said "That's what I look at I

Each class at Waldorf is
designed specifically for each
level of development a < hild

philosophies of Rudolf Steiner

site said "It's easy to homoge
nize people Public schools just
don’t have the money, resources
and people to give attention to
students as individuals."
Evans also likes the fact that
educators at Waldorf try to tie
every element of the curriculum
into one theme, such as farming
“Every child builds a dwelling,
a tiny one. like a little log cabin
that they can stay in for one night,
and in another class they plant
seeds, and take walks and study
local geography," Evans said. "It

farming. They teach a holistu
view of life."
One of the greatest success
factors of Waldorf schools is
parental participation, which
Evans said is expected to be a
large part of the ediu fltion of
their children.
"That's real important to me
because it was larking in my
life.” she said
In spite of the closeness of the
Waldorf school community,
Evans said the school shows no
traces of dogma.
''There is no resonance of cult
or closemindedness which is
real important to me and which
is a real relevant concern in our
society," she said.
In 1919. the first Waldorf
school was founded lor the chil
dren of the workers at Waldorf
Astoria Cigarette Factory in
Stuttgart. (lermany. Rudolf Stein
er (lKtil - l‘)2.r>), the founder, was
a sc ientist interested in applying
his theories about the develop
ment of the human being.
Following Steiner's teachings,
Waldorf schools attempt to
address the particular devel
opmental needs of children at
each level of schooling.
"There are two magic words
which indicate how tine child
enters into relation with his
environment," Steiner once
said. "They are: imitation and
example The Greek philosopher
Aristotle called man the most
imitative of creatures. For no age
in life is this more true than for
the first steps of childhood,
Indore the change of teeth."
FIS
Continued from Page 1
Eric Bowen, ASUO president, said the student
organization also is looking forward to using FIS.
Tracking student accounts for outstanding debts
proves difficult because accounting paperwork
could take nearly a month to complete, he said.
.Several student groups this term have already
requested help from the Incidental Fee Committee
to erase debt caused by mismanagement.
With the new system, the ASUO will lie able to
track student accounts and monitor expenses
immediately by computer, he said, which should
help end mismanagement. The ASUO currently
tracks student accounts by hand.
Racette said training sessions for staff will begin
late winter term and run through spring. Employ
ees that will be working directly with the new soft
ware have already begun training.
The computer system will have several levels of
securitv. from read only to full access to all
accounts, she said, adding that the system employs
several checks and balances that work against ille
gal use.
A prototype of the Manner Student Information
System. FIS was first introduced on the market
about three years ago. Kacettu said the University
wanted to wait on installing the system because
implementing FIS with the new student system
would prove too taxing to staff.
The University also wanted to wait for a later
edition of the software to ensure the system would
be free of bugs, she said.
The University and Portland State University
will Ihi the first schools to implement the system
in Oregon.
Other schools in the Oregon State System of
Higher Kdunation will lie implementing the system
during the next three years.
OSSHE will fund the University's switch to FIS.
The state Legislature allocated funding for the FIS
program during the last session, Racette said.
