IN BRIEF
Small fire forces students
to evacuate Friendly Hall
Friendly Hall was evacuated briefly
Monday afternoon because of a small
electrical fire.
Department of Public Safety officers
and the Eugene Fire Department re
sponded to the fire, which took place
shortly after 1 p.m. in an office in the
basement of the 112-year-old building.
The fire was already extinguished
when firefighters arrived, and aside
from a discharged fire extinguisher,
there were few signs that a fire had oc
curred. DPS Lieutenant Herb Horner
said his initial assessment didn’t indi
cate any damage to the building.
Horner said a cord from an old hot
pot had melted down, causing the fire.
“It was just at the end of its life,”
Horner said of the electric kettle.
Classes were briefly interrupted and
students evacuated, but ultimately the
fire was only a minor inconvenience.
Sophomore Bonnie Wienecke said
she was sitting in German class when
the fire alarm went off. After the evac
uation, rumors circulated that the
alarm was only a joke, she added.
“We were going to have a quiz to
day,” Wienecke said.

Oregon delegation seeks to
preserve military presence
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Oregon
lawmakers have sent letters to the
head of a base-closing commission
asking him to spare the state’s
military installations.
Sens. Ron Wyden and Gordon
Smith and Rep. Greg Walden said Air
National Guard bases in Portland and
Klamath Falls “play a crucial role in se
curing the nation’s borders and pro
tecting the United States.”
The letter cited the Portland-based
142nd Fighter Wing and 939th Air Re
fueling Wing and the 173rd Fighter
Wing in Klamath Falls.
They also asked that the Army’s
Umatilla chemical weapons depot in
eastern Oregon be spared.
The state’s four Democratic House
members sent a similar letter to Prin
cipi. The letter, from Reps. David Wu,
Earl Blumenauer, Peter DeFazio and
Darlene Hooley, is virtually identical
except it does not mention of the
Umatilla depot.
The depot stores about 7.4 mil
lion pounds of deadly nerve and
blister agents.

PSAC: Leader believes ASIIO delayed issue
Continued from page 1
He said PSAC leaders requested a
grievance form and created a guide
sheet showing how much Portland
students have paid in incidental fees
based on the number of years they
have been in Portland.
“We tried to take a lot of the leg
work out and let people know what
was going on,” he said.
Blackwell said Erickson and Sen
ate President James George told him
the Senate has difficulty reaching
quorum and will soon experience a
high turnover rate, perhaps limiting
its ability to act.
“1 got the impression from them ...
that it won’t be resolved this term,
that it may be continued to next
year,” he said.
Blackwell said the grievances
aren’t focused on reimbursement as
much as bringing attention to the fact
that the group’s concerns haven’t
been resolved.
“The overall goal is to obviously
eliminate this problem that occurs
every year and that’s getting the serv
ices up here,” he said. “We feel cheat
ed, and in all honesty we made, I
thought, some pretty strong efforts."
He said the group may
send copies of the grievances to
University administrators.
“We feel like the ASUO, while their
intentions may be good, we don’t
know that they’re going to get the job
done,” he said. “It’s gotten to the
point where it’s just outrageous.”
He added that ASUO leaders didn’t
immediately deal with the problem
and waited before responding that
they couldn’t address the issue.
“They used it as a stall tactic,” he
said. “How many months did it really
take them to figure that out?”
He said the group wants to focus
on events and coursework “rather
than waste our time worrying about
bus fare. ”
Blackwell added that there is a per
ception among Portland students that
administrators are ignoring the
group’s concerns because many
of the students in the group will
graduate this year.
But he said attendance of PSAC
meetings has been consistent and
the group recently held elections for
next year.
“It’s been really promising how
much of a turnout we’ve had,”
he said.
