Prospects look good, he said, but more will be known after his Tuesday meeting with Mike Lee, publicity coordinator of KWAX. In further student govern ment matters: • The search for a new EMU Food Service administrator is on, after current head Dwayne Partain leaves for a sabbatical in Switzerland later this summer.

Winter’s symposium will be a cultural/arts extravaganza. • The opening of the Women’s Center in the EMU has been delayed until July 15.

Higher Ed/University •Nearly 3,300 degree can didates and recent graduates participated in the University’s spring term commencement ex ercises Sunday, June 12 at Autzen Stadium. Sen. Mark O. Hatfield gave the commencement speech. Hatfield, a two-term Oregon governor, has served in the U.S. Senate since 1966.

The survey, which was pass ed out in random classes and made available to interested students, further showed 45 percent would support the fee with 8 percent expressing no opinion, according to ASUO Vice President Steve Hoyt. Approximately 500 students took part in the survey. With the results of the survey in, the ASUO's executive staff came to a consensus decision to oppose the fee, Hoyt said. The ASUO made its decision partly because staff members believe computing should be funded by the state. "If students pick it (computer costs) up without a fight.” it would set a bad precedent. Hoyt said. According to Hoyt, Universi ty President Paul Olum recind ed the request in accordance with his promise to pursue the issue only if students supported it. Community The new Oregon helmet law went into effect June lfi. requr ing drivers and passengers of motorcycles and scooters to wear protective headgear. Passengers however, may face tougher penalties because of an error in the law. The maximun fine drivers will pay for not wearing a helmet is $100. Passengers could be subject to a $500 fine because of an oversight when the law was written, according to Division of Motor Vehicle officials. Passengers may get a break, however. The amount of the fine is left up largely to the descretion of judges who could set the fine at a lower rate. The Oregon State Police has set bail — the amount shown on a written citation — at $31. The Eugene Police Department’s bail is $35 while Springfield police will charge $75. •Eugene architect Jim Robert son reported to the Eugene City Council on Juno 15 that the cost for a new public library could be anywhere from $13 to $19 million. The cost is significantly less than previous projections, which went as high at $23 million. The most recent projec tion came as a result of a City Council decision to scale down the plan. The council members decid ed to study five different op tions more closely and took no action.
