Minority students seminar subject
"The Minority Student on
Campus" was the theme of an
all-day workshop at the I'm
versity of Oregon Medical
School Child Development
and Rehabilitation Center i
Portland on Friday. May lh
The purpose of the work
shop was to help faculty in
the medical field to recognize
factors and attitudes that
may inhibit or promote the
learning process for minority
students.
The principal speaker. Dr
Oliver Osborne. Chairman >f
the Department of Psych'
social Nursing at th> Vtn
versity of Washington Sch< >1
of Nursing, gave a strornr.
direct speech.
A mixture of faculty, stu
dents and local communm
members involved in health
professions com prised the
audience of about 125. Vn
divided attention was held
while Dr. Osborne refused to
beat around the bush' in his
statem en ts that "faculty
members hold strong racial
bias."
He went on to explain
"most minority students are
different from the other stu
dents. They are more naive.
They want to know more
than whites, are more ser
ious about their studies and
take the curriculum more
serious. Whereas white stu
dents challenge the instruc
tor more, m inority stu
dents are ready to blame
themselves for failure."
Minority students have to
suffer character assasina-
tions. Dr. Osborne said.
Minority students are often
mistaken for aids or maids
by professionals and guests
while on duty in hospitals.
Stressing the potential and
new ideas that minorities are
sure to bring to the medical
field. Dr. Osborne ended his
speech with a different per
spective to methods of re
volving faculty attitudes to
ward minorities.
“Nursing
probably needs m inority
more than minorities need
nursing!"
The workshop continued
with group discussions, panel
discussions and a time set
out for audience response.
However the workshop was
not simply ended with a
friendly good bye and a re
turn to homes and old ways.
But instead, each faculty
member was asked to make
a commitment to use the
know ledge gained in the
workshop to promote learn
ing for at least one minority
student.

Hatfield asks
power increase
Construction of a second
powerhouse at B onneville
Dam "must be a top prior
ity item if the Northwest is
to meet its energy needs,"
Senator Mark Hatfield testi
fied Wednesday at Senate
appropriations hearing.
In urging a $3 million
addition to the budget for
work on the powerhouse
Hatield said, "Today’s energy
crisis requires a crash pro
gram in research as well as
imaginative, fast moving de
velopment programs.”
Hatfield said another pow
erhouse at Bonneville would
"more than double the dam's
generation of power."
President Nixon’s public
works budget for 1974 did
not include a request for
funds for the project.
"I have contacted Senators
Magnuson and Jackson urging
that we make the Bonneville
powerhouse the Number 1
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity.
Lawson was the attorney
in another landmark court
rase, that of Henderson vs.
Southern Railway Company.
In the case, he argued suc
cessfully before the U S .
Supreme Court that Blacks
were entitled to equal treat
ment and use of facilities
while traveling on railroads.
In that rase, the Court held
that the right to be free from
unreasonable discrim ination
belongs to each particular
person. Where a dining car
is available to passengers
holding tickets entitling them
to use them, each such pas
senger is equally entitled,
the Court ruled.
