Hearing set on new ordinances
The Eugene City Council has set next

Carson said that on Dec. 10, 1948, the United
Nations adopted a Universal Declaration of
Human Rights. The declaration, which in
cluded rights found in the U.S. Bill of Rights,
also noted the right to work and the right to
education, she said.
The council declined to issue any
proclamation or statement, but several
observance for the day next year. More time
would be available to plan for the day, tney
said.
Concerning the proposed ordinances that
will come before a public hearing next
Monday night, the council heard Dale Allen,
Eugene Police Chief, as to why the new or
dinances were needed.
Long said that there are similar ordinances
for the Eugene Mall, and that such ordinances
should be applicable city-wide.
Allen said, “We’ve had a void in some of our
ordinances” which has caused enforcement
problems in the areas of disorderly conduct,
public indecency, indecent touching and
relat’ons of citizens to police.
Following are summaries of the proposed
ordinances:
—Disorderly conduct. Prohibited is to
“engage in fighting or in violent, tumultuous
and threatening physical behavior which
creates an unreasonable risk of harm to
person or property, or serious public in
convenience or alarm.”
Also prohibited is to utter obscene or
violence-provoking language, to congregate
so as to obstruct a public passage or create a
fire hazard, to interfere with, or obstruct, a
police officer in “the officer’s lawful per
formance of his duties,” and to spit, urinate
or defecate in public.
—Indecent touching. Prohibited is to
“willfully participate in repetitive or con
tinuous touching, fondling, manipulating, or
rubbing of the genitals, breasts, or buttocks,
whether exposed or unexposed, of a human
body, for the purpose of arousing or
gratifying any person’s sexual desires, and
knowing that such act is likely to be observed
by another person.”
—Public indecency. Prohibited is to per
form in public an act of masturbation, sexual
intercourse, deviate sexual intercourse, an
act simulating sexual intercourse or deviate
sexual intercourse, or “an act exposing his or
another’s genital organs . . . knowing that
such act is likely to be observed by another
person.”
—Resisting arrest. Prohibited is using or
threatening the use of “violence, physical
force or any other means that creates a
substantial risk of physical injury to any
person.”
—Refusing to assist a peace officer.
Prohibited is to “unreasonably refuse or fail
to assist in effecting an authorized arrest or
prevent another from committing an of
fense.”
—Hindering prosecution. Prohibited is
harboring or concealing a person who has
committed an offense, warning such person of
impending discovery or apprehension,
providing or aids in providing such person
with money, transportation, weapon, disguise
or other means of avoiding discovery or
apprehension, preventing or obstructing by
means of force, intimidation or deception,
anyone from performing an act which might
aid in the discovery or apprehension of such
person, suppressing by any act of con
cealment, alteration or destruction physical
evidence which might aid in the discovery or
apprehension of such person, or aiding such
person in securing or protecting the proceeds
of the offense.
Representatives urge
limiting grants
A recommendation that would limit the number of athletic
scholarships given each year and base those scholarships on a sliding
scale based on need was proposed by representatives from five
Pacific-8 conference schools last weekend.
The conference resulted from concern of students in the con
ference that college sports were becoming too professional and costing
the schools too much money.
Students from five schools unanimously recommended a proposal
consisting of five points. The proposal was also endorsed by two other
schools who did not send representatives.
Giff Zukin, who represented the ASUO, said he was pleased with
the results of the conference, especially the fact that all seven schools
agreed on the basic ideas of the proposal.
The first point of the proposal calls for an amendment of the
Pacific-8 by-laws so that the representative Council would have three
members from each school. The Council now includes one faculty
member and the Director of Athletics. The proposal would add
another representative, a student, from each school.
The second point is a recommendation that more money be
allocated for women’s athletic programs.
The third point concerns recommendations that the Pacific-8 will
make to the NCAA in January. The conference recommends that
national ceilings be set at current Pacific-8 levels, and that the
Pacific-8 try to reduce the number of grants-in-aid given each year.
This point also recommends that grants-in-aid be awarded on a
sliding scale based on the athlete’s ability to pay, starting with the
1974-75 academic year. They recommended that an exception limit be
set by the conference Council.
The last point of the proposal calls for continuation of the Padfic-8
efforts to control and decrease recruitment expenditures.
