Of the Emerald
The University's two married student housing
projects will have openings for summer term
students beginning July 1. Housing Office personnel
reported that several present occupants of the
projects will be moving out at the end of June and
the vacancies may not be filled for some time.
The University owns two such projects, Amazon
and Westmoreland.
Amazon is the oldest of the two, being composed
of renovated World War II surplus buildings. It
contains 247 two-bedroom units and rents for $52.50
a month. It is within walking distance of campus.
Westmoreland contains 406 one- and two
bedroom apartments renting for $81 and $91 a
month, respectively.
The units in both projects are furnished, with
water and garbage being included in the rent.
Both projects are also the centers of some con
r
troversy between the tenants and the Housing Office
administration. The Amazon tenants have formed a
group known as the Amazon Cooperating Tenants
to deal with the administration and push for a share
of the decision-making in the project.
Two members of ACT, Dennis Gilbert and Mike
Doran, have also recently filed complaints against
the Housing Office administrators, charging them
with general neglect of duty in their dealings with
students. They have also charged that University
properties have been misused and appropriated for
personal gain by the administrators.
An investigation of the latter charge is being
conducted by the Oregon State Attorney General's
Office. An inquiry by a faculty committee into
possible violations of University policy is also
planned.
At Westmoreland this year a small girl drowned in
a drainage ditch adjacent to the project. Residents
formed a Westmoreland Safety Committee to try to
improve safety conditons around the project, in
which many small children live. The demands of this
committee include not only a better fence around the
ditch but also slower speed limits on the roads
through the project and other improvements.
A priority system has been established for alloting
vacancies at both projects. Top priority is given to
applicants with financial need. Graduate teaching
assistants will be given first priority, then graduate
students, followed by undergraduates.
Any inquiries into the housing situation at either
project should be addressed to Married Student
Housing Secretary, Housing Office, Carson Hall The
phone number is 68S-4281.

Project. There are few formal play areas for children, but the rent is low.
