Keefe in dicated if enough students indicat cd that they would use bus trans portation, he would consider starting another route. Service Projects Committee Seeks VolunteerWorkers Letters explaining the ASUO service projects have been sent to all University living organiza tions, and names of students in terested in working on some type of service project are being col lected by the committee in charge of the program. Dave N'oall, chairman of the ASUO service projects commit tee, said at a meeting of the com mittee Thursday night that the letters give examples of the type of work and openings available through the program Committee members will be contacting each living organiza tion early next week for names of persons interested in partici- i pating in a service project. The ASUO committee, Noall said, serves as a publicity and recruiting organization on the campus for the Community Vol unteer Office in Eugene. Names received by the ASUO committee will be referred to the downtown office, which will assign them to service projects. Members of the service proj ects include Susan Whipple, Mary Piper and Karen Young. The committee will meet again at 9 p m Tuesday in the Student Union. Morrison has asked aii stu dents living in Westmoreland arid Amazon housing developments, who would use bus transportation, to sign up in the ASUO presi dent's office this week and next. The president’s office is on the third floor of the Student Union. Morrison stressed several hun dred students would have to in dicate an interest in using the bus route to assure its develop ment. There are over 400 units in Westmoreland and 200 in Ama zon. Keefe told Morrison he would consider a bus route running every hour or half-hour from Westmoreland and Amazon dis tricts directly to the campus and then returning The busses would make a minimum number of stops and follow a direct route to the campus. The proposed route would run from 7 a m. to 6 p m. Morrison said at the present time he was not attempting to establish any other bus routes Such routes might be formed lat er if concentrations of students needing transportation could be plotted. • • • Debate (Continued from I) niors.
