By Peter Cogswell
Emerald Associate Editor
A contractor who accidental
ly dug into an underground
electric cable cut off power to
the University for approximate
ly 90 minutes Wednesday after
noon.
The contractor dug into the
cable near the Physical Plant
across franklin Boulevard, said
Tom Santee of the Eugene Wa
ter and Electric Board. The ca
ble was owned by EWEB.
The power went out around 1
j.m. ami came back on at about
1:20 pm. Santcr said
Santee noted that there are
ilternative sources for power
nto the University, imt because
he break occurred so close to
he Physical Plant, it caused
problems to the main switches
into the University
"It took some work to get the
switches flipped," Santee said
The outage would not have
lasted so long had it not affect
ixi University equipment. San
tee added. The contractor will
he held responsible for the
damage.
A rumored fire in the base
ment of Oregon Mall turned out
to In- nothing hut smoke odor
from a generator in the base
ment of the structure starting
up again when power returned
to the building
No injuries were reported
and no reports of major damage
to si ience experiments have yet
been received. University offi
cials said.
Damages to the University's
computing system were not
known at press time
