A grievance* over selection o
the 19Hti-H7 Oregon Dailj
Kmereeld editor may leHtl to a se>
discrimination lawsuit, accor
ding to an unsuccessful
applicant.
Michelle Brence. managing
editor of the Emerald. is pursu
ing University channels te
challenge the Oregon Dali)
Emerald Board of Directors
selection of Community Kditoi
Paul Sturtz for the top spot or
the campus paper.
The board, a 10-membei
panel composed of students
faculty, staff and one communi
ty newspaper representative
voted 5 to 4 Thursday night ir
Sturtz's favor. Board chairmai
Scott Diehl, of The Register
(iuard. was not present. Brenci
ami Sturtz were the oidy ap
plicants considered by tin
board.
While a University legal ad
visor has counseled her to ex
haiist all Emerald grievance
procedures first. Brence sail
she is willing to sue tin
Emerald hoard if she deems i
necessary If a lawsuit ii
brought, she said. “I have •
feeling it would tic a sexua
discrimination suit based on af
imitative action guidelines."
The avenues lor addressing
Brenr.e's complaint are urn lear
According to Diehl. "At this
point we’re not even sure wha
the procerJure is for reviewinj
the grievance."
Bill Kittredge. director of thi
ASUO Office of Student Ad
vocacv. said. "My understan
ding of her grievance is that
she's saying she is a more
qualified woman who was not
hired in lieu of a less-qualified
man."
Criteria for selection of the
editor, however, was not
specifically spelled out, said
hoard member Allan Lazo.
I don’t think there was any
' real official criteria that we us
ed." ho said. "I don't know if
them should have l>eon or not."
I azo added that all members
had the same information about
the applicants.
Current Emerald Editor Julie
Shippnn. a member of the lioard
who participated in the
deliberations, said. "I believe
i that people hat! p re-decided
> against Michelle as an
applicant."
■ Elect ed st uden't board
member Jennie Hr inker
! disagreed with Shippen's
analysis of the selection pro
cess. "The whole function of
the Emerald board is to make a
1 democratic decision," Hrickor
I said. "I don't see how |>e(>plc
can think there's been an in
I justice done by the committee.”
Shippen said Brence's opi
i nion pieces written earlier this
year, during her tenure as
editorial page editor, partly
hindered her bid for the job.
; "Plain and simple. Michelle
wrote editorials,” Shippen
t said, "and from time to time the
editorials would be directed at
i ■>’, student groups."
Shippen said some student
> Itoard members participate in
organizations that were criticiz
ed by Brence.

its money independently of the
I PC, Kiinitall said Alternative
funding methods have not been
fully explored and should be,
he added.
"Advertising in Eugene is a
bit shaky Ian ause we are an opi
nion journal," Mann said The
press run is limited to 4.000
copies and somewhat limited to
campus circulation, which fur
ther discourages advertisers, he
said.
"Must we fund free speech?"
asked IFC member ha-Yin Siew.
If the Commentator is funded.
Siew questioned whether every
other newsletter on campus
would have to be funded.
Next year’s editor will receive
$270 for the nine-month posi
tion. which has been a
volunteer post since the paper's
inception.

Between 175 and 200 families
participate in the program cur
rently. said Carol Berry, ac
countant of the Child Care
Development Center. This
number reflects an increased
number of parents attending the
11 Diversity as full-time students,
she said.
The Child Care Task Force
will look into the costs and op
tions of child care available for
students and report to the IK(] in
October. Randall said
The IIC also authorized a

creation of a Student Senate

The handbook will la* used as

“I don't believe that some of
the people on the board have
the Emerald’s best interest in
mind," Shippen added. "I
think their being on the hoard
has to do with extending stu
dent politics where student
politics don't belong.”
Of the 10 board members,
seven are students. In addition
to the Emerald editor, those
positions include one elected
University student at large, two
representatives appointed by
the ASUO president, and three
members elected by and from
the Emerald news, production
and advertising departments.
Shippen said. "You take a
gamble when you let the ASUO
president appoint people (to the
ODE Hoard). You question
whether or not they want to be
on the board for the right
reasons.”
ASUO President Lynn Pin
ckney appointed only one board
member, contrary to general
procedure. Pinckney failed to
appoint the second board posi
tion. which later was filled
through a Ixtard appointment.
"How one person could
destroy a board that large is
beyond me," Pinckney said.
She added. "I think Adam

been a fine board member. Mis
interest in the University is
campuswide.*'
Hricker disagreed with
charges that politics had an un
due effect on the deliberations.
“What I was looking for in an
editor was someone who could
bring a positive change to the
Kmerald,” Bricker said. “I
didn't think Michelle was the
one to bring that change
about."
Of the candidates. Bricker
said. "I thought they were pret
ty equally qualified.” She add
ed that Sturtz's lack of ex
perience on the Kmerald is
balanced by his work on other
publications, while Brence's
background centers almost ex
clusively on the University
