Dellenback says ‘no’ By DAVE WOODSON Of the Emerald “No.” That is what Congressman John Dellenback (R-Fourth District) said his vote would be if a bill to cut off funds for the Vietnam war was voted on at the present time. Dellenback is hopeful that the negotiations presently underway in Paris will result in a cease-fire agreement and cited these talks as the reason for his present . position on the war funding issue. He refused to discuss with newsmen at his Friday morning press conference in Eugene City Hall what his position would be in the future should the negotations fail and massive bombing of civilian population centers be resumed. However, the congressman was critical of the recent heavy bombing of North Vietnam. He said the move “came as a sur prise” and that he was “deeply disappointed.” “The bombing of civilians in the North appalls me,” Dellen back said. Having just completed a week long fact-finding survey of his district, Dellenback said that public opinion on the war was still “polarized and very far apart.” At the beginning of the press conference, the congressman issued a short statement on the relaxation of wage and price controls in the recently an nounced Phase III of the Nixon economic game plan. “I’m delighted,’’ he said. “It is a significant move in the right direction.” Dellenback indicated that he felt the “loosening up of controls” was “a clear indication of the direction the administration was moving.” sTH/flTS 1 * 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 out by individuals needing drug-related information),' numerous medical ar tides, drug pamphlets, research data and other information organized into categories concerning the different drugs, and bibliographies prepared by the Center of 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 Information Center has initiated a Drug Analysis Project that took effect on July 27, 1972. It is a free, 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. 1 in the basement of the Erb Memorial Student Union on the University of Oregon Campus.
