Hope held
out for
historical
sites
By TODD MERRIMAN
Of the Emerald
As a result of action by the City Council Wednesday, Eugene s
remaining picturesque buildings and neighborhoods may yet survive
the onslaught of asphalt, concrete and pre-fabricated apartment
houses.
Meeting in a noon committee-of-the-whole session, the council ap
proved a proposal calling for the appointment of a special committee
to develop historical criteria for use in land use and planning
processes.
According to the proposal submitted by council members Bern
Campbell and Neil Murray, the special committee will consist of three
council members and three lay persons.
The proposal received strong support from representatives of
local historical and architectural organizations at the Wednesday
meeting.
Hallie Huntington, president of the Lane County Historical
Society, said the council was “starting a little late.”
But Huntington urged the council to “do everything in your
power” to “save the sites still subject to preservation.”
Philip Dole, professor of architecture, urged the council to con
sider preserving entire districts, not just individual buildings. Eugene
architects D. N. Unthank and Otto Poticha expressed similar views.
Poticha suggested the creation of a special land use zone as one
means of preserving entire districts.
The special six-member committee will have at least four specific
duties:
—to evaluate historical preservation programs used by other
—to define the term “historical” for use in land use and planning
processes
—to determine means of implementing a preservation program
once criteria are extablished
—to seek state and federal aid
The council will take formal action on the historical preservation
plan at its next regularly scheduled meeting on July 9.
People’s Co-op draws criticism
for members’ lack of support
By DONNA GARDNER
Of the Emerald
“The (People’s) Co-op should
be a group of people who'
recognize a food need and co
operate with one another...people
shopping at the market don’t
contribute to the market as much
as they should...yet the market
isn’t co-operating and con
tributing to the community.”
These were some of the com
ments expressed by those present
at the Board of Directors meeting
of the Willamette People's Co
op, held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, at the
First Congregational Church.
The meeting was attended by
about 30 people. Only one board
member was present; not even
President George Stathakis
showed up.
Since the Co-op is a cor
poration, the by-laws state that
new board members must be
voted upon once a year, that
there must be more than six and
not more than 11, and that each
officer must register his name in
II you are not familiar with the layout of the Erb,
you might find it necessary to ask someone how to
find the EMU Print Shop on the mezzanine floor. Once
you find it, however, you will be surprised at the
number of things we can print. . . and you'll be happily
surprised at the economical prices we charge. For
anything in the printing line, just take the stairs
to the right of the elevator in the main lobby.

Salem in order to act as the legal
front for the corportation. The
board is a very “loose” sort of
organization and has no specified
functions or responsibilities.
The Co-op’s five managers
have been doing most of the work
and several suggestions were
brought up to alleviate the work
load of the managers and to give
the board some structure. Among
the suggestions were
—the managers, who are more
involved with the store, should
have control of the corporation
instead of the board;
—the board of directors, if they
choose to remain the figurehead
of the organization, should take a
more active role in the Co-op.
This increased interest could be
shown by attending a once-a
month meeting open to all Co-op
members and handling such
business as saving money for
another vehicle for the Co-op,
paying rent, acquiring equipment
for the store interior and roof
remodeling—activities which
have currently been handled by
the managers and which are
taking so much time that, as
stated by one manager, “there
are other things I’d like to do that
I just don’t have time to do.”
DA asks for
police status
District Attorney J. Pat Horton
proposed that the DA’s office be
designated as a law enforcement
support unit in a discussion
before the Lane County Board of
Commissioners meeting Wed
nesday.
Horton explained that his of
ficers all have advanced police
status with various other
agencies, but are not eligible to
receive special police insurance
and retirement benefits since the
DA’s office is not designated as a
law enforcement agency.
Sheriff Dave Burks suggested
that the DA’s officers be under
his office. They could be given
“'emporary assignments on a
semi-permanent basis” to the
DA’s office, Burks said.
Horton felt that the designation
of his office would legitimize
current operations and protect
the county from possible
—board members would also
need to exert five hours a month
at the Co-op, exclusive of the
once-a-month meeting.
There seemed to be, perhaps
not disgust, but certainly
frustration over the board’s lack
of interest.
Besides board members taking
a more active role it was
suggested that Co-op members be
“encouraged” to become more
involved by making it impossible
to buy at the store until they have
volunteered to work at least one
three-hour shift. The store, which
is run on an honor basis, has been
attempting to have this as a rule
of thumb, but this system hasn’t
worked too well, since a core of
eight people have been doing
most of the work.
Toward the end of the meeting,
four persons volunteered to
become a part of the board of
directors for 73-’74. A voice vote
was taken with no dissension.
Other business discussed at
Tuesday night’s meeting was
acquisition of a new cash register
and a possible newsletter to be
published monthly. Its purpose
would be to make the general
community aware of the Co-op’s
existence and its activities.
litigation. Burks brought up the
possibility that the move would
be legalizing another police
department.
The commissioners will be
discussing the issue further on
July 11.
Peace . . .

peace work does very little good.
He said there may be a point to
saying “peace people talk only to
themselves.” He said that during
the active ground was in Vietnam
there was a good constituency for
antiwar work, but that a lot of
unglamorous work was
overlooked. “A lot of groups
coasted along on ad hoc anti-war
activity,” he said, but that
churches, schools, service clubs
and professional organizations
were missed. Fitch believes on
going peace education will be
aimed at groups like these within
the community.
