Newsgroups Continued from Page 1A “We had no clear policy that described why some groups would be removed and others not and why some would be added and others not,” Lehrman said. "The technology outran our abili ty to make policy.” Even though the University found the complaint unfounded, it wasn’t a total loss, Delf said. "I think some good things came out of it, but I think the decision was an evasion of taking respon sibility,” she said. Delf said she and Hunt are hap py that the University formed a committee to devise and institute newsgroup standards and an ap peals process. “We need a policy,” said John Moseley, provost and vice presi dent for academic affairs. “WeTe going to have a policy, and it won’t be a policy based on con tent. What I expect out of this pol icy is that newsgroups will not be removed based on their content except when content is illegal. "We’re just bending over back wards to be fair in this situation.” Student architecture welcomes campers By Sarah Skidmore Oregon Daily Emerald Visitors will see a creation made by more than 60 University students and some community volunteers when an entrance booth at the Silver Falls State Park is finished this May. Campers will be greeted by a concrete tile roof, hand-carved ceiling rafters, linen paneled walls, handmade maple furni ture and a hand-poured terrazzo floor. “There’s a refinement to this building that is a little bit differ ent,” said Stephen Duff, an assis tant professor of architecture who is spearheading the project. The quality of the entrance booth is coming to the park at a remarkably low cost, he said. The labor and craftsmanship is estimated by Duff to be worth $400 a square foot but will only cost the state about $100. Al though the elements are some what elaborate, all the normal functions of the structure remain, Duff said. “It is a plus on both sides. It is a plus for us and a plus for the state," Duff said. Silver Falls park is Oregon’s largest park and offers visitors 14 waterfalls and a vast number of trails and campsites. The 8,500 acre park is located east of Salem. The State Parks and Recreation Department made arrangements with the University for the pro ject more than a year ago. The benefit to the students is the experience of hands-on work that cannot be replicated, Duff said. “It is a very different way of learning than they are used to,” said Ashar Nelson, project man ager and University student. "We have spent so much time studying structure, to make the cuts and put the things together — it makes so much more sense," said Victoria Kirk, an architecture student who has been working on the project since last fall. In addition to meeting the functional needs of a structure, learning how to design and cre ate something that creates an emotional response is a value Courtesy-photo Architecture student David McClean lays out a tenon on top of a column. that Duff said he tries to instill in the students. The high level of detail and beauty in the structure are dis tinct elements of the booth's feel ing. There is a lot more attention to detail when working with Duff, Nelson said. Creating some thing that is not only functional, but also beautiful, is another ele ment of the project. “It is a very ordinary and very difficult thing to do,” Duff said. Other challenges students have faced are much more tangi ble, such as construction set backs and dealing witli the state, Nelson said. This reality of con struction and architecture is also a useful experience, he said. Students have the opportunity to participate in the program as part of a class in the AAA school. There are 20 students involved in the project this term, but ap proximately 00 have participated during the duration of the pro ject. Goose me.
