Oregon Sen. Mark Hatfield
added some spawning areas
and elk habitat to a wilderness
bill that will probably go before
— and pass — both the Senate
and the House early next week,
Rep. )im Weaver, D-Eugene,
said Tuesday.
“Sen. Hatfield and I agreed on
an Oregon wilderness bill to
day. I asked the senator if we
could save a couple more
spawning areas," Weaver said,
co-sponsor of a larger House
Bill.
The changes include 8,000
acres in the Grassy Knob River
area on the south coast, and the
substitution of Glacier Monu
ment area for the higher eleva
tion Glacier area in Eastern
Oregon's Blue Mountains.
Grassy Knob includes salmon
spawning areas. Glacier Monu
ment, profuse with Ponderosa
Pine, provides habitat for elk.
vvun tne adjustments, me
Hatfield bill, which emerged
from committee last week, now
totals an unofficial 943,000
acres, with about 858,000 acres
set aside for wilderness and
another 85,000 for recreation
and fisheries.
If passed, the bill would
release the rest of Oregon's 3

could.'

million acres of federally owned
roadless areas to development,
though wilderness reviews
would be required every 10 or
15 years.
Hatfield said Wednesday that
he would send the bill directly
to the Senate floor, rather than
delay its becoming law by
presenting it to a House-Senate
conference committee.
The other co-sponsors of the
1.2 million acre House bill,
Democratic Reps. Les AuCoin
and Ron Wyden, both of
Portland, endorsed the unad
justed Hatfield bill last
Thursday.
Weaver predicted that the bill
agreed on Tuesday would pass
the Senate and the House all in
one day early next week.
"So we have a bill," he said.
"We did the best we could."
Andy Kerr, associate director
of Oregon Natural Resources
Council, said that while Hat
field's bill is expanded from last
week's version, it is still too
small.
"We're pleased the areas
were added and changed, but
the bill is too small to protect
Oregon's wild elk, salmon and
steelhead population," Kerr
said, adding that ONRC would
continue in the future to seek
more piecemeal additions to the

Native pow-wow returns to Mac Court
A project that began in the fall when the
academic year started will culminate this
weekend when the University's Native American
Student Union hosts a pow-wow at McArthur
Court Friday through Sunday.
Activities, which are free and open to the
public, begin at 7:30 p.m. Friday with the Grand
Entry, which features traditional dances, songs
and Native Americans in colorful tribal costumes.
The event's organizer, Rosalynd Sampson, ex
pects nearly 1,000 people to attend the 16th an
nual pow-wow, including Indian royalty and
respected elders.
The pow-wow is intended to give local residents
"a colorful and memorable look at American
culture," Sampson says.
Authentic Indian arts and crafts, as well as
foods, will be on sale throughout the weekend,
and the performances will be just as authentic.
The pow-wow will feature various dances, rang
ing from traditonal to fancy and including
children and adults.
For further information, contact NASU at
686-3723 between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., Monday
through Friday.
Two bills won't
up phone costs
Prepare for another bill —
people who lease their phones
will receive two separate bills as
of May 7.
As a result of the restructuing
of AT&T in January, Pacific
Northwest Bell will send one bill
including charges for local
telephone service and long
distance, and AT&T will send
another bill for equipment
charges for leased telephones.
Previously, all charges were
included together in monthly
bills from PNB.
Over 1 million customers in
Washington, Oregon and Nor
thern Idaho are among the first
in the country to receive the
separate bills.
