I am not waiting with hated breath for the* attorney ge;neral's opinion on this.” Senator Dan Thoma. the; stu de*nt who introduc;e;d the resolu tion. said the issue* c:ould he* argued on the basis of the degradation and humiliation caused by random drug testing, rather than constitutionality. "Even if the attorney general says it's legal, we still think it’s wrong.” Thoma said. “Mis decision is moot.” In other business, the senate voted 20-10 to ask University President Paul Olum to set up a committee to study the feasibili ty of changing the interval bet ween l Jniversity classes from 10 to l !i minutes. “Ten minutes is an excessive ly short period of time.” said MacDonald, who introduced the resolution. He said lie sometimes has trouble getting to classes on time when he has to go from Lawrence Hall to Clinical Services. Senator Cory Wynne said the important issues are the amount ol time students have to discuss questions with professors after class and class disruptions when people come in late. It's a question of quality of educa tion. he said. Attendance was low at the session, although student senators had a high turnout. Students with legal questions can turn to OSPIRG hotline By Sarah Kitchen Ol the Emerald Students with questions about their rights have somewhere to turn. A hotline offered by the Oregon Student Public Interest Research Croup answers ques tions about landlord/tenant disputes, new cars that break down and other problems. OSIMRC’s consumer hotline has served students and com munity members since 19H2, hut a lot of people aren't aware the hotline exists, said Co coordinator Dianne Decker. The most common problems are landlord tenant disputes, Dec ker said. Questions include how long it takes to get a refund on a deposit, how to get a reluc tant landlord to repair an item, consumers' rights concerning eviction and how much notice a WE’VE GOT SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE DURING OUR SPRING MADNESS SALE!

A common problem with deposits occurs when students move out at the beginning of tin; summer and leave town, said Jack Kapuscinski, OSPIRC’s campus coordinator. “Many times students get taken advantage of because they move out in June and may have left the state, so they are not around in July and do not pick up their refund," he said. “A lot of people do not know how to get refunds back, and they also do not know that it a landlord does not give it to you after :t() days, you can get hack double the money." he added. OSPIRCi members are in the process of writing a flier about tenant refunds, and they expect to make literature drops in sur rounding housing areas in May. When they receive a call, stall members give advice if they can or refer the caller to an expert it they can’t. For example, callers might he referred to Legal Aid. Consumer Protection in Salem or an owner of a local rental management consulting firm. When a caller is referred elsewhere, hotline stall members find out what happens in the case to help them advise people in the future. Kapuscin ski said. Over the years, the hotline has collected a number of liles on certain disputes. Decker added, "We don’t just get calls from students, we also get calls from people in the community. For example we get .1 lot of older people who were fooled into buying things door to door." In such a case, the caller is told of the three-dav cooling off period a purchaser has to return an item purchased from a door-to-door salesperson for a full refund. Decker emphasized that while the hotline gives advice, it cannot accept formal complaints Seven OSPIRCI staff members work on the hotline. Monday through Friday from 10 am to 5 p.m. The number is 086-4357.
