On area roads Bike lanes to be added Bike paths will grace improved Eugene streets if a design recommended Thursday by the Mayor’s Bicycle Advisory Committee is approved. Ac cording to Tom Poage, a city engineer, the design would be used in improvement of Cal Young Rd., Echo Hollow Rd., and Norkenzie Rd. Funds for the improvement of these roads were approved in the November general election. The proposed design includes two 11-foot wide traffic lanes, separated by a 12-foot wide turn lane, Poage said. Next to each curb, he said, is a bike lane 4.5 feet wide. The design includes no provision for parking, Poage noted, but the roads to be im proved allow no parking now, and seafarer PANTS BILL sm s iUnta HUrar 881 EAST 13th f the sound of > fillmore west comes to Eugene fthe J . _ elvinl bishop 1 Two shows & lt p.m. I Friday, January 19 Lane County Fair Grounds 5 $3 advance $3.50 at door V Tickets at San Shop and Chrystakhip group with Providence 4 I £ Doable Tee Productions ^ — -An ii ri i^fii ~1 Al*i— - development nearby has provided for off-street parking. The design includes wide, concrete curbs which incorporate the bike paths. While the bike path is level with the roadway, Poage observed, it is dif ferentiated from the roadway by color. Another advantage Poage claimed for the design is the location of the tire-grabbing joint between the curb and the road way-out of the cyclist’s way. Poage also said that, while firm figures must await bidding, he believes that the proposed design will cost no more than standard designs. After the meeting, Ruth Bascom, committee chairer, said that bids will be received this Spring for construction of the West Amazon Bikeway, which will allow cyclists to ride from West 15th Ave. across the fairgrounds to Chambers St. Bascom said that the path will benefit students living in the Westmoreland project, and should be completed next sum mer.

ECC student positions open Applications are now being taken to fill the student position on the Educational Coordinating Council (ECC). The ECC is a state agency responsible for the administration of federal higher education funds, data collection for federal ac cumulation, planning the educational efforts of the state, and any other special studies which the legislature or some other body may wish done. The first student appointment was made to the Council a year ago. That appointment was made by the Inter-institutional Union of Students and the process has become formalized for each year. IUS delegations at each campus will screen the applicants and then the IUS state assembly will make the final nominations to the Governor. Members of the Council attend a meeting every other month, and put in about 20 hours work per week. The student should have some background in educational philosophy and be able to work with and debate administrators such as Chancellor Lieuallen and legislators such as Vic Atiyeh. Information and applications are available in 303 EMU in the IUS office.
