University charged with discrimination against two women resident managers (Continued from Page 2) able to develop that knowledge, particularly if his responsibilities also included managing the Amazon project. However, Smith asserted the new manager will be able to become familiar with individual Miscellane ous units. Recently, the resident managers in Amazon and Miscellaneous Housing won a long court battle over their employe classification. They were originally classified as Custodian-1 employes, and earned bet ween $300 and $400 a month. However, the court ordered the Univer sity to reclassify them as Custodian-ll employes, who earn between $500 and $600 a month each. The managers won the suit on the grounds that the University sexually discriminated against them. They are both women. One particularly angry tenant, John Eldridge, husband of the assis tant manager of Amazon, charged that H. Phillip Barnhart, University housing director, planned the housing reorganization in “retaliation” against the resident managers for filing suit against the University. Eldridge’s wife’s position will also be eliminated if the new proposal goes into effect. Barnhart denied Eldridge's accusation. Eldridge said the move was timed badly because August is usually a high tenant turnover period. He argued that all of the present mana gers should be allowed to finish their terms of appointment, which will all run out within one year, before the housing office institutes a changeover. Barnhart noted that the present resident managers were offered the new job, but each declined it. Tenants said that the job had more responsibility than they were able to assume. But they also argued that the part-time managers are actually working a full-time shift. “The present Miscellaneous housing manager is working full time, one Miscellaneous tenant said. “That isn’t fair; the University is getting a good deal." Sally Smith agreed. “I think the present managers feel that their jobs are not workable on a part-time basis," she said. The tenants present at the meeting all seemed to feel that the part-time managers provided adequate service. They fear that the new arrangement will result in decreased service. Sally Smith noted that private apartment managers sometimes manage as many as 300 units. But Amazon and Miscellaneous total 360 units, and most of the Miscel laneous units are individual homes, not standardized apartments. Ron Leach, president of the Married Student Housing Council (MSHC), which does not include Miscellaneous residents, said that John Thorpe, married student housing director, promised the council he would consult it about any expense over $2000. But, he said, Thorpe failed to consult him over this issue. Miscellaneous tenants also claimed that they had not been consulted. Barnhart said that the charge was “notan attempt to step on the Married Student Housing Council's toes Because Miscellaneous Housing tenants do not belong to the MSHC, Harry Van Oudenallen, a Miscellaneous tenant who did not attend the meeting, said Smith twice refused his requests to help him form a similar organization for Miscellaneous Housing. Smith said that Valerie Mclver, Miscellaneous resident manager, discouraged her from meeting with groups of tenants. Tenants and other interested persons who wish to express their views on the proposed management plan may call Sally Smith at 686-4283, John Thorpe at 686-4281, or H.

The book is intended to provide assistance and direction to per sons interested in and concerned about the future of the State of Oregon, according to David Povey, chairman of the department, which is a part of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts. “No ‘ready made’ environmental solutions are set forth," explained Povey. “The Guide is not intended to provide prescriptions; rather, it is intended to help clarify environmental problems, identify existing meas ures for addressing these issues and provide assistance to persons interested in becoming involved in the solution of various environmental questions and planning issues." he said Povey pointed out, “Our environment is a complex system which includes social, economic, legal and political institutions relating to natural environmental features He said the guide attempts to explore each one of these compo nents. William Clark, visiting assistant professor of urban planning at the University, served as project coordinator for the federal grant which supported the development of the guide.
