MAV0E I CAN SET A 6000 NI6WT'S SLEEP FOR ONCE, AMP NOT FEEL SO T\REP IN SCHOOL TOMOKKOD.. Weaver plans rationing bill I By LESLIE ZAITZ Of the Emerald Legislation to create a national gasoline ration ing system will be introduced in Congress by Fourth District Rep. James Weaver. Weaver is proposing the federal government allocate gas stamps to all persons 18 years or older based on available fuel resources in the country Weaver also proposes that 20 per cent of each stamp allocation go to local governments. The gov ernment allocation he explained would be used for purchasing fuel for government vehicles or to sell to the public to raise revenue. Weaver will submit the bill to the House as an alternative to the energy package presented by Pres Gerald Ford. Ford’s proposal included a $3 increase in the oil import tax which economic experts say would result in a 10-cent a gallon price increase Weaver said people who don't need fuel stamps “can sell them if they'd rather walk or ride the bicycle. It's an income supplement for the elderly and those who use mass transit.” Weaver said food producers would receive prior ity in obtaining fuel "to assure the maximum food production possible." Under Weaver s bill the Federal Energy Ad ministration would be responsible for developing guidelines concerning distribution of ration stamps. The Fourth District congressman explained he proposed the rationing program because Pres. Ford's proposed energy program “would wreck the economy." Weaver said he also favors a comprehensive energy conservation package including strict oil import quotas and tax credits for solar heating and home insulation. briefs MEETINGS A general EGSAC meeting will be held at 3:30 p.m Thursday, in 180 PLC Changes m the course procedures, degree requirements, and other mat ters of importance will be dscussed All English graduate students are Invited to attend The lnt»-Vars*y Christian Feiowship meets at 7 p.m every Tuesday at tie Strfford Lounge In Earl compter Tonight s topic is "Is Jesus GodT There veil be a meeting of the Incidental Fee Committee at 730 Thursday night In the EMU, room to be posted There will be a meeting at 7:30 p.m Wednesday in the EMU concerning the strike proposal of the Oregon State Employe s Association Les Stnckler. president of the OSEA. and Don Kelley Mil be there to answer questions and speak The Gerontology Association Executive Commit tee Mil meet at 5:30 p m tonight m the EMU to discuss plans tor the Winte Forian scheduled for Feb 22 The room for the meeting Mil be posted The Journalism Student Union meets every other Wednesday, beginning this week in the Allen Seminar Room, third floor of Eric Allen Hall The meetings will be at 12:30 pm and this weeks meeting Mil discuss the dean search progress and tne course survey Pre-journalism or journalism majors welcome SPEAKERS Leslye Russell of the International Sooaksts will speak on "Mao s China and the American Lett, at 7:30 p.m Saturday at 1414 Kincaid St. The public is invited to a talk by Larry Barber assistant supenntendant for research development and evaluation of Eugene School Dtstnct 4-J at 7 tonight in Room 201A of the Clinical Services Build "9 Bernard Cohen, a professor from Pittsburg will speak at 3,30 p m today on "Environmental Im pacts of Nuclear Power The colloquim. spon sored by the physics department will be m 150 Science An outline wit bedstnbuted to the audi ence which deals math the environmental impact of nudear power KWAX-FM *11 Torsght on KWAX.

Her office,for example, is evaluating the work tasks of administrative and cleri cal workers to see that they are distributed fairly. Alpert maintains that affirmative action has eliminated use of the “buddy system” for hiring profes sors. “The University has not low ered its standards,” he says.

EUGENE BUSINESS COLLEGE miutlia 34S-3413 Only one case for reverse dis crimination against a white male appicant for a teaching position at the University has been filed with the federal government. It was eventually dismissed. Female custodial workers, however, have recently been awarded back pay and wages equal to male custo dial workers. Although there is “a tremendous backlog" of cases be fore the Equal Employment Commission, according to Alpert, the University has its own gne vance procedure for handling complaints. Alpert says that HEW “picks areas and cleans them up.' No one has ever been fired to make way for a woman or a minor ity group member at the Univer sity, according to Alpert and Wil lard. Handicapped persons are a new addition to the affirmative ac tion program, ar sexual orienta tion is not incluoed. When asked if the current economic recession did not, in ef fect, make hiring procedures more selective, because those who have traditionally been denied ac cess to academic positions, espe cially minorities, would be elimi nated from consideration on ac count of the small number of jobs available, Alpert replied, “Com petition is keener. The bidding is great.” Willard says, "It's a slow process.” (See related article on Page 3) Dr ex Heikes Randy ShHts Jim Gregory Warren Morgan Lee Siegel PM WaldBlem Cart Steward Jean* Shepherd Jenfer Biumberg Stare White Beth Van Deuser Dave Bushneli Carol McMullen Asaooate Editors Mary Don Leake Zaitz Jim Wortein Dave Ludwig Dennis Pfatf Shawn Ross iter Joy Farthing Dan Himsworth Kate Smgal Editor Managng Editor News Editor Graphics Editor Editorial Page Editor Cm* Night Editor Sports Editor Entertainment Editor Wire Editor World News Supplement Asst GrapNcs Editor Asst Sports Editor Asst Entertainment Editor Features & In-Depth City, County, State Govt ASUO Govt A Agencies Environment & Consumer Attars Administration a Student Services University Departments & Schools Advertising Manager Classified Ads Production Manager The Oregon Daily Emerald is published Monday through Friday during fall, writer and spring terms, except during«exam weeks and vacation periods Dunng summer session the Emerald is published Monday through Thursday for the eight-week term and weekly tor the remainder of the 11-week term The Oregon Daily Emerald is published by the Oregon Daily Emerald Publishing Co., Inc., at the University of Oregon Second class postage paid at Eugene, Oregon 97403 Subscription rates (1) University of Oregon student and facUty-staff subscription rates are based on annual contracts between the Emerald arid theASUO, and the Emerald and the University administration The subscnDtion rate is 53.52 a person (2) Special subscriptions for persons not included m category (1) are available for 515 a year (12 mon«is) or $6 a term The Oregon Daily Emerald offices are in Room 301 of the Erb Memorial Union News 5 Editonel phone number is 686-5511 Display advertising number is 686-3712 Classrfied advertising phone number *S 006-4343 ODEODEODEODEODE Josh Marquis. Pater Dietz. Drex Heikes — Executive Committee D_ /..et al/ Smith new married housing assistant To help married students who live in oft-campus University housing deal with their special problems, the University housing department last Monday named Sally Smith assistant director of Married Student Hous ing. Smith has lived in Eugene for 10 years For the last five years, she has acted as coordinator of federally funded low-income housing pro jects Smith replaced Richard Helms, a temporary administrative assis tant to Mamed Student Housing Director John Thorpe. In searching for Helms replacement, the department sent notices of the job opening to universities and employment agencies throughout the Northwest in November. The department began interviewing applicants in December Smith was hired, sne says, to perform three functions for married student housing: •—help marned students find the various services they need that Eugene offers; *—inprove and increase communications between marned stu dents and the housing department; •—help students organize the Mamed Student Housing Gover nance Committee, to increase student voce in department decisions. Smith s contract, which gives her the wage and status of a Univer sity instructor, runs out in June “Housing is more than a roof over your head," Smith says, “it’s making a person a part of the community.” New lights planned on Franklin Blvd. Work is currently underway on a complete reconstruction of the traffic signal system along Franklin Boulevard, according to Harold Babcock, Physical Plant director, and A1 Williams of the Eugene Traffic Engineering Division Williams said the reconstruction from Mill Street to Walnut Street is designed to eliminate conflicting flashing amber and red lights, provide more flexibility for inbound and outbound traffic and allow more flexibility for the traffic leaving special events at the University as they enter Franklin via Agate Street Babcock commented that the new system will improve all the pedestrian crossings on Franklin, but the primary concern was the crossing at Onyx Street and Franklin. He said the longer signal will allow adequate time to cross the street which is not the case now. "This has been a long awaited improvement Hopefully it will make it a much safer crossing," he said A button will be installed at this oomer for cyclists and food traffic, enabling them to control the light Williams predicted that the project will be done by early summer at a cost of $400,000.

Senator wants nuclear moratorium SALEM Sen Ted Hallock, D-Portland, has introduced a package of bills which would refer the issue of a nuclear plant moratorium to the Oregon voters. The three bills, (SB-120,121.127) prohibit the issuance of site permits for nuclear-fueled power plants. The bills would not effect the construction of the proposed nuclear power plant near Boardman on the Columbia River. Nor would they delay the anticipated opening this year of the Troian nuclear power plant near Rainier, Ore They would, if approved by voters on an election date as yet to be set, halt all nuclear power plant plans for five years. At the end of the moratorium, nudear power plant contractors would have to begin a construction process which has generally taken at least 12 years in the past. None of the bills have been referred to Senate committees
