Says Watt will be replaced
Speaker blasts Watt, Reagan
By Tony Hazarian
Of the Emerald
The dismissal of James Watt, Secretary of
Interior, would not necessarily be a blessing for
the nation's conservationists, because his re
placement may be "someone slicker," says Andy
Kerr of the Oregon Natural Resource Council
Thursday night at the EMU
"I don't think Watt's going to be here in a
year, but the real question is who will replace
him," Kerr said
"Will it be someone slicker?" he said
Calling the Reagan Administration “the
worst environmental administration in many
decades," Kerr said he can t imagine why there’s
such distaste directed at Watt and little at Pres
Reagan
"Watt is doing what Reagan wants," Kerr
said. "He’s an agent for Ronald Reagan "
Kerr's talk concluded the two-day Wilderness
Symposium at the EMU sponsored by the Survival
Center and the Outdoor Program, which included
multi-media slide shows and discussions ex
amining the use of the Oregon wilderness
While Reagan was achieving success with his
economic legislation, "he wasn't getting his
environmental program passed,” Kerr said His
poor conservation record wasn't enhanced when
he recently became the first president to veto a
wilderness bill when he turned down a bill in
Florida, Kerr added
The recent Oregon Wilderness Bill that failed
to pass in the lame duck session of Congress will
be reintroduced, Kerr said. The bill required a
two-thirds vote in the lame duck session rather
than a simple majority that is required in a regular
session The bill fell only 12 votes short, offering
hope for its passage in the future, he added
The Republican party has changed its ways
from the days when it was "once the party of
conservation” under Theodore Roosevelt, Kerr
said, yet the current administration is not the first
to put the nation's wildlands in danger
Ronald Reagan is not the opposite of Jimmy
Carter,” Kerr said. "These guys are simply in an
administration that doesn't give us (conservation
groups) a break ”
"It was the Carter administration who wanted
to put the MX on little railroad tracks and run it
around (the Western states) ”
Public
busses
new mall
Judging by Saturday's bus
ridership, much of Eugene
was curious to try out the
newly remodeled Lane Transit
District mall at 10th Avenue
and Willamette Street
The day of free bus fares
attracted 12,000 riders — an
increase of 88 percent over a
normal Saturday, says Ed Ber
geron, LTD marketing
specialist Some of the 18
buses on the road were
packed to capacity while
others, including those serv
ing the Valley River shopping
center, got heavy use
Bergeron says public re
sponse has been positive to
the new transit station and
revised route system, which
uses a colored symbol to des
ignate each area of service
For instance, all buses go
ing to the University will leave
from the brown duck station,
while all River Road/Santa
Clara-bound buses leave from
the purple rhododendron sta
tion

Saturday's opening of the new LTD downtown transit statior,
featured a day of free bus fares — and a ridership increase of 88
percent.
installing lights and protective
shelters, widening sidewalks
and landscaping the entire
area
"I think people will be a lot
happier about riding the bus
now that the transit station has
a better atmosphere, ' says
Bergeron The old station was
plagued with crowded
sidewalks on 10th Avenue and
the more complex route mark
ing system
Bergeron says riders on Sat
urday seemed well-prepared
for the route changes and
colored symbols And the bus
drivers seemed to pick up on
the public's enthusiasm
A new customer service
center is scheduled to open
March 1 in a building on the
southwest corner of 10th
Avenue and Willamette Street
next to the McDonald Theatre
Until then, fare tokens and
schedule information are
available in a back room facing
10th Avenue in that building
Bus fares will increase from
50 to 55 cents next month
because of increased operat
ing costs The increase, which
has nothing to do with the
temodeling project, has no ef
feet on the 45-cent single to
ken price or the $18 monthly
fast passes
