tice,” said Alba, who is a former
director of health education serv
ices at the University. “If you make
people jump through a lot of
hoops, they won't take advantage
of the program.”
Junior Justin Hardy agreed with
Alba that diminished condom avail
ability may have a negative effect.
“I understand the budget thing,
but I don’t know if getting rid of the
baskets is a good idea, ” he said.
FPEP went into effect under for
mer President Bill Clinton and
will last for another two years. Af
ter that, President George W.
Bush’s administration will be re
sponsible for reinstating the pro
gram’s funding.
The health center will monitor
the program this year and decide
whether it will continue to be a
part of FPEP or reinstate the previ
ous program.
“As the budget unfolds, we may
be able to offer free condoms
again,” Fleischli said.

EWEB will hold hearing
The Eugene Water and Electric
Board will hold a public hearing
Tuesday evening to gather feed
back on a possible increase in over
all electric rates by 33 percent and
an average residential rate increase
of 36 percent to start in November.
Tuesday’s hearing, which will be
held at 7:30 p.m. in the Training
Room of EWEB’s North Building at
500 E. Fourth Ave., is the first of
two to discuss the rate increases. A
second hearing will be held Sept.
4, and following the hearings
EWEB’s board of commissioners
will decide on the rate increases.
If the commissioners vote to raise
electricity rates, the utility board ex
pects the average residential cus
tomer’s monthly bill to rise from the
current $62.50 to about $86. The in
crease is in response to EWEB’s main
energy provider, the Bonneville Pow
er Administration, raising its whole
sale prices by 46 percent Oct. 1.
Following the discussion on
electric rates, the commissioners
will also open the floor to com
ments on a proposal to raise water
rates by an average of 11.4 percent,
also to begin in November.
OUS makes final offer to union
The Oregon University System an
nounced Monday that it will offer its
classified employees a $20.4 million
increase in salary and benefits for the
2001-2003 biennium as part of its fi
nal offer to end contract negotiations.
OUS chief negotiator Cynthia
Beckwith said in a prepared state
ment that the OUS is “hopeful that
a fair and balanced settlement can
be negotiated in a timely fashion
when the parties next meet under
mediation.” The next session is
scheduled for Aug. 22 and 27.
On Aug. 6, members of the Oregon
Public Employees Union declared a
state of impasse to express their frus
tration at what they perceived as the
OUS management dragging its feet
in the labor negotiations.
As part of the impasse situation,
the OUS was required by law to
submit its final offer within seven
days of the impasse announcement
County Fair
continued from pagel
Fair hours are 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Tuesday through Saturday and 11 a.m.
to 9 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $8 for
those older than 16, $6 for those 6 to
15 and free for children ages 5 and
younger. Reserve concert tickets are
$12.50, not including the cost of fair
admission, but tickets for bleacher and
festival seating for the concerts are free.
Last year, the fair set a record level
of attendance with 180,000 people
bringing in more than $555,000. Jane
Holloway, the co-marketing manager
of the fair, said the fair makes enough
profit that it does not need a subsidy
from the state, even with its packed
schedule of more than 450 events.
Unlike fairs in other parts of the
state, Lane County’s takes place in
the heart of the city. David Hinkley,
the chairman of the neighborhood
association that encompasses the
fairgrounds, said there are usually
/
few problems, but at times people
park illegally, litter and are loud.
But Hinkley said Fairgrounds Di
rector Mike Gleason takes effective
steps to lessen the fair's impact on
the neighborhood.
“The fairgrounds is being very
considerate," Hinkley said. "Those
of us who are aware of it are not
without our appreciation.”
He said during the shows, the event
staff have control over the amplifiers
so that decibel levels can be turned
down if the neighbors complain, and
fair workers place trash containers in
the neighborhoods so that trash won’t
accumulate in the street.
Although parking at the fair
grounds is free, fair organizers pay
the Lane Transit District $27,000 for
the week so that all rides anywhere
in the city cost only 25 cents and
special shuttles run every 15 to 20
minutes from the LTD Eugene Sta
tion, Valley River Center and South
Eugene High School.
