Women’s workshop promotes self-help The Women's Referral and Resource Service will conduct a com munications workshop Saturday from 10a.m. to5:30p.m. at the Central Presbyterian Church, 1475 Ferry St. The workshop will introduce individuals of the Eugene area to self-improvement programs available to them.

There is no registration charge but participants are asked to bring a sack lunch Beverages and child care will be provided. Women's Referral and Resource Service is an ASUO organization and its purpose is to 'aid women in their search for information, skills, tools and services which will help them gain autonomy in a sexist culture", according to Priscilla Elder, assistant coordinator. Services the group offers includes a library and resource file of information about health services, abortion, pregnancy, counseling, legal aid, businesses, sports and other related subjects. Individuals use Women’s Referral and Resource Service as a meeting place to exchange information on housing, jobs and new services in the area, and to organize themselves into counseling, study and skill groups. Located in Suite 1 of the EMU, the service is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The office is staffed by volunteers. ? feeling- UPTIGHT?[come RELAX j I \ I Open to Men, Women, Couples •' Mon. & Wed 11 a m.-5 p.m. Tues , Thurs., Fn , Sat 11 a m.-8 p.m I ■ Sauna • Whirlpool • Polarity therapy \ 'I III Mi- : I, • rummy merapy ) • Swedish Massage j j • Relaxation area State licensed , t I, 117 Monroe, Eugene La.

In five-minute meeting Profs push semester system Though Wednesday’s General Faculty meeting lasted just five minutes, there was still time for two organizational proposals. Both are scheduled for discussion at the group's next meeting in February. The first proposal, sponsored by marketing professor John Wish, history professor Paul Hoi bo and management professor James Koch calls for establishment of the early semester system throughout the University. At present only the law school operates under the early semester system, with the first semester beginning in August and concluding in December and the second semester begin ning in January and concluding in May. Holbo sees three distinct advantages to the early semester system over the current term system. "First of all," he said, “the term system doesn't offer sufficient time to complete the work of a course." The fact that the early semester system will reduce the frequency of registering, buying books and the like also is an advantage, he noted, and it will be less costly for the University. "We expect to save a substantial amount of money," he said, through eliminating one registration session and set of report cards, for example The second proposal, introduced by an thropology professor Malcolm McFee prop oses that the double listing of 400 and 500 level courses be permitted in the course guide McFee explained that currently a single course may be listed twice in the course schedule — offered by different departments under differ ent titles. "But it's the same course," he exp lained, "meeting at the same time with the same instructor Students receive credit from whichever department they enrolled through.” McFee said that although courses are already offered in this manner it isn't strictly legal and his proposal is designed to rectify this situa tion. Handicapped gain inroads — slowly By KEVIN HARDEN Of the Emerald While much attention is focused on the 1977 Oregon Legislature and the issues before it, decisions made four years ago are slowly becoming reality on the University campus. Legislation effective January 1973 that provided for the removal of architectural barriers to the dis abled in and around public build ings has begun to take the form of walkway ramps and curb cuts in campus sidewalks Several studies by the Univer sity Physical Plant in conjunction with the physically handicapped students' organization, ALERT, and Darrel Ackerman of the Uni versity Planning Office staff, sug gest possible remedies but action taken on the legislation has been slow and costly. According to Physical Plant Di rector Harold Babcock, curb cuts for bicycle and wheelchair traffic could cost from $150 to $300. In terior and exterior walkway ramps cost from $10 to $50. Since it would be unreasonable to expect all the needed modifica tions to be completed at one time, an October, 1976 Planning Com mittee report on the accessibility of campus walkways established several prionties These include the intensity of use by both wheel chair and bicycle traffic, the build ings and areas supporting cur ricula which attract handicapped students and the cost of various alternatives in planning. While most walkways and build ings have been made accessible over the past several years, some are still deficient Construction of nearly all existing ramps and curb cuts still does not meet accepted standards of accessibility for blind students. Although the University has continually worked toward improv ing campus accessibility, money has become a problem Most money for construction and mod ification comes from special state and federal funds and private do nations "We received funding to modify about six buildings," said William Manley, assistant to the physical plant director, "but now we re hav ing trouble getting funds to up grade existing sidewalks " According to Manley, modifica tion work is done only as money becomes available Other problems faced by the Planning Committee include the accessibility of campus building interiors. Some buildings, accord ing to Manley, can be made to meet accessibility standards only to the first floor Elevators to re lieve this cost about $22,000 and are scheduled to be installed in several buildings by the end of next summer briefs MEETINGS The Baptist Student Union wiH meet at 7 30 to night at 1340 Mril St Apt 207 Tonight s tope is tonefcness ' LECTURES Loren Raymond of Southern Oregon State Col iege wiH speak on Possible Mid-Plate Megmabsm m the Franciscan Complex of CaWomia at 12 30 p.m today m Room 307.
