Wilkins clears up student coupon mystery
The confusion arising from
two student discount offers has
apparently been cleared up
A story in the July 8 Emerald
reported that a local chiroprac
tor, Vip Short, called the ASUO
to ask if a student discount card
he had advertised in had been
distributed Short said the
ASUO was a sponsor of the
Campus Cooperative Services
discount card
John Moore, ASUO Executive
Coordinator, began an inves
tigation to determine it the
New bus service connects
Eugene surf lovers and coast
Sand, surf and sun lovers (Yes, Virginia, the
sun sometimes shines upon Oregon) now have
easy transportation — via the Oregon Coast
Line Inc. — to enjoy hedonistic delights. The
line has inaugurated the first Eugene-to-coast
round trip bus service in nearly four years.
It's all right that not a single passenger
boarded the bus for the first two departures
from Eugene Thursday morning, says John
McCaffry, driver and corporation spokesman.
The buses will run on schedule regardless, he
adds.
The line’s main bus is a rebuilt 1964 school
bus The bus has room for 24 passengers and
12 bicycles, and also has the convenience of a
bathroom for those long hauls. A 14 passenger
air-conditioned Maxi-Van completes the line's
fleet.
The buses leave for Florence from 10th and
Olive Streets Thursday through Monday at 9
a m. They depart for Eugene from Honeyman
Park in Florence at 4:55 p.m. The bus also
stops at Old Town Pizza and Dunes Mall in
Florence, and in Mapleton, Walton, Noti and
Veneta.
Additional trips leave Eugene on Thursdays
and Saturdays at 7 a m. and 5 30 p.m. Addi
tional return trips leave Honeyman Park at 9
a m. and 7:30 p.m. Thursdays and Saturdays.
Tickets are $6.50 one-way and $10 round
trip between Eugene and Old Town Pizza in
Florence. Other stops are discounted or in
creased accordingly. Bicycles can be taken
along for an extra dollar each way. Twenty
percent discounts are available for seniors and
children.
Coastal tours from Florence begin Thursday
for $12.50. The tour price includes admission
to Sea Lion Caves.
Advance tickets are on sale at Atrium Shoe
Repair in Eugene (345-3011) and Haiti's Florist
in Florence (997-8685).
ASUO had agreed to distribute
the card.
Moore said he thought the
chiropractor was referring to
the Windfall coupon booklets
distributed at summer registra
tion and told Short that the
ASUO was not tied to the book
lets. Short did not advertise on
the Windfall booklet.
However, former ASUO Pres.
Rich Wilkins says the ASUO
agreed last fall to distribute the
Campus Cooperative Services
discount cards during fall regis
tration. The cards offer dis
counts at local businesses
Al Grossman, of Windfall Ad
vertising, says his coupon offer
should not be confused with
Campus Cooperative Services
of Lansing, Mich., the printer of
the discount cards. Grossman's
firm distributed coupon book
lets at summer registration
Campus Cooperative Ser
vices contacted the ASUO last
fall about distributing the dis
count cards, Wilkins says.
