Asian-Pacific relations goal of exchange
By Demian McLean
Emerald Reporter
University students will be
able to study with Thai and Li
lian professors next fall when
Oregon colleges begin a three
year faculty exchange with
Asian-Pacific universities
During the three-year period.
University and Oregon State
University professors will also
travel to Thailand and Fiji,
whore they will offer courses in
decision sciences and planning
public policy and management.
Tho exchange, said PPPM as
sociate professor Maradol Gale,
is an outgrowth of the Universi
ty's three-year-old Micronesia
Program. In August, the federal
government granted Gale and
decision sciences Professor
Kenneth Ramsing S227.074 to
establish partnerships with
Asian-Pacific universities.
"The competition for those
grants was fierce," suid
Kamsing, noting that 1H1 Amer
ican universities competed for
tho federal money.
"That wo won two of the
three Asian-Pacific grants avail
able speaks highly of the Uni
versity's Asian and Pacific
studies program," Kamslng
said
The Thoi-Oregon program,
Kamsing said, will focus on
ways to cement business and
trade relations between Oregon
and 'Hiaiiand.
Oregon fnculty will present
Thai students with case studies
of actual Oregon-Thal business
partnerships
The benefit for Thai students.
Kamsing said, is that they will
study global trade in the con
text of their own country.
"There are very few case
studies of U S -Thai business,”
Kamsing said "Most of ours are
with Chinn or Japan "
"The benefit for U of O stu
dents is that they gel to study
with Thai professors, and get
contacts.” Kamsing said
Six professors from Oregon,
throe from the University and
Ihrtie from OSli, will visit dur
ing die life of llie program, and
Kenneth Ramsing
six Thai professors will visii
the Oregon colleges
Political science Professor
Gerald Pry, one of throe Uni
versity professors in the ex
change. said Thailand is an Ido
al trade partner for Oregon
Unlike Korea and japan,
which are established players
in global trade, Thailand is still
an emerging nation, Fry said
"Thailand has an opportuni
ty to grow In a positive dire*
Hon. to improvo the huso of its
economy without pollution."
Fry said
Like Oregon. "Its major cities
are much the same si/e as Port
land and Eugene, and it faces
some of the same environmen
tal problems, such as deforesta
tion," Fry said.
The Oregon-Fiji project will
send four University faculty to
the University of the South Pa
cific in Suva, Fiji
Calc said the project's focus
will lie applying theory to solve
problems in economically de
veloping communities, with
particular emphasis on devel
opment that is environmentally
sustainable
Seven faculty members from
Fiji will visit the University
during thi- three-year period
and offer courses In Pacific Is
land studies

COTTAGE
Continued from Page 1A
"Wo half to make sure wo could at:corn
modato ovoryontf without txxrking thorn In
hotels and motels.” ho said "People
weren't canceling and wo mall/ml. 'Hoy,
wo could la; roully full.' "
The Cottugo House, which Is considered
part of the (larson/Karl Complex. was for
merly the University Delta Zola sorority
The Office of University Housing is lousing
the house for a year from the Delta Zota so
rority. in Oxford, Ohio, for $8,000 a month,
Tendlck said.
Boitie Cottage House residents said they
went disappointed when they learned they
would not be living in the dorms But they
said living in a former sorority does have
its benefits
University junior Michelle Eldridge, who
transferred from Southern Oregon State
Collugu, said Cottage House rooms are
much tugger than dorm rooms she's lived
in When site saw pictures of the house,
shts said she was excited
“I like it a lot bettor," Eldridge said
"The dorms were fun my freshman year,
but this is more homey It feels more like a
real house ”
About six women assigned to live in Cot
tage House have moved out, said Jennifer
Boyd, Cottage House residont assistant She
said most wore American English Institute
student* who wanted a complete college
experience by living in "real dorms "
Collage Mouse residents s.nd the worst
thing about the house is feeling Isolated
from the rest of campus The Office of Pub
lic Safety will step up patrols in the area at
night, ttoyd said
The decision to move the students who
couldn't he placed in the dorms into the
Cottage House was ' a lastminute thing."
Tendick said The housing department was
finalizing the house's lease during late Sep
lumber when students were moving in
The College House wasn't eipiipped with
phones for the first two weeks of ( lasses,
Boyd said.
"So I was walking around with a page
and a cellular phono for the first few days
of classes, which was weird," she said. "I
felt like a drug dealer "
The housing department has ovcrUioked
students before In 1087, the housing de
partment moved students to the Angus Inn
Motel and the Best Western Creed free
Motel for two or three weeks until addi
tional dorm rooms could he found for
them
During the 1082-8:1 school year, the
housing department bought a former half
way house from the county and converted
it Into Alder House
