13th Avenue site proposed
New information center planned
A volunteer-built and financed
University Information Center
may soon be built by the
University—but when and where
are as yet two unanswered
questions.
The Campus Planning Com
mittee Thursday approved of the
concept of such a center mi
campus, but waited on approving
any site or budget for the project.
Purpose of the center would be
for anyone—visitors to campus or
those who regularly are on
campus—to be able to obtain
information about the University
in one central location.
Presently, one desk in Johnson
Hall is fulfilling that puspose.
Students and faculty in the
School of Architecture and Allied
Arts originated the project’s
model this summer and
blueprints for the model were
drawn up Aug. 11. Designers of
the center were Susan Baker and
Mike Dorsey.
The site plan presented to the
Campus Planning Committee
had the center located at the
corner of 13th Ave. and
University St., on the small, now
grassy, area between Friendly
Hall and 150 Science.
The center would be, ac
cording to the AAA plans, an
approximately square building,
about 25 feet long and wide. The
building would not be stationary
with a foundation built into the
ground, but rather unconnected
so that the building could con
ceivably be moved.
At the planning committee
meeting, Jerry Kiethelm,
chairman of the open space sub
committee, recommended the
approval of construction for the
center. Diethelm pointed out that
the small, movable building
would be an informational as well
as visitational center, and said
the project originators feel the
desk in Johnson Hall isn’t
adequately serving this purpose.
Several planning committee
members raised objections to the
location of the center. Some were
concerned with the way the
center might disrupt the beauty
of the location in mind. Another
member felt that the off campus
visitors might not really benefit
from it.
The motion to approve such a
center was withdrawn so that the
open space committee could
study alternative locations.
If construction of the center is
approved in the future, con
tributions of materials to build it
will be sought from the Eugene
community and the labor to build

Students may receive influenza immunizations from 8 to 9:30
a.m. Monday through Friday, every week. Charge is Jl.
it will be sought from volunteer
student and faculty members.
George Wallmann, University
architect, and Robert Fagot,
Head of the Psychology
Department, also discussed the
possibility of remodeling Straub
Hall, a currently vacant dor
mitory, into a consolidated
Psychology Department, ex
cluding the animal laboratories.
At the present time, the facilities
for this particular department
are spread out to 18 different
places on campus.
Before the Planning Com
mittee can reach any definite
decisions, it must await the
approval by the State Board of
Higher Education of converting a
dormitory building into one
which would be used for
academic purposes. This
question will be put before the
State Board for a decision when it
meets on Monday.
If the Board does approve such
a move, the purpose for which
Straub Hall will be used is still
not final. However, Larry Bisset,
University Planner, expressed
the feeling that the Planning
Committee would probably
recommend utilization of the
building by the Psychology Dept.
“The department’s program
does fit into the space available,”
said Bisset, and then added,
“That the University can utilize
the space better at this time for
academic purposes than for
housing is apparent by the very
fact that the building is vacant at
this time.”
The Psychology Department is
presently located in the old
marriage housing units by Agate
and Columbia Sts. Fagot pointed
out the inadequacy of these units
as research laboratories.
Other business at the meeting
included the approval of a project
proposed by University track

Delaney, Bonnie and Friends
music has been described by

vocals’’ with a “Memphis
flavored background.”

Clapton, Ringo Starr and George
Harrison, Mick Jagger and the

ASUO Senate encourages University
to include GPA proposal in program
The ASUO Senate voted
Thursday night to encourage the
University to adopt a recom
mendation by Gay People’s
Alliance (GPA) Chairman James
Hood to add “sexual orientation’’
to the University’s new anti
discrimination program.
Past GPA chairman John
Damon said the Alliance wanted
the endorsement because the Gay
People’s original statements
“had not been looked at closely
enough by the (University) ad
ministration.’’ ASUO Chief
Administrative Assistant
DeNorval Tate added the
“People shouldn’t discriminate
on the basis of private lives.” The
roll call vote was 25 in favor, one
against, with one abstention.
The action concerned the
University’s “Equal Em
ployment Opportunity Policy and
Affirmative Action Compliance
Program,” sent last Friday to the
regional HEW office in Seattle.
The Senate also recommended
a variance in the Student Conduct
Code to allow SEARCH to con
duct a wine-tasting class, titled
Consumer Evaluation of Wine,
next term. The class will be
conducted by the owner of
Porter’s Foods, who taught a
similar class at Lane Community
College last year. The Conduct
Code currently prohibits any
open container of an alcoholic
beverage either on campus or in
any University related class
situation. This recommendation
will now go to the Faculty Senate
for approval.
Most Senate and ASUO com
mittee appointments were also
approved, however controversy
arose when it was discovered that
certain persons occupied
positions on more than one
committee. It was felt that
persons on more than one
committee “could not do a good
job” for those committees,
therefore only those people
holding 'a single committe
position were approved. Those
few holding more than one
position were returned to the
Governing Committee for
review.
Other Senate approvals in
cluded:
Two temporary IUSOSSHE
representatives, Ron Chandler
and George D’Angelantonio, to
attend the Oregon State
IUSOSSHE Conference to be held
Sunday in Klamath Falls. The
positions will last three weeks;
Re-arrangement of ESCAPE
and Survival Center salary
budgets;
$30 for new records for Friday
night recreational folk dancing;
$235 for MITS OFF, an
organization working under the
auspices of the Survival Center
against the mining by U.S.
Pumice in the Rock Mesa area.
The Survival Center was not
sufficiently budgeted to cover
MITS OFF; however, MITS OFF
will try to repay the money by
showing Sierra Club en
