i Conference aids student unions
By Jenny Beaumont
f&r thf* OntQori i Xt .3Y l mtHMtkl
While most students were seasoning their Hal
lowecn traditions in Kugene around the Universi
ty campus, a small group of students, staff and
faculty got a taste of the holiday in Ashland on
the Southern Oregon State College campus
The Association of College Unions-lnternation
al Region 14 had its annual conference at the col
lege last weekend. The weekend consisted of
student, staff and faculty presentations on topics
ranging from community service to strategy plan
ning and from goal setting to parliamentary pro
cedures.
In addition, participants were offered a smor
gasbord of showcase entertainment Musicians,
comedians and performance artists accented the
relaxed atmosphere of the event and were available
to s|>eak with attendees and offer promotional mate
rial to student programmers
Founded in 1*114, the ACtJ-I is an opportunity
for student unions to gather for studying and
improving their organizations, services, programs,
facilities and personnel, and assisting in the devel
opment of new college unions More than ‘100 uni
versities and < olleges of all sizes and s< opes from
around the world are members of the assoc iation.
Region 14 currently consists of members from the
slates of Alaska. Idaho. Montana. Oregon and Wash
ington. as well as the Canadian provinces of Alber
ta. British Columbia and Saskatchewan. The
(.ontorente fees are comparably inexpensive and all
ASl If) organizations and KMl! programs are encour
aged to attend
"It's always valuable to meet people who do what
you do," said Debhv Martin, who attended the con
fortun e and was a presenter tins year. "That's why
these conferenc es exist "
Martin is the program assistant for the EMt' Cul
tural Forum and the Student Activities Resource
Offu i> program assistant.
The theme of the weekend was "Bridging the gap
between fantasy and reality " Keynote speeches
about setting and achieving goals, challenging ideas
and traditions, and looking toward the future
emphasized this theme.
Many specialized conferences exist for pro
grammers in the fields of music and performing arts,
club sports and recreation, and computer applica
tions. as well as for people active in student gov
ernment or management The ACU-I stands out as
the central organization for union members, incor
porating all of the specialized fields.
Committee affairs have always incorporated the
educational and recreational aspects at both the
regional and international level, hut past decades
have included lesbian, gay and bisexual issues,
women's concerns, multi-ethnic and arts-reloted
programming.
Each year the presentations evolve as new mnm
Ixirs participate, new issues arise, or old ones need
revival.
New aspects of the conference have been incor
porated as well. Along with the evor-popular Col
lege Bowl, there is now a video contest addressing
academia and the environment and a visual arts
contest giving students a chance to show off their
promotional and publicity materials.
"You're dealing with making an experience,"
Geltner said.

Robert Easton, co-author of the
book. Native American Archi
tecture. This text is also used for
the University’s course
Roth reasoned that there were
several possibilities why a course
had not I wen offered before at the
University.
"One. we're dealing with a lack
of appreciation for Native Amer
ican cultures that has unfortu
nately always existed regarding
recording tribal histories and
architecture use." he said. "In the
past 40 years, research has only
begun to scratch the surface con
cerning how much information
then* is to find out about Amer
ican Indian buildings and com
munity lifestyles. It’s a complex
process of gathering materials in
the last few decades at universi
ty departments across the
nation."
Roth has been extensively
researching American Indian
building traditions and cultures
since the early 1970s. The serxmd
edition of his book, A Concise
History of American Architecture,
will include 10 chapters of the
histories involved with Native
American architecture buildings.
"I really enjoyed the class."
said Nick Yamodis. a 22-year-old
senior undergraduate in archi
tecture. "This was the first course
that exposed me to all the U.S.
regions in which Indian tribes
existed.
Several students also com
mented on the respect for the
land and environment American
Indian communities traditional
ly have, both in the past and pre
sent
"Most American Indian cul
tures did not regard land or mate
rials to destroy or lake advantage,
they had a utilization process that
cannot be found anywhere in
modem architecture construction
or land use today, which is real
ly terrible." said Terry McNulty,
a graduate student in an.hiter.1ure
who took the course. "Many
American Indian structures, even
now, reveal conventional art, his
tory, mysticism and spirituality
like no other culture I've learned
of," he said.
Additional keynote speakers '
and possible travel trips will l>e
included in the course. Also,
students have the option to
build models selecting the par
ticular era, region and tribe
while using as close to natural
materials available for construc
tion that American Indians
would have utilized.
"If there is one thing I hope all
students may learn taking this
course, 1 hope it would be that
there are only a few common
characteristics among tribes in
any region of the U.S. concerning
architecture, and that each tribal
heritage has a deep ceremonial,
spiritual lifestyle reflected in their
shelter and community life,"
Roth said. "After this course, I
hope students may view all types
of buildings and residential inter
relationships in a different light."
