departments update
Minor change
The math requirement for
those seeking a minor in
business administration has
been changed. The minor no
longer requires a term of
calculus, says Don Lytle,
undergraduate program director
for the College of Business Ad
ministration. The only math re
quirement is college algebra
(Math 101) or its equivalent.
Seminar funded
Provost Dick Hill has
agreed to set aside $50,000 to
encourage departments to offer
freshmen seminars in addition
to the regular departmental of
ferings, according to the Facul
ty Advisory Council.
This is a result of the over
whelmingly positive response
to last year’s pilot project of
small classes offered to first year
students. The classes were
taught by volunteer teachers in
an effort to improve the quality
of undergraduate education and
decrease the anonymity felt by
students attending large
classes.
The new three-credit courses
will be funded at $2,000 each
with smaller amounts available
for one- and two-credit
weekend workshops. In each
case, the money will be paid to
the department to be used at the
discretion of the department
head. Requests for this money
should be sent to John Lallas-in
the President’s office by Feb. 21
with a description of the course
to be offered and a brief
biographical sketch of the per
son offering the course.
Library hours
Three of the University
libraries have expanded their
hours. The University Library,
Science Library, and Architec
ture and Allied Arts Library will
increase their weekend hours.
The three libraries will now
be open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
on Monday through Friday. On
Saturdays, hours will be 9 a.m.
to 11 p.m., and Sunday hours
will remain 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.
According to Provost Dick
Hill, the expanded hours are
"one direct benefit of the recent
action by the Emergency Board
and the subsequent allocation of
funds by the Stale Board of
Higher Education."
New manager
Melody Ward Leslie has
been named manager of promo
tion and broadcast services for
the University’s office of News
and Information Services.
Leslie was a news anchor and
reporter at radio station KUGN.
She succeeds Mike Moskovitz,
who resigned last year to
become Springfield’s public in
formation officer. She will
manage promotion of a variety
of campus events and services,
including running the radio
news service.
Ruhl Fellows
Ted Baker, publisher of The
Register-Guard, has been nam
ed one of two 1985 Ruhl
Fellows by the University
School of Journalism.
Baker will visit the University
Feb. 18-21 to speak to jour
nalism classes and to meet in
formally with students and
faculty members as part of the
annual Ruhl Symposium on
journalism ethics and media
performance.
The second Ruhl Fellow is
Steve Woodward, editor of The
Business Journal in Portland,
who will visit the University in
late April.

Famous Spuds warm up
against faculty today
The University’s College Bowl champions aren’t sure the
'varsity sport of the mind” qualifies as a “subculture,” but
they insist the pursuit is far from trivial.
The Famous Potatoes of McClure Hall, defending
University champions after muting three other residence hall
teams Feb. 5, will warm up for regional competition with a
bout against a faculty squad today.
The regional competition will take place Saturday in
Boise, Idaho. If victorious, the team will move on to national
competition and face College Bowl giants like Minnesota,
Washington University of St. Louis and North Carolina.
“Everybody looks in fear at North Carolina," says
Famous Potato Jeff Osanka. “We played them in a tourna
ment earlier this school year in Atlanta, and they Just
demolished us,”
The Potatoes finished second in regionals last year to the
University of Idaho when the two final rounds were decided
on “literature packets.”
“We were weak on literature." he said. “So this year we
found Hal.”
Ha! Zweben, an English major, is the team’s only new
member. Osanka, who switched majors this year from law to
public policy management, joins biology major Chris Kam
meyer, history major Bob Hands, and journalism major David
Paul, an alternate member.
The faculty will counter with members, lack Maddex.
