ODE
The Oregon Daily Emerald
board of directors voted
unanimously to change the
paper’s affirmative action
policy Thursday night.
The previous policy included
a line stating "women and
minorities are encouraged to ap
ply" within the ODE classified
ads informing the public of an
ODE opening. Also, the ap
plications state that the ODE is
an equal opportunity employer
and instructs people where to
file a complaint if they feel that
they have been discriminated
against.
The new policy will not
eliminate any of the current
practices, but will add a service.
Now. before applications are
closed for a: ODE position, all
AS! O-recognized campus
minority groups will receive a
form letter in their ASUO office
mailboxes. The form letter will
identify which ODE department
has the opening, the position
that is open, the application
deadline, and where prospec
tive applicants can get a more
detailed job description. The
letter also states that the ODE is
an equal opportunity employer
and encourages women and
minorities to apply.
Doug Pyle. ODE board
member, believed that the ex
isting policy was inadequate
and suggested a new system.
The. board reviewed his pro
posal and adopted it after clari
fying what, minority, groups will
receive the letters and changing
the-deadline to deliver the form
letters from five days before a
positon is filled to before the
closing of applications.
SUAB
At the Student University Af
fairs Board's Thursday night
meeting! members considered a
proposal , by Registrar Herb
Chereck to shorten the add/drop
option's deadline from three to
two weeks following the start of
a term.
George Prior, SUAB represen
t a t i v e f r o m t h e
business/economics depart
ment, said about 80 percent of
the SUAB members opposed
Chereck’s plan as it would not
allow students enough time to
evaluate a course.
Moving the add/drop
deadline up a week also would
be unrealistic as students often
cannot tell how they are doing
in a class until after the first ex
am, which is usually held dur
ing the term’s third week, Prior
added.
The accounting, writing and
computer sciences departments
have shorter deadlines for drop
ping or adding courses. Prior
said, but he could see no real
reason of Chereck's to change
the deadline. "It’s a real
nebulous proposal," Prior
added.
The proposal will be discuss
ed at the University Senate
meeting on April 3.
The board also filled three
department vacancies at the
meeting. Appointed were: Ar
thur Daret as the "undeclared’’
representative; Leslie Vike,
physical education represen
tative; and Dean Sidwell,
representing planning, public
policy and management.
Constitution
Court
Members of the ASUO Con
stitution Court unanimously
agreed Tuesday that the Oregon
State Public Interest Research
Group's budget request must be
placed on the spring ballot
every, two years for student ap
proval to receive incidental fee
originated funding.
The Incidental Fee Commit
tee allocated $42,775 to
OSPIRG’s 1985-86 budget
March 11. although members of
both groups were unsure as to
•whether OSPIRG's request must
be voted on by students in
April, or.if the two-year referen
dum in Section 6.11 of the Con
stitution was designed as a
•check of student support.
Court member Jon Folkestad
says OSPIRG probably will seek
the repeal of that section.

ping on the little guy,” McBumey said. “But
we’ve been struggling to stay in business dur
ing a severe recession.”
McBumey says he has been losing
$30-$50 a day since the vendors have been
around. And other area businesses report
similar losses. Dave Gibson, co-owner of
Kinko's Copies, 860 E. 13th Ave., also at
tributes his 40 percent drop in sales to the
presence of the vendors.
"We’re here all the time,” McBumey
says. “We don’t have the luxury of putting
wheels on our restaurants and wheeling away
when business is slow.”
Potts says she is more concerned about the
congestion problem than the loss in business.
The street vendors clog up foot traffic in an
area that has always been dangerously con
gested, she says.
But Wilson believes the vendors have
helped the problem. “If anything we are forc
ing pedestrians to use crosswalks,” he says.
University Bookstore manager Jim
Williams says that the extra people con
gregating around the busy comer is unsafe. He
is concerned that the combination of
bicyclists, pedestrians, automobiles, buses
and now. the vendors has created an extreme
safety hazard in the city’s busiest place for foot
Williams and other merchants also believe
the aesthetic quality of the area is deteriorating
because of the vendors.
In a report prepared for a presentation to
the the mayor last week, restaurant owners ex
pressed their frustration about the increase in
litter and the negative appearance of the carts.
“Since the presence of the street vendors,
trash on the streets has increased con
siderably,” the report states. And the carts are
"too large and have a carnival or flea market
appearance.”
This is especially frustrating to merchants
who have made efforts to keep the area nice,
McBumey says.
“The city requires us to maintain street
lights and trash receptacles, and we must
adhere to a strict sign ordinance,” McBumey
says.
Vendors believe they don’t detract from
the atmosphere, but add to it.
“The carts aren’t tacky,” Wilson says.
"People like looking at them.”
But it is up to the city to draft a new or
dinance. And that’s not easy, says Susan Smir
noff, economic diversification development
director.
A public forum to discuss drafting a new or
dinance will be held 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at
City Hall.
