Res/d -tt'SSSSS Residential, clinical and industrial interests collided Tuesday as special interest group repre sentatives gave their views concerning West University refinement proposals Refinement changes proposed by the Eugene Planning Commission would curtail the development of new clinics in the West University area unless developers first obtain a conditional use permit The affected area lies west of the campus and south of 13th Avenue Clinic representatives said doctors who might establish practices in this area, because of its proximity to Sacred Heart Hospital, would be discouraged from doing so Putting a c.imp on growth would be "ridiculous," developer Tom Slocum said Not only is Sacred Heart Hospital a large employer locally, but because of its specialized patient care, it also takes on regional significance, he said "Don't outlaw the clinics, because you might need them someday " However, ASUO president Rich Wilkins said if the refinement plan is not passed, many of tne 6,500 students livrng in the West University area would be deprived of low-cost housing when the medical groups move in "Students will have to move farther from campus, thus incurring higher transportation costs," Wilkins said Also, because the area is located near downtown, a decrease in residential population could economically depress downtown busi nesses, he said Another refinement plan proposal discour ages the use of automobiles and encourages the use of bicycles, mass transit, walking, and other forms of alternative transportation Because of the number of bike-auto ac cidents in the area — especially between 6th and 19th Avenues on Pearl Street — the proposal is especially important, said Michael P'othe, Student University Affairs Board vice chairer "We want to make the bike routes from the campus to the West University area more acces sible to students," he said FLOWER SPECIALS Thursday thru Tuesday “HAPPY BUNCHES" $1.99 “6 PAK” of ROSES $3.99 Cuqene s ftewe/i ft erne “The University Florist” 610 E. 13th at Patterson I Minority group plans meetings Asian American issues will be addressed at a state-wide Asian American Youth Conference Friday and Saturday in the EMU Forum Room Friday's schedule, which begins at 8:30 a m , includes a series of films, video tapes and slide shows Among them will be "Memoirs 1941-45," a slide presentation on Japanese in ternment camps in the United States during World War II to be shown at 4 p m Keynote speaker Warren Fu runtani. an activist and Asian Pacific American talk-show host, will speak Saturday at 9:30 a m on the history of the Asian American movement A concert by a Los Angeles based touring musical group.
