NEWS BRIEF
Civil Rights leader's legacy
to be carried on tonight
Yolanda King, Martin Luther King
Jr.'s daughter, will share her father's vi
sion in a speech titled "The Dream is
still a dream" at 7 p.m. tonight at the
McDonald Theatre.
King is a social activist and actress
who has used the stage and her work for
human rights to advocate social change,
according to an event press release.
Event coordinator Betty Snowden
said she hoped King's visit will inspire
people to live the dream championed
by her father.
"It would be nice to have her here
after the street naming (of Centenni
al Boulevard to Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard) to give a message of hope
to the community," Snowden said.
The show will also feature music
and a full reading of Martin Luther
King Jr.'s famous "I have a dream"
speech. The civil rights leader deliv
ered the speech on Aug. 28, 1963 in
Washington D C.
Event tickets, which cost $ 10 for the
general public and $8 for students
and seniors, are available at the venue
and the UO Ticket Office. For more
information call 342-0606.

CORRECTIONS
In the headline "Student-owned club Indigo Scene to open” (ODE, Oct. 16), the club should have been
identified as "Indigo District.”
In "Trademark stifles free speech" (Oct. 21), the column states that the “Oh Girls" calendar features 12
girls. Only eight girls appear in the calendar.
Monday's editorial, “Recent incidents prove cautious behavior is best," stated that four girls discovered
the “campus masturbator" after he entered their home. Only two girls found him.
Monday’s story about Genesis Juice Coop, "Genesis may be closing its doors," referred to the “Federal
Drug Administration." The agency is called the “Food and Drug Administration.”
The headline for Monday’s wire story about Mother Teresa's path to sainthood ("Mother Teresa elevated
to sainthood by pope") was inaccurate. Pope John Paul II only held a beatification ceremony for Mother
Teresa, which is the first stage of sainthood. A second miracle must be authenticated before she is ele
vated completely.
The Emerald regrets these errors.
PROFESSORS

for many professors, but the most im
portant thing to do is walk around
the dassroom and not just be "a talk
ing head at a lectern. *
Lininger said also that interacting
with students is a vital part of helping
them to leam and understand course
material, which is why he uses so
many gimmicks to make his classes
interesting.
Besides showing clips from TV
shows, Lininger teaches students
about ethics by letting them play a
law-focused version of "The Dating
Game," and he also gives out spedal
chocolate bars as a learning tool.
They're called "Hearsay" bars and they
even have the "ingredients" of hearsay
printed on the back of the label.
'This course has been notoriously
dry in the past," Lininger said. "It
needed to be livened up."
Mark Gall, head of teacher educa
tion at the University, agreed that a lot
of these techniques can be effective in
maintaining student interest, but he
cautioned that they won't necessarily
help students leam more.
"Students often judge a professor on
whether they're entertaining, but
they're not in the best position to judge
how much they learned," Gall said.
However, Wilkinson said a little
humor is a welcome relief for non
majors who take courses just to fill
general education requirements. She
added that more professors need to
lighten up.
"I think it's cool that a teacher can
make the class humorous when we're
talking about serious stuff," she said.
White agreed that it's important to
have a sense of humor about things.
"Here I am, I'm the age of their
mothers and I'm talking to them
about animal sex," she said jokingly.
