Eugene’s fire stations will bold open bouses to raise fire safety awareness for kids and adults By Jesse Sowa Community Reporter In conjunction with Fire Prevention Week, the Eugene fire department will hold an open house at all the city’s sta tions on Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m., in cluding the station nearest campus on E. 18th Avenue and Agate Street. Deputy Fire Marshal Mary Ellen Holly said this will allow both adults and chil dren to look at the station houses, fire ap paratus and emergency and medical equipment. Children will also be taught fire and life safety behaviors. “What we want is for the firefighters to meet their neighborhood and the neigh borhood to meet the firefighters, so peo ple know who is responding to a fire or medical emergency,” Holly said. Part of this neighborhood includes the University campus. The department is hoping to create a video on the many fire hazards in frater nities and sororities in the University area. “ [Students! need to follow the fire and life safety rules,” Holly said, “and we’re Turn to FIRE, Page 6A WENDY FULLER/Emerald Firefighter Dave Hall paints speaker boxes in preparation for Saturday's open house.

Test your Turn to SAFETY, Page 7A All funds were considered in decision to charge for printing, Provost says John Moseley denied ASUO allegations that $50,000 fell through the cracks By Doug Irving Student Activities Editor The University failed to take $50,000 into account when it decided to charge stu dents 10 cents per printed page at some computer stations, the ASUO said Thurs day. Provost John Moseley denied that. “It had been taken into account,” he said. “And there is no available money.” University libraries began charging 10 cents for every page printed this year, blaming paper waste and a budget deficit for the charges. University computer labs — EMU, Mill race and Klamath — put the printing charges on hold last week. Campus li braries continued to charge. The EMU and Knight Library computer labs received $20,000 each for "Printing Tracking and Collection,” according to the University’s Educational Technology Ex penditure Plan. The Millrace and Science Library computer labs each received $5,000. That money doesn’t appear in the Uni versity’s printing budget, said Adrienne Young, ASUO associate outreach director. The University said the libraries are charging seven cents per page to make up its printing costs and three cents to prevent students from wasting so much paper. But printing costs would drop to about two cents per page if the additional $50,000 is added into the budget, Young said. The ASUO suggested the libraries stop Turn to PAPER, Page 3A ((It had been taken into account. And there is no available money. ^ John Moseley Provost
