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.
Women professionals will lead sessions in assertiveness training,
health care, polarity, shiatsu (a form of massage), bio-energetics,
communication skills and awareness through movements. 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.

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
