Over 100 violators of the be
tween-c lasses detour on Kast
13th avenue between Kincaid
and University streets have been
cited since the opening of fall
term, Kugene Police Chief Ted

As many as five officers at a
time have been stopping errant

drive to enforce the 10-minute
detour. Chief Brown has said that
the officers will continue their
drive "as long as violations oc- j
cur." The campus planning com

Stopped to protect the heavy be
tween-class pedestrian traffic,
according to J o. Lindstrom,
University business manager. He
said that the committee went to
the city council and urged the ap
proval of the 10 minute stops.
The city council agreed to
recognize the stops, designed and
tested by the state highway
commission, and further agreed
to share the cost evenly with
the university.
In accordance with the agree
ment made, there is one city
officer on duty in the area for
eight hours a day. The University
in return pays the salary of one
police officer. This is in effect
the same us a cam [ms policeman
but, said Lindstrom. the regular
officer Is better trained and more ;
respected.
Lindstrom expressed regret,
that so many had been stopped
but pointed out that they had
been violating the law and that
violations must be stopped if the
10-rninutc stops are to have any
effect.
Flashing red blinkera are be
ing installed near the atop lights
to attract attention to them dur
ing the break because a number
of persons had complained that
the lights could not be seen.
