LTD
seeks
public
feedback
The Lane Transit District (LTD)
is holding a series of public
meetings to see if people outside
the Eugene-Springfield area are
interested in bus service.
Members of the board of
directors of LTD, a state agency,
will hear testimony and answer
questions in Oakridge, Coburg,
Florence and Junction City as well
as other incorporated and unin
corporated areas of Lane.
LTD General Manager Fred Dyer
said the Dublic meetings were
being held for two reasons: to
gauge local interest in bus service
and to see how the service can be
most responsive to local needs.
The hearings, which began
Monday, will be held Monday
through Thursday for four weeks.
Tonight's meeting will be held at 8
p.m. in the Mohawk Grange.
Thursday's meeting will be for
persons in the Lowell, Unity, Fall
Creek and Jasper areas. It will be
held at 8 p.m. in the Lowell
Grange Hall.
The primary source of revenue
for the transit district is an
employers tax. It is levied on
employers and based on money
they pay in wages and salaries.
The highest concentration of
employers in the coun ty is in the
Eugene-Springfield area. If the
district expands it may have to
rely more heavily on its other
sources of revenue which include
state grants and fares.
Those interested in the public
hearings can get more infor
mation at 687-0613.

ASUO plans drive
Voters beware j
An extensive voter registration drive for fall term is being
planned by the ASUO Office of Local, State and Federal j
Affairs (OLSFA).
The drive is scheduled to begin during registration at Mac j
Court and the EMU this fall. A number of voter registration j
tables will be available to register or re-register students.
The purpose of the drive, according to OLSFA's Associate \
Director Kirby Garrett, is to provide the student lobbyists at ;
the state legislature with credibility.
"It is imperative," he said, "that as many students are
registered to vote as possible. Without that very basic ■
demonstration of political concern and enfranchisement, the
effectiveness of the student advocates could be seriously :
inhibited." j
Many students feel alienated from the voting process, he j
continued, however they can make their influence felt by :
voting. ;
\
Garrett concluded that "it is time for the University 0
community to become voting activists." 4

Alleged
'Alphabet
Bomber'
captured
LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Police Tuesday
captured the alleged “Alphabet Bomber"
who claimed responsibility for the dealiest
civil airport bombing in U.S. history and
had threatened a wave of terror.
Assistant Police Chief Daryl Gates
identified the suspect as Muharelm
Kuregovic, 31, a Yugoslav who entered the
United States in 1967.
L
Gates and William Sullivan, assistant FBI
director in charge of the Los Angeles office,
said Kuregovic was allegedly the "Isaac
Rasim" who had left at least two bombs.
They waid he would be charged with
murder in the explosion at Los Angeles
International Airport which killed three
persons and injured 35 on Aug. 6.
"Rasim" was the name used by a voice on
cassette tape recordings who took
responsibility for the bomb blast at the
airport.
The voice said he was acting on behalf of
"Aliens of America," calling for the
abolition of all federal immigration and
naturalization laws, among other things. He
vowed to "write our name in blood across
the face of America." The voice on the
tapes said the airport bomb stood for the
letter "A". On Friday a powerful bomb was
discovered in a locker at the Greyhound
bus depot, but was removed by bomb
squad officers after "Rasim" said in a tape
message where the bomb could be found.
That stood for the letter "L", he said.
"Rasim" had also demanded the abolition
of all sex laws a greater separation between
church and state, and punishment for two
police officers, now retired, who killed two
Mexican illegal aliens by mistake during a
raid several years ago. They were cleared of
wrongdoing.
Model plane carrying grenade,
smoke bombs 'a simple project'?
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UPI)
Sheriff Mel Bailey said Tuesday
his department has purchased a
model plane with a six-foot wing
span which can carry and eject a
hand grenade or a smoke bomb
for use against snipers taking
cover atop tall buildings.
Bailey said in extreme cases the
remote-controlled plane could
carry an explosive charge to
demolish doors behind which
criminals might be hiding.
He said the $300 plane can fly at
a speed of 60 miles per hour and
"under the guidance of an ex
perienced controller the plane
would be difficult to shoot down
from the air.
"It's a simple project," he said,
"and I'm surprised someone
hasn't thought of it."
