ecstatic. In fact, she took it to
mean that he would be moving
back in. She couldn't be more
wrong.
You see, it was only Mona's
threat to leave town that prompted
Charles to change his mind, not
his love for Phoebe. Even Line
stopped by the house the other
day to try and get his mother to
face the fact that she had lost her
husband, but to no avail. Phoebe
thinks she's won, and even
though Charles told her in no un
certain terms that he wasn't com
ing back to her, she's happier
thinking he's going to.
Not that Phoebe's week was
without disappointment. She went
to traffic court and was found

guilty. She made up some cock
and bull story about rushing to the
hospital to get some medication.
But the judge didn't buy it and sen
tenced her to a week in jail, to be
served in seven days or three
consecutive weekends. You can
be sure that Phoebe didn't take it
lying down (imagine the judge
having the nerve to sentence a
Tyler) and though she finally
opted for three weekends, it
doesn t look like we've heard the
last of it.
Uh-oh. Look out for Clau
dette. She is on the move,
and this time she has her sights
set on Line. She went by to see
Paul the other day and found out
about Kitty s untimely (she must
have wanted out of the show,
otherwise her death would have
taken longer) demise and that was
all she needed to know.
She went by Line and Kitty s
place and though she knew full
well that Kitty wouldn’t be there,
she asked for her anyway. It was
all a clever ruse to get Line to ask
her out for dinner (which he did)
and if Nick gives her a job at the
Chateau, look out. And Danny boy
and Brook have been providing
some excitement too.
You II remember (probably not.
but it's a good way to start a parag
raph) that Dan got a scholarship to
go to Pine Valley U. The only
catch is that he has to keep his
grades up, something that's pretty
hard with Brook around 'cause
Brook hates to be alone. Between
Dan's job at the bookstore and the
studying he has to do, he has to
leave her alone quite a bit. Well,
Brook doesn t dig it and she told
him so. The result is that Dan s
starting to neglect his books in
favor of a woman. It's dangerous
business, Danny.
Not that Brook sits home when
Dan's away, she's going out with
Benny More. But the other night
she got caught, by Devin (who
wouldn't mind it if Dan got to be
more than a neighbor). When con
fronted Brook told Devin to mind
her own business and allowed
that she had Dan wrapped
around her little finger." It's not
clear whether Devin's going to
tell Dan (which would make him
jealous as hell) because she
knows how much Dan s hooked.
Oh. and speaking of Devin,
Mark stopped by to see her
mother (it turns out that her
name s Ellen, but I was close) the
other day and she admitted that
she loves him. Love isn t unusual
in Pine Valley, but Devin s
threatened to leave if her mother
keeps seeing Mark Don t look
now Devin, but that s bound to
happen.
Housing shortage causes
area-wide ‘crisis situation’
By KEVIN HARDEN
Of the Emerald
A lack of housing for low
income persons and senior citi
zens in Lane County has caused a
"crisis situation in providing shel
ter for welfare recipients and
clients of the county a department
of Community Health and Social
Services, Bob Whittaker told the
Lane County Commissioners
Wednesday morning
Whittaker, the head of the
Community Health and Social
Services Department, told com
missioners appropriate shelter, a
vital part of the social services
provided by his department, is al
most non-existant in Eugene and
Lane County.
The problem Whittaker said,
has reached emergency propor
tions with the influx of students in
to the city for the beginning of the

A list of available apartments
and houses compiled by the social
services department includes only
15 rentals with an average
monthly rent of $300
Whittaker s remarks were made
during the regular meeting of the
Lane County Commissioners.
The commissioners approved a
motion to study the problems exp
lained by Whittaker and other
members of the Community
Council on Specialized Housing
A letter drafted by the
specialized housing council carry
ing 22 signatures was read to the
commissioners. It explained the
council has long been aware of a
critical shortage of housing for in
dividuals and families with limited
income."
In recent weeks the problem
has skyrocketed, council member
Kathy Wright, told the commis
sioners. As an organization of
agencies and individuals involved
in coordinating the efforts in
the City and County to meet hous
ing needs for special groups, we
are highly concerned," she said
Eugene is slowly beginning to
create ghettos for people living on
fixed incomes, Bill Uhlhorn, direc
tor of the family Shelter House at
2625 Hilyard Street, told the
commissioners.
There are only a few apart
ments in Eugene low income peo
pie can afford. Uhlhorn said , and
those apartments are slowly de
velpmg into ghettos where no one
else will live.
Although the average famly in
come level has risen only slightly
in comparison to rent and housing
prices over the past three years,
no new relief in the form of grants
is planned by the State Legisla
ture. according to Neely of the
state Adult and Family Services
division.
With no relief or funds to pay
their rent, some people are forced
into eviction. Jim Kocher, director
of the Legal Aid services exp
lained to the commissioners
We re seeing people who have
lived in an apartment for two years
and then get evicted for no
reason Kocher said The law
makes no exceptions for hardship
cases, which causes a problem of
emergency housing for those
evicted
In the short range we have to
have emergency housing for
these people, he explained, "In
the long range we need more low
income housing.
No time-table has been set for
the consideration of the housing
problem The next step is to hold a
meeting and decide what action
can be taken to alleviate the prob
lem until housing is provided
through the commissioners, Lom
ont explained.
