Committee seeks a revised cultural plan By Jim Davit O+gon Da*y Emarak; Issue* ranging from financial costa to the public's perception of the University were discussed at an open forum on the race, gender. non-European-American requirement yesterday. The forum held by the Assembly Committee on Multicul tural Curriculum was surprised when ASUO leaders gave their refusal to take part in the committee's process. Committee Chair Paul Engelking. left "feeling well about the forum " "I am disappointed that the ASUO decided to take their foot ball and go home," Engelking said, "but I've played enough sandlot football to know they'll come back when they realize they don't have a team." "I thought it was productive," said Tim Gleason, a journal ism professor and a member of the committee “I believe we saw many points of views that wo had not seen before Engelking said ho was happy about the general discussion. But he cited that he wanted to hear more from students. "Students have a groat stake m this requirement." Engleking said, "and the ASUO dropping out is making their worst fears come true." Students at the meeting, other than ASUO representatives, expressed concerns about the lack of a new requirement. “Racism is going on at this University," Don Addison, a doc toral student in the music department, said "We should not hide from it." We should support this movement, uaria L.rymos, an international studies undergraduate, said after the ASUO announcement. "It's a real issue on campus." However, several people expressed doubts about the effec tiveness of a new requirement "No amount of curriculum change will solve a 'social prob lem.” said j. T. Sanders, a professor of religious studies. He said the only way to fight against racism and hatred is to help the economy. Sanders also questioned the focus of the requirement, a con cern raised by many other people at the meeting. "The requirement should not bo inclusive to certain disad vantaged members of society." ho said "I would support a requirement that would give students an exposure to a world view," said Michael kellman. a chemistry professor. He said the current requirement seems to focus on the "vic tim-hood" of certain groups. Professor John Beck said the original proposal loft out some of the University's groups, the Jewish group for example. Beck said this was one issue the committee needs to address. Chris Phillips, an associate professor in Mathematics, brought up the financial questions of the requirement propos al. "We cannot ignore the budgetary situation that this Univer sity is in," Phillips said. "The committee can’t afford to spend extra money on this proposal when programs elsewhere have boon cut to the hone." Phillips also brought up the publicity of the multicultural requirement. "We received a lot of bad publicity from the Oregonian last year." he said. Marlene Drescher, director of the Office of Student Advoca cy, said the University has to be port*ived as a place for all stu dents. "We don't want to l>e perceived as a place for white flight," said Drescher "Students of color don't find this a very wel coming place, and the curriculum requirement must address this." * \\ iHfy J % NORTHWEST MICROBREW Friday and Saturday February 11-12 2 pm-10 pm a! the ^ Lane County Fairground) 1 1 EUGENE ♦ OREGON FEBRUARY 11-12,1994 r r More Ikon SO Miaobtewi on lop.
