New assistant
to start job
in state post
Former Los Angeles public
school administrator James
Payne has been named assistant
in student services for the
Oregon State System of Higher
Education Office of Academic
Affairs.
According to Clarethel
Kahananui, acting vice
chancellor for academic affairs,
one of Payne’s first tasks will be
to review programs and services
for minority and disadvantaged
students at Oregon’s institu
tions of higher learning.
“Dr. Payne believes all
students capable of pursuing a
college education ought to be
encouraged and prepared to do
so,” said Kahananui.
Payne was previously assis
tant principal of Marcus Garvey
Elementary and Junior High
School in Los Angeles. He has
also served as professor and
associate director of the Pan
African Studies Department at
California State University, Los
Angeles.
Payne received his doctorate
in comparative culture in 1975
from the University of Califor
nia, Irvine. He holds a master’s
degree in education (urban ad
ministration) from Harvard
University and a bachelor’s
degree in social science from
California State University, Los
Angeles.
Kahananui said Payne was
able to assume his new duties
immediately upon his being
hired to the position, which had
been vacant since January. He is
married and has two daughters.
The Paynes are already
somewhat familiar with
Oregon, Kahananui explained.

Center seeks mural
By Jacquie Long
Of the Emerald
The EMU Recreation Center
will display a much more color
ful video arcade by the end of
the summer.
According to Dexter Sim
mons, recreation center
manager, a mural will be
painted to cover the three walls
of the arcade that are now
blank.
“I’m interested in putting an
end to the drab and dreary in
stitutional look here, Sim
mons said.
Although an artist has not yet
been chosen to design the
mural, Simmons hopes the pro
ject will be started by July 10
and finished in early August.
The recreation center is now ac
cepting bids from University ar
tists who would like to design
and paint the mural.
“We’re taking bids from
students, faculty and staff,”
Simmons said. “People who are
familiar with students’ interests
and who can reflect that in the
mural’s design.”
The south wall is covered
already with a mural painted
last summer by Mark Lakeman,
a student. The design is a large
graphic portrayal of several
comic strip characters, painted
primarily in blue, black and
red.
“We’d like something that
blends in with the existing color
scheme but a little less car
toonish and more along the
lines of design," Simmons said.
He said that there is no
specific deadline for entering
proposals, but he would like to
have the bids in by next week in
order to get the project under
way.
The recreation center will pay
for the materials used to paint
the mural and will probably pay
the artist by the hour, Simmons
said.
“Or the proposal could in
clude the work for a summer
practicum or course credit," he
added. “It would be great ex
perience for a student in
design."
The recreation center will
fund the project, primarily with
revenue from the video games.
“A lot of people play these
games," Simmons said, “and I
think we’ll all be glad to have a
little more color in here.”
Piano conference to begin
A piano conference featuring prominent educator and
pianist Guy Duckworth is scheduled for today through Sun
day at the University School of Music.
Duckworth has performed throughout the United States,
Canada and Mexico. He is skilled as a concert pianist, master
teacher, lecturer and author.
In 1982-83, Duckworth participated in the Commission
on Tertiary Education at the International Society for Music
Education Conference in Finland. The same year, he was
recognized for his breakthroughs in piano teaching at the Na
tional Piano Pedogogy Conference in Madison, Wis.
Duckworth’s innovative programs in performance,
literature and teaching at the University of Colorado are bas
ed on the study of the learning processes as they evolve from
the interaction of persons in small and large groups, accor
ding to Doris Allen, a University music professor.
At the Eugene conference, teacher performers will par
ticipate in group lessons exploring developmental Stages of
learning. In conjunction with the conference, recitals will be
held Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. in Beall Concert Hall.
They will be open to all conference participants and to the
general public.
For registration and fee information, contact Doris Alien
at 686-5653 or 686-3761.
