" A representative of the West Universtiy Neighbors organiza tion, Adrienne Lannom, told the task force she was concerned about neighborhood invol vement in future planning of the project. She added that the summary of the report failed to mention the dangers and prob lems cited in the body of the report. Mark Linburg, a city councilor and a task force member, moved that the report's sum mary of findings and recom menaations De amenaea 10 state some of those problems "I think we need one sen tence at the end of each section (in the summary) on tourism — on flood control — on hydro electric,” he said "Most people are not going to read the report, they are going to read the last two pages,” he said. He added that the sum mary implies that the canal project would restore the downtown mall area Task force members said they were not willing to take the risk of making that type of statement The report also recommends that a “coordinating body” be established to look into specific design, construction and fund ing plans for the canal Consistent lobbying essential for students By Richard Burr Of the Emerald The Oregon Student Lobby must present a united policy on the state budget during the up coming legislative session, said Robin Derringer, OSL legislative assistant, Tuesday The legislature will think student lobbying is unorganized if a consistent policy is not adopted, Derringer said at the ASUO/OSL legislative planning session Student representa tives from the state’s four-year colleges make UbL policy deci sions Students must decide where they stand on the issues so the legislators will pay attention to their views, Derringer said One policy area where the OSL must be consistent is on revenue bills, Derringer said Even Gov Vic Atiyeh's budget plan, based upon the most op timistic projections, requires about $585 million in revenue to be raised, said OSL director Bob Watrus Students must become ac tively involved in revenue deci sions if they want to be heard, Derringer said "Otherwise, they'll just look at you as another hand in the till,” she said Greater coordination will be the key in effective lobbying in such an area and other legisla tive matters, Watrus said The Legislative Council, which coordinates the legislative ac tivities of ASUO, Student University Affairs Board and Student University Relations Council, is a good start in that direction, he said Another way to coordinate student lobbying is to make lists of where interested student lob byists are from, Watrus said Such a list could help the ASUO determine the appropriate legislator a student should write to during a letter-writing cam paign, he said Students should keep other University statistics to enhance the picture of erosion that has resulted from legislative budget cuts. Derringer said The lobbyists should deter mine how its surrounding envir onment affects student expen ditures, she said Lobbyists should discover where students are making cuts in their budgets Video Cinema Center T I N E M A II frataata MM0«« sum unco (IMK Ml I mu *«• Stalling ftoberl Byan c*iMm* tin nan i« Starting Onion Wells Joseph Conan Showing 10 a m.

Student lobbyists might sur vey community attitudes toward the University, she added. Get ting parents and alumni to talk to their district representatives is also important, Derringer said With these sorts of University statistics, students can make their points more effectively, she said Personal horror stories are also effective, Watrus said. Legislators respond better to students if students relate their personal experiences instead of spewing data, he said. "I've seen it work so many times,' Watrus said. "Anybody can make a differ ence, added Charlene Curry, University director of govern mental relations. ‘ I've seen in stances where say an old lady in tennis shoes turned a decision around with personal tes timony " A compilation of horror stor ies and information lists help student lobbyists grab the ap propriate students on short no tice to testify. Derringer added Lobbyists should also inform OSL when University students are in Salem to see legislators, Watrus said Legislators view OSL as the clearinghouse for student lobbying, and if the lob bying organization cannot ex plain why some student is in town, the student lobbying front appears unorganized, he said Prior notice helps OSL coor dinate visits and avoid confu sion, Derringer said "When you start screwing around with a legislator's time, you can get in trouble real fast," added Cynthia Bounds, acting ASUO director of state affairs Sell Service Typing IBM seiectric carbon cartridge Kinko s * Copies 860 E 13th 344-7894
