‘Not just a
babysitting
service’
Day care services are available to the University
student in two forms: the Child Care and Develop
ment Center (CCDC) and the EMU Child Care Prog
ram.
CCDC, a department of the EMU receiving inci
dental fee funding, is “not just a babysitting service,
but a developmental program,” says Jan Heile, sec
retary. The center is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Monday through Friday and is closed weekends. The
office, located at 1511 Moss St., is open from 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Four care “time slots" are available during the
summer: middle day care, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; half day
care, either 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. or 12:30 p.m. to
5:30 p.m.; full day care, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Heile
says the center will be open through the 11-week
summer session if there is enough demands.
Rates for summer term day care are: infants, $7
for full day, $3.50 for half day; regulars (two-and-a
half years old to ten years) $6.20 for full day, $3.10 for
half day. A special rate of $5.28 is available for both
groups for middle day care.
CCDC does have a waiting list now and applica
tions for care are available at the office. Subsidies
are available on half-day basis only for University
students. The center will take children from ages one
to 10 years during the summer.
"We are kindergarten-oriented tor the older
children,” says Heile of the program. The center
serves breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack and
children take several field trips around the University
area. CCDC operates out of four buildings; the main
building is on Moss Street.
For students with children who require only oc
casional or irregular day care, the EMU Child Care
Program (formerly University Drop-in Child Care
Center) provides day care on an hourly basis.
The facility is open beginning Tuesday from 8:15
a.m. to 3:45 p.m. and each school day through the
11-week session. A parents meeting tonight at 7:30
will be held to schedule the bulk of the program's
child care hours, according to Director Edd Casto.
The program will be open to preschool children, ages
2% to 6 years. Rates are 85 cents per hour.
Casto says the program will accept elementary
age children on an irregular emergency-type basis
as the CCDC does not provide drop-in care.
The program’s care is also based on a develop
mental emphasis with a child-caregiver ratio of six to
one. Two snacks and a lunch will be furnished at no
extra charge and field trips around the campus are
offered.
More information is available by calling
686-4345 or at the program in the lower floor of the
EMU addition.

Seeking a place
to call
home?
Sleeping in the bus depot was
all right for one night, but it sure
didn't have that homey touch you
had in mind for your new Eugene
■pad.” "Where am I going to live?
was no doubt your first question
on arrival to the University. And
that question was probably fol
lowed with another quick one —
"Where can I live?"
Eugene offers a whole spec
trum of housing options for the
University student which ranges
from ra-ra green and yellow to
penthouse pink. No matter what
kind of person you are, you can
probably find a place to suit you
with little trouble for the summer,
although some of the choice ones
are already taken
The University's dormitories,
whether first or last on your priority
list, have plenty of room this sum
mer. They house about an equal
number of men and women, and
nearly two-thirds are freshmen.
Although single rooms are tricky
On June 21, a new branch of

to get in the fan. they come rairiy
easily in the summer. And the
usual reservation, deposit and/or
advance payment which accom
panies fall, winter and spring dor
mitory living is not around for
summer. If you want to move in,
just go to the main housing office
in Carson Hall.
Room and board rates for the
dormitories vary, depending on
which dorm you live in and how
long you stay. For all on-campus
dorms, room rates for the eight
week session are $114 for a dou
ble and $178 for a single. Those
figures rise to $164 and $232 re
spectively for the University Inn,
the University's off-campus "lux
ury" dormitory featuring private
bathrooms and telephones. Only
the on-campus dormitories will
stay open through the end of the
eleven-week session.
The eight-week, seven-day
board rate for on-campus dormit
ory residents is $182. For the
eleven-week stay, it is $276.
Five-day board rates are also av
ailable. No board is available at
the University Inn.
The pluses to dormitory living
are many You don't have to cook
for yourself, you live close to your
classes and you're bound to meet
people.
The minuses are also many.
The food is famous for bad quality,
you rarely have a quiet study night
and privacy is zilch
After living m the dormitones for
a year, the most classic move is
into an apartment. Apartment liv
ing is the most popular housing
option among University students,
but getting a reasonable one close
to campus can be tncky
Almost all apartments decrease
in rent for the summer, some as
much as 20 per cent Just how
much one decreases depends on
how panicky the owner or sub
leasor is. Apartments can have a
lot of tangly terms, so be sure to
read the small print if you sign a
tease.
Similar to apartment living is
quad living A quad is an ar
rangement of four furnished single
bedrooms, with the four residents
sharing a central kitchen and
sometimes a central bathroom.
Some of the more expensive
quads feature individual bath
rooms
Quads do not involve leases,
but managers do require security
deposits which range from $25 to
$75. Quad rates start at about $65
a month during the summer Dur
ing the regular school year, the
rent ranges from $80 to $100.
Most of Eugene's quads are close
to campus and look like apartment
buildings from the outside. Like
dormitories, they can get pretty
lively or noisy.
If you want the most economical
living arrangement this summer,
you may be out of luck. Co
operatives are usually the least
expensive of all places to live, but
there may not be any room left in
them for summer. Of Eugene's
four student co-ops, only two
(Philadelphia House and Camp
bell Club) are open this summer,
and both report nearly full occu
pancy already. You would proba
bly have a better chance getting
into one next fall.
The University has been ex
periencing a mass revival of
Greek living during recent years,
and you may want to keep it in
mind for fall. During the summer,
only a few of the fraternities and
sororities will be open and only for
members. If you want to join, you'll
have to wait until rush week, which
begins a few days before new stu
dent week in September.
If you’re having trouble tracking
down the right place to live, check
the ASUO off-campus housing of
fice in Suite 3 of the EMU or the
on-campus housing office in Car
son Hall. by Martha Bliss
