No Change This Time Following a long discussion, on leaflet distribution and picketing in the SU building, the board re ferred a motion for policy change to a committee for action at next week’s meeting. As it stands now, "No one shall be permitted to distribute in the Student Union building any written material either prior to, during, or after any Student Union board spon sored program in the Union build ing or other University of Ore gon building or facility, unless that person is a member of a (Continued on pane 3) Board 'Aware' Of Problem KLAMATH FALLS fAP) — The State Board of Higher Education is assured an un derstanding audience when it asks next month for about $1.5 million from the State Emer gency Board. Senate President Harry Boi vin, I) Klamath Falls, chairman of the Emergency Board, said he was well aware of the prob lem facing higher education. “We want to give them every consideration,” he said. Increased enrollments threat en the institutions with a cri tical money shortage. The re quest for an additional $1.5 million is expected to go to the Emergency Board in late November. j Index I Classifieds page 7 | I Campus Briefs . page 2 1 t Editorials . page 6 I | Sports . page 4 1 THIS IS THE faculty club—the place where faculty members are not going for lunch. Instead they are crowding the students out of the Student Union. What a crush there is in the SU lunch lines! Rain and Communications ASUO Election Turnout Drops By PHIL SEMAS Associate Editor A combination of rain and “bad communications’’ caused a drop in turnout for the genera] election Wednesday and killed for one term hopes of passing some amendments to the ASUO Constitution. Only 2,622 students voted Wednesday, compared with 2,677 votes in last week’s primary. ASUO leaders had ex pected that the usual higher general election interest plus the Homecoming queen election which went on at the same time would bring better results. In order to pass those amendments, 25 per cent of the student body (about 3,050) had to vote and two-thirds of those voting had to vote yes. ASUO Vice-President Tom Clark, the officer in charge of Senate to Hear Report Review Issues Tonight The Millrace, the Student Un-1 ion Lobby, and reports from j ASUO President Steve Gold schmidt and National Student Association Delegates Lynn Mau ser and Juli Johnson will be the major topics of the ASUO Senate ’ meeting at 6:30 p.m. today in1 room 101 SU. Scott Farleigh’s ASUO campus planning committee has recom mended that the Senate call for a new channel for the upper Mill race. And a resolution introduced by Henry Drummonds’ Senate pub lic health affairs committee asks that the University review its SU Lobby policy. Drummonds’ resolution, if pass ed, would express Senate displea sure at a decision made by Uni versity President Arthur S. Flem ming last spring which allowed no groups to use the SU Lobby unless it “facilitates the opera tion of the building. Flemming also ordered that two shelters be built to house tables on the Student Union ter race but those shelters are not up yet. The Senate, if it adopts Drum monds’ bill, would be reiterating the suggestion it made last year ; that one table be allowed in the (Continued on page 2) rne election, attributed the drop in vote partially to the rain which fell intermittently throughout the voting. “It’s unfortunate that it had to rain,” he said, "but it’s also un fortunate that students didn’t know anything about the amend ments because of bad communi cations between the Senate and the students.” He was talking about a planned campaign of speeches in living organizations which never got off the ground. The campaign was to turn out the vote for the amendments, which were mainly procedural changes and clarifi cation of wording. Clark said 80 ballots on the amendment vote were left blank. The votes were not tallied by press time but the amendments apparently received the necessary two-thirds majority. The votes for individual offices: • Senator-at-large—Skip Clem ens 1,271, Vic Kucera 1,220, Chuck Pruitt 1,187, Fred Long - 1.138, Rich Jernstedt 1,109, Lee Bollinger 1,079, and Chris Las sen 948 were elected. Sherry Pit zer 903, Gary Young 827, Darryl Eng 819, Frank McCullar 715, Ron Jackson 541, and Mary Ann Holladay 402 were defeated. • Graduate student represent ative — Rod Roth 82, George Coughlin 57. • Married student representa tive—Jim Elliott 27, Robb Has kins 25. • Off-campus women’s repre sentative—Joan Young, unoppos ed, 100. • International student repre sentative—lima Maria Lynton 67, Tsu-huei Lui 59. • Freshman class president— (Continued on page 2) Co-op Gas Station Now 1A Possibility By ALLEN BAILEY Associate Editor "Forget it. It can’t be done” was what Vic Kucera and Bill Mansell heard last spring when they told others of their plans to develop a co-operative gasoline sta tion at the University. The station, which will give cash rebates to its members, similar to the University Co-op, may be started at the University within a year. Kucera, a junior in liberal arts and recently elected senator-at-large, and Hansell, a junior in business, are co-chairmen of the gas station project. All students and faculty members will be eligible for membership in the co-op. Prices Competitive Gasoline at the proposed station will sell at competi tive prices "to prevent a price war,” according to Kucera, and will be high-quality gas bought from the Pacific Co-operative Association. At the end of each school year, members of the co-op will receive cash rebates by presenting their receipts from the gasoline they have bought through out the year. Kucera conceived the idea of a co-operative gas sta tion when he ran for the University Co-op Board last spring, evidently taking inspiration from the Co-op’s operation. Then Kucera told Mansell of his proposal, Hansell was able to contribute a great deal of help. Since he lived on a farm, he was well-acquainted with the way in which a co-operative works. Last summer, while Kucera worked on a lookout tower in the desert, Hansell carried on most of the work. Basic plans and blueprints of the station, as well as an account of the finances that would be needed, were drawn up. James Hill, president of Pendleton Grain Growers’ Co-operative and past president of the Pacific Co-opera tive Association, is a personal friend of Hansell’s and offered to help the gas station project. Agricultural co-operatives offer gasoline and other commodities to farmers for prices much below the normal retail prices. Co-ops Banded Together Individual small co-ops (such as Pendleton Grain Growers) can’t afford to give the farmers their feed, gasoline, and other supplies at a low enough cost on their own, so the smaller co-ops in the Northwest have formed the Pacific Co-operative Association (PCA). Periodically, PCA calls for bids from various petro leum companies for a contract to supply gasoline. The companies which are awarded these contracts are always large, well-known companies. Last summer the PCA Board of Directors met to consider the plan submited to them by Hansell. The board liked it, and offered to supply gasoline and oil to the co-op. Since PCA will supply the gasoline for the Univer sity’s co-op gas station, the gas will be manufactured by the Mobil Oil Co.; the Union Oil Co. will supply motor oil. As far as initial investments are concerned, the gas pumps, storage tanks, air compressor and office and storage space will be the most expensive items. The station building itself will be quite small, since the co-op will offer no services except the sale of gas and oil. Plans call for a ten-by-four foot building, which should provide storage space for oil, room for stu dent employees to study in, and rest rooms. Two Students Employed According to Kucera, the station will employ two part-time students and one full-time manager. (The students will be able to study when they’re not waiting on customers.) Open hours for the prospective station have not yet been decided, but Kucera mentioned the possibility of its being open until 12 or 1 a m. Hansell feels that a co-op of this type, with a specific membership, should not have to be open any longer than from 8 a.m. to 5 a.m., since its members would have to buy their gas there to get refunds. For the first couple of years, the co-op will actually be a corporation, for business reasons. In a co-operative, the members are held financially responsible for any (Continued on page 2)
