Before ASUO executive
Budget hearings continue
Art Barfield of the Black
Graduate Student Council
(BGSC), told the ASUO executive
Monday night that he is trying to
eliminate the one-man
organization of his program.
Executive budget hearings for
the University Theatre. Student
Employes Defense Council,
Student Administrative Board
(SAB), Cosmopolitan Student
Association and the Grower’s
Market also were held.
The BGSC budget total was
$2,100, which includes salaries,
administrative expenses (phone,
postage, and office supplies) and
program expenses.
Program expenses will cover
the C06t of printing a newsletter,
running an educational workshop
and developing consultation
programs for both graduates and
undergraduates in regard to
professional opportunities,
Barfield said.
Barfield mentioned that one of
the program’s objectives is to
encourage Black undergraduates
to pursue further education.
The constituency of the BGSC
is about 1.5 per cent of the total
graduate student body.
Faber DeChaine, director of
the University Theatre,
requested that a funding formula
be determined in order to
facilitate a reduction in student
ticket prices.
He emphasized that a direct
subsidy would not be appropriate
because the theatre serves the
general community as well as the
students.
Richard Donah oe of the
Student Employes Defense
Council said that the University
pays an average of 30 to 40 cents
less than outside community
employers.
He requested a $1,305 budget to
facilitate the organization of
bargaining units for student
employes. Donah oe said that of
the 2,000 students employed by
the University, about 10 per cent
are represented by Local 1893 of
the AFL-CIO.
Mary Don, director of the
Student Administrative Board
(SAB), presented a $3,016 budget
request.
Two additions to the budget
were made this year. One is a
request for $800 to produce a
directory of on-campus
organizations. This would cover
the printing costs for 1,000 copies
of the booklet, Don said.
The second addition is a $480
request to provide a 12-month
salary for a co-director. Don said
a co-director is needed to obtain
more input at the leadership level
of the program.
Isaiah Obot, director of the
Cosmopolitan Student
Association, requested a $1,260
budget, a $125 increase over last
year’s budget. Obot said an
additional $100 is needed for the
International Dinner because this
year more persons from the
outside community attended than
were anticipated.
When questioned about the
possibilities of a merger be
tween his program and the
Foreign Student Organization
(FSO) or the Cultural Centers,
Obot said he sees more need “for
the other programs to work more
closely with Cosmopolitan.”
He stated that merging with
FSO might rule out the American
students presently working with
Cosmopolitan.
Sharon Mainzer of the
Grower’s Market explained to the
executive that the purpose of her
organization is to ‘‘pool the
buying power of a lot of people
and to get food at a wholesale
price.” Mainzer said that ap
proximately 400 families place
orders with the market and
“about one-third of the
households are students.”
She said the organization
needs money for supplies to be
used in rennovating the
warehouse they purchased in
October. The labor will be done
by people who work with the
market, Mainzer added
At budget hearings last Friday
the ASUO executives heard
requests from the Women’s
Transitional Living Center
(WTLC), Music, ASUO Housing
Office, Willamette Housing Of
fice and the Migrant Labor
Project.
Revised tenant-landlord
bill passed to Senate floor
By NAN HENDERSON
Of the Emerald
SALEM (Special)—The Senate Local Govern
ment and Urban Affairs committee voted Thursday
to send SB 159, the comprehensive overhaul of
existing landlord-tenant laws, to the Senate floor
with a “do pa sc" recommendation.
The move followed weeks of conflicting
testimony from landlords and tenants and revising
the bill during numerous work-sessions on the
measure.
Though several changes were made in the bill,
Charles Williamson, a Portland attorney
representing several tenant organizations, said
Thursday that the measure is “still a good bill.” He
indicated, however, that tenant groups may fight to
reinstate several of the sections removed from the
bill by the Senate committee during consideration
by the House.
Landlords appeared more satisfied with the
amended bill than with the original measure,
though they, too, indicated they might press for
further revision in the House.
The mended bill changes current laws which
allow landlords:
—to keep cleaning deposits without an ac
counting of why the deposits are not returned to
tenants. The bill states that landlords must return
deposits at the termination of tenancy or else
provide tenants with a detailed accounting of
deductions against the deposit.
—to arbitrarily evict tenants. The bill prohibits
landlords from evicting a tenant solely as a
retaliation against the tenant joining a tenants
union, reporting landlord negligence or otherwise
exercising his or her rights.
—to lock tenants out of their rented hones and
to eventually sell almost all of the tenant’s property
for nonpayment of rent. Hus action, currently
usually only threatened by landlords is called “the
landlords lien” and is abolished under SB 159.
The bill also states that landlords must provide
“habitable” dwellings which includes providing
adequate heat, water, electricity, sewage disposal,
plumbing facilities and “effective waterproofing.”
The committee, however, deleted sections of
the bill that would have:
—allowed the tenant to make minor repairs and
deduct the cost from rent.
—granted attorney’s fees only to tenants in
court cases against landlords. The amended bill
provides that either party in a court case “may be
awarded attorney’s fees.”
—required landlords to maintain rental units
according to existing rental codes. The landlords
argued that one law should not be passed for the
purpose of enforcing other laws.
SB 159 was originally introduced as a “uniform
law”, drafted by the National Commissioners on
Uniform State Laws, a group which spent two years
listening to testimony on the national level and
drafting the bill.
The organization, which has drafted similar
legislation enacting uniform business codes, argued
that the landlord-tenant relationship should be
consistent in every state.
The senate committee, however, decided that
landlord-tenant laws should vary according to
different conditions in each state. The a doped
amendments changed the bill from the original
“uniform” proposal

Leo
(Continued from Page I)
“We have grave reservations
about a faculty-student senate,”
Leo says. What would be better,
he feels, is an alliance of
departmental student unions
which would have the advantage
of providing broader represen
tation and quicker response in
times of student need.
Leo and Barnett support a
strong athletics program at the
University and feel that the
thrust of such support should be
primarily invested in a beef-up of
women’s activities.
One proposal advanced by the
candidates would go a long way
towards alleviating the parking
situation on campus. Their plan
would involve running a shuttle
bus (paid for by ASUO) from
Autzen Stadium parking lot to
campus. “We think the parking
problem on campus is suf
ficiently bad to have ASUO work
on the problem,” Leo says.
Another concern is the present
condition of the millrace. What is
needed for this particular issue,
they feel, is effective, coor
dinated leadership to organize
the sputtering clean-up cam
paign. “If elected,” Leo and
Barnett said, “we would
propose that ASUO take this
leadership and coordinate the
effort.”
