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."

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

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.

noi even or a promem u me
building had born properly main
tained," ho said.
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.”
