Summer update
Fraternities move; new
chapter starts
Student response during Fall
Rush will determine the exis
tence of a new fraternity chapter,
the Delta Chi.
If Delta Chi forms, it will re
main a chapter until it can fi
nance a house through member
ship dues.
Becoming a founding father of
the new Delta Chi ensures mem
bers have a lasting influence on
the formation and development
of the chapter, said Tim Pyle, a
Phi Gamma Delta member.
Other fraternity movements in
clude the relocation of the Pi
Kappa Alpha chapter into the
former Phi Gamma Delta house
on 15th Avenue and Alder
Street. The Pi Kappa Phi chapter
moved into the old Sigma Chi
house on 19th Avenue and Emer
ald Street. And the Delta Sigma
Phi chapter moved into the old
Sigma Alpha Epsilon house on
14th Avenue and Alder Street.
Discrimination suit
against UO settled
A discrimination lawsuit filed
by a former Office of Public Safe
ty officer, James Williams, re
ceived a mixed verdict. The court
found that Williams, an African
American, was the victim of a
hostile working environment at
OPS, but the court refused to
award any damages, saying the
hostility was not racially moti
vated.
The $1.1 million suit filed in
Lane County Circuit Court last
year alleged OPS sergeant, Ah
mad Tajwall, was the source of
hostility. Williams claimed non
white males were discriminated
against in the department.
The University said promo
tions are made on a case-by-case
r
basis and Williams fell short be
cause of poor performance. OPS
director Stan Reeves said there
was an African American officer
under Taj wall who received a
pay increase for merit.
The court has yet to decide to
award Williams compensation
for his legal fees.
Knight Law Center’s
opening delayed
The new University law school
has delayed the move into the
new Knight Law Center until
spring 1999.
The new 138,000-square-foot
building on the corner of 15th
Avenue and Agate Street will
house the entire law library col
lection.
The facility will have more
classrooms, a computer lab, a
video conference room and a
courtroom. Student lounges and
meeting places, such as “The
Commons," will allow faculty
and students to interact informal
ly
The move was scheduled for
after fall term, but networking the
phones and moving the library to
the Knight Law Center was not
practical in one month, said Jane
Gordon, Associate Dean of the
law school.
Senate Bill could
increase Pell Grants
The U.S. Senate voted 96-1 to
reauthorize the Higher Education
bill to help make college more af
fordable.
The bill proposed increasing
the Pell Grant award from $3,000
to $5,000 and lowering interest
rates on direct loan programs.
The interest reduction would af
fect University students and the
six other Oregon post-secondary
school.
The Senate voted down the
Harkin Amendment, 56-41. The
amendment would have reduced
student loan fees by 25 percent.
The Higher Education project
created in 1994 was a response to
$30 billion in proposed cuts to
colleges and universities.
Senator Jesse Helms was the
single vote opposed to the reau
thorization.
Summer Senate shares
funds with groups
The scaled down Summer
Senate allocated its money
quickly and was out of money by
August 10.
The Senate mediated the DDS
and ASUO tensions regarding au
thority over stipends and the use
of $50,000 students voted to allo
cate to DDS through a ballot mea
sure last spring. The money was
to pay for DDS service seven
days a week.
The ASUO Executive was con
cerned about the way the ballot
money was being spent and re
quested a line-item budget from
DDS for the ballot measure mon
ey. Ballot measure money histor
ically does not require a line-item
budget.
The money awarded by the
ballot measure could replace the
Programs Finance Committee al
located budget of $26,212 or sim
ply bring the lump sum to
$50,000 total.
DDS director Brandon Smith
has filed a 56-page brief with the
Constitutional Court requesting
clarification of questions of au
thority over ballot measure mon
ey and stipend allocation.
The Senate also allocated
$1,300 to the Philosophy Club,
$3,600 for the Spencer View Co
op Family Center and about $450
to Black Student Journalists.
