Food From A Cooperative Grocery
BY TONY WASHINGTON
Food Front is located in Northwest
Portland. They have one of the largest
variety of organic products in the city.
They are a cooperative grocery with an
active membership in over 550 mem­
bers. Gregory Swetland is the Market­
ing Director and sights the demands for
organicgrown product increases all the
time. Since this is a co-op foodfront, it
is always seeking new members. Mem­
bership fee is $150.00 by installment,
and arrangements can be made. This
entitles you to a 5% discount on each
purchase.
S
an
The business continues to grow.
Swetland attributes this demand for
organic grown products to growing con­
cern in a healthier diet, less the chemi­
cals and preservatives.
Most products come from Califor­
nia depending on the season but Ore­
gon’s surrounding communities con­
tributes a good portion of the products
also. Seasonal products are always in
demand.There is a real possibility the
store will expand to the Northeast.
Food Front is a full service grocery
with a deli and a full line of Rachel
Perry cosmetics. Visit the store at:
2375 NW Thurman. Open to everyone.

Metro Task Force Recom m ends
Against Purchase Of Sears Building
The Relocation Task Force of the
Metropolitan Service District has de­
termined that the proposed purchase
and renovation of the Scars building at
524 NE Grand Ave., Portland, is not
feasible for Mct^i at this time.
Metro had been exploring the pos­
sibility of purchasing the building for
use as a permanent headquarters, but
notified the building's owner, Pacific
Development, Inc., of its intention to
not proceed with the sale on March 25.
In response, PDI has indicated an in­
tention to present a more affordable
plan to Metro before April 30, 1991.
The Metro task force determined
that the purchase and renovation of the
59-year-old structure would cost $25.8
Ä
I
million, a figure which exceeds the
agency’s original estimates. The Metro
Council had agreed last October to begin
a period of intense examination of costs
and conslruction/lcasing alternatives,
based on a purchase price of $5.15 mil­
lion.
Metro had planned to initially use
55,000 square feet of the four-story
183,000-squarc-foot building for of­
fice space, to convert one floor to park­
ing and to lease the remainder. Metro
currently leases 45,000 square feet at
2000 SW First Ave. in Portland.
The Relocation Task Force will
continue to explore other options for a
new headquarters site for Metro.

OSU Offering
Special Course
On M inority Issues
Spring Term
Oregon State D iversity (OSU) is
offering a special course on minority
issues spring term that will be taught by
two members of OSU’s Board of Visi­
tors for Minority Affairs. The course,
“ Minority Groups and Issues,” is de­
signed to provide students with an over­
view of concepts, myths and realities of
minority group interaction with Ameri­
can Society, say its instructors.
Teaching the course will be Phyllis
Lee, director of planning and develop­
ment for the northwest region of Kaiser
Permanente, and Kathleen D. Saadat,
Oregon’s director of affirmative action
under Gov. Neil Goldschmidt. Both are
on OSU’s board of visitors, which ad­
vises President John Byrne on minority
affairs.
The three-credit course, listed as
Sociology 437, is open to OSU students
and to members of the community
through OSU’s Office of Continuing
Higher Education. The five-week class
will run from April 5 to May 6, meeting
Fridays from 7-9 p.m., and Saturdays
from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
It is co-sponsored by OSU’s Col­
lege of Liberal Arts, the Department of
Sociology and the Office of Academic
Affairs.
“ The course is designed to com­
municate that minority groups are hetero­
genous - they’re not the same - and that
each one has its own characteristics and
faces life in a unique way,” said Jon
Hendricks, professor and chair of OSU’s
Department of Sociology.
‘ ‘This is not a course designed just
for minority persons,” Hendricks em ­
phasized. “ We want to demonstrate to
all students, and community persons
taking the class that the lives of us all
arc affected by the way the lives of
minority persons are affected.”
Non-OSU students interested in
taking the course should contact Ore­
gon Stale’s Office of Continuing Higher
Education, 737-2676.
