Jerry Utti was acting chairman at the meeting, in the absence of President Dick Im walle. The meeting was concerned with reports from the Co-op board, and Vic Sabin, former Uni versity student who advocates restoration of the Side. Reports involved estimates of money re quired to restore the Willcox building Sabin claimed that the $25,000 estimate by Mr Kennedy, the Co-op’s engineer, was too high, and he and his engineer. Mr Eugene Schaudt. said that the building could be restored in stead for $14,300. Schaudt Appraisal High Schaudt appraised the West gate portion and balcony of the Side higher than did Kennedy, and appraised only $5500 for the north wall, which adjoins the book store, contrasting to Ken nedy’s estimate of $15,000. A Co-op committee investigat ing possible uses of the Willcox building recently toured the build ing to become more familiar with its needs. Sabin served as guide for the committee, which is undcr the chairmanship of Karen Kull berg. Summarizing the work of her committee, Miss Kullberg stated she thought they had "accomplish ed some work” in the investiga tion. Sabin stated that it would be “foolish of the community to al low the building to be destroyed.” He said he felt that his engin eer’s estimate was accurate, be cause Schaudt has considered all structural assets. Sabin hopes for a final decision on the future of the building by winter term. He said that if the board decided to destroy the building, a petition would prob ably be circulated for a special election to reconsider the decis ion. ^ In other business, Clark Stev ens reported on his committee’s actions to consider how near C o-op structures should be to liv ing areas and classrooms. His committee has also studied the availability of land that could be used for a new Co-op building. The next item of business con cerned investigation of the struc ture of the Co-op. Chairman Jerry Utti reported that Gerald Henson, manager of the Co-op. led his committee on a tour of the Co op to demonstrate office procedure, etc. Future plans for Utti's committee include a meeting with the Co-op’s attor ney to discuss the organization’s legal structure. The committee also plans to meet with members of Oregon State University’s Co op. to familiarize itself with their procedures. A lighter note was struck with the question of selling Plavboy magazine at the Co-op. The maga zine has not been sold there re cently because of criticism from University Mothers' and Dads’ clubs. However, after deciding that the magazine’s literary value had increased recently, a motion was passed to place the magazine in the Co-op again.
