Travel service to open in EMU By Mary l.ichtenwalner Of Um Kmorulct A travel center to be located In the EMU will soon offer vacation plans and prices to students and faculty, said |an Hosmer, assistant EMU director. The State System of Higher Education completed signing the contract for the center Tuesday, Hosmer said, The center will simply consist of a desk near the EMU dining area but will give students and faculty a chance to further their education, she said. “It's being put in for the conve nience of the students. It’s a favor to them.” she said. The travel center is not a com mercial venture for the EMU, however, Hosmer said. I-ast year's EMU Board determined that a travel agency is a service needed by students, she said. * ‘It 's riot at all unusual — many college student unions have travel agencies." Hosmer said. Mark Nalia, 19«4-85 EMU Hoard chair, said that wheri considering the center.. there was talk among the members concerning the number of independent businesses in the KMU. Currently, there is. a photo shop and a hair salon. The KMU. previously leased space to Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream and Anderson’s Sporting Goods. ’.. "I decided that, given the needs of the students, it’s an appropriate business for the EMU. But I also realized it’s necessary to not be in volved in business overkill.” Nalia . said. • The KMU responded to the need . ..for the service by bidding for a travel' center. Dan Valentine, a . former University history pro fessor. accepted the bid. Valentine has run. his own travel center in . Eugene for six years. ■ ■ Valentine’s Campus Travel Center will be a branch of Valen tine’s Travel by Design. Valentine said he hopes to be operating in the. EMU by Nov. 1. "I think the University areas are great for some businesses. And University people have to travel a lot,’’ he said. "I think it’s an ex cellent location." The center will focus on setting up student charters to Europe and the Far East, as well as negotiating vacations to Mexico and other areas. Valentine said. "It’s something I’ve wanted to do for years. I think there is a lot of things we can do," he said. Play explores effects of apartheid South Africa's apartheid system is ex plored on a keenly personal level in University Theatre’s first play of the 1985-86 season, “Master Harold.. .And The Boys,” opening Friday in Robinson Theatre. The play tells the story of a white teen ager who loves his middle-aged black friend as a father, but cannot escape the social and political rules under which they live. "The play is not a political protest,” says director Lou Salemi, "but rather a personal protest against the inherent racism of apartheid. The story is set in 1950, just one year after the system of racial segregation was instituted by the South African government.” In a review of the Broadway produc tion. New York Post drama critic Clive Barnes wrote that the play is "a triumph of playmaking and unforgettable.” ; Reviewer Frank Rich of the New York | Times wrote that "only two or three liv ing playwrights in the world can write as , well as Athol Fugard.” Salemi of Minneapolis was artistic ■ director of the Cricket Theatre for- 10 years.
