EWEB wants vote to change fund use By JEANIE WAKELAND Of the Emerald EWEB members heard a proposed city charter amendment Monday afternoon designed to get around last year’s court decision restricting their authority to use EWEB funds. The amendment, which would require a city-wide vote, was only discussed at the Monday night meeting. No action was taken on the EWEB vote proposal. Written by EWEB General Counsel Windsor Calkins and EWEB staff members, the proposed amendment places complete control of the utility in EWEB hands “including disbursement of funds and (EWEB) is directed in its discretion to operate the system as a practical successful enterprise.” An Oregon Court of Appeals ordered EWEB members last November to repay the utility $14,000 they used to advertise against a five-year moratorium on nuclear power plants on the city ballot. The decision was later upheld by the Oregon Supreme Court. Board President John Tiffany emphasized that the amendment “was not up for action — just discussion,” and promised to place it on the agenda of the Board next meeting, July 8. Calkins explained the need for the amendment by saying, “It gives the Board powers I thought we had before the court decision.” He said that he believed the court decision restricted the Board from even advocating conservation of energy. Calkins was joined in support of the amendment by the newest EWEB member, Calvin Schmidt. “The decision-making process deserves a better atmosphere and this would help it,” he commented. In other business, EWEB members discussed with staff member Herb Hunt possible energy cut-back plans. Hunt estimated that if Eugene does have a power shortage this winter, the most it will have to cut back is five to six percent of its energy. He believes this can be (Continued on Page 7) APPAREL FOR MEN AND WOMEN 1 233 ALDER (on the Campus) EUGENE PUBLIC NOTICE: BLOK III CLOTHING has QUIT BUSINESS in Eugene, and vacated the premises.

CLOTHING ”3LZ”S' Security site to be moved The campus Planning Com mission made an advisory recommendation to University President Robert Clark Tuesday, recommending a site on 13th and Agate for a proposed Campus Security Building. Several locations were con sidered by the Commission on the basis of proximity to campus, visibility to visitors, easy access and circulation of autos, and availability of short term parking. Discussion narrowed the choices to two sites, the recommended 13th and Agate location and the Hayward Ticket Booth spot. A few members of the commission expressed concern over the 13th Avenue site, as opposed to the Hayward field site, on the basis of cost. The Hayward field site was viewed as possibly allowing a less ex pensive structure. Only the front of the building would be visible when placed under the stands. Upon further discussion it was decided that cost differences would be minor when weighed against the advantages of the 13th Avenue site. The Com mission made the recom mendation with a note that they would be willing to reconsider should new and compelling evidence against their proposed site come to their attention. The next step in the process will be a meeting of the Architect Selection Committee. The new Campus Security Building has been in the planning stages for the last two years. The proposed building will be approximately 2000 square feet, occupying a small section of the available lot on 13th Avenue. Defender. . . (Continued from Page 3) Near the end of the meeting, apparently referring to what Mr. Little had said during its course, the Springfield Police Chief questioned under whose jurisdiction the recommended investigative services available to indigents would be placed in order to avoid conflict of in terests; he spoke of the possibility of the misuse or frivolous use of unlimited funds for indigent representation and concluded by saying he was “further saddened by the ap parent willingness of some...who are disillusioned with the system to exchange what justice we have under the constitution with bribery.” The committee will meet again publicly at 7:30 next Monday night to attempt to arrive at specific recom mendations to be presented to the county commissioners.
