Saferide ends route, but rides still available
By Daralyn Trappe
Emerald Auooafe Editor
Safertde, tho student-run nighttime shut
tle service for woman, Is discontinuing its
regular on-campus route for the rest of tho
summer, but any female student In nond of
a rido can still catch the off-campus van
Low ridorship and an unreliable van are
tho reasons Saforldo co-diroctor Asia l)e
Woese gave for the decision The on-cam
pus route, which stops at areas such as the
KMli and the library ovory half-hour for
several hours each night, will resume again
in tho fall
Because the library closes at 9 p.m. and
the EMU closes at 7:30 p m during tho
summer, tho number of students waiting for
a ride has been minimal. DcWooso said
This is the first summer Safortde has op
erated and last year's staff didn't lake such
things into account. DcWooso said.
"It's not economical having a van driving
around and around picking up no one," she
said
In addition, the on-campus van is in
rough shape. De Woeso said it has broken
down and been unable to pick up women
who needed rides four times this summer
"To say we'll be there and then not show
up is more dangerous than saying we ain't
give someone a ride." DeWeese said.
Off-campus ridership is also much slower
this summer (hnn during the regular year,
DcVVoesc said, so room is available on that
van for students who previously rodo the
on-campus van. Reservations can be made
by calling H6-4239
The on-campus van is one of two current
ly owned by Saferide. The other is used to
take women to destinations off the campus
route. Saferide is currently In the process of
buying a third van. aiso to be used for off
campus rides during the school year.
DeWeese said if the shuttle servico runs
next summer, a reevaluation of times and
plains for a regular route will be made.
Perot backers refuse to quit, turn in petitions
SALEM (AP)
— Oregon sup
porters of Ross
Perot's now-do
funct prctidnnllal hid turned in
about 110,000 petition signa
tures Monday to pul his name
on the fall Iwilot.
They conceded such a move
would be symbolic, since the
Texas tycoon has said ho won't
lx; a candidate
Even so. about 150 support
ers who turned out for a rally
on the front steps of the Capitol
said they think Perot has start
ed a political movement that
won't die
"Mi* name on that ballot will
symbolize that the common
man can make a difference,"
said Richard Kidd, Oregon di
rector of thn campaign
Kidd said he’s received as
surances from Perot aides in
Texas that Perot will sign a
pledge needed to put his name
ori Oregon's ballot once the
state certifies that at least
39,000 of the signatures are val
id.
The petitions call for a crea
tion of a political party whoso
purpose Is to nominate Perot
for president
Kidd and other Perot sup
porters said the parly won't
field candidates in other races
or support othor candidates.
Getting Perot on the ballot was
the only goal of the petition
drive, they said.
Although Perot's decision to
drop out of the race two weeks
ago drew anger from some of
his supporters around the
country, those who attended
Monday's rally hud only kind
wools for the Texas business
man.
Louise Neidig, who identi
fied herself as a Corvallis
housewife, said she thinks
Perot got fed up with "dirty
politics."
"The way they attacked him
just shows how bad the system
has become,” Neidig said. "I
can't really blame him for get
ting tired of it."
“Politics is so dirty that no
one who is worthwhile wunts
to get near the job," she said.
Merritt Williams, a rood engi
neer from Culver, predicted
that Perot would draw a lot of
votes in Oregon if his name ap
pears on the ballot.
"Basically, he told the truth,"
Williams said. "Wu'ro in debt.
This country is going to bo in
trouble."

McLucas, a keyboard player,
has musical interests that in
clude musicology and
elhnomuslcology. especially
British, Celtic and American
folk songs, early American
musical theater, and the cere
monial music of the Apuches.
as well as rock music, which
her son, a jazz/fusion musician,
helped leach her about.
"All forms of music havo va
lidity," she said. "We need to
loam to respect other's laslos in
music, and get to know people
who don't necessarily come to
classical concerts ”
Getting to know other people
will become a major part of
McLucas' work al the Universi
ty, because she hopes to I rotter
Involve the School of Music
with the community, beginning
with the University community
und expanding to Include the
Eugene area.
"The University doesn't
know enough about the School
of Music, and the School of
Music doesn't know enough
about the University," she said.
"I'd like to find ways to gel slu
dnnl groups into the University,
und enable music students to
take more courses outside the
School of Music."
"Students should be pre
pared to be a part of a commu
nity." McLucas said, "whether
it's international or local. I
don't think people realize how
muny ways there are to be mu
sicians in communities of all
sizes "
"You're not going to have an
audience unless you have a
way to relate to regular poo
pie,"McLucas said.
McLucas tivontually envi
sions the School of Music in
volved with the Eugene com
munity at all levels, for exam
ple. ranging from working with
children to teaching music les
sons to retired people, perhaps
supplementing programs that
may have ticen scaled back.
McLucas thinks that the mu
sic school's style of fining "gen
tly experimental, trying some
new things quietly and proud
ly," will work especially well
with Increasing community in
volvement.
"I need to figure out the com
munity, and figure out wbal
sort of ideas will work,”
McLucas said. "I want to figure
out the University, too."
Part of this process will be
aided by the intensive curricu
lum and program reviews that
are expected to tako up most of
next year.
McLucas would also like to
“work on the low profile" of
the music school. 'Td like to
get the University known.” sho
said.
Other potential plans include
offsetting the effects of Moasure
5 by hiring a development offi
cer for the School of Music,
who would be responsible for
fund-raising at the school.
"1 was Impressed with the
administration because they
were honest with mo,”
McLucas said of Measure 5's ef
fects and the accompanying
budget cuts, which were an
nounced the same week she ar
rived for her Interview in Eu
gene last year. "They've main
tained their optimism and they
haven't sacrificed anything be
cause of the short-term crisis."

Poorer students will lose their "eco

students will still find a way to go to

Moreover. Parker said, if high school
graduates leave the state in search of a
cheaper college education, Oregon tax

"The taxpayers have payed for 12 years

Bui students’ woes aren’t Ihe only con

In the budget, the higher education
board detailed a list of priorities that

It would first give back $35 million to
student access, which moans working to
increase enrollment and lower tuition.
Next, it would give $20 million to "de

Deferred obligations, Parker said, are
