Lenny’s supporters protest
Sacred Heart lease refusal
About 30 people shouting
slogans and wielding banners
marched from the popular cam
pus restaurant Lenny's Nosh
Bar to Sacred Heart General
Hospital on Saturday afternoon
to protest the hospital's refusal
to extend leases to any
businesses in The Courtyard
past March 31, 1986.
After parading around the
neighborhood surrounding the
hospital while shouting “Make
lox. not lots" and “Doctors
should ride the bus." the
demonstrators presented a peti
tion signed by 518 people to
Isabelle Weiberg. the hospital's
administrative supervisor.
The petition was begun
earlier this month by a group of
Lenny's regular patrons who
believe the possible destruction
of the restaurant needs to be
brought to the community's
attention.
When told on Friday of the
upcoming protest, hospital
spokesman Alan Yordy smiled
and said, “That's what makes
America," but he emphasized
that The Courtyard's leases will
not be extended.
Poppi's, a Greek restaurant,
remains the only business with
a lease extending past March
1986. Its lease expires March
1987 and hospital officials are
- currently negotiating with the
restaurant's owners to end the
. lease early.'

parking lot. as was done with
Sahalie Natural Poods in the
summer of 1984. Sacred Heart
officials have said the hospital
needs at least an additional 400
parking spaces.
‘"We don't want to see this
place replaced by a parking
lot,” said Scott Taylor, one of
the protest’s organizers. .“I
would like to get a couple thou
sand signatures (on the peti
tion). The main thing is to get
the word out."
Blit Yordy said nothing is
final yet. The hospital has been
working with planners since
last spring to study its parking
needs and will need another
three to six months before
presenting its plan to the
public, he said,
“The neighborhood will
undergo change in the future,
and we need to plan this out
carefully,” Yordy said.
Sacred Heart also purchased I

Expansion of Williams Bakery \
may block part of Moss Street
Those attempting to drive on
Moss Street between 18th and
13th avenues may find the
traveling difficult soon if
Williams Bakery goes ahead
with its plan to block off a
400-foot stretch of the street.
The plan to block the street,
which runs between the
Williams' main plant and its
thrift shop, already has gained
approval by the Campus Plann
ing Committee. University
Planner David Rowe said the
bakery promised to provide
pedestrian and bicycle access
through the closed section of
the street.
Although the University land
does not border Moss Street
near the proposed closing, it
must approve of the protect

jerry Boness. Williams con
troller, said the bakery surveyed
a majority of the other nearby
property owners and found that
they also approved of the
project.
“We need this because of ex
pansion.” Boness said. “We're
running out of room to park our
trucks." <,
Although Boness expects the
city to approve the street
closure, he said it may be some
time before the bakery proceeds
with the project. The local
economy must remain fairly
stable for construction to begin
soon, he said
“We are very anxious to at
least use it (Moss Street) to park
our excess trucks," Boness said.
When the street is blocked
off. a turnaround also will be
constructed, Boness said.
A public hearing before the
Kugene City Council will be
held on the matter within the
next two weeks.
