Henson, at tended an organizational meeting at the College Side Inn Tuesday evening to discuss forming the University district chamber o f commerce. REZONING SOUGHT “Campus organizations like Lambda Chi Alpha, who want re zoning regulations so they can buy a house on University street, need the backing of an organization like the Civic Club when they present their appeal to the city council,” Dr. Clifford Clarke, acting chair man of the organization, said. The Civic Club plans action on district cleanup, attracting more businesses to the University dist rict, helping agitate for rezoning legislation, better street lighting, publicity for the district and spec ial projects like Christmas decora tions in the campus area. PLAN SUPPORT The University, University or ganizations, the Millrace Associa tion, and other local improvement groups will get the support of the club, Dr. Clarke stressed. The organization has no con nection with the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, according to Dr. Clarke. Only three of the local businessmen who attended the or ganizational meeting belong to the uptown organization. MEETING SET “Last year these local members were assessed $10 for Christmas decorations in the city, but none of these decorations were put in the campus area,” Dr. Clarke said. The club, which hopes to organ ize most of the business and pro fessional men in the area, will meet Dec. 14 to select officers and complete adoption of the consti tution and bylaws.
