By Bob Waite
Emerald Reporter _
While Westmoreland resident David Collette has no prob
lem with the possibility of gay or lesbian neighbors, resident
|unny Wu does not like it.
la'sbian and gay couples with children may now live in
Westmoreland and Amazon student housing, as University
administrators changed resident's marital status require
ments this summer.
University administrators initiated the i hange when a het
erosexual couple was served an eviction notice from West
moreland last year because the two were not married
Eviction proceedings against the couple were held while
the policy was reviewed, and withdrawn after the policy was
changed, said Dan Williams. University vice president for
administration.
The statement. "Single parents with children may have an
other adult reside in the unit to assist with child care respon
sibilities and share expenses." was added to the eligibility
policy
Noting that Stanford University has extended spousal
rights to gay and lesbian couples. Sarah Douglas, associate
professor of computer information science, said the Universi
ty is lagging behind as a national leader in civil rights issues.

School cares for students’ kids
By Bob Waite
Emerald Reporter
A school filled with one- to
three-year-old children crying,
laughing and singing songs can
provide a vivid and visual ex
planation of where some of the
student incidental fees are go
ing
While the children's parents
go to college, the toddlers re
ceive care and development
from teachers at the new tod
dler center at the Westmore
land student housing complex.
Student voters approved c
1‘iH‘i 1FC fee increase ballot
measure to provide a new Child
Care and Development Center
school l-ast spring, students
approved HO cents more in inci
dental fees per term to pay for
stiite mandated wage increases
for COX! teachers, including
staff at the new school.
"We are very grateful to the
University students,” Donna
Franklin, assistant CCDU coor
dinator. says of the IFC ballot
votes.
The (.'(.'IX' serves University
student's and faculty's children
from ages 15 months to six
years. Franklin says.
The new toddler center
opened at the beginning of this
term.
The driving force creating
the need for expanded child
care facilities is changing stu
dent demographics. The aver
age age of students is climbing
and there are more women.

said Dennis Reynolds, universi
ty child cart! coordinator.
The initiator of the new
school was a Public Policy
Planning and Management
graduate student who wrote a
proposal for the new center as a
course project. Westmoreland
tenants took the proposal to
Reynolds, who took it to the In
cidental Fee Committee, which
allocates funds to student pro
jects,
"1 started wurking for CCDC
several years ago as a work
study student," says teacher
Pam McCravv.
McCraw says she liked chil
dren but she did not expect
child care to become her educa
tional and career emphasis
then. Today she has l>oth an ed
ucation and a career, and says
dial she is very happy.
Books, toys, tables, posters, a
kitchen and bathrooms inside
the care center are surrounded
by a manicured lawn with play
fac ilities outside the school
formerly a student apartment
which shares the fenced play
ground with the pre-school
next door.
The Westmoreland pre
school is only a few years old.
Before it was built. Westmore
land parents had to drive their
children to one of the other five
CCDC schools near or on cam
pus.

girl, who does not speak Eng
lish, at the toddler school.
