... of environmental concern
By Catherine Siegner
Hearings on Portland Gen
eral Electric Co.’s (PGE) request
for a preliminary injunction to halt
the planned August 6 demonstra
tion at the Trojan plant are continu
ing in Washington County Circuit
Court.
PGE subpoenaed over 100 per
sons and two organizations Iasi
week to show cause why they
should not be enjoined from enter
ing the Trojan site, or from coun
seling others to do so.
The defendants appeared last
Friday in Columbia County Circuit
Court, but decided to request
another judge. The decision on
the injunction request will now be
made by Washington County
Judge Albert R. Musick.
Musick denied the defendants’
request to dismiss the suit Mon
day. PGE is presenting several
witnesses in the case, including
plant superintendent Bart With
ers; a Columbia County sheriff;
Duke Wieden, PGE vice
president, and Lt. Brockway of the
Oregon State Police.
A decision on the injunction re
quest is expected either today or
Friday.
The Chief of the U.S. Forest
Service has decided that the Wil
lamette National Forest's multiple
use land management plan may
be implemented.
John B. McGuire’s decision
ruled against appeals made by
two environmental organizations
— the Willamette Valley Conser
vationists, and the McKenzie
Guardians.
McGuire made one exception to
the Willamette Forest’s land allo
cations. Those allocations made
for interforest roadless areas are
withdrawn. An allocation decision
will be made on these areas when
they are considered in their en
tirety during another planning pro
cess.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is consider
ing an application by the Washing

near the Tri-Cities area.
The notice will be published in
the Federal Register. Anyone ob
jecting to the operating license
application may file a petition to
intervene with the Secretary of the
NRC in Washington, D.C.
Nuclear Project No. 2 is about
60 percent completed, and will be

Plan).
Steve Gordon, a planner with
the Lane Council of Governments,
will explain the planning process,
discuss the natural assets of our
metropolitan area (including some
endangered species) and suggest
ways citizens can make their
wishes known in the planning pro
cess.
There are two types of sharp
tailed snakes in quarry-like areas
of Lane County that are en
dangered, according to Sydney
Herbert, conservation chairer of
the Audubon Society. Several
species of birds are also in the
endangered category.
Further information may be ob

and present status of Lane County
with regard to the Land Conserva

Springfield metropolitan aref^,
Springfield, and non-coastal Lan
County subareas, and the August

Coburg, Cottage Grove, Creswell,
Junction City, Lowell, Oakridge
and Veneta areas.

Yugoslavia holds
graduate studies
An exotic European city is the
setting for the Inter-University
Centre of Postgraduate Studies,
based in Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia
this fall.
Top-notch scholars from
Europe’s best universities meet
with American scholars and or
ganize conferences and seminars
covering a wide range of issues.
The program provides intellectual
discussion on important
philosophical and political mat
ters.
The centre organizes seminars
during the September to June
academic year. The seminars are
three-four weeks long and con
centrate in the humanities and so
cial sciences.
Topics covered by the seminars
include International Organiza
tions: Present and Future,
Philosophy and Social Sciences,
and Theatre and Science: Subject
and Method of Theatrology. Con
ferences delve into issues such as
The Role of the Economist in
Government and Philosophical
Aspects of Quantum Theory.
Prof. Ben Johnson, who be
came the director of the University
program this year, described the
program as a student's chance
“fill his or head head with intere
ing ideas.”
The seminars are “incredibly
cheap,” he said, costing only
$18-20. Inexpensive accomoda
tions can also easily be found.
Johnson advises students to
register a month or two in ad
vance, but the program has no re
gistration deadlines nor stiff at
tendance requirements. How
ever, he suggests sending a re
sume describing the student’s in
terests and his or her field of
study.
