Controversial Saturday Mart
to open at courthouse in June
The Saturday Market will re-open downtown in
the courthouse plaza during the first week of June.
After several months of argument between city
commissioners, citizens, and craftsmen, the Lane
County commissioners voted 2-1 Wednesday to
permit the controversial market operation on
Saturdays at the plaza site until Sept. 1. Last month
the commissioners voted 2-1 against use of the
location
Backers of the Saturday Market have been
looking for a place to re-open since ending
operations at the 10th and Oak Overpark last fall.
Under the Saturday Market plan, vendors set up
tables to sell such things as homemade candles,
beads, pottery, and other art items and home-grown
produce.
The key to Wednesday’s favorable vote was
commissioner Jess Hill, who changed his mind
about opposing the market when backers offered to
operate it on a trial basis only through August.
Market committee members had indicated earlier
that they wanted to use the site through the fall
months.
Another tactor which aided the market s cause
was support from downtown Eugene merchants.
Mrs. A. Robert Thomas, a Saturday Market
director, submitted a petition to county com
missioners Wednesday signed by representatives of
71 downtown firms favoring the plaza site. The
peitiion was obtained since the opposing vote of a
month ago.
Principal commission opponent of the market
was Kenneth Omlid, who argued that the plaza area
is not intended for commercial activities. He fur
ther expressed concern for the safety of people who
would visit the Saturday Market in light of recent
demonstrations in the area.
Mrs. Thomas noted that she believes the market
atmosphere will be such that there is less apt to be a
confrontation there than elsewhere in the city.
Robert Harris, a craftsman with the Saturday
Market, added that the outdoor operation will bring
in much-needed commerce to downtown Eugene.
“And to sell flowers in the spring time is a beautiful
thing,” he added.

that he had thought physical education was “a waste of
time,” but now realized it was “one of the best things
that ever happened to me.”
Kugene Dils, Director of University Placement
Center, said that when he hung up his football suit after
college he realized he was “ignorant”. “1 wasn’t taught
activities I could use after college.”
"I think the bleeding hearts that want to reduce
restraints are right, but they’ll get small thanks from
those who get bleeding ulcers and heart attacks in early
life,” he said. “I think the things students learn about
taking care of their bodies and physical activity may
have^nore far reaching effects than other disciplinary
skills ”
The ASUO Senate asked the faculty to postpone the
consideration of the proposed changes until they had
completed a student poll on the requirements. In a
preliminary poll completed Tuesday, students voted to
abolish the health requirement and on the P.E.
requirement, 1350 voted to keep some form of P.E.
requirement and 918 voted to abolish it
At the meeting, ASUO President Hon Eaehus spoke
against the P.E. requirements and ASUO Senator Fred
Loveys, spoke for it. Eaehus said he thought the students
who wanted to take P.E. classes would have a better
chance to use faciililies if requirements were dropped.
levies, however, said abolishing the requirement
would “destroy what it means to be an educated person,"
and added if one requirement were dropped all un
dergraduate requirements should be abolished.
The changes proposed by the ad hoc committee on
undergraduate education were the second series of
changes proposed by the committee over the past two
years. Last spring, the faculty approved major changes
m group requirements and grading policy proposed by
the committee.
Allman said they plan to consider the foreign language
requirement next.
