impact of a plastic bomb...Pontecorvo's studies

Will play key role for University
Ways and Means Committee
holds first meeting of session
By NAN HENDERSON
Of the Emerald
SALEM (Special) —Fourteen
legislators who will play the
major role in deciding how much
money will be allocated to the
University for the next two years
met for the first time here
Tuesday morning.
Members of the powerful Joint
Ways and Means Committee
which handles all budgetary bills
in the State Legislature, will
decide the fate of services in the
University library, a proposed
annex to the University music
building, and the amount of
money each University depart
ment will have to work with.
They will also decide all other
aspects of the University budget,
with the decision subject to ap
proval of the House and Senate.
The committee met only briefly
Tuesday to announce the
members of six subcommittees
Chairer of the education
subcommittee is Sen. Lynn
Newbry (R-Talent), 49, a six
term veteran legislator.
Other members of the sub
committee are Sen. Jack Ripper
(R-North Bend), 52, a
businessman and American
history teacher; Rep. Harvey
Akeson (D-Portland), 35, a real
estate broker; and Rep. Mary
Roberts (D-Portland), 29, social
worb-or.
The ways and means
education-subcommittee will
review the higher education
budget and make recom
mendations to the full committee.
Higher education budgets are
submitted in the form of a bill by
the Governor, who reviews the
budgetary recommendations of
the State Board of Higher
Education, and makes revisions.
Roy Lieuallen, chancellor of
the state system of higher
education, said for the first time
the Governor requested the state
board to submit budgetary
requests in a form that would
allow the budget for each in
stitution to be considered
separately.
In the past, the budget for the
entire State System of Higher
Education has been considered
as a whole.
Lieuallen said some problems
could develop in the new method
of consideration, but added, “It
will also allow legislators to see
the proposals in more detail.’’
Gov. Tom McCall revised the
budget for the University so that
the University library will not be
able “to increase the level of
services it offers” and the
proposed addition to the
University music building will
not be built, if the ways and
means committee accepts his
recommendations.
Lieuallen expressed more
concern about the University
music building than the
University library services.
“The budget the Governor has
recommended would not increase
the level of services in the
library, but they would remain
the same,” Lieuallen said.
The University’s music
program, however, cannot
continue at its present level
without more facilities, Lieuallen
explained.
He said the budding annex
would become a reality if the
ways and means committee
changes the priorities of the
Governor
For example, McCall’s
recommendations call for a new
Salem office building to house
officials of the State System of
Higher Education.
“We didn’t even ask for it,”
Lieuallen said. The money
proposed for the state system
building is “about the same
amount” needed for the
University music annex, and the
ways and means committee
could decide to appropriate the
money for the music annex,
rather than a state system
building, he said.
This is one example of a
decision that student lobbyists
could influence, Lieuallen said.
DRUG INFORMATION CENTER
The Drug Information Center, initiated in the
spring of 1972, provides answers to any and all
questions concerning drugs and drug usage. This
includes, but is not restricted to the physiological,
psychological and sociological aspects of drug usage
whether it be prescription, over-the-counter, or
illegal street drugs. In its two terms of existence,
this agency assisted individuals and groups from the
University and the general community with over
1200 major research projects and calls requesting
information about drugs and related topics. The
Center is affiliated with Eugene's White Bird Socio
Medical Clinic and has two University professors
working with it as drug consultants.
The DIC's library houses over 200 books (most of
which can be checked ouf by individuals needing
drug-related information), numerous medical ar
tides, drug pamphlets, research data and other
intormation organized into categories concerning the
different drugs, and bibliographies prepared by the
Center ot all books in the Main and Science Libraries
at the University and in Eugene bookstores which
pertain to drugs. In addition, the DIC has access to
all books in Sacred Heart General Hospital's Medial
and Doctor's Library, and is tied into the MEDLARS
computer system, a world wide data bank that
collects all medical research information.
The Drug Intormation Center has initiated a Drug
Analysis Project that took effect on July 27, 1972. It
is a tree, anonymous service to the people of Lane
County whereby an individual may have an illegal
street drug analyzed and obtain the results of this
testing either through the Drug Information Center
or local news media channels.
. The Drug Information Center has a staff of 30, and is open from 9
to 9 Monday through Friday, and 12 to 6 p.m. Saturday. A good
number of books and files may be checked out by individuals, either
from the University or community and we are located in Rm. l in
the basement of the Erb Memorial Student Union on the University
of Oregon Campus. Our phone is:
