The Dead rise at Mac Court
They walked among the tombstones sipping apricot
Annie Green Springs. Good stuff. But you gotta drink it
by the barrel. Others sat comotose with milky stares,
wrapped in blankets amidst soaked and bleeding news
papers, risen at 2 a.m. — now ready to die. A grey
haired man sprouting red and yellow fungus wanders
about, waving a papercup. He came from Idaho. Stu
dents, come to spectate, stood waiting. All waiting. "I
never thought I’d get to see the Dead.”
The doors opened, revealing cops and feelers with
big groping hands probing for glass, patting legs,
stomachs, arms. Even leather fell prey. A bota bag,
apprehended, sends a round stream of 800-proof
southern piss splashing and flowing through the bleed
ing newspapers, beer bottles and grime. Gotcha.
“Just feeling for bottles, you can bring in all the weed
you want.”
The Dead heads moved to the front. “This is my
69th concert." Painted eyelids, Painted faces, Dead
faces, Positioning for the experience. The red lights
come on, and the Grateful Dead slowly take hold. They
caught the front row, then the second. Dancers clus
tered near the exits. Toward the back the audience still
waited, smoke particals swimming laps in their eyeballs.
"No smoking, Mac Court is all wood. A little bounc
ing light headed past. A little closer, a little closer,
“sssph, sssph.” The Dead changed tempo, moving
with the spectators, eating away to the center, eating
away.
“AHHHHHHhhhh" Climax. Empty again, wanting
to be filled. Over 10,000 individual corporations waiting
for an anti-trust suit. “Twaaaaang, Twaaang." Red. Bal
loons, Frisbees, the standard props for Mac Court. The
higher rows call out, “Get it up here, up here.”
“They're fusing the old stuff, it’s a concept.”
“A supreme sound.”
The sounds fused. The frisbees flew. Heads
floated around.
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and
some don’t care. The Dead.

Straub says timber, wilderness balance possible
By RICHARD SEVEN
Of the Emerald
Providing an adequate number
of jobs for Oregonians and pre
serving the amount of wilderness
areas is possible if a comprehen
sive planning program can be
worked out, Gov. Bob Straub
says.
Straub, speaking at the eighth
annual Associated Loggers Con
ference, said three main issues
should be solved if Oregonians
are to “have our wilderness and
the employment we need to eniov
it.”
The first issue involves inten
sive forestry and increased in
vestment on Oregon’s timber
lands. Straub said if good man
agement practices were im
mediately implemented on the
remaining national forest acres,
the state could economically af
ford more wilderness.
Straub said federal forest land
in the state are not producing as
much timber as they could if the
forest service had enough financial
backing to increase its manpower.
Secondly, he said Oregon must
curb log exportation. “When we ex
port logs, we export jobs," he said,
said.
Straub said a joint United
States-Japan Study Committee
has been set up to find ways to
substitute the exporting of logs for
finished wood products.

according to the Governor, is in
creasing harvest outputs on small
woodlots in the state.
“Almost three-and-a-half mill
ion acres of timber land are un
derdeveloped on those wood
lots,” Straub said. "If we can get
those lands into meaningful pro
duction and develop harvest
schedules and long-term man
agement plans, we will go a long
way toward overcoming the pre
dicted decline of the timber indus
try.”
Straub said Oregonians have
cause for long-range optimism, but
they also have a major concern —
growth.
“Our biggest problem arrives
daily on Highway 80N and Inters
tate 5,” Straub said. “Since 1970,
210,000 people have moved to
Oregon and they’re still coming —
at a rate of 2.1 percent a year.”
Straub said the population
growth will put further strain on
housing, building and employ
ment, and will increase demands
to strip the soil.
"As the needs for growth and
development come head-to-head
with the limitations of our natural
resources, we will find decisions
increasingly harder to make," he
said.
Straub stressed the importance
of meeting these issues to ensure
Oregonians reach a "middle
ground between jobs and the en
vironment that will maintain our
economy without turning Oregon
into another southern California
The beauty of Oregon is hard to
see when you're standing in the
unemployment line.”
Zoning issue still unsettled
The city and the county may still
remain at oods over the issue of
annexed land development, de
spite a State Land Conservation
and Development Commission
(LCDC) decision reached Friday
that was supposed to shed some
light on the controversy.
The decision informally a
dopted by the LCDC may make it
easier for cities to develop agricul
tural land within their urban boun

daries. The new rule says cities
may zone annexed land as they
see fit, provided it has been legally
incorporated into the city.
However, the rule goes on to
state that the land annexed by the
city may be defined as “urban or
urbanizable” only if it is “physi
cally developed for urban uses or
is within an area physically de
veloped for urban use.” The rule
also says the annexations are
possible “only after giving the
county a reasonable notice and
chance to participate."
Due to the vagueness of the
new ruling, the local controversy
over zoning of Cone-Breeden
property remains unresolved.
The city annexed the land last
spring and then zoned it to permit
residential, commercial and light
industrial development. Before
the annexation, the land had been
zoned by the county for agricul
tural purposes.

The Lane County Commission
ers went on the record last Thurs
day opposing the rule which
makes such annexation easier for
cities. A citizen's group is also ap
pealing the city's zoning action
and has won some preliminary
battles.
Mayor Gus Keller said he be
lieves the ruling legitimizes the
city's actions. But County Com
missionr Jerry Rust said the rule is
too ambiguous to be definitive, al
though he admits it does favor the
city’s stance. Both officials tes
tified before the commission.
Janet Gillaspie, director of the
University Su'vival Center, tes
tified against the rule, saying,
“blindly, arbitrarily deciding that
1,310 acres — 7.1 percent — of
prime agricultural and forest land
now in the city limits of Eugene
alone should now grow T.V. an
tennas and pavement is not land
use planning."
