Senate postpones debate
on drug-testing resolution
By l.aurie Schwartz
CM thr Kmrrtld
The* University Senate voted
Wednesday 11»-1 :t to postpone;
discussion on a resolution to
recommend discontinuing the*
Athletic; Department’s man
datory random drug-testing
policy.
“The crux of the* matter is the*
legality” of random drug
testing. said senator Dennis
Hyatt, who proposed postpone
ment until Attorney (General
Dave l*'rohnmayer redeases his
opinion on the* issue;, which is
e;xpe;c:ted soon.
The senate; will take the; mat
te*r up at its m*\l session, May
i;t. whe*the*r or not Frohnmayer
re;lease;s his opinion.
Semator Randy Mae Donald, a
student, opposes! the* postpone
ment. saving. “I personally
disagreed with the; attorney
general's ruling on South Africa
(divestiture) ... 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

“AN OREGON TRADITION”
landlord must give before lu* or
slit? shows an occupied apart
ment. she said.
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.
