GTFs to attend workshop
The University Graduate
School will sponsor an all-day
workshop designed to help
University graduate teaching
fellows become I Hitter teachers
Saturday in the EMU Dining
Room from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The GTF workshop, the first
such event at the University in
several years, will focus
primarily on the issue of why
teachers teach, says Barbara
Mossherg, associate dean of the
Graduate School. The theme,
which is fashioned after an old
folk saying, is “You can lead a
horse to waters but you can’t
make him drink."
“The emphasis isn’t how to
teach, but the-context of why we
teach,” Mossherg says.
Mossberg says this workshop
will encompass issues of impor
tance for GTFs with • varied/'
teaching backgrounds.
'it is for the experienced as/
weH as the first year GTF,'” she
. says.. “The °mot« you leach, the
more perspective you have."

Minority council helps
students over problems
By Frale d• Gusman
Of Ik* InaraM
Many minority students new to the area have a tough
time adjusting to the demands of University life, but the
Council for Minority Education provides assistance and
enables the students to overcome many of their problems.
Although the council offers many academic programs,
its first priority is to recruit and retain minority students to
the University through activities such as the Minority
Recruitment Day. says Jan Oliver, assistant director of the
CME.
Minority students from Oregon high schools attend
workshops dealing with entry into the University as well as
listen to lectures from guest speakers such as Barbara Matt, a
KVAL-TV news reporter, about the struggles minorities face
in the working world.
But the problems faced by minority students on campus
cannot always be solved by the CME staff members alone,
Oliver says.
"This office cannot solva all the problems of every stu
dent of color on campus." Oliver says.
Apart from the recruitment of minority students to the
University, CME also offers courses in writing, math, word
processing and sculpture. Minority students are given
preference when registering for these classes, which usually
contain only 15 students.
The small class size allows instructors to interact with
students on an individual basis but is no different from other
University courses. Oliver says.
"The CME class in writing is not minority writing, it's
writing, and the class in math is not student of color math,
it's math." she says. "If anything, the classes we offer are
more challenging to the students."
The personal attention given to students gives them a
better grasp of the material, says James Paulino, a finance
major.
"The one on one basis between student and teacher
makes you feel a lot more comfortable," Paulino says.
The CME office also provides academic advising and
tutorial referrals to students as well as a computer laboratory
for students to use when working on term papers or projects
for their computer classes.
The council also interacts with the different student
unions, handies problems of racial discrimination occurring
on campus and disseminates information about workshops
and seminars.
