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. Ill ? & ? Are you behind in your academic reading? Do you have trouble concentrating while reading your text?

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.
