Chancellor to
remain home
at University
By Paula Green
Emerald Reporter
Members of a State Board of Higher
Education committee have decided that
the office of the state system chancellor
should remain at the University.
Board members Robert Adams. John
Alltucker and Arlene Schnitzer recom
mended Wednesday that the
chancellor's office should remain in
Eugene, while maintaining the brand
office in Salem, and initiating a 'more
visible presence" in Portland.
Board President lames Peterson ap
pointed Adams, Alltucker and Schnitzer
in January to investigate the possibility
of moving the chancellor's office.
The committee appointments came
shortly after the announced resignation
of Chancellor William E. "Bud" Davis.
Peterson at the time was quoted as say
ing the change in chancellors provided a
good opportunity to examine the loca
tion issue.
After interviewing approximately 50
past and present college presidents and
chancellors, legislators, and college
faculty members, the committee con
cluded that the move is unnecessary.
Committee members prepared a sum
mary of their findings, and presented a
series of reasons opposing the move,
which included the significant cost
involved.
The committee also found a campus
atmosphere is more condusive to the
goals of the higher education system,
and that the chancellor is an educator
before he is a state official.
Proponents of the proposed move sug
gested Salem as a new office site because
it is the state's seat of government.
Portland was suggested because it is the
economic center of the state.
The committee members agreed that
the chancellor should keep regular office
hours at the Salem branch while the
Legislature is in session, and should
make regular visits to Portland.
The recommendation from Adams,
Alltucker and Schnitzer will be
presented to the state board for con
sideration at its March 18 meeting.
Area coffee, tea houses are hot

Atmosphere, drinks win students

The coffee or tea house is
an age-old phenomenon.
Through the years, warm,
friendly places offering a hot
cup of coffee or tea have been
popular places for people to
gather, converse and rear! —
especially near a college
campus.
"Coffee and conversation
and study seem to go
together," said Jennifer
McFarland, who manages
Espresso Roma, a cafe on E.
13th Avenue that opened last
October and has had steady
business. “It makes com
plete logical sense to me that
it would be successful."
Students in particular are
interested in discussing and
searching, and coffee houses
are perfect settings for that,
she said. Also, many
students prefer to study in
coffee houses, where they
can absorb the atmosphere
and sip coffee while they
read, she added.
Although cafes and
specialty coffees are nothing
new to campus, they seem to
be increasingly popular.
Many c a mp u s- a r e a
restaurants and stores now
sell gourmet coffee and tea,
but at the turn of the decade
few did.
However, Joe and Shirley
Valentine changed that about
seven years ago when they
opened their small wine and
cheese store adjacent to the
Fall Creek Bakery on E. 13th
Avenue. Joe Valentine said
that when he attended the
University in the early
1960s, he often visited a cof
fee house to converse with
friends.
He added that his interest
in coffee and wine hid him to
open his store, which sells a
variety of coffee and tea
specialties as well as wine.
More than half his sales
come from coffee, and more
and more people are buying
coffee all the time, he said.
“Coffee is a kind of
neglected beverage. People
don't give it the respect it
deserves.” Valentine said.
“People are used to going to
a restaurant and having this
dishwater coffee passed

Student athletes block ballot request

The Incidental Fee Committee held a
brief meeting on Thursday after a spon
sor of a potentially controversial spring
ballot measure recanted his request.
The IFC also set a date to draft a letter
3f opposition to proposed changes in in
cidental fee allocation rules.
Ron Munlon withdrew the ballot re
quest after fuiling to gain support from
student athletes who he contends would
benefit from the measure. If approved in
the spring election, the measure would
wrest control of 10 percent of the Univer
sity Athletic Department's incidental fee
allocation and give supervisory control
of that money to the Student Team Coun
cil, composed of 23 student athletes.
The Athletic Department yearly
receives mom than $1.1 million in in
cidental fees from students.
in a statement prepared for the hear
ing, team council representatives Todd
kunzman and Kellie Brust said, "We are
not prepared, nor do we wish to become
as completely as the writers had design
ed.” In a unanimous decision, the coun
cil voted not to endorse the ballot
measure.
Munion and 1FC Chairman Hob
Baldwin presented the ballot proposal to
the team council on Tuesday.
Munion said he believed the presence
of the University Athletic Department
director and associate director influenc
ed the vote, and added he and Baldwin
had four minutes to make their presenta
tion at a 7:30 a m. meeting. The two plan
to meet with team council represen
tatives again in an attempt gather sup
port for the measure.
Both added they do not oppose the

Architecture students sweat through project reviews
By Mike Drummond
Emerald Associate Editor
It was midterm and final pro
ject review time for University
architecture students this week.
In an unusual academic at
mosphere of teeth grinding,
hand gesturing, camaraderie
and criticism, more than 400
architecture students held their
two-term projects up for peer
and faculty scrutiny in studios
scattered throughout Lawrence
Hall. Architecture projects are
subject to half-term and final
review at the end of each fall
and winter quarter.
Landscape, urban and rural
Classes show plans for library expansion, Portland's east side
models, ranging from the
elaborate to the mundane, in
vited debute and praise from the
lay person to the seasoned ex
pert in a week-long session that
is something akin to an actor's
audition.
Student designs addressed
fictional as well as realistic set
tings, from a cottage and studio
for a couple and an American
Film Institute building for
mythical Gotham City, to
designs for the Riverfront
Research Park, the University
library expansion and
_ redevelopment of Portland’s in
dustrial east side.
Although the budding
architects' projects are not
slated for real-life applications,
associate architecture professor
Michael Shellenbarger said
aspects of some student designs
will make it to professional
drawing boards.
Such may be the case for
Shellenbarger's architecture
481 class, which was up for
midterm review Thursday.
Shellenbarger's 17 students
are working on the University
main library expansion, design
ing their own visions of how the
dition should look. And
Shellenbarger said prospects
were good that his students
could help shape the library's
design.
"We’re using the same plan
as the University Library Expan
sion Committee and their
architects will be using. We're
playing it as realistic as possi
ble," Shellenbarger said.
“Undoubtedly the architects
will pick up some ideas from
the students." he said, and he
noted that planners once used
several of his students' ideas at
the Oregon Museum of Science
and Industry.
One graduate student in his
architecture 4H1 class, Doug
Jernberg. said the only criterion
they were encouraged to follow
was to relate to the library’s
original motif.
"There have been three addi
tions to the 1930s original, and
the additions don't really do the
original justice,” Jernberg said.
During review periods, which
last several hours, students
mingle with colleagues and pro
fessors, waxing intellectual and
discussing design strengths and
weaknesses.
Review time is a stressful and
