Bike questionnaires mailed to aid state project planning The State Highway Division is seeking public assistance in the planning of bicycle paths and increasing bicycling safety. The Division will be direct mailing a questionnaire to residents in the Eugene Springfield area on a trial basis with distribution scheduled to begin on Jan. 22 and to continue for approximately two weeks. Two separate forms, one for the occupants of homes and apartments and the other for dormitories, are being sent. The questionnaire will seek factual as well as opinion in formation. Among the questions to be asked are why you ride a bike, how often for different types of trips, and what your major problem is in bike riding. Efforts will be made to r— determine if a registration and licensing is desired and, if yes, how much to charge. In fur therance of the registration and licensing fee, answers are sought as to how the money collected should be spent. The survey will also attempt to determine where riders want new paths to be built. No names will be used with forms to be forwarded to “Oc cupant” of 10,000 addresses. The addresses have been selected at random. A return-addressed, postage-paid envelope will ac company the survey material. Co-operation of those receiving the material is asked so that the comprehensive information on bikers’ needs can be obtained.

This semester sees some change in the Free University. For the first time instructors will be able to charge minimally for their ser vices. Many courses will remain without charge to participants who become members in the school for $3.50. A Lane County Free University Membership Card entitles one to take courses as well as receive discounts on admission to community concerts, films and other activities. This semester the catalogue will again feature a community resources section in addition to our class listings. The people who offer courses believe that they have found something that has made their lives more meaningful. They wish to augment that meaning by sharing their information or airill with others, or else to examine the position they have discovered by sub jecting their views to the criticism of others. The Free University is now encouraging people to offer courses in the arts, crafts household skills, philosophy, politics, communications, and other areas. * Course descriptions are due Feb. 1.
