Tenant group loses
IFC rejects goals, denies funding
Funding for the Amazon Community Tenants
by the Incidental Fee Committee has been put on
hold until the tenant organization can gain ap
proval of at least one goal All seven of its goals
were rejected by the IFC Friday
ACT, formed in 1972, represents the 246
student families living in the Amazon housing
project on Patterson Street
"Why should incidential tees go to what
amounts to a tenants' union?" asked IFC chairer
Karsten Rasmussen as the hearing began
The project meets the "physical needs of 300
students." answered Dianne Ritterband-Mason,
an Amazon resident representing ACT Tenant
organizations have been formed in the
Westmoreland and East Campus housing
projects because of ACT'S example and in
fluence, she added
Judith Barker, another ACT representative,
argued ACT was formed because University
Housing Office personnel "couldn't make in
formed decisions" about the needs of the hous
ing project and its residents
The University administration agreed the
housing project needed its own "co-governance
system," she added
The project serves a relatively small number of
students, most of whom are doing graduate work,
IFC member Xavier Romano charged
Willy Hart, housing department director of
facilities maintenance, responded by noting that
ACT has been working to allow more undergrads
and single students into the housing.
Rasmussen asked what funding alternatives
were available to ACT.
It would have to get money from the Housing
Office, which "wouldn’t allow it (ACT) to print up
anti-housing department literature," or perform
certain other functions, Barker said
Rasmussen indicated there could be a motion
to reconsider the committee s actions at a future
meeting
In other business, the IFC approved the goals
of the Survival Center and Students for a Nuclear
Free future
The Survival Center's files are open to students
who don't agree with the center's actions or
positions, said Steve Kramer, the center's direc
tor
SNUFF only provides information on the issue
of nuclear power and automic weapons, and
presents both sides of the issue despite its name
and the position of most of its members, repre
sentative Julie St Clair said
The functions of the Survival Center and
SNUFF do not duplicate each other, she said
Elevator fund drive renewed
Museum patrons get a lift
Many people enjoy viewing
works of art, but not everyone has
access to them That may change
soon at the University Museum of
Art where an elevator is planned
td lift the elderly and handicapped
to n«w heights
The Museum of Art Council, in
cooperation with the University
Foundation, has renewed a fund
raising effort which would help
pay for the construction of an
alt-purpose elevator to transport
patrons, staff and frieght to the
museum's various exhibition,
preparation and storage areas
Headed by Alfred Herman of
Portland the fund-raising cam
oatan is seekina $29,700 Other
committee members are Jordan
Schnitzer and Dick turner, both of
Portland, and Kyung Sook Cho
Gregor of Eugene
Already, the foundation has
received $80,000 in contributions
from private sources and various
other groups including the Oegon
Community and Autzen founda
tions, says Hope Pressman, di
rector of special programs for the
foundation Another $20,300 has
been pledged toward the an
ticipated total project cost of
$130,000
The renewed fund-raising drive
is necessary, Pressman says,
because the $50,000 originally
earmarked by the state to provide
handicapped access to the five
story building has been "frozen"
indefinitely as a result of the
state’s budgetary problems
Construction is scheduled to
begin shortly after the first of the
year The project is targeted for
completion by the summer of
1982
The museum needs an elevator
"to allow handicapped and elder
ly people to see the museum and
to assist the museum staff in
moving art from the basement
storage area to exhibit areas"
says Herman.
"There’s the ever-present
danger of possibly damaging an
exhibit on the stairs as well as staff
members hurting themselves
(while moving heavy art pieces),"
he added
The art museum, built in 1933,
is well known throughtout the
West as a major cultural center
Fully accredited by the American
Association of Museums, it at
tracts more than 90,000 visitors
each year
