Noisy machinery a nuisance
to Gilbert Hall classrooms
By Kirsten Bolin
Of (Im Emwrald
Loud noise from the multitude of
jackhammers, power saws and bulldozers cur
rently being used to construct the new Earle A.
Chiles Business Center on the west side of
Gilbert Hall, is evoking negative comment
from both students and faculty members con
cerned about the unwanted sounds entering
some of their classrooms.
“The noise infiltrates the whole classroom
and the teacher is unable to talk above it." said
Peter Boag. a University GTF. "For ten
minutes the jackhammer would be going, and
then it would be quiet for ten minutes and then
it would start up again."
In a Nov, 8 letter that appeared in the
Oregon Daily Emerald. Boag questioned the
University's decision to construct another
building on campus and expressed concern
about the possible violation of students' rights
to a quiet classroom situation.
“Students have complained to me in the
class, and I've noticed that some of them have
walked out." Boag said.
Construction of the $1.5 million center
began several weeks ago at the 13th Avenue
and Kincaid Street site and a continual proces
sion of construction workers with heavy
equipment has been working there since.
While the noise is irritating, it has not
been consistently obtrusive enough to merit
canceling classes.
“When it’s on it’s bad. but it hasn't been
on that much," said Don Wharton. University
accounting professor. “If they do it for any ex
tended period of time, it makes class
impossible."
Some instructors, including Fred An
drews. a University math professor, have re
quested a room change to a more quiet section
of campus but have been refused because of
lack of suitable space.
"When they use jackhammers it makes it
difficult to lecture — I sometimes have to
stop.” Andrews said. "Even though I shout. I
know the students can't hear me."
‘The noise infiltrates the
whole classroom and the
teacher is unable to talk
above it. *
Despite the inconvenience, most people
affected by the construction noise appear will
ing to tolerate the situation until the new
building is completed
"My professor just tries to deal with it,"
said Joe Sicad. a University student. "She says
things like 'I don't know how 1 can talk over
this.' ”
Even though some students were angered
by noise interference while taking midterms,
the building contract forbid# construction dur
ing finals week, said Dave Rowe, University
planner.
The next major noise-making step will
begin when workers begin cutting into ex
isting buildings to incorporate the structures
in a couple of months. Rowe said.

Noisy machinery, which is being used next to Gilbert Hall, is causing many students and
faculty with classes in the building to complain.
Cultural Forum begins lecture series
By Julie Freeman
Of I He Kmerald
In an effort to put this state in
a more positive light for Univer
sity students, the EMU Cultural
Forum is bringing some of
Oregon’s most prominent
citizens for its lecture series titl
ed ‘‘People of Oregon.”
Portland police chief. Penny
Harrington, will kick off the
series tonight with a speech on
the “Pressures on Women in
Traditional Male Roles” at 7:30
in Room 138 Gilbert Hall.
Rindy Ross, the lead singer of
Quarterflash, a band formed in
Portland, will continue the
series on Nov. 20 with an infor
mal lecture that will include a
question-and-answer session on
the competitive pressures fac
ing leading women in the music
industry.
As the first female police
J chief of a major city, Harrington
‘ has received a great deal of local
and nation'll madia attention
since she took office in January.
Both Harrington and the
f #
Rindy Ross
Portland Police Bureau were in
the limelight this past spring
when a Portland man died after
officers used the controversial
“sleeper hold" to subdue him.
Darryl Joannides, contem
porary issues coordinator for
the Cultural Forum, says he
started the series because he
believed there were a lot of pro
minent people in the state who
would be of interest to students.
Me also thinks the lecture
series will be a way to see a dif
ferent side of issues and pro
mote positive things about the
state.
"You always see so much of
the negative side of what hap
pens in the state," Joannides
says. "This way you will be
able to see why it's so great to be
living in Oregon."
While this month’s lectures
focus on women. Joannides says
there are no plans to continue
this approach throughout the
rest of the year.
Joannides says he hopes these
