Transition to semester system begins, director chosen By linns Norred Of the Emerald University officials have chosen a director for the semester system transition team, which will organize the change from the current quarter system to semesters by 1990. University Professor Mavis Mate, head of the history department, was appointed last week as the University presi dent’s special assistant for semester transition. Mate will lead the five member transition team, which will include representatives from all sectors of the Universi ty community affected by the change to semesters, said Alison Baker, executive assis tant to the president. The members of the transition team have not yet been an nounced. But Baker said the team will include at least one student member and probably members from the academic and student affairs sectors, the business office and the physical plant. Mate said she accepted the position because it presented a challenge and because of her in terest in curriculum reform. “This is going to be an oppor tunity totally to rethink the cur riculum." Mate said. “We’ll have to rethink the general education requirements, and departments will have to look at every course and decide if it needs to be expanded, or discontinued or merged into another course.” Mate was chairwoman of the University Curriculum Commit tee for two years. She said she worked on developing the cluster-requirement system, which currently guides most University students. “Professor Mate knows the University well, she heads a department, she’s well respected and very organized, we couldn't think of anybody better qualified,” Baker said. The appointment of Mate and the recent forming of a State System of Higher Education Semester Committee signaled the start of the conversion pro cess that will move all Oregon’s public, four-year colleges and universities from the quarter system to semesters.

WHEN IS THE MGHT TIME 10 CALL YOUR PARENTS? a) When you’re stuck in your room because someone “pennied” your door. b) When you spent all your money playing video games and you still have to buy books for Developmental Psych. c) When you just miss hearing their voices and telling them what you’ve been doing. AT&T The right choice. One thing about parents: they love to hear what you’ve been up to. But you should call them anyway. And when they ask where you were last night, tell them that you always call using AT&T Long Distance Service because of AT&T’s high quality service and exceptional value. When they ask how your stud ies are going, remind them that AT&T gives you immediate credit if you dial a wrong number. And when they ask about your plans for the weekend, note that you can count on AT&T for clear long distance connections. And when, at last, they praise you for using AT&T, then—and only then—you might want to mention those Psych lH)oks.
