AAA: Students consider new name ■ Continued from Page 1 “Communication is invariably person to person,” he said. "We have students who do research together. Could it be better? Of course. Everything can be better. There’s actually a lot more com munication than the exhibit might suggest.” But Wagner disagrees. “It seems like it is very com partmentalized,” he said. "The cross-fertilization is limited; there is not a lot of collaboration between faculty in different de partments.” Around the cafe are alterna tives to the school’s name that put each department’s name in place of “Architecture,” as well as suggestions of non-departmen tal specific names. “What’s in a name? What’s in the name, ‘The School of Archi tecture and Allied Arts,”’ a dis play in the cafe reads. "What does it say, imply, infer about you? Does it represent the com munity you are a part of? The collective goals, the activities of all the students and professors? What does this name represent to you?” Pieces of butcher paper are placed on the walls next to the suggested names for people to write comments. “What’s with the name ‘Archi tecture and Allied Arts?’” one person wrote. “We are supposed to be interdisciplinary and inte grated, so why does architecture stand alone? Is architecture not a part of allied arts?” “I think they miss the point,” Melnick said of the suggested al ternative names. “The name is not the issue; the issue is com munication within the school.” When the school was estab lished in 1914, it had no depart ments, Melnick said. It didn’t gain that structure until the 1960s, and it has had its current name for almost 85 years. Mel nick said he is a proponent for the deeper questions the exhibit is trying to raise, but not for changing the name. “There’s tradition there,” Mel nick said. “Alumni all over the world identify with [the name]. What’s more important is the way faculty and students are treated within the school." Tracey Althans, a graduate stu dent in historical preservation and planning, said the exhibit has prompted some disagree ment between members of the school, but the class welcomes more discourse. They have dis played their e-mail address as an avenue for more comments but have not received messages. “This isn’t an exhibit that is of ficial,” she said. “It’s an invita tion to participate in dialogue. That’s the sole purpose of the ex hibit.” The art exhibit will be dis played until Friday. On March 9, the class will display a follow-up exhibit, which will deal with the same issues and the history of the school. “We feel like the school that we are in is the most immediate environment we’re embedded in,” he said. “This is where we can impact people and begin dia logue." Hill: Officers support interim police chief ■ Continued from Page 1 job than I’ve done in the past." But Hill, who used to be head of department in vestigations and who is currently in charge of the technical services division, said he has not alto gether ruled out the possibility of applying for the position in the future. “I think this is a good opportunity to see how it feels,” he said, adding that “at some point down the road, I might be interested in filling the position [permanently].” Hill said he has reservations about occupying what he described as a “volatile" position because of its lack of job security. He added that he is the single parent of an 11-year-old daughter, and he wants to remain in a job where he will be able to stay in Eugene for an extended period of time. He said he is pleased at the amount of support he has received from officers within the department since he was appointed to the new position. But added that the job will present him with a challenge.“I guess I want to kind of proceed cau tiously,” he said. “It’s a big responsibility, and I don’t want to let anyone down.” Two suspects arrested for local robberies Each suspect allegedly robbed a branch of the Wells Fargo Bank By Jesse Sowa Community Reporter Eugene police made arrests Tuesday in relation to two differ ent Eugene bank robberies last week. Police said Holland Gabriel, 21, was arrested on two counts of first-degree robbery in connection with the Feb. 9 robbery of the Wells Fargo Bank at 2902 Port land St. The two counts stem from his display of a firearm and the threatened use of it against two tellers. Police surrounded Gabriel’s residence at 20 E. 37th Ave. at about 1:30 p.m. and called him to come out. He exited and was tak en into custody without incident. He was transported to the Eugene Police Department and later lodged at Lane County Jail on the charges stated above. An anonymous source gave po lice Gabriel’s name and the bank he allegedly robbed. Following several days of surveillance, po lice determined that Gabriel was at the residence and subsequent ly arrested him. Police also arrested Samuel Joshua Freeman for robbery in the second degree in connection with the robbery of the Wells Fargo branch at 207 Coburg Rd. on Feb. 12. Freeman was identified by his girlfriend as one of the two sus pects in the robbery. Freeman’s girlfriend was talking to police following a domestic dispute be tween Freeman and her on Tues day morning. Police detectives used her state ments and attempted to arrest Freeman at about 7:30 a.m. Tues day, but were unable to locate him. Later in the morning. Freeman appeared at the front counter of the police department wanting to discuss his involvement in the dispute. After talking with police, he was charged with the robbery as well as with assault in the fourth degree and lodged at Lane County Jail. Police are continuing their in vestigation of the robbery. A sec ond suspect has been identified, and police are attempting to lo cate him.
