HMB whllr supplies last' BT reg *59 " ONLY *30 l imited to stock on hand By Frank Shaw Of the Emerald A initiative petition restricting hiring public employees and allowing private companies to contract on public sector jobs is drawing fire from state labor unions. The initiative, which supporters hope will appear on the 1984 ballot, would amend the state constitution to "limit those public employees to those absolutely necessary and thereby protect and advance the enterprise resources within the state ” Doug Crooks, communications director for the Oregon Public Employees Union, says the proposal should be renamed the "government for sale" petition because it would put state services up for sale. "What you end up with is a huge pork barrel,” he says. The proposed amendment would increase government graft because the legislators would make the decisions on which jobs are contracted out, Crooks says. The petition’s proponents, including As sociated Oregon Industries and the Portland Correction The field of candidates for the post of vice president for administration and finance has not been narrowed to seven finalists as was reported in Wednesday’s Emerald, University Pres. Paul Olum said Wednes day. Olum said at his press conference Tues day that the search committee was to the point where they were choosing "semi-fin alists.” The statement was inadvertently reported as “seven finalists." The field of semi-finalists for the position vacated by Ray Hawk won't be narrowed until the middle of March, Olum said. Chamber of Commerce, say private companies could perform state services more efficiently than government agencies. "If the services can be done more cost ef fectively by private enterprise, they should be,” Crooks says. By computing cost effectiveness over a long period, the likelihood of companies dropping formerly public sector-operated jobs after a cou ple of years would be reduced, and state start-up costs would be avoided, Crooks says. If the petition gathers enough signatures to go on the 1984 ballot and pass, it will be phased into effect in 1985. Crooks says as many as four out of five jobs of non-elected officials could be contracted out if the bill passes Donna Glathar, a University Library staff member and assistant district OPEU director, says the petition would affect the University faculty and staff and employees around the state While she admits there are places at the University where it might be cost effective to have services contracted out, Glather says the petition is not the answer. Alan Brom, a University custodian and OPEU member, sys the petition ultimately would raise the taxpayer's burden and increase service dis ruptions to students. Jack Kalinowski, a lobbyist for AOI, a group supporting the petition, says “that's a typical reaction of someone who has not read the peti tion.” He says the petition would not affect higher education The petition would require the government to identify all expenditures and the Legislature to grant permission before they could hire new employees, Kalinowski says “The important thing to remember is that it (the petition) doesn't require anything to be contracted out — except construction," Kalin owski says. State employees' fears that they will be laid off are groundless, he says. "Productivity will be greater than ever before." "Professional language education with a world wide view" .

The or dinance also was upheld recently by the 7th U S. Circuit Court of Appeals The ordinance in the northern Chicago suburb of 26,000 peo ple took effect Feb. 1, 1982, and was the nation's first ban on citizen possession of handguns. The ordinance has been challenged by some Morton Grove residents who contended it infringed on the rights of in dividuals to "keep and bear arms" as guaranteed in the 1970 Illinois constitution Oregon doily _ - emerald The Oregon Daily Emerald t» published Monday through Friday •icapt during eiam wees and vacations by the Oregon Daily Emerald Publishing Co at the University ot Oregon Eugene OR 97403 The Emerald operates independently ot the University with ottices on the third floor ot the Erb Memorial Union and is a member ot the Associated Press News and Editor tat 686-5511 Display Advertising and Business 686-3712 Classified Advertising 686-4343 Production 686-4381 Circulation 686-5511 Editor Managing Editor News Editor Assistant News Editor Editorial Page Editor Photo Editor Sports Editor Associate Sports Editor Entertainment Editor Night Editor Associate Editors Higher Education Departments and Schools Student Government Features Politics Politics Education Reporter General Stall Advertising Manager Classified Advertising Production Manager Controller Harry Esteve John Healy Marian Green Cort Fernald Joan Nyland Bob Baker Mike Riplmger Paul Danzer Jonathan Siegle Dane Claussen Sandy Johnstone Frank Shaw Richard Burr Sean Meyers Michele Matassa Aleta Zak Darlene Gore Sally Otjar Victoria Koch Jean Ownbey
