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.

To handle the calls for assist

in constant service.

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.

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.

Does it really work?
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.
