Housing: Hall advertised to new students
Continued from page 1
director of Facilities Services, said.
Housing was able to approve con
struction of several of the more time
sensitive and less expensive alterna
tives, Wright said.
Other approved projects include a
kitchen and serving area, maintenance
tunnel between buildings, trickle venti
lators in room windows and staining of
concrete in major public areas.
“We want to be able to do the solar
hot water heating system,” Wright
said. Money is not yet available for that
project, but Wright said Housing will
have until late summer to approve it.
Wright added that Housing wanted
to build the solar water heating system
before projects like floor staining, but
because those projects were small,
they were approved.
“We exercise alternates that are
within the budget that we have at the
time,” Wright said.
Housing officials asked the contrac
tor, who generally works from 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m., to try and avoid loud activi
ties prior to 9 a.m. On Saturday, Hous
ing received three complaints from res
idents in nearby residence.
Housing will continue to cooperate
with and listen to concerns of resi
dents, Wright said. She added that she
isn’t aware of any students who have
moved out of nearby halls because of
the racket.
The Living Learning Center has
been advertised to prospective Univer
sity students on the housing Web site
and in pamphlets. Some future stu
dents have responded by making re
quests for placement in the facility,
Residence Life Associate Director Sheri
Donahoe, said.
Donahoe estimated that the Living
Learning Center will primarily house
first-year students.
“I think if I was a new student, I’d
want to check it out,” she said.
Contracting for the Living Learning
Center is being done by John Hyland
Construction, who also contracted the
renovation of Esslinger Hall in 1998.

Mankiller:
Teacher to take
on tribal issues
Continued from page 1
Mankiller said. “He has had a huge
and very positive impact on native
rights issues.”
The second reason is the Univer
sity’s reputation for its commitment
to American Indian issues.
“The U of 0 has a great reputa
tion among native people as a
school committed to native people
and other diverse populations,”
Mankiller said.
Mankiller and her husband, Char
lie Soap, will be leaving their home
in Oklahoma to live in Eugene for
fall term 2005.
“It requires some logistical plan
ning,” Mankiller said. “We’re very
tied to the land, to our home and
our families.”
The couple rented a home near
campus ; they will move to Eugene
in September.
“We are just going to immerse
ourselves in the campus and the
community,” Mankiller said.
There are several items on
Mankiller’s agenda for the class.
These include educating the student
and general population about con
temporary tribal issues, putting con
temporary issues in a historical con
text and trying to banish
stereotypes.
