (ar-pee-YAIR-uhs).
Beginning October 5, muralists from Chile and
Nicaragua will paint an original mural, especially
created for the fiesta, on the building that houses the
ECHRLA's offices at 1236 Kincaid Street.
Chilean poet, composer and author Patricio
Manns will perform in Beall Hall beginning at 8 p.m.
on Friday October 7.
Betty LaDuke, professor of art at Southern
Oregon State College, will discuss arpilleras in a
presentation and tour, "Embroideries of Life and
Death," beginning at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct.6, in
Room 167 of the EMU. LaDuke will also speak the
same day on new developments in Nicaraguan art in
a noon lecture, "Artists in Defense of the Revolu
tion," scheduled in the ECHRLA auditorium.
The street faire, featuring Latin American music,
food and folkwares, will take place from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m., Thursday and Friday, October 6 and 7, on the
lawn in front of the ECHRLA offices, due west of the
University Law School.
A lot of line
Waiting until the last minute to puchase textbooks can
prove to be a long mistake, as these students discovered
Tuesday. Long lines, lots of books, lots of lines and lots of
money changed hands as students packed into the
bookstore to puchase much-needed textbooks for class.
