Clear roofs, supply food LHR volunteers tight snow By RICH EBER Of The Emerald For volunteers who have do nated their time to Lane Human Resources (LHR) Center, less glory has been granted than en emy casualties in a John Wayne movie. The hours have been long and the work tedious as volunteers have fought the effects of the record-breaking snowiall. Many people have stayed over night at the LHR offices on East 6th in order to handle cases early in the morning. Willie Mims, head of the cen ter, gave credit to all segments of the community for helping out. He singled out the work of University students, saying, “A great amount of gratitude is due to University kids who have un selfishly given their time to help the needy.” Remarkably, the spirit of the volunteers has remained high. As one girl said, “You have to be cheerful and happy just to keep going.” Averaging 215 calls during the 12 peak hours of the day, life in the LHR center is a scramble at best. Tire chums must on most streets Chains are required for trav el! whether you’re planning a cross-town ride, or a long trip. According to the Oregon State Police, chains are required on Interstate 5 north to Albany and south to Cottage Grove. Chains are mandatory on all highways and roads traveling east or west. The Eugene City Police re port that efforts are being made to clear the city’s main streets before tonight’s expected snow fall.

Typical of a case LHR has handled was the purchase and delivery of food to a welfare family sick with the flu. They were without money be cause their check had not come in from Salem. Monday night an alarm came in from two sisters over 80 Lane Human Resources direc tors have requested that stu dents wishing to participate in volunteer emergency programs contact the center’s offices at 342-5567. Volunteers may work in the offices or in groups clear ing roofs and delivering neces sary supplies to families in need. Offices are located at 34 East Sixth Ave. years of age in Springfield whose roof was caving in. A jeep with six “roof jockies” was dis patched to the scene. Although the road leading to the home was covered with three feet of snow for one-half mile, the vol unteers trudged the distance to the isolated house. Fortunately, the rescuers were able to save the roof. Delivering firewood, trans porting the sick to hospitals, having prescriptions filled, and purchasing food for invalids and the needy, are among the tasks LHR has undertaken. Mims said he was very pleased with the community response to the emergency. Response to LHR volunteers has ranged from amazement to gratitude. One elderly gentleman asked a volunteer wearing an Oregon sweatshirt if he actually went to that place. Most people helped by LHR were grateful and if possible contributed money to help off set the large debts run up by the organization in purchasing goods to give the poor. Various merchants in the Eu gene-Springfield area including Medo-Gold Dairy, Pietro’s Pizza, and Williams Bakery, have con tributed food, wood, and gas, to meet the emergency. Parking, heating... (Continued from page I) The EMU will be open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. and all services will be provided. According to Don Smith, assistant University Librarian, the general library, including the reserve book room, the science library, the architecture and allied arts library and the law library will be’ open today from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. On Thursday, Friday, and the weekend, the general library will be open from at least 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Co-op will not be open because many of the staff live out of town and no parking space is available for them, according to G. L. Henson, Co-op manager. Henson said he would try to get a skeleton crew together and open Thursday. McArthur Court has also been closed because of a possibility the roof may collapse from the weight of the snow. Mac Court is the only building on campus in such danger according to Henshaw. He said there was also no danger of power outages on campus since all wires were underground.

If you’ve ever resorted to NoDoz®at4a.m. the night before an exam, you’ve probably .been disappointed. NoDoz, after all, is no substitute for Sleep. Neither is anything else we can think of. What NoDoz is is a very strong stim ulant. In fact, NoDoz has the strongest stimulant you can buy without a prescrip tion. Caffeine. What’s so strong about that? If we may cite The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics: Caffeine is a powerful central nervous stimulant. Caf feine excites all portions of the central nervous system. Caffeine stimulates all portions of the cortex, but its main action is on the psychic and sensory functions. It produces a more rapid and clearer flow of thought and allays drowsiness and fatigue. After taking caffeine, one is ca pable of more sustained intellectual ef fort and a more perfect association of ideas. There is also a keener apprecia tion of sensory stimuli. Very interesting. But why take 1 »w mtol-Myw Ox NoDoz when you can get caffeine in a cup of coffee? Very simple. You take NoDoz all at once instead of sipping coffee for 10 min utes. And if you take two NoDoz tablets, the recommended dosage, you get twice the caffeine in a cup of coffee. Two tablets—isn’t that likely to be habit forming? Definitely not. NoDoz is completely non-habit forming. Which means it’s safe to take whether you’re cramming at night. Or about to walk into an 8 o’clock class. Or driving somewhere (even though you’re rested) and the monotony of the road makes you drowsy. One last thing you should know about NoDoz. It now comes in two forms. Those familiar white pills you take with water. And a chewable tablet called NoDoz Action Aids’6. It tastes like a choc olate mint, but it does everything regular NoDoz does. And if you’ve managed to stay awake this long, you know that's quite a lot.
