The report, entitled “Oregon Ski Areas: Safe or Unsafe?” calls for immediate closure of Hoodoo and other ski areas which lack safety measures to protect skiers. OSPIRG spokesman Ted Scheinman said that Hoodoo was the only area where safety measures were lacking, though OSPIRG suspected these measures were absent in other ski areas as well. The major hazard found at Hoodoo was the lack of safety gates on ski lifts. A safety gate is a restraint which stops ski lifts when a skier accidently misses the unloading ramp of a lift.

Ph 342-2912 2045 FRANKLIN BLVD.I Eugen^0regor^)740y These gates are required by the Forest Service and the report calls upon them to enforce the regulations at Hoodoo. OSPIRG inspectors also found loading and unloading ramps to be dangerous in six areas. Among the dangers noted were steep inclines and obstructions on the loading and unloading ramps. OSPIRG inspectors also ob served unmarked obstructions on the slopes of many ski areas, including rock and tree stumps. The report noted that four ski areas failed to keep sleds, toboggans, and dogs off of the ski slopes. The report commended all the ski areas for having some safety measures, including adequate communications, a sufficient number of lift attendants, and rescue equipment. The buildings at all the ski areas were found to be in good condition. The report recommended that the ski area inspections be centralized under the control of one Regional Forest Service official and recommended giving the official authority to close down unsafe ski lifts. Council to discuss amendment The feasibility of instigating a lawsuit on the meaning of the freeway charter amendment passed by Eugene voters in November will be discussed at today’s meeting of the Council-of the-whole.

Assistant City Manager Keith Martin will discuss with city council members the desirability of instigating a lawsuit, with the cooperation of the proponents of the measure, to determine the meaning of the charter language. Another matter before the council will be a city ordinance proposal dealing with bicycles which has been recommended by the city’s bicycle committee. The ordinance requires that a person riding a bicycle later than one-half hour after sunset or earlier than one-half hour before sunrise must equip the bicycle with a white light visible 500 feet in front and a red light or reflector visible 300 feet to the rear. Program offices switched Various ASUO programs have been relocated on the third floor of the EMU and offices have been provided for the new Incidental Fees Committee and the ASUO Co-Governance Committee. The SEARCH program is now located in 310 EMU, formerly the ASUO Senate office. The Incidental Fees Committee will occupy the old SEARCH office, room 305. The office of the senate president, 311 EMU, now houses four agencies, the new ASUO Co-Governance Committee, the ASUO Constitution Committee, the Elections Committee and the Elections Board. The class officers have moved from the Administrative Assistants’ office in 312 EMU, which they share with the Student Administrative Board, the Oregon Prisoner’s Coalition and the Libraries Association. These changes were made when the abolishment of the ASUO Senate left two offices vacant, according to Fred Loveys, ASUO vice president. *CLIP AND SAVE Sunday Films by Cultural Forum FEATURES APRIL 1 THE SUMMER OF '42 A nostalgic excursion for some and an open door to a generation ago for others.
