Plan amends Emerald Canal report
By Dave Brown
CM th* EmtraM
The Emerald Canal feasibility
report was amended Tuesday
evening requiring future plan
ners to pay close attention to
the proposed project's impact
on the West University Neigh
borhood
The amendment was u
nanimously approved along
with several other amendments
intended to polish the final
report during the last meeting of
the Emerald Canal Feasibility
Task Force
The proposal would have the
water-way run from the existing
Amazon Creek at East 17th
Avenue and Pearl Street to the
Millrace, East 11th Avenue and
Ferry Street It could provide
recreational facilities, hydro
electric generation and flood
control
Jerome Diethelm, a University
architecture professor and task
force consultant, proposed the
amendment in response to
questions raised by residents of
the West University Neighbor
hood at a recent public hearing
That hearing was a debut of the
task force's prospectus on dig
ging a canal along the down
town side of the West University
Neighborhood
Some of the points brought
up at the meeting and included
in the report as amendments
are:
• Whether the project would
“overwhelm" the neighbor
hood
Whether inflated property
values along tne canal route
would push out low income
people, students and the elder
ly
• And whether the neighbor
hood would have "adequate
opportunity to participate in the
planning of the project. "
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

and how they are compensaxmg
for the setbacks, Derringer said.
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
