Series focuses on computers in education By Tonnie Dakin Of I hr fmrnlJ Instructional technology is making advances in today's working world and educational system, and a colloquium series presented throughout the year will address these advances. "Instructional technology is the use of media in teaching." said |ulie Palakovich. a graduate student who helped organize the colloquium. The media used in instructional technology range from com puters to visual and audio devices such as television and radio, she said Speakers were chosen from the University, as well as the public and private sectors, in order to present a wide range of topics throughout the series, she said. Different presentations of the colloquium will address different ways in which instruc tional technology can be utiliz ed in the working world and at the University, she said "Basically, we wanted to pre sent speakers to explain and share the different research done in technology and educa tion." Palakovtch said. “Things an; changing so fast that there's so many more opportunities to use other teaching formats." Currently, computers are Ire ing used at the I Iniversity to aid in music compositnn and high tech athletic training, as well as for math, science, and business. I'alakovich said. "We’re trying to have this Ire a tie-in to other departments in the University." she said. The series will lie presented by The Center for Advanced Technology in Education (CATE). As part of the Univer sity's College of Education. CATE is composed of universi ty. community, and state organizations which provide research and service in the field of advanced technology in education In order to encourage the use and understanding of com puters and other advanced technology.

"In the actual move, we will be using practically even piece of moving equipment we can find in town." Roberts said. “The idea is to get about seven trucks out in the area where the first four bleachers are and the first two rows of the track is. and push the structure toward the street." Roberts explained. The exact time of the move will depend on the weather "It it rains too much, as it vtsry well could, it could soften the ground to where we can't roll it. and we will just have to wait until it is hard enough so we can." Roberts said The grandstand, according to Roberts, is "very sound, amaz ingly sound.” Kverv part of the building, apart from the last r>0 feet of the south-end was built in l!l 15. The extension to the south end was added in 1957. As far as the grandstand move is concerned, there will la- no obstruction to the track.

"Our task (as sociologists) is to seriously document 'this is what is happening' and it isn't a simple matter as 'well, that's the way it. is' but there are changes in the nature of capital all the way’, along the line." Marchuk said. . Alternatives should be con sidered of how to deal with a major company leaving a region or province or at least keep it from happening again, Marchuk said. "An automatic response to this situation is to say. T-et's get another big company in here, then we have another resource that can lx; exploited.' or ‘Who can we give more subsidies to so they will come and employ our people?' This is a pretty normal response," but can lead to another company doing ex actly the same thing, she said. Oregon Daily Kmerald its respective borders.
