The Pacific Northwest Re
source Center may get a new
lease on life through a Student
University Affairs Board resolu
tion suggesting use of extra funds
to keep the controversial law clin
ic open
Proposed by SUAB member Bill
Waterman, the resolution advises
the University Senate to recom
mend that funding for unfilled
1981 -82 faculty positions be used
to support the environmental law
clinic during the 1982-83 year
After voting on the resolution, the
senate will pass their recommen
dation to the University Assembly
for a final tally
Waterman and third-year law
student Holly Hummel empha
sized the necessity for student
support and explained that a
similar resolution was recently
approved by the law school
faculty
"For the most part, it's the only
practical experience they get,'
said Waterman, noting that 15 law
students receive work at the
center each term
Hummel said the law clinic is an
integral part of the environmental
law program and many students
attend the University law school
because of the practicum
"What happens when you take
off an arm?" she asked, in refer
ence to the possible closure
The $65,000 — the amount
suggested in the resolution —
would cover most of the an
ticipated loss of $70,000 in sup
port funds that would occur when
National Wildlife Federation of
fices moved off campus to Port
land at the demand of University
officials, Hummel said
"This money belongs to the law
school," Waterman said
In other business, SUAB
member Keith Johnson said that
course cluster changes will be
debated soon Cluster realign
ment will ensure depth of under
standing in specific disciplines
and prevent students from taking
a shopping cart approach to
classes, ' Johnson said
The board also filled three
vacant positions after brief ques
tioning Susan Walters, a com
munity services and public affairs
senior, was appointed to a vacant
position, as was Lori Kleinsmith. a
freshman in English
Board member Paul Rudinsky,
a sophomore, was shifted from
the ' undeclared' position to the
open "political science" position
SUAB chairer Gale Graham al
so announced that board
members Sandra Oi and Kevin
Conover have resigned
IFC may cut funds
for advising groups
A range of "academic enrich
ment programs may lose student
funding if the Incidental Fee
Committee continues to uphold
an ASUO policy as it did Wednes
day
According to the ASUO policy,
personal academic advance
ment. academic development
and planning and academic com
petition are functions of the u
mversity institution and should not
be funded with incidental fees
In a 3-2 vote, the IFC defeated
an International Studies Associa
tion funding goal of peer advising
for International Studies majors
and interested students Although
the funding goal was not ap
proved, the group still can pursue
the goal on its own time and re
sources, said IFC member David
Gibson
The committee later un
animously disapproved an Amer
ican Chemical Society goal of
supplying information about ca
reers and job placement
ISA program manager Deb
Hauger said her organization is
needed because the international
studies department does not sup
ply enough information and as
sistance in career placement and
planning
But Gibson said students
should not have to pay for the
advising of international studies
students
Other goals of the ISA and ACS
chapter were approved
In other business, the IFC ap
proved most of the goals of the
Cuba Study Group, Tabard Inn,
Pot & Quill and University's Mor
tar Board chapter

Classified staff air cares
By ANN PORTAL
V* MW BfiywTwWI
More than 200 classified employees attended a
convocation with University Pres Paul Olum
Thursday expressing concern about issues
ranging from campus safety to smashed surplus
sinks.
' it's clear from the attendance that we ought to
have done this before,” Olum said as he ob
served the crowd in Room 180 PLC, and he
promised to meet with the support staff more
frequently m the future
The convocation was Olum s first with clas
sified staff since he became University president
in 1980
Oium began the meeting by reviewing budget
cuts and telling classified staff he has no intention
of targeting their positions for cuts.
I want to assure you that in the cuts for next
year, that was not the case The support services
in this University have been just barely enough all
along '
Although 46 faculty positions were cut for next
year, only six classified staff positions were
eliminated he said
A number of staff expressed concern about
security problems tor those working at night
CHum said one woman sent a tetter saying after
hours workers are subjected to a tot of harass
merit.''
Staff members suggested better lighting in
parking lots and rearranged hours to temporarily
end the workday white it’s still light outside
Women who are frightened about walking to
their cars can phone campus security at
686-5444 for an escort, said Oakley Glenn, public
safety director
Another safety problem is the increasing
number erf bicycle accidents, one staff member
said There have been 19 collisions involving
bicycles and pedestrians reported in the past two
weeks. Glenn said
The public safety office used a radar to clock
bikes at 17 m.p.h. uphill and 27 m.p h. downhill
on 15th Avenue, he said, adding that a campus
planning subcommittee currently is working on
the problem
Another employee asked whether surplus ma
terials could not be sold to help the University
financially He said he was instructed to demolish
surplus sinks that could have been sold
Tell supervisors. Olum suggested
