ASUO’s connection with coupons probed ■ Wr By Steve Hooks 04th« EmaraM A chiropractor who says he paid to advertise in a coupon pamphlet distributed at regis tration has raised questions on the ASUO’s connection with the pamphlet. ASUO Executive Coordinator John Moore is investigating a claim by Eugene chiropractor Vip Short that his clinic entered into an agreement with the ASUO to have an advertisement in the coupon pamphlet and to have those books distributed During registration, some summer students picked up the “Windfall Coupon Book1’ which contains coupons for discounts at several Eugene businesses Short's clinic, the Avalon Chiro practic Health Center, is not listed in the pamphlet Moore says he wants to know Nesbit wins Bower man scholarship Victoria Nesbit, a University senior from Troutdale, is the first recipient of a scholarship from the Bill Bowerman Fund. The new fund was created through the University Founda tion in December by the Scharpf family, in honor of the Universi ty’s well-known track coach of the 1950s and 1960s. At Bowerman’s request, the scholarship is to be named each year after great Oregon profes sors of the past This year’s scholarship honors Charles Duncan, professor emeritus of journalism, who is former dean of the journalism school, as well as former dean of faculties. Under terms of the gift, the fund's monies are to be used for purchase of library books and materials, for support of the music school and its nationally acclaimed Bach Festival, and for scholarships for outstanding senior students. ‘‘Victoria Nesbit is extremely well qualified to receive this scholarship,” says Russell Pic ton, director of the University Foundation. The scholarship provides full support for tuition, living ex penses and books. The Scharpfs created the fund to recognize Bowerman’s contributions to the University, to the sports of track and jog ging, to business in Oregon, and to humanity. The family encourages others to con tribute to the fund through the Foundation. CASH For Textbooks Mon.-Fri. Smith Family Bookstore 768 E. 13th 1 Bl From Campus Ph 34S-1651 ODE staffers: annle sez see the Personals today whether someone at the ASUO agreed to distribute the coupons Short called the ASUO and "wondered if it had ever been distributed,” Moore says, and that touched off his concern. The Avalon Chiropractic Health Center has a contract which lists the ASUO as a spon sor of the coupons, says Arthur Ticknor of the Health Center. The contract is with Campus Cooperative Services of Lans ing, Mich. Windfall Advertising, the sponsor named on the coupon pamphlet, lists a Eugene ad dress and phone. However, after repeated attempts no one at Windfall Advertising could be reached by phone for comment. One Windfall Coupon Book has two sheets which feature advertisers such as the Little Ocean pet shop, Godfather's Pizza, Roach Clip City and the High St. Coffee Gallery. The Health Center was not listed on the sheets. Moore says there may be another coupon sheet with different advertisers. The ASUO also was not men tioned on the coupon sheet. "I am fairly certain that the ASUO did not agree to distribute these,” Moore says of the coupon sheets. But he adds that one question must be ans wered: “If Windfall put (the ASUO) on the contract, did they do so with the permission of an authorized agent of the ASUO?" Moore also wonders if an authorized ASUO agent was paid to distribute the sheets But Roach Clip City and the Little Ocean pet shop say the ASUO was never mentioned on their contracts with Windfall Advertising “Absolutely no mention was made associating Windfall with any student organization," says Paul Moynihan, the pet shop's co-owner.
