Disgusted Driver Refunds Fares, Quits His Job BAKKRKFIICIJ)—(U.R)—A bun driver who said he lost 30 pounds In six months on his nerve wracking job tossed in the towel today because of the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. Cal Morrison said he took on a woman passenger Wednesday who Immediately accused him of making his previous round five minutes too early. He insisted he was promptly on schedule. Midway through the argu ment. Morrison stopped the bus, refunded the fares of all his pas sengers and declared somewliat belatedly: 1 "I quit.” They Work with the Juvenile Department YMCA 'Big Brothers' Take Care Of County's 'Problem Children' By Leonard Calvert Eight University of Oregon Stu dents are acting as "big brothers” to boys in the Eugene area. The "big brother” program is under the sponsorship of the campus chapter of the YMCA and in co-operation with the Lane County Juvenile de partment. Bob Briggs, sophomore in psy chology, and Fred Wilhelm, sopho more in liberal arts, started work ing with their "little brothers” fall term. Wilhelm has worked with two “brothers." Briggs has been working with just one boy. Boys Feel ‘Unwanted* Both Briggs and Wilhelm agree that the boys have a feeling of "being unwanted" and have a de sire to "belong to a gang or group." Wilhelm gave as an ex ample of the "unwanted feeling” the fact that the fourteen-year-old boy he is currently working with had trouble with the supervisor of the Skipworth Juvenile home and Bulldozer Breaks Campus Water Pipe A miniature “Old Faithful spouted near Friendly hall Thurs day when a bulldozer, working to clear old pavement, broke a six inch water main at 13th ave. and University st. The incident occurred at about 10:15 and water spewed for nearly 20 minutes before University workmen were able to shut off the water at a nearby valve and cap the line. The driver placed the bulldozer's shovel over the flow to keep water from drenching passing pedes trians and cars. ran away. The boy, whom w'e shall call Joe, was brought back and a j Kugene couple offered to adopt him and raise him with their own family, Joe attended Woodrow Wilson Junior High school, where, Wil helm said, he was watched crit ically by the faculty. After skip ping school a few times, the fos ter parents were told by a mem ber of the faculty that Joe was a bad influence on their own family. Now on Farm Joe seemed to sense that he wasn't wanted, Wilhelm said, and one night he got intoxicated and the family returned him to the home. Joe is now on a farm, Wil helm added, and at the last reports was doing very well. Another thing both “big broth ers” noticed was that the boys w'e re "very restless and unable ot sit still for very long.” Briggs said that they seemed to like to play pool and be downtown a lot where they can be seen and see other fellows. Briggs went on to state that the boy he is working with has very little self-confidence, but wants to be a “big shot.” The boy's parents are both college graduates and the boy himself seems to be college material. Boys Feel They ‘Don’t Belong’ Wilhelm and Briggs again stressed the fact that the boys seemed to feel that they didn't belong and that they need some one they could believe in and de pend upon. One of the purposes of the "big brother” program is to provide someone to fill this need. Wilhelm said that the “big brother" program is spreading to several universities in the nation. At California, athletes act as “big (Please turn to Page eight J Investigation of Millrace Promised by City Manager Eugene City Manager Orcn L. King promised the ASL'O senate Thursday that the city would begin working with the Millrace this week but noted the historic waterway had not yet been given a chance for fair judgment. He explained that the $20,000 bond issue approved by Eugene j voters had not been spent because | it had only taken about $20,000 to restore a water-grade flow. The race was damaged by flood waters shortly after the war. The funds donated by Oregon students, alumni and townspeople, approximately $24,000, had been thought sufficient, he said. Experimentation Needed He said experimentation with the whole race should be made j first to see if the water could be i made to run faster. If that failed, j he remarked, then more emphasis might be placed on the area above ! the up-race culvert under Franklin boulevard, the proposed-Millrace park area. It was suggested water could he diverted back to the Willamette through the overflow gate, located just above the head culvert. A report containing the Univer sity Planning commission plans for Millrace park will be submit ted to the senate next week, ac cording to ASUO President Bill Carey. The senate hopes to present this with a request to the Eugene City council that the bond issue be sold at some time in the future. ‘We’ll See’ "We will see what we can do (with the race) in the next 30 days," King stated. "The whole project (Millrace park and beauti fication of the area) seems beauti ful .. . but it isn't up to me to say what can be done." The question of the 30 inch cul vert which carries the water back to the Willamette was also dis cussed .several senators indicating it was too small. King agreed to this. "The 30 inch culvert may be par tially clogged," he explained. "We may be able to improve that but we will never be able to make the Millracc flow like it once did." In other action, the senate re affirmed the old executive council policy toward campus benefit drives, voted a varsity letter tor Art Backlund and beard Donak>~ DuShane .director of student af* fairs, explain reasons for several' statements in an Emerald story on deferred living.
