Administrative changes In
the College of Arts anti Sci
ences, which included the crea
tion of a new associate dean po
sition and the appointment of
throe new associate deans, took
effect July 1
Risa Palm, dean of the Col
lego of Arts and Sciences, said
the restructuring, which began
lastTqll. was long overdue, be
cause the last one took place in
the 1960s, when the college
was half its current size Today,
the college serves 9,600 stu
dents, or roughly half of the en
rolled student population
Palm said the restructuring
allows the College of Arts and
Sciences to function like every
other similar college in the Pa
cific-10 Conference with the ex
ception of Oregon State Univer
sity.
The money for the restructur
ing, which cost $175,000, came
from a reallocation of existing
University administrative
funds, and caused the Universi
ty no additional expense or loss
in teaching funds, she said
The primary change under
the new system was an increase
in the number of associate
deans from two to three, which
included hiring three new peo
ple from the College of Arts
and Sciences faculty to fill
these positions.
The new associate deans are
Stephen Durrant. associate
dean for humanities, Joe Stone,
associate dean for social sci
ences and David McDaniels, as
sociate dean for physical -sc i
ences.
Palm said she wanted people
who were familiar with how
the University worked, and
who were well-respectcd by
their co-workers. She also said
that overall. It was cheaper to
move people into these posi
tions from with'in the- Universi
ty than hire new people from
outside.
The three new associate
deans are responsible for cur
riculum and budgetary plan
ning. recruitment of now facul
ty and the handling of student
problems. Their teaching duties
will be reduced, but will still
include working with advanced
graduate students and leading
graduate seminars.
Each of the :t() different de
partments and programs repre
sented in the College of Arts
and Sciences chose one or
moru of the associate deans to
report to depending on who the
department thinks will best
represent Its concerns.
For example, the anthropolo
gy deportment reports to Stone,
the computer sciences depart
ment reports to McDaniels and
the linguistics department re
ports to all throe associate
deans, Palm said.
Palm said this system will bo
more efficient than the pre
vious one because the dean's
office now has the personnel to
effectively respond to sugges
tions and problems from a vari
ety of departments.
Previously, she said, if some
one from the chemistry depart
ment had called with a sugges
tion, there would have boon no
body in the dean's office quali
fied enough In the physical sci
ences to adequately respond
With the installation of associ
ate deans to specifically deal
with the physical sciences, the
social science and the humani
ties, Palm said the dean's office
will be able to respond to a
wider variety of questions from
departments
Furthermore. Palm sutd un
der the old system, most cle
part merits spoke with her when
they had problems or ques
tions. and as « result, people
ended, up welling severe! weeks
for an appointment With the
three new associate deans.
Palm hopes that responses to
questions and concerns will be
quicker and that it will be eas
ier for faculty memiiers to con
tact administrators
Palm also hopes to spend
more of her time working on
planning arid fundraising for
the college

dangered Species Act to take economic costs into
account when deciding how to protect threatened
or endangered animals. Kuehne said
Kuehne, who was among those arrested Tues
day, said today that no further civil disobedience
was plunned. but that the protest would be no
ticed in logging communities uround the Pacific
Northwest He said others might turn to civil dis
obedience unless the government and Congress
made blown-down timber available to loggers and
sawmills.
"We think it's time now for the government to
tell us when this is going to bo sold," Kuehne
said.
Gorton did not premise a bill allowing sale of
blow-down limber would pass Gongress this sirs
sion, but ho tjid say "ho would do his l>est to soft
