Oregana arrives three months late By JIM ALLEN Of the Emerald The 1978 version of the University’s yearbook, the Oregana, is finally off the presses, and editor Rick Taylor says he's happy with the finished product. “I think this yearbook is fabulous,” says Taylor. “Compared with the 1977 edition it’s a superb yearbook and I’ve considered entering it in a national com petition.” The green-dad annuals, which are three months late, arrived in Eugene only this week, and are now on sale in the main lobby of the EMU. Each annual costs $11 not including an optional 50-cent, plastic dust cover. Taylor or dered 1,500 Oreganas, of which about 1,200 are prepaid orders, but he expects the remaining 300 editions to be sold out soon. Taylor points to the 78 Oregana with pride, particularly the sports pages. “The sports section is a real jewel,” he comments, but also concedes some major defects in the book. “Coverage of housing was a big prob lem,” admits Taylor, “partly because of the general lack of student interest, and also because many of the pictures were shot in late spring, when students were getting ready to go back home. Some of the dormitories with 60 or 70 students in them only had a dozen or so people show up for the pictures.” Taylor also cited the lack of coopera tion from fraternities and soroities in con tributing to the yearbook. “In many cases, the houses wouldn’t fill in the names of those in the pictures, while some were unavailable for pic tures at all,” says Taylor. Of the 25 Greek houses, 11 had no identification for the members, while six had no members at all. The problem was similar for the dormitory section, with eight dorms not represented at all. Fi nally, only 237 of last year’s 3,000 graduating seniors took the time to sit for portrait photographs. Many of the Oregana’s problems are financial in nature. Though each book costs $11, Taylor says that his group, which receives no Incidental Fee Com mittee funding, loses at least one dollar on each yearbook. “For this yearbook we tried to get some advertising salesmen, but things just didn’t get done,” says Taylor. “Un fortunately, we still haven’t paid for the 1977 yearbook, but hope to pay for both that one and the 1978 book this year." “However, the publishing company (Josten American of Visalia, California) has been good to us, and they shouldn’t have sent us this issue until the 1977 issue is paid up.” Taylor can’t understand the lack of in terest on the part of students, and he's formulated a questionnaire and distri buted it to students during registration. He hopes to get some clues to the lack of interest and laments the fact “that so many students may someday be sorry they didn’t buy an annual.” IFC funds Survival Center newsletter By JIM ALLEN Of the Emerald In a short meeting Thursday night, the Incidental Fee Committee spent additional funds from its shrinking Unallocated Re serve fund. The Survival Center received $272.75 toward publication of a monthly newsletter, which explains current ecological issues and problems to a readership of about 300 people. That figure represents half the total cost of the newsletter, with the difference to be made up by the Survivial Center in a series of fundraising events. The motion passed unanimously. The committee at first questioned the funding, but concluded that last year’s IFC had overlooked the newsletter in preparing the current Survival Center budget. The Model United Nations Club also re ceived additional funding, by unanimous vote, toward its regional conference to be held in Los Angeles. Most of the money, $50, will go toward publicity for the event, while an extra $20 was set aside to cover increased delegate costs at the convention. In other action, the committee voted to approve a line-item transfer of $530 toward travel expenses for the English Graduate Student Advisory Council. The funds had been raised independently by the group, but the funds could not be used for travel until a new line item could be created by the IFC. The committee wasted little time be fore passing the motion, again unan mously. Finally, the committee heard Ron Haselhurst of the Teacher Education Doc toral Student Association for the first time. Haselhurst’s group, which works within the teacher education department, lost some of the funding for its student-run newsletter when the department suffered budget prob lems. “We've had a lot of problems getting the paper going, and we’ve received only mixed cooperation from the faculty. When the budget was cut, we were the easiest thing to drop." Haselhurst then requested $220 to cover the costs of the newsletter and the spon sorship of some guest speakers. Though the committee was required by regulation to hear Hasselhurst again before making any funding decisions, IFC member Scott Bassett commented that ' these stu dent organizations are. often overlooked, and should be given the chance to get or ganized.” CAMPUS CHRISTIAN MINISTRY 1 - THE GOSPEL OF MARK—George Matanic, Ray Rideau & Rosalie McMenamin.
