MOUNTAIN '* SYSTEMS Pipeline. (Continued from Page 1) letter to the Senate Interior Committee, Secretary of the Interior Rogers Morton admitted this to be the biggest problem with the Alaskan route. However, the Canadian route does cross more rivers. Another reason Dotten favors the Canadian over the Alaskan route is that the most severe oil shortage is in the midwest. A recent letter from Rags’ Mellem, Northwest Representative of the Sierra Club states that “The markets at Puget Sound, San Francisco and Los Angeles are not large enough to absorb the daily output of the Alaska pipeline — and it is obvious that Japan, in fact will be getting a vast quantity of that oil, since it is cheaper to ship oil to Japan than across country to the Midwest.” "Hie most important reason environmental groups oppose the Alaska route, according to Dotten, is because it involves the use of a seaway from Valdez to Pacific parts, and the likelihood of an oil spill is high. The Canadian government, for both economic reasons and a fear of oil spills off British Columbia, has come out in favor of the alternative Canadian route. Dotten concluded by saying “One reason I so strongly oppose the Jackson bill is because it will never make Congress squarely face the pipeline issue, and it will never make them face directly the issue of the so-called energy crisis’ and the determination of national energy priorities.” Toelken, wife named Danforth Associates A University faculty man and his wife have ^een named Danforth Associates.

Vacation College Instead of ‘road race’ This summer the University of Oregon again is offering an alternative to the traditionally high priced two week road race most people call a vacation . . . Vacation College 1 ON f/l&i. CAMPUS PANT and TOP SPECIAL TOPS PANTS 5.90 9.90 Very specialty priced and just in time for summer fun.

White, yellow, camel or navy cuffed pants in polyester-rayon gabardine. Sizes 5 to 13. Also available at downtown mail store and valley river Modeled after Danish schools, the University’s Vacation College offers adults a chance at a unique educational experience from August 12-19. Taught in a relaxed setting, classes will hear out standing university professors speak on either “Freedom and Authority” or “Science and Humanism” and then be able to question the speakers. When Vacation College started 10 years ago with just 18 students, it was the only school of its type in the nation. Part of the College’s success is due to the close association between students and teachers during the lectures and in informal discussion groups. During a student’s free time in the afternoons it will be possible to enjoy recreational activities such as swimming, bowling, golf, temws or badminton. For those who wish to spend a leisurely afternoon touring, the Vacation College has made arrangements to tour a television station, the Pioneer Museum, a lumber mill, see a computer demonstration, and visit the University Museum of Art. Evening activities include musical concerts, movies, slide lectures, a play at the Carnival Theatre, or a night tour of Eugene. Those wishing more in formation can contact Grace Graham, Director, Vacation College, University of Oregon, Eugene. One English lady who came to the U.S. in 1963 told Dr. Graham, after attending Vacation College, that it was “the most satisfying experience since I came to America.” i i
