EMU sets room use rules
By DANE CLAUSSEN
Of tw EimraM
The Erb Memorial Union
Board unanimously approved a
space allocation policy,
proposed by summer chairer
Bob Needham, who also was
elected unanimously as the
1981-82 chairer
After four amendments were
passed and several dthers dis
cussed, the board finally
approved the four-page policy
at Its Tuesday meeting
The room-use policy was the
result of summer discussions
with EMU occupants and
“substantial input from the
ASUO and Karsten Rasmussen
of the IFC," Needham said
The board also approved
policies on the movement of
telephones and the use of con
ference rooms within the EMU
and a temporary grant of emer
gency powers to allow
Needham to relocate several
student organizations within the
EMU
Needham said the relocations
must be completed by the end of
next week. The moves were
scheduled last spring but were
not carried out.
Policies similar to the space
allocation policy have been dis
cussed for 20 years with no
substantive action, said EMU
director Adell MacMillan, who
complimented the board on its
organization and thoroughness
Despite anticipated objec
tions from board member
Karsten Rasmussen, who also is
the IFC chairer, Needham’s
prediction of few objections to
the policy came true
Rasmussen was in favor of
most of the policy and called for
its adoption, despite the con
tention that one policy clause
may lead to the IFC being
moved from Suite Four due to a
conflict of interest The IFC
shares the suite with the ASUO
Executive and the EMU Boards
The adopted policy consists
of several sections that outline
procedures for allocating
space
Two goals of the new policy
are to ensure that moves are
carried out under the written
criteria and to force board
members to review each or
ganization's space request
every year, Needham said
He said he’s concerned that
some groups seem to have
space almost indefinitely.
A final effect of the policy is to
ensure that the board and its
house committee will keep
meeting minutes so groups
receiving space allocation
rejections may read the reasons
for denial
Further policy changes
probably will result from the
house committee’s considera
tion of criteria used to judge an
organization's usefulness to the
university community
Under the new telephone
policy, organizations must
receive EMU Board approval
before moving a phone, unless
the group is willing to pay the
expense. Needham pointed out
that moving a phone costs $100.
Bob Schutz, EMU business
manager, also gave a revenue
report, which showed an overall
improvement over last year
Artists needed for big project
Artists with proven talent in
"large-scale" projects are invit
ed to submit resumes and slides
of past work to be commis
sioned to design three art
pieces for the Eugene Confer
ence Center, under construc
tion downtown between Sixth
and Seventh streets
The conference center — a
low, contemporary structure
located adjacent to the 12-story
Hilton Hotel and opposite the
new performing arts center —
has set aside $40,000 to pay for
the three art works
Works will be located in the
following areas in the center:
The main entry along the west
wall, exterior and interior —
length 30 feet, height, 10 feet;
The center’s open bay,
between the Hilton Hotel bar
and the center’s lounge —
length 30 feet, height 23 feet
with a five-toot horizontal beam
crossing the wall 11 feet up;
The east wall — length, 24
feet, height 10 feet A wood pic
ture rail will be built eight feet off
the ground, with an eight-inch
wood base
The center doesn't specify
themes but urges artists to con
sider the center's color, tex
tures of interior finishes and
materials and the large space
available to assure the works
can "carry'' well
A selection committee will
choose three artists per area —
for a total of nine — to prepare
design proposals Each of the
nine artists will receive $500 for
the completed design proposal.
However, no artist will be
selected for more than one
area
The first week in March has
been set as the completion and
installation date for the art work.
The three selected artists (one
for each area) will receive 50
percent of their payment upon
commission and 50 percent
upon completion of the work
Artists should include travel
costs, shipping and packing in
the work's total cost.
Qualified artists may submit a
maximum of 10 slides and a
resume by Oct. 15 to Robert
Coleman, Eugene Conference
Center, 140 W 8th Avenue,
Suite 200, Eugene, Or., 97401
University grad found dead
Although reports Wednesday
identified Patricia Ann Steubing
— the woman found dead
Sunday in a Eugene motel room
— as a University student, police
said Thursday that even though
Steubing previously was en
rolled at the University, she had
only recently returned to
Eugene
The University Registrar's Of
fice confirmed that the
32-year-old woman graduated
from the University in August,
1980, with a bachelor of science
degree in journalism
Results from an autopsy con
ducted Monday will be unav
ailable for two to three weeks,
but the pathologist's report in
dicates Steubing died from a
drug overdose, says Sgt
Thomas Cline of the Eugene
Police Department
There was no evidence of foul
play in Steubing's room at the
Continental Motel, 390 E
Broadway, he says, and an
empty, non-prescription drug
container was found in the
motel room.
The EPD considers the death
a suicide, Cline says, adding
that Steubing had "some prob
