I Council oks airport boarding fee The Eugene City Council unanimously adopted the Airport Commission’s Master Plan and Layout Plan and also approved an ordinance requiring that a $2 boarding fee be charged at Mahlon Sweet Airport at its Monday night meeting. The Master Plan allows for the expansion of the existing facilities at the airport and the acquisition of adjacent properties totalling 62 acres, according to Robert Shelby, Airport Manager. Part of the expansion, said Shelby, is the building of an additional runway. Along with the Master plan, three amend ments were approved which the Commission had previously recommended for adoption. They are that 80 acres adjacent to the north east section of the airport be rezoned for agricultural development, that livestock and grain stock uses be limited within the high noise and pollution contours of the airport, and that the rerouting of Greenhill Road be accepted. Citizen opposition to the plan was also voiced at the meeting. Roy Freeman of Eugene, said that Eugene will never be regarded as a center for air traffic and he questioned the need for an additional runway. “Why should we take our tax money and build a runway that we don’t need?” Councilman Tom Williams said the City Council should take the steps today to meet the airport’s needs of the future. In other council action, an ordinance requesting that an enplaning fee be charged at the Mahlan Sweet received unanimous ap proval. The $2 fee, which would take effect Feb. 15 will meet the funding needs resulting from the federally required increased resisting arrest. All of these ordinances for other needs at the airport as well, said Shelby. The council also unanimously passed three behavioral conduct ordinances regarding disorderly conduct, public indecency, and resisting arrest. All of these ordinances required amending certain sections of the City Code. In further action the council voted to have two easements vacated and held a similar third council bill over pending further study. The next meeting of the City Council is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Monday in the Council Chambers 777 Pearl.

Nobody should be forced a precluded from having one.” He noted that recent opinion palls have shown 70 pa cent of the American papulation favor a fully libaalized abortion law. “The import of the law is that it doesn’t discriminate against people by where they live a how much money they have,” he said. Chula da said he was surprised that such a liberal interpretation was made by the Court in which three Nixon appointees voted in favor of the ruling. Chris Attneave, chairer of the Eugene papulation stabilization council, said, “Most of what we’ve wanted to accomplish has been done by courts.” ’She noted that the removal of stipulations that only hospitals perform abortions will have a great financial implications for women desiring them. “This could bring the cost down to 50-100 dollars for out-patient service," she said. Curently, abortions cost around $400 in a hospital. Reaction on campus were also mixed. Clay Moreland, of the Christian Liberation House, thought it was wrong. “I don’t go along with it. I don’t think its right, and I don’t think God thinks it’s right. It’s definitely an immoral act.” Pam Mason, a junior in English, thought the ruling gave women a greater freedom of choice. “It’s not as good a solution as contraception, but it’s better than having to go through a pregnancy you don’t want.” Bruce Holway, senior, history, agreed. “In spite of the Court’s ruling, the question is still a moral one and ultimately is the decison of the individual,” he said. Thinking for a moment he added, “At Wutf now the decision rests with the individual and not with the state.” oass AfeBB® avasaT / fS)A f\ncp /Tj /» n RQLEE.MALE.
