Service helps temporary profs
settle in home away from home
By Jill Homan
Of Ihf Emerald
Professors leaving for sabbatical often have a
problem: renting their house for a year. And pro
fessors moving here to teach for a year have a dif
ferent problem: finding a home.
To help these people, the University provides a
Faculty Housing Referral Program.
The program, which was transferred this year
from the arts and letters department to the housing
department, rents the homes of professors going on
sabbatical to visiting faculty members.
The mobility of the University faculty created a
need for the program, says Marjory Ramey, acting
housing director.
The program matches the housing needs of the
outgoing staff to those who have come to the Univer
sity community and "have no idea what to do about
housing. They are here on grants or sabbatical, or to
further their education, and need an alternative to
buying a residence," Ramey says.
The program is simple in its approach, she says.
Outgoing faculty members are asked to com
plete a card detailing information about the location
of the residence, the desired monthly rental rate,
whether the home is furnished or unfurnished, what
appliances are provided, the number of bedrooms
and whether pets are allowed.
The information then is fed into a computer and
a listing of available homes is furnished upon request
to incoming faculty for a $5 service fee. The prospec
tive renters are then able to search the available ren
tal offerings for something they like.
Ramey says the service is not intended to act as
an agent for commercial property; it will not aid in
the rental of property such as apartments owned by
professors. Student housing also is excluded from
the service.
Listings are maintained the length of each
academic term and can be renewed upon request.
All rentals must meet the standards set by the
Landlord/Tenant Law and Affirmative Action.
For more information on the program, contact the
housing department at 686^4277.
Student groups organize rally
to blast Solomon Amendment
By John Heldt
Of the Emerald
With the future of the Solomon
Amendment still in doubt, at least
one ASUO organization is
prepared to make sure all draft
related issues remain open to
question.
That may be why Students Op
posed to Registration and the
Draft, along with other ASUO and
Lane Community College groups,
is co-sponsoring an Oct. 14 rally.
The event will give attention to
the Solomon Amendment, which
requires all draft-eligible students
to register with the Selective Ser
vice before receiving federal
financial aid.
In its second year as an ASUO
program, SORD is making an ac
tive effort to let students know
how draft registration affects
them and what options are
available to those who fail to
register.
But the group does not restrict
itself to educating students on the
draft.
"We are trying to create a more
universal awareness of the neo
militaristic movement," SORD
member Ann Alter says.
While the group's primary focus
will be on registration and the
draft, SORD will ally with other
organizations in taking on related
issues, such as U.S. involvement
in Central America and the
=ni
nuclear freeze movement.
Last year, SORD was instrumen
tal in bringing Benjamin Sasway,
the first person indicted for failing
to register for the draft, to the
University for two speaking
engagements.
Alter says SORD plans to work
"hand in hand" with its sister
organization, the Coalition Op
posing Registration and the Draft
(CORD). She says the two groups
will work together to bring about
greater community awareness of
issues related to the neo
militaristic movement.
The rally also will give attention
to Solompn II, a lesser known
amendment that would deny per
sons the right to participate in
federal job-training programs for
tailing to register.
"This amendment would
primarily affect minorities and
lower-income men," Alter says.
Counseling also will be a priori
ty this year. CORD members soon
will be training individuals, who in
turn will help others.
Alter is very optimistic about the
educational opportunities that are
and will be available to students.
"What SORD is giving the stu
dent body is a resource center tor
the issues of registration and the
draft," she says.
And while SORD will be spen
ding a great deal of its time
educating students on the issues,
it will not be passive in voicing its
opinions and eliminating student
apathy.
"One of our goals will be to
reawaken the anti-war and anti
draft movements," Alter says,
citing the need for such a change
on the University campus.
