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.

Willard emphasizes, “Nondis
crimination is passive. Our pro
gram is positive action to ferret out
traces of discrimination and dis
criminatory effects." Her office,for
example, is evaluating the work
tasks of administrative and cleri
cal workers to see that they are

Alpert maintains that affirmative
action has eliminated use of the
“buddy system” for hiring profes
sors. “The University has not low

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.”

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.
Student will serve as Fadeley aide
University student Cass Lindenberger has been named legislative
liaison with State Sen. Edward Fadeley.
Lindenberger will serve as liaison between Fadeley, and lobbyists
^^rConstltuents She will also be Fadeley s secretary on the Senate
. 1 h°Pe t0 ^ of telp to Senator Fadeley in his effort to dose the gap
Detween the Legislature and those who feel there is little chance for their
voices to be heard, Lindenberger says.
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
