Board to consider
law fees, renovation
The Oregon State Board of
Higher Education will deal with a
proposed restructuring of the
University Law School fee
schedule and a plan to renovate
the Amazon Housing Complex
when it convenes in Portland
today.
Also included in the Board’s
crowded agenda is a report on
faculty tenure in the state
system and proposed ad
ministrative rules regulating the
tenure process.

The Board will meet at 9 a.m.
Room 338, Smith Memorial
Center, on the Portland State
University campus. The meeting
is open to the public.
The Law School fee
reorganization, as submitted by
Law School Dean Eugene Scoles,
would create four new law fees
while providing for total or
partial waiver or deferral of the
fees in cases of extreme hardship
or merit.
Revenue produced by the new
fees would be for the exclusive
use of the Law School. Currently,
the average expenditure per law
student is less than the average
expenditure per graduate student
at the University.
Under the Scoles plan, the cost
of tuition and fees for a first year
law student would rise from the
current rate of $764.50 per year to
$1287.50 per year. Second and
third year law students would
experience a tuition and fee hike
from $754.50 to $1,057.50.
It is unlikely, however, that the
Board will deal with the Scoles
proposal in its original form. At a
meeting on May 3, the board’s
finance committee voted to have
committee chairer John Mosser
prepare a modified version of the
plan to submit to today’s full
board session.
The Board’s decision on the
proposal to provide new foun
dations for 30 buildings, each
containing four apartments, in
the Amazon Housing Complex
may develop into a major policy
battle.
The Board’s building com
mittee has recommended ap
proval of the project, estimated
to cost $170,000, with the un
derstanding that the needed
funds would come from repair
reserves and excess sinking fund
balances from married student
housing operations at the
University.
Alternative methods of
providing low-rent student
housing advocated by opponents
of the Amazon renovation include
direct rent subsidies and en
couragement of private
developments through sub
sidization.
Student makes
big burger bet
A University freshman, Bill
Grashorn, has taken on a
stomach-bulging bet: to
consume 15 “Big Mac’’
hamburgers in a single half
hour.
Grashorn, whose creden
tials include drinking 10
quarts of water at a single
sitting, and eating 3 Farrell’s
“trough”at another sitting,
will attempt the feat at 8 p.m.
tonight at the campus Mc
Donalds. In order to win the
bet, he must retain the
burgers inside for at least five
minutes, however.

Sculptor wins Art Annual commission
Dana Boussard of Missoula, Mont., has been awarded the $1,500
Sculpture Commission in the 1973 Pacific Northwest Art Annual held
by the EMU.
The 1973 Pacific Northwest Art Annual was for the purpose of
selecting a sculptor to commission for a work specifically designed for
the new addition to the EMU. Sculptors from throughout the Pacific
Northwest were invited to submit slides or photographs of their work,
to be judged by a student-faculty selection committee. Boussard’s
award was selected by this committee.
Brahms concert to be presented
Three famous chamber works by the composer, Johannes
Brahms, will be presented at 8 p.m., Thursday in Gerlinger Hall.

1 will be Marten King and Robert Huffman. The Cello-Piano Sonata in
F Major, opus 99, will be given by Joyce Knoll and Robert Huffman.
Together the three will conclude with the Trio in A Minor, opus 114.
Heating Plant shutdown planned
The steam and chilled water which is piped to the campus from
the Heating Plant will be shut down in order to make some required
pumping changes in the plant.

a.m. and continuing until about 12 noon.
If you find that this shutdown, as scheduled, will cause undue
hardship on your operation, please contact the Physical Plant at x5243.
Perhaps some adjustments can be arranged or in an extreme
situation, the shutdown may be re scheduled.
Grad student wins national award
Elaine Cull, 25, a graduate student in the School of Journalism at
the University, has won the award for the best one-minute TV spot in a

Revised bike path survey to be mailed
The Eugene Bicycle Committee in conjunction with the Oregon
State Highway Division is presenting a revised survey to follow up a
similar survey done last month. The same 10,000 residents of Eugene
Springfield will receive questionnaires. The Highway Division had
only a 30 per cent response on the last questionnaires and would like
more cooperation this t)i*me.
The survey asks people who don’t have bikes if they would ride if
there were safe bike paths. Surveys will be sent out early this week.

Area drugs may pose extreme danger
White Bird’s Crisis Unit has reported six adverse reactions to
drugs in the group called “major tranquilizers’’ in the past month. The
classification name is deceptive because they do not get you off, high,
or down, as the minor tranquilizers might. These are powerful drugs
used to relieve symptoms of psychosis and other psychological
disturbances. They can be very dangerous. Bad reactions to them
have included intense muscle contractions of the jaw, neck, face, back
and chest and also high anxiety.
These drugs are being pushed on the street as tranquilizers
(Valium, Librium) or downers. They can all be identified through
manufacturers’ names and numbers. If you buy a drug that has names
and numbers on it, call White Bird at 342-8255, 24 hours a day, and they
can tell you what it is and some possible reactions.
