University transport plan
aired in public meetings
By SHAHRYAR AHMAD
Of the Emerald
The University Long Range Transportation
Plan was opened to campus hearings Wednesday
and Thursday. The plan, if fully implemented,,
would radically alter traffic and parking systems in
and around the University by fall 1974.
Charles Wright, professor of mathematics and
chairman of the Campus Planning Committee, and
Harry Van Oudenallen, the University planner,
presented the plan to the public in two separate
hearings in the EMU.
They re-affirmed the four guiding principles of
the plan:
— Transportation and movement of people
shall, above all, further the central mission of the
University — educational, intellectual, spiritual and
physical development of its students.
— Transportation and movement of people shall
relate the campus to the wider community of which
it is a part.
— Transportation modes shall be employed
which provide inexpensive and convenient access to
campus facilities.
— And transportation facilities shall aid in
preserving or creating a high quality campus en
vironment.
Wright provided the audience with a
background report on the origins of the plan. He
said that the University Planning Committee
(UPC), which is comprised of both students and
faculty, started work on the plan last summer. He
said at that time the city of Eugene was thinking
along the lines of freeways “all around the campus
to better accommodate the growing campus and
city traffic.”
He said the current plan was devised after
consultations with city officials, the Lane Council of
Governments (L-COG), the Lane Transit District
(LTD) and the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC).
Wright said it was the consensus of those in
volved in formulating the plan that there were
alternatives to the city’s plans for freeways. Wright
himself felt that freeways would “cut off the
University from the community and would turn it
into an academic ghetto.”
A main point of the plan is the creation of a
“Local Transport Area” which essentially means
parking for private autos would be on big lots
around the periphery of the University and ac
cessibility from those lots to the campus itself would
be via a shuttle bus system.
To encourage a shuttle bus system, the plan
points out, there would be a decrease in the amount
of available parking areas on campus.
Van Oudenallen and Wright conceded that there
have to be great changes introduced in scheduling
of University business and also a “dramatic im
provement in the bus service” if the proposed plan
is to be effective at all.
They said the three-man committee formed to
draw up plans for the implementation of the Long
Range Transportation Plan will be open to public
suggestions. The committee members include a
representative from the University, the LTD and
the L-COG. The formalized plans for im
plementation should be ready by December, 1973.
Washington Post reveals campaign
undercover action begins in 1969
WASHINGTON (UPI) —
Undercover operations for
President Nixon’s benefit were
carried out beginning in 1969 by
the FBI, Secret Service and
special teams working for the
Justice Department and the
White House, it was reported
Thursday in the Washington
Post.
The Washington Post said the
campaign of “illegal and
quasilegal undercover
operations’’ was directed at
targets ranging from student
demonstrations to Democrat i c
candidates for president and vice
president.
Quoting “highly placed
sources,” reporters Carl Bern
stein and Bob Woodward
characterized the alleged un
dercover campaign as a series of
“political burglaries, buggings,
spyings and sabotage conducted
under White House auspices.”
Among those directing the
operations, the Post quoted its
sources as saying, were former
White House aides H.R.
Haldeman, John Ehrlichman and
John Dean III, former Attorney
General John Mitchell and for
mer Assistant Attorney General
Robert Mardian.
The newspaper quoted a for
mer high administration official
as saying:
“It was a campaign that went
astray and lost its sense of fair
play. Secrecy and obsession with
the covert became part of nearly
every action. It all turned to mud
and I'm sorry to have been a part
of it.” The Post listed these
alleged incidents:
— The Secret Service obtained
informat ion on the private life of
at least one Democratic
presidential candidate last year.
— Ehrlichman obtained
possession of records pertaining
to Sen. Thomas Eagleton’s
history of psychiatric care
several weeks before it was
disclosed in the news media and
McGovern dropped him as his
vice presidential running mate.
— The use of paid
“provocateurs” to encourage
violence at antiwar demon
strations early in the first Nixon
administration and again in the
1972 campaign.
— The formation of “suicide
squads” in the FBI to conduct
undercover political spying and
sabotage against “persons
regarded as opponents of the
Nixon administration.”
— The hiring of “vigilante
squads” by the White House and
Justice Department to conduct
illegal wiretapping, infiltrate
radical organizations for pur
poses of provocation, and engage
in political sabotage.
