a un*aucS*°ra9e space can be
,qUe’ moving experience
By MARK PYNES
What happens when you’ve
moved all your worldly poses
sions from Wartburg, Iowa and
discover you can't fit all five
rooms full into that tiny studio
apartment?
You can either store it, move it
back, or sell it
If you're unwilling to part for
ever with those antique wooden
cigarstore Indians, your great
grandmother's fur-lined, ele
phant umbrella stand, your pre
Civil War cummerbund collec
tion or those other irreplaceable
items, then storing it or moving it
back is the answer
It's often cheaper to store ex
tra things in a friend's garage
but if that isn't possible there
are over two dozen storage
warehouses in the Eugene
Springfield area
At one mini-warehouse, Sav
N-Lock, the rates range from
$16 50 per month for a 4x10
room to $53 for a 10x22
Judi Jackson, a Sav-N-Lock
employee, says the 4x10's are
full during the summer because
a lot of university students store
their things when they go home
During the winter the ware
houses are used by people who
have an overflow of things from
their garages
People rent storage space for
as little as one week and some
have been at Sav-N-Lock since
they opened over seven years
ago, Jackson says
The warehouses are for
"strictly storage" adds Jack
son They don’t allow people to
work on cars or furniture in the
storage areas
If you'd rather send those
superfluous items back home —
let the folks worry about storage
— then your only problem is
shipping
One moving company. Allied
Van Lines, charges on a weight
and miles scale to send items
interstate, and the majority of
their business is relocation of
whole families There is a
500-pound minimum weight
limit and according to an em
ployee it takes between 4,000 to
5,000 pounds of goods before it
is worthwhile
In Oregon they charge an
hourly fee of $62 45, which
provides two men and a van with
a minimum half hour require
ment, if the move is beyond a
30-mile radius the charge is
again based on weight and
miles. For example, to send 500
pounds of goods to Medford
would cost about $186
An alternative is to move
those things yourself If you
don't have your own truck or
trailer you can rent them from
several rental companies that
allow both one-way and two
way rentals
U-Haul, a national moving
company, rents seven to 24-foot
trucks and 4x6 and 6x12
trailers Their rates vary ac
cording to the number of trucks
and trailers they have on hand
and according to the destina
tion (mileage and time) To rent
a 4x6 foot trailer one-way to
Chicago would cost $166 and a
seven foot truck would cost
$853 For local use truck rates
are between $35-45 per day and
20 cents a mile
The beginning of the school
year is the busiest time accord

Cheap transportation available
By HANK TROTTER
In Eugene, inexpensive
means of transportation are as
easy to find as a bowl of granola
University cheapskates
should have no trouble at all
getting from one place to the
other with very little cash down
Hitchhiking, ridesharing, city
buses, used bicycles and used
autos are as widely employed
and accepted in track town" as
is running
Thumbing a ride in Eugene is
legal and acceptable under an
Oregon law which specifies that
the hitchhiker must stand off the
public roadway on a sidewalk or
gravel shoulder However,
Eugene's disagreeable winter
clime may force many hitch
hikers off the streets and high
ways and into the dry comfort of
a cheap used car
r
There are over 60 used car
dealerships in the Eugene
Springfield area and numerous
independently advertised
"wrecks" for sale Clunkers
costing $200 to $300 are as
common as the gas-guzzling,
aging cars being unloaded by
their owners
For those who already have a
gas-guzzling monster and can t
afford to drive it to school or
work, the Eugene City
Rideshare Program has a solu
tion Rideshare matches riders
by area and work time much like
a computer dating service
matches two lonely hearts
through musical tastes and
movie preferences
Prospective ride sharers are
introduced and, if they find each
other compatible, proceed to
share rides. The service is
provided free of charge For
