Strike ^ont*nuec* *rom 1 EEA spokesman Darrel Puls said the filing of the petition was a "scattershot” approach on the part of the district. "They are trying to create a smokescreen to demoralize and confuse people," he said. "They are using a shotgun ap proach, hoping to hit something." Richards said the district hopes the petition will put pressure on the EEA to reach settlement. "They have to have some concern. Teachers must return to the classroom,” he said. In 1979 the district filed a similar petition with the ERB. Eugene teachers were on strike for nine days before a settlement was reached. The ERB schedul ed a hearing, but it was not held due to the settlement. EEA officials say they are willing and ready to negotiate. The process is growing increas ingly frustrating. Gross said. A marathon mediation ses sion is scheduled for Saturday afternoon.

According to Oregon statutes on drinking and driving, a per son is legally intoxicated when blood alcohol content is .08 or above. Distribution, possession or consumption of alcohol in freshman halls are prohibited, according to University Hous ing Director Marjory Ramey, but being intoxicated in the dorms is not. “We deal with intoxication with referrals and resources,” Ramey said, and called atten tion to the housing depart ment’s substance abuse pro gram on campus. “The residence halls have been deeply involved with that. both personally and financial ly.” she said. According to a contract all University dorm residents must sign, students are not allowed on roofs or permitted to climb up the sides of resident halls or in the windows. “If they do it once, it’s too common.” Ramey said. “We're trying to discourage the students from doing this. “Ironically, if you were to walk out there now. . there’s a student sitting in a Tingle win dow. reading, with his feet out. dangling. And that really leads you to understand that it’s hard to control. You can't control it. It’s a real problem,” she continued. The ledges at Hamilton Com plex are the widest of campus dorms. Ramey added. Although dorm management enforces rules on ledge walking, campus security will report students seen outside dorm windows, said Campus Security Officer Suzie Hunter. “We drive by, and if we see them, what we do is get on the WE’VE GOT SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE DURING OUR spring MADNESS SALE Every Record, Cassette, Compact Disc and Accessory on SALE!! r CHRIS-IS AA R s5" THE HOUSEMARTIAIS MONO HOLM S599 WITH Atlantic Records SC 99 The Big Dish swimmer frf ,T ■<r SC99 Island Records S599 WARNER/ELEKTRA/A TLANTIC Records and Cassettes LOU GRAMM READY OR NOT Or Noi If I Don t Have Ychi S688 =5<PUR= $ Valley River Center 683-8330 Mon-Fri 10-9 Sat 10 6 Sun 115 RECORDS, TAPES AND COMPACT DISCS X "AN OREGON TRADITION” Fifth & Willamette 687-0761 Mon-Thurs 8-9 Fri 8 10 Sat 10 10.

Resident assistants in each hall are available to unlock rooms that students lock themselves out of, Ramey said. "That's one of their duties." Frangos’ fall is the first acci dent of the academic year resulting from a student being on a dorm ledge. Ramey said. "There was one last year, and between 1969 and 1976 there were two that I know of for sure,” she said. Chris Chupa, the resident assistant for Tingle, would not comment on the incident.

The computer network, known as the “Total Informa tion System,” would keep records for all of Oregon’s public four-year colleges and universities. Students would be able to register for classes using the computers. The State System of Higher Education has been working on the computer network since 1980. The system plans call for a mainframe computer in Cor vallis on which all records woidd be kept. The records would include student, finan cial and human resources files from all eight State System schools and the State Board's office. About 2,800 terminals to the new system would be distributed to offices on the eight college and university campuses. East spring, legislators and higher education officials disagreed about how the com puter network should be built after some computer science professors criticized the State System’s plan to build a large mainframe computer that would cover the state. The critics charged that such a system might never work and could become obsolete before it was completed. The differences were recon ciled, and the $35 million pro ject was not scrapped. There will be a request for proposals from software vendors in the next two weeks, said State System Vice Chancellor Bill Lem man. Today. Lemman will tell the legislative subcommittee how much the State System will spend on the computer system in the next two years.
