Talk about them today in the EMU at 12:30 Elderly emphasize lower utility rates The Gray Panthers held a can dlelght parade and marched on the homes of four state legislators Friday night in an attempt to dramatize the need for reduced utility rates for low income people The march was held statewide and over 200 persons partici pated Gray Panthers is a group dedicated to securing rights for senior citizens Ron Wyden, head of the local group, said the march was a dramatic way to symbolize that a lot of older people are not going to have more than candlelight to light their homes The Panthers turned to state legislators after the public utilities commissioner last month decided he did not have the authority to cut utility rates. The commissioner said that it was the Legislature s problem, not his. Wyden hopes to develop a rate structure for low income people that insures they receive the minimum amount of power they need to survive at cheap rates Seventy-five persons partici pated in the parade and marched to the homes of state legislators Mary Burrows, Grattan Kerans, Ted Kulongoski and Dave Frohnmayer. National head of the Gray Panther Party, Maggie Kuhn, will be speaking Friday at the Celeste Campbell Center, 155 High St., at the second stalewide Gray Panther convention The topic is Age and Youth in Action Politics and Community Services," and the program will focus on health care issues. The Second Annual Senior Boogie will also be held Friday at Pi Kappa Psi The dance is $1 per person with students taking a senior citizen as a date To protest tuition hikes’ Bomb threat fizzled The University s science build ing was evacuated early Friday morning in response to a bomb threat made by an anonymous cal ler. According to Oakley Glenn, Campus Security director, the security office received a call at about 8:30 a m. from a male with a very low, soft voice who said a bomb would go off at 10 a m. Glen quoted him as saying, A bomb is going off in physics to pro test the tuition hike." When an attempt was made to get further information, the caller hung up, Glenn said Bert Knorr, a member of both the Revolutionary Student Brigade and the Committee to Fight for the Right to an Educa tion, said he didn't know anything about it. Both committees have been actively protesting the tuition hike planned by the State Board of Higher Education for next year The building was emptied by 9:45 a m., Lockard said A search of all floors was made, but turned up nothing Students were al lowed to return to the building at 10:30 a m. Lockard said the building "was pretty thoroughly searched.” He explained that the persons work ing in the physics lab checked the lab themselves, since an outsider wouldn't detect something as readily as a person familiar with the lab.
