It’s ‘pop on the house’ for drivers
Groups target drunk driving
By Diana Elliott
Of the Emerald
University sororities and fraternities are
teaming up with several local organizations to
launch a ‘‘No Thanks, I’m Driving” campaign,
designed to encourage “drinking” drivers to
stick |o soda pop.
Representatives from Mothers Against Drunk
Driving, Students Against Drunk Driving, the
University fraternities and sororities, and the
Eugene Broadcast Council announced their
strategy to keep drunk drivers off the roads dur
ing a press conference at the Valley River Inn
Thursday.
The campaign is aimed at getting Eugene
Springfield restaurant and tavern owners to offer
free nOn-alcoholic beverages to one person in
each group who is the group’s designated driver.
Mark Hutcheson, a member of the Greek
Public Relations Council, believes that once the
campaign gets underway, more restaurants will
get involved.
The Eugene Broadcast Council sent 170 let
ters to local restaurant and tavern owners explain
ing what they were expected to do and what
would be the responsibilities of the organizations
sponsoring the program.
If an establishment decides to participate,
SADD and Greek representatives will deliver
posters to the restaurants to be displayed in the
windows, and “No Thanks, I’m Driving” lapel
stickers for the designated driver, said Chuck
Chackel, general manager of KUGN radio station.
And restaurant owners will be expected to of
fer free soft drinks or coffee to people wearing the
stickers. In turn, the broadcasters will mention
participating restaurants over the air.
Chackel believes the program can only help
area-business owners. “It obviously puts them in
a good light,” Chackel said. “And there’s no cost
to participating restaurants — except the price of
the soft drinks.”
Six months ago, the broadcasters council and
MADD came up with the educational program.
Since that time, the other organizations have join
ed in, Chackel said.

First application
of B.t. completed
By Cynthia Whitfield
Of the Emerald
The first phase of the gypsy
moth eradication project was
finished Thursday after
helicopters released the last of
Eugene’s first application of B.t.
over parts of south Eugene.
I-ane County locations yet to
be sprayed include parts of Cot
tage Grove and areas in east
Lane County, said Shawn Mor
ford, a project spokeswoman.
As of Thursday, 180,400 of the
227,000 targeted acres had been
sprayed.
Two more applications over
all 227,000 acres are planned,
each within seven to 10 days of
each other.
In the meantime, designated
gypsy moth headquarters
receive 600 to 800 calls each
day over two public information
hotlines. The numbers are
1-800-654-4414 and 726-2528.
The greatest number of calls,
946, were received Monday, the
day of the most extensive spray
ing in Eugene.
Brenda Comini, another pro
ject spokeswoman, says those
concerned with removing B.t.
from their cars should wash
them with mild soap and water.
“The sticky stuff is the plyac
that makes the B.t. stick to the
leaves. You should try to get it
off while it’s still damp,” Com
ini said. She added that the
substance won’t damage the
paint, but it may take two
washings to remove.
Apart from scheduling spray
ings, public safety and car
cleansing, there are other con
siderations. “We’ve had some
complaints about the noise,
especially Saturday morning,”
Morford said. “People say the
helicopters wake them up.”
Some people call wanting to
know why they’re being
sprayed twice, Morford said.
Although people living on the
borders of two treatment areas
may get sprayed twice because
of boundary overlap, “usually
the helicopters are just flying by
on their way to the next treat
ment area,” Morford added.
Some people call after they
discover caterpillars in their
yards. “They want to know if
they have gypsy moths. Usually
what they describe doesn’t
sound at all like gypsy moths,”
Morford said. “In fact, there’s
lots of other caterpillars around
this time of year. These (gypsy
moth) caterpillars are so small
you can barely see them.”
