Minority law Day helps
students pick a path
The Knight Law Center will host
its annual Minority Law Day on
Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 3:30
p.m. The event is aimed at Universi
ty and community college students,
members of the community and
high school students.
“The goal of the conference is to
really open up the idea of law
school to students,” said Richard
Ludwick, the law school’s assistant
dean for student affairs. “We want
to promote a climate of diversity in
the school.”
Discussion sections will focus on
the different paths that students may
take to get into law school and the
paths they may walk after completion.
Ludwick said the job possibilities
for law school graduates are incredi
bly diverse and numerous.
“If you have the tenacity and the
ability for hard work, then law
school can be a good door for any ca
reer,” Ludwick said.
According to the school’s goals
statement, “The law school’s cur
riculum is enhanced by discourse
made possible when its students
and faculty share heterogeneous
backgrounds.” Translated, this
means education is more valuable
when classroom discussions in
clude perspectives from individuals
with a wide variety of backgrounds.
The registrar’s office reported that
66 students from minority groups
were enrolled at the law school during
fall term, compared to 407 non-His
panic white students; 38 people de
clined to participate in the survey.
Administrators at the law school
are hopeful that events such as Mi
nority Law Day will help convince
students that law school can be part
of their academic career.
“If I can make it through law
school, anyone can,” Ludwick joked.
The event is free, but requires
prior registration. Registration will
remain open until Wednesday
morning and can be made by
e-mailing or phoning Richard Lud
wick at rludwick@law.uoregon.edu
or 346-3896 and leaving full name,
e-mail, mailing address and phone
number.

Pottery
continued from page 1A
regular 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. hours,
Monday through Saturday.
Pottery’s accessibility doesn’t
necessarily imply simplicity. It has
evolved from ancient roots to one
of the most celebrated art forms in
the world. According to ceramic
tile importer Artistic Tile and
Stone, the oldest known body of
pottery works date back to the
Japan’s Jomon period — from
about 13,000 B.G. to 300 B.G.
Throughout the art form’s histo
ry, there have been three distinc
tive types of pottery. The first,
earthenware, was primarily made
of blended clay and baked hard.
The invention of glaze allowed for
waterproofing and gave way to the
second type of pottery, called
stoneware. This variation was pre
ferred for domestic use because of
its non-porous quality.
Glazing not only made the pot
tery creations more practical, but
produced a wide array of colors and
textures. These color schemes were
achieved by mixing natural miner
als with the glaze ingredients. For
instance, copper would produce the
color green, while cobalt produces
the color blue and so on. These mix
es were created without specific sci
entific knowledge, and potters
guarded their secret recipes, hand
ing them down from one generation
to the next.
Historians point to a third type of
pottery, which was invented in Chi
na and emerged as the earliest form
of porcelain.
These days, the word pottery is
likely to evoke an image of someone
hovering over a potter’s wheel.
While the University offers classes
that give students extensive training
in this realm of pottery, would-be
artists don’t necessarily have to en
