"I believe a strong central operation within the party is proper. But four people getting together and deciding they can run everything" is not what SPA stands for. Baldwin said. "I oppose the concept of shut ting them (Thompson and Leahy) out completely." he said. As for his own involvement in the discussion, Baldwin said he was concerned at first about the informal gathering. But once discussion started, he was as involved as the other par ticipants. he said. "I can't excuse my own par ticipation." Baldwin said. "I could or should have tried to stop it" when discussion shifted to the officer elections, but by that time, he was as in volved as the other participants, he said. Baldwin, who has publicly acknowledged his desire to con tinue as IFC chairman, is also sending a copy of his brief to Peter Swan. University Presi dent Paul Olum's legal adviser This is because he is not sure how much weight a Constitu tion Court finding has with this committee or future commit tees. he said. When informed of last Fri day's private meeting. Thomp son expressed disappointment that a decision was made without knowledge of the full Bob Baldwin board. "I'm disappointed because it precludes our concern about who we would like as chair. Not that we would necessarily disagree, but that it's an effort to preclude us." Thompson said Hoyt could not be reached for comment. Housing Continued from Page 1 the old system because students lined up at the department before the doors opened — sometimes days before — and any student who could not wait in line would not have a chance at any openings, said Frank Caddini, area director of Amazon and East Campus fami ly housing. He agreed changes need to be made in the system; although he's not ready to give up on the lottery. "But. I think it's impor tant to follow student recom mendations," he added. Lis Perlman, a graduate ar chitecture student and two-year East Campus resident, had col laborated with East Campus residents and devised a first come. first-serve waiting list system. However, it requires students to confirm their spot on the list every term instead of beginning each term with a new list. This system will eliminate the lines each term and assure each family its spot so they don’t get their hopes up each term, she said. "I agree with the waiting system. I think it would be a fairer idea than the lottery." said Geoff Brooks, a graduate teaching fellow in the business school. •‘At today's meeting it seem ed that the tendency was to go back to the old system, but with modifications to that system that meet today’s environ ment," Gaddini said. He said the next meeting pro bably will produce a written proposal, which would be sub mitted to the housing depart ment's administrative staff for ratification The next meeting will be hold in two weeks, but he gave no specific date. Station Continued from Page 1 owned so the land would re quire purchasing. The city has talked to the owners but no price has been set yet.” Tamulonis said. Currently the depot is in fair condition, Tamulonis said. ‘‘Deterioration is setting in, though. In some areas The ex terior needs substantial repairs and painting," he said. According to Murdock, the building is a city landmark, a state landmark and is eligible to be listed on the National Historic Register. Murdock cited possible uses for the depot as a tourist infor mation center, a small perform ing arts center or a Willamalane Parks District building. She said the city should reach a decision as to what it will do with the station by the end of this year If enough funding cannot be located. Southern Pacific has the ultimate decision as to what to do with it. Tamulonis said that if the city doesn't take it. the railroad company will pro bably tear it down. F O INVITATIOI BROCHURE: FLYER!
