UNIVERSITY UPDATE
Students win Antarctic architecture competition
University architecture students submitted six of the win
ning ontries. including the first-plat* finisher, in a juried, na
tionwide competition to design a "new town for selenite” at
McMurdo Stution, Antarctica.
The winning entries consist of comprehensive master plans
for a theoretical new research station in Antarctica at the silo
of the United States' largest antarctic sclent* facility. The en
tries were on display last week at the American Institute of
Architecture Convention in Boston, shortly after the competi
tion. called "Environment 2 — A Now Town For Science"
and sponsored by the American Institute of Architecture Stu
dents.
First place in the competition was awarded to an interdis
ciplinary team headed by Robert Heaney, who graduated
tnugna cum laudo with a bachelor's degree in architecture
earlier this month
Other team members included Diana Oliver, a post-buccu
laureate student in landscape architecture, and John Carper, a
student at California Stutu University, Sacramento.
The students will share a $1,000 prize and travel to Mc
Murdo in January to complete an intensive, week-long design
session.
Tuition waived for two students
Two University students will benefit front a now program
aimed at addressing the problem of underrepresentation of
women pursuing graduate degrees in the physical sciences.
Senior Rachel DINoto and Junior Cocolt Duchi will each re
ceive tuition waivers next year in order to work toward com
pletion of their undergraduate studies in chemistry and phys
ics, respectively.
The University's new tuition-waiver program for women in
the physical sciences was developed by Steadman Uplmm,
vice provost and dean of the Graduate School, to help en
courage women to participate in a field still dominated by
men.
Roberts bucks tradition
by calling for session
SALLM (AP) —
Gov. Barbara
Roberts soums to
bo standing conventional wis
dom on its head as she prepares
to cull the Oregon Legislature
into a special session to deal
with taxes.
Past special sessions often
have boon plotted weeks or
even months ahead of time,
with consultation between the
governor and House and Senate
leaders every stop of the way.
But Roberts' session on taxes
might be less than two weeks
away, and there's no specific:
agenda. The governor is con
structing a tax package, but she
hasn't set a meeting date
Roberts’ announcement some
weeks ago-that she definitely
w'ould call a session tills sum
mer to put a tax plan on the
ballot caught some lawmakers
by surprise.
Legislators in her own party,
such as House Minority Leader
Peter Courtney. D-Salem, were
critical He questioned whether
the governor was allowing
enough time for thorough re
view of the state's budget prob
lems and her plans to fix them
A common routine in past
s|Hicial session was for legisla
tive committees to work well
ahead of the session to put hills
in shape for quick action once
all UO lawmakers convene.
Senate and House party tuiu
cuses frequently have had an
early chance to look at the
uatawt ut ci ctmsa ui ut 01 ctuiutia ta cicivj mit ct is « Cl
measure!!.
The scenario for (he impend
ing special session on taxes
isn’t following many of the
rules, though.
The situation appears to tie
developing as one of a cursory
review of the tax plan before
it’s sent along to the voters
House Speaker Lurry Camp
bell, R-bugene, seems to he dis
tancing himself and his Repub
lican caucus from the Demo
cratic governor
Last week, Ounphell publicly
questioned her plans for a ses
sion "with such a short lead
time’’ and said he doubted if
voters supported the approach
Ho said he would have the
House Revenue Committee re
view whatever plan Roberts
comes up with "for technical
accuracy” to prepare it for an
“up-or-down vote” in the
House
The House leader also wants
the tax measure on the Novem
ber general election ballot, Rob
erts says she w ill hold out for a
Sept 15 election
The Senate, solidly con
trolled by the Democrats, is ex
pected to tie more sympathetic
toward the governor’s plan. But
no one is making any bets
There’s no measure yet.
There are potential advan
tages to the governor’s fast
track approach and also to
Campbell's simple up-or-down
vote.
