Title IX reports on display By PHIL WALDSTEIN Of the Emerald A display opens today at the Of fice of Affirmative Action, 465 Oregon Hall, that is not designed to please the casual art viewer. Through May 24, the work of the Title Nine Task Force — reports on sex discrimination from Uni versity academic departments and service and administrative units — will be available for public inspection, says Joanne Carlson, assistant dean of the Graduate School and chairer of the task force. The task force, composed of 17 students, faculty and staff mem bers appointed in December by Ray Hawk, vice-president for ad ministration and finance, wants public comments on the reports. These comments should be submitted in writing by May 28, according to Carlson. Comments don’t need to be signed, but the writer should indicate whether he is a student, faculty or staff member, or simply an interested citizen. In addition, a work session will be held on Tuesday, May 25 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the EMU, where written comments may be dropped off and persons wanting KZEL-FM Presents Jimmy Buffett^ and The Coral Reefer Band with Jerry Jeff Walker and The Lost Gonzo Band Thursday, May 20, 8 p.m. Lane County Fairgrounds Auditorium (with chairs) Tickets are $5 in advance, $6 at the door Available at Sun Shop, Chrystalship, EMU Main Desk at U of 0, and Everybody’s (Corvallis & Eugene) A Double Tee Event John Roberts Ring Days Monday & Tuesday Get Your 10-K Gold /IRK7IRVED COLLEGE RING BY JOHN ROBERTS Meet Factory Rep Gene Os ten 9:00-4:00 both day s University of Oregon BOOKSTORE , INC. • Mar-Fri 8 15 ? 00 tel 9-1 00 • 89S East 13th Avenue to speak about the reports will have five minutes for a presenta tion. Carlson asks that those want ing to comment verbally on May 25 call ext. 5136 any weekday af ternoon to be scheduled for a pre sentation. Written comments can be sent to Carlson at the Graduate School. Besides talking over written and verbal comments at the May 25 session, the task force will look at the results of a poll sent to 10 per cent of University students last week asking their preferences in physical activity. Carlson says this will help the University comply with the Title Nine requirement that says an institution must pro vide equal athletic programs and facilities according to students' in terests and abilities. The task force has tentatively set the period of June 1 through 10 to review ail comments and re ports and recommend action that will correct any sexual discrimina tion. The recommendations then go to Ralph Sunderland, director of management and budget, who will estimate the cost of any corrective action. Carlson expects to have a final report for University Pres. William Boyd by June 30. Boyd has until July 21 to submit the report as a University self evaluation to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW). The guidelines set up by HEW last year to enforce Title Nine require a 1976 interim report on the University's progress to ward achieving sexual equality by 1978. Title Nine of the 1972 Federal Education Amendments prohibits sexual discrimination in federally-assisted education programs. --- > Fund drive begins to aid University "Together We Can" is the theme of the campus Second Century Drive which is being launched today by some 200 faculty and staff. All 2,500 faculty and staff will be contacted this week by mail or in person and asked to contribute at least one to two per cent of their salary to the University. The drive is part of a special fund-raising project planned to coincide with the University's Centennial. "A gift from a member of the University community is an investment in his or her future, as well as a commitment to the University,” explains Stoddard Malarkey, chairer of the Cam pus Second Century Drive. He is associate dean of the Col lege of Liberal Arts and associate professor of English. "The goal is for everyone to help the University meet its commitment to excellence. Together we can do it," Malarkey says. He points out that a payroll deduction plan has been ar ranged to give faculty and staff a chance to stretch their donations over a period of one to five years. The deduction can be canceled or changed at any time. Contributions, which are tax deductible, are completely con fidential. They can be made as general gifts to the University or to one of s.everal special projects. Mining company fined for pollution violations From AP Reports Fines totaling more than $1 mill ion were assessed last week against Reserve Mining Co. and its parent firms for polluting Lake Superior in violation of state per mits. The firm's taconite processing plant at Silver Bay, Minn., dis charges up to 67,000 tons of finely ground waste rock daily into the largest and purest of the Great Lakes. Amazon tenants seek possible cooperative Amazon Cooperative Tenants (ACT) have enlisted the efforts of a Eugene auditing firm in the planning of their proposed cooperative. The firm is conducting a cost-benefit analysis which will compare the housing office s budget for the married student housing to that of the proposed co-op. The idea of forming a management cooperative came about as a result of the housing department plans to raise rents for most Amazon and Westmoreland apartments by $10 on July 1. According to Dave Zupan, an ACT representative, the management cooperative would lease the housing complex from the University, assuming complete control of management and maintenance. ACT plans to discuss the proposed co-op and voice its objections to the rent hike at a May 18 public hearing in 101 EMU. “We really want to work with the University — not against it,” said Zupan. “Consumers should have a voice in running their own commun ity, thus strengthening that community.” £ The fine is one of the largest ever assessed in an environmen tal case. The State of Minnesota had asked the court to impose $40.2 million in fines, plus court costs for the alleged pollution. In addition to the fines imposed for violation of state water dis charge permits from May 20,1973 to April 20, 1974, the court also held that Reserve “violated court rules and orders as to discovery ' of background information in the lawsuit. Reserve Mining Co. is jointly owned by Republic and Armco Steel Corporations. The company announced Thursday the fines would be appealed to the 8th U S. Circuit Court of Appeals at St. Louis. Mo. The appeal was the latest twist in a case that has festered in the courts for half a dozen years, causing a conflict among jobs, en vironmental standards and health in northeastern Minnesota. Reserve president Merlyn Woodle denied allegations of delay and bad faith by the com pany. He said the company is “firmly committed" to a discharge site some four miles from Silver Bay at an estimated cost of more than $300 million.
