Lawmakers move toward
ratifying D.C. amendment
SALEM — The House took
one small step Tuesday toward
ratifying an amendment to the
federal constitution giving the
District of Columbia one repre
sentive and two senators in
Congress.
The Oregon Senate approved
the plan in Februrary, but the
state House repeatedly has
balked. As the legislation
emerged from House commit
tee, it called for an advisory vote
of the people as to the wisdom
of supporting congressional
representation for the nation’s
capitol.
Tuesday, though, the full
body narrowly voted to change
that. The House committed itself
to voting on the actual plan
today.
Supporters of that alteration
argued that the plan to send the
issue to the people represented
an effort by the House to duck a
sticky issue.
“Sending this out for a vote of
the people is a simple way to
avoid the responsibilty of mak
ing a relatively simple decision
— whether or not people in Wa
shington D C. should be repre
sented in the federal legisla
ture,” said Rep. Tom Mason,
D-Portland.
“If you don't think the people
in D C. should be represented,
say so. But don’t send this out to
a vote of the people. That’s not
KWAX to air budget talks
The proposed state higher
education budget will be the
subject of a panel discussion
broadcasted live by the Univer
sity's radio station, KWAX, at
7:30 p.m. today.
Panelists are expected to
review the meaning of proposed
state general fund budget cuts
for the University and the
Eugene area, according to sta
tion public affairs director Mar
cia Guckes.
Listeners will be given the
opportunity to call in their ques
tions and comments during the
broadcast scheduled to last
about one hour. Guckes said
the call-in telephone number
will be announced at the begin
ning of the broadcast.
Panelists will include Richard
Hill, University provost and
academic affairs vice president;
Katherine Eaton, government
research and service bureau
head librarian, representing
University faculty members;
Rebecca Bragg, University li
brary administrative assistant
and Oregon Public Employes
Union local president, repre
senting staff members; and Rich
Wilkins, ASUO student body
president. Guckes will moderate
the discussion.
National Public Radio affiliate
KWAX broadcasts on 91.1 FM.
what we re here for.”
As with any federal amend
ment, the district voting rights
measure has to be approved by
three-fourths of the states,
meaning that 29 more will have
to ratify it before the 1985 dead
line.
While residents of Washing
ton D C. may be the last Amer
icans to get federal representa
tion, Oregonians might be the
first to experience a new kind of
cigarette. Under a bill approved
by the Senate Monday, any
cigarette or small cigar sold in
Oregon would have to self-ex
tinguish.
Currently, cigarettes keep on
burning even when they're not
being smoked, some for as long
as 20 minutes. And Sen. Charles
Hanlon, D-Cornelius, told the
body that slow-burning smokes
have a tendency to be deadly.
"Cigarettes are the leading
cause of home fires that result in
death,” Hanlon said.
