University program gets facelift By Meg Dedolph Emerald Contr.Oulor 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 Loggers arrested for timber protest FORKS, Wash. (AP) Loggers arrested for tak ing chain saws to blown-down timber In the Olympii National rorcst would rather work than fight, a louder of the protest said. "Wo don't want tome kind of war out of this; wo just want thu timber sold," sain Gus Kuehne, president of the Northwest In dependent Forest Manufacturers Kuehne and about 100 Forts residents met with Sen Slade Gorton Wednesday for a community breakfast and quostlon-and-answer session, one day ufter 21 loggers were arrested for cutting into the wind-uprooted trees in a protest of federal rules protecting northern spotted owl habitat. Gorton expressed support for the loggers' cause and premised he would work to change the En 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 (hat (prolost leader) Larry Mason would la1 per milled to lostify on fores! health” before a Senule panel.
