Sabin Replies to Co-op Letter By THORA WILLIAMS Feature Editor Vic Sabin. ‘Save the Side" leader, replied Monday to a let tei sent b> the Co-op Board tell ing the Co op version of the Will co . building events and urged members to vote for the build ing s demolition. Membership receipts must be presented to vote at the meeting, f p m. Wednesday in the Student Union. Purchase in 1955 The Willcox building, housing the College Side Inn, was pur chased in 1955 as a site for future e. pension. The trouble started when the Coop attempted to make "this dream of a new build ing a reality” and, in 1963. or dered demolition of "the hazard ous Willcox building." according to the Co op letter, signed by Dick Imwalle. president of the board of directors. Sabin, former University stu dent. has spearheaded a drive to save the building because of its traditional and unique architec ture. The Co-op letter stated that Sabin, last summer, led an at tempt to “take advantage of the slight summer enrollment by call ing a special meeting of the mem bership.” Sabin replied, "The only reason to have the meeting last summer was to hold the building until the fall when the members could vote. The question of whether to destroy the Willcox building had never come before the members despite petitions, an ASUO bal lot and a letter sent by the entire Architecture and Arts faculty urg ing the Board to save the build ing.” Move Untimely According to the Co-op letter, “this untimely move was not in the best interest of the member ship ” and so the Board refused to turn over the necessary mem NSA... (Continued from fage 1) dent Non-violent Co-ordinating Committee’s (SNCCi efforts for equality in voting rights in the South, and encouraged member schools to donate to the SNC'C voter registration drive either through the use of student govern ment money, donation drives, or collection of food and clothes. Charles Scattergood, according to a resolution introduced by the University of Washington delega tion, was endorsed and supported by NSA as a SNCC representative. He will present monthly reports and propose guidelines for sug gested direct regional action in civil rights matters. Other Talks Heard The delegates also heard talks by Tim Martin on CORE’S activi ties in Seattle housing; Ernest Barth, a sociologist from the Uni versity of Washington, on the his tory of race relations in the Unit ed States; Charles Valentine on ‘Southern Apologists”; Bruce Gordon a SNCC field representa tive, on the policies of his group Jim Teasdale, a junior in poli tical science who headed the dele gation, said the value of the re gional conference was the estab lishment of ties with other schools and their resources and ideas. “As a group working on a proj ect we can accomplish a lot,” he said. Civil Rights He continued, “One of the roles of NSA is to bring issues such as civil rights to campus and make students sensible and more in formed on these subjects. “It was obvious from this con ference that discrimination does exist," he said, “not only in em ployment but in other areas. NSA, working with CORE, SNCC, and NAACP can help promote the civ il rights movement in strengthen ing its own organizations. The re gional organization is a useful vehicle in this." I Porters for MESH SOY TOFU 39c a cake 270 W. 8th 343-7011 bership list. As Sabin pointed out, it resulted that the meeting .as not necessary anyway, as )rin K. Burrell, faculty Co-op Board member, stated that the architect had advised that con struction on the proposed expan sion could not begin until next spring and the Willcox building not have to be destroyed until then. Attorneys, engaged by both sides, met and arranged that the Co-op Board should set up sev eral committees and that Sabin should appoint a representative to each. This was done. The Co-op letter stated that Sa bin "refused to work with the plan and has shown an unwilling ness to wait for the committee re ports as previously agreed." Sab in said. "The committee on Pos sible Uses of the Willcox Building submitted a report to the press, with my name as a supporter of it. I wish in no way to be iden tified with this report (publish ed in Monday's Emerald), as the estimates for restoration are far too low. Eleven reasons why the new Co-op facility should be built on the site of the old Willcox build ing were listed in the letter. The Co-op Board cited the ex pense and incons enience of the I present "two plant" operation — necessity of travel between the two locations, transferring inven tors, additional personnel. It stat I ed that more trade book space is needed. According to the letter, "To meet Cits Building Codes and fire ; restrictions for the area, the Will ' cox building svould have to be j completely rebuilt of fire-resis tant materials. The Willcox build ing by law. cannot be restored to its original state as materials used in initial construction do not com ply svith existing regulations." Sabin Critical Sabin criticized the Board for not mentioning possibilities of ap peal to the Eugene City Council about variances. "In fact, the act ing building superintendent told me last week that there svould ASUO Group to Help With Student Charity Students who wish to donate specific amounts of time to local charities may do so through the ASUO Service Projects commit tee. Presidents of all living organiza Kelley In Race For Judge Post Richard S. Kelley, associate pro fessor of the School of Law, has announced his candidacy for Lane County Circuit Judge. The judicial position he seeks is the new fourth position created by the Legislature last spring to take care of the county’s great case load, which is the highest per district in the state. Eugene attorney Edwin E. Al len is temporarily the judge. He was appointed by Governor Mark Hatfield to serve for one year be ginning January 1. Allen also in tends to run for the office. William Fort, Edward Levy, and Roland Rodman are the three other judges. Kelley stated he is running be cause he feels that a law teacher as a judge would offer the county “the opportunity to make use of the services of a person trained in depth of the law.” He commented that the trial judiciary candidate pool is restric ted and excludes those who are trained in law' but are not in prac tice. “The background of a lawyer is in winning cases. A law teacher understands the law as a com posite of social order,” he re marked. Public Has Misconception The public holds the miscon ception that teachers are imprac tical, according to Kelley, yet doc tors who teach at medical schools also treat patients and are con sulted on cases. Therefore, law teachers should be allowed to per form both as instructors and as public officials. He also said that law teachers have been called to the appellate bench as advisors, which shows the Government’s confidence in their ability to remedy trial judi ciary. Kelley was born in Lisbon Falls, Maine, where he graduated from high school. He attended the Uni versity of Michigan and received his Bachelor’s Degree in 1942 and his law degree in 1948. He earned his graduate law degree from the University of California in 1952. Worked for Bank The candidate worked in the trust department of the National Bank of Commerce in Seattle and was a teacher of business admin istration at Oregon State Univer sity. He was a law professor at Creighton University law school in Omaha, Nebraska. In 1951 and 1952 he practiced law in Corval lis. Kelley has been a member of the UO faculty since 1958. I tions now have both individual : and group volunteer cards which | may be completed and returned j to the committee. Off campus students should con i tact Mary Kae Ronnau at 344-7098 I if they wish to participate. A committee representing all on and off-campus living areas has been organized. The committee , has access to all sen ice organiza ! tions in Eugene and the volun teers needed by these groups, and has contacted the student body and all existing service groups. Sixteen organizations, including the Red Cross, Tuberculosis Asso ciation. Pearl Buck School. Boy Scouts, and others have indicated their need for volunteer help. Luvaas Heads John Luvaas, chairman pro tempore of the committee, com mented -,Here is an excellent op portunity for any student who would like an activity for his school, community, or self, regard less of previous experience. No one will be refused this opportuni ty.” Students not contacted through their living organization may call Luvaas or any other committee member. Committee members are Jan Zwick, Ann McCallum, Gordie Zimmerman, Cathy Neville, Jim Abrams. Claudie Hollenbeck, Joe Holloway, and Mary Kae Ronnau. SU Calendar 7 :30 a m. to 11 :00 p m.

The Co-op letter noted that the Hoard did not at any time consider using the WiUcox build ing "because its general design would not nro\ ide sufficient space for immediate needs, and would not allow future expansion.” The ! WiUcox building would not al low addition of levels as space is required, but a new building would offer this flexibility. The Co-op letter said restora tion estimations exceed $250,000 Sabin responded, "This is an ar bitrary figure, elaborately and delicately acquired by the Co op Board-" and he again noted that it does not take into consid eration an appeal for "reasonable variance." According to the Co-op letter, “no other property is available in the area ” Sabin said, "1 would not even bother to refute this since the official committee report states that other property is available And what about t h e center of campus?" Other Points Other Co-op points are that the present bookstore was construct ed with a knockdown wall and could easily be made part of the main building, that the 10 per cent student rebate would be affected if the cost of rebuilding and maintaining the Willcox building were undertaken, that there would Ik1 greater efficiency in service and management and rebate assurance with a new building. It is also stated that the new Co-op would include a student operated center, member owned and controlled "for student relax ation. study, conversation and meetings." Sabin called the points con corning the rebate "scandalous scare tactics to frighten the members into a decision to follow the Board.” He said, “If they were interested in efficiency, and service, they would have actively sought a location central in the campus, such as at Oregon State University.” CAMPUS BRIEFS Talent interested in trying out for the Winter Carnival Talent Show. to 1m- held Fch. 21 in Brtwl. 4)«>ukl turn in a dcucrip Item to r-*.m 30** SI’ flescriptions include ;*.t Ira*t «ne name and num her. type •: .tit. and example* of number v ■ Learn to »ky dive—the sport of the spate age.
