Metzler said "When you’re trying to learn a body of work like calculus, this wouldn't work I don't know of any other classes where it would work except this class." The policy evolved out of a student's experience in the class about 15 years ago A young woman had planned to inter view' a local artist, but instead spent the interview avoiding his amorous verbal advances. The student ended the inter view and went to Metzler's office and told him that she had not gathered enough biographi cal information about the artist to complete the assignment and needed a deadline extension On the verge of tears, she explained the artist's behavior to Metzler In those days sexual harass ment was not commonly dis cussed Metzler said that he had not realized what female reporters sometimes encoun NORMAN ME 3MANA0I Emnil Ken kte trier, a Journalism professor, lectures to his Interviewing sem inar.

Her failure taught her and the rest of the class more than a suc cess would have. Metzler said. That incident became the basis for the "magnificent failure pol icy.” "I think you can learn a lot from failure," said Mark Mazurkiewicz, a seminar stu dent. "I think it's groat that then* are professors that recognize that in some cases failure con teach you more than success could " Mazurkiewicz and graduate student Michelle Nicolson agree that the class and its policies have helped them improve their interviewing skills Nicholson said that the class has enabled a chance to trou bleshoot for weaknesses in her interviewing style. "It's given me n chance to ana lyze my own techniques, whnt works for me and doesn't work for me." she said. The class is intended to help students do just that, said Arnold Ismach, dean of the school of journalism and com munications. It's the only class offered at the school that focus es for an entire term on inter viewing. "I think such a course would 1m* valuable to anybody in any of the communications fields," said Ismach. "We get much of the information we want by ask ing questions of people." I,air said she feels inspired by the ( lass, and especially by her small monetary reward. "It makes the real world seem not that far off," she said, "get ting paid is something obtain able.” POLICE BEAT Thtt following incidents were reported to tin* University Office of Public Sufety and the Eugene Police Department Jon. 25 to Feb. 2 • Two male student were cited for consumption on unlicensed premises on the 1700 block of Hil yard Street Jan. 22 • A 24-year-old student was cited for prohibited boot removal on the 1800 block of Potter Street Jan. 25 • A 2 1 -year-old student watt arrested Jan 27 lor a burglary that occurred Dec 30 According to police reports, the suspect hud stolen money and compact discs from the 700 block of East 11th Avenue. • A 18-year-old student reported parts of her bike stolen from the 1300 block of Columbia Street Jan 28 According to police reports, the victim found the seat, tires and cables removed from her bike, which was placed outside of her residence • Criminal mischief was reported on the 1700 block of Agate Street Jan 28 According to police reports, a passenger window of u University vehi cle had been broken, causing $50 in damage • A 19-year-old student reported a theft from Ins vehicle on East 13th Avenue and Columbia Street Jan. 28 According to police reports, sometiody had broken into his car and stolen the face-plate to the stereo, causing $295 of damage. • A 28-year-old student reported a theft from Lawrenue Hall Jan. 28.
