Page 4B EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Sunday, Jan. 21, 1M2 In Four Sections UO Yearbook Now By RALPH OLIVE 01 tin Rf UttfCutra Using the term "yearbook,1 when referring to the Universi ty of Oregon s Oregana, is a little like calling Newsweek a monthly. The traditional yearbook at the University of Oregon is now a quarterly. Starting last year, the staff decided to publish the Orcgana in four sections win ter, fall and spring, and one on housing. Although there was some grumbling among the students, the idea was accepted or at least it wasn't rejected. So the Oregana staff is now busy put ting the 1061-62 book out on the same basis the fall edition will be off the press soon, prob ably late this month. Normally, explained Editor Lloyd Pase man, it takes about one month after the close of each term to finish printing the Oregana. Pascman, a junior majoring In journalism, is quite enthusi astic about the new production fchedule. "It may not be easier, but it certainly is more interesting this way," Paseman said. There are both handicaps and advantages. "We're necessarily more rushed," Paseman said. "We have three deadlines instead of one." Although there are four books, the housing issue is published simultaneously with the winter issue. Even though there are more deadlines, the new method has the advantage of spreading the work more evenly through the year.. Under tho once-a-year system, Pascman said, the work had a tendency to pile up until spring. More care is taken now, Pase man believes. Since the staff members aren't faced with Three Street Paving Jobs Before Springfield Council Springfield councilmcn Mon day evening are expected to pass resolutions to initiate three street improvement projects. At a 7:30 meeting . at the Springfield City Hall, these pav ing projects are scheduled to be Initiated: N Street from one-half block west of Mill Street to Laura Street, and Water Street from N Street northward for a distance of 55 feet. J Street from one-half block west of Mill Street to Kelly Boulevard. C Street from 26th to 28th streets. If the resolutions are ap proved, the council then sched ule public hearings on the pro posed improvements. The city hopes to pavo these streets in the spring or early summer.

Last year's four editions of the Orcgana followed a maga zine format, and Pascman adopt ed a similar approach this year.

The resolution makes these provisions: No future urban re newal or low rent housing proj ects will be initiated in the city without a favorable vote of the people. The resolution also provides that there will be no expansion of the existing urban renewal area or major expansion of the current low rent housing project without a vote of the people. If the resolution is approved Monday night, the council may also decide whether to submit to the federal Housing and Home Finance Agency an ap plication for rcccrtification of the now-expired workable pro gram.

Yet they bought it sales were just as high as ever. In a few later samplings of student opinion, favorable reac tion ranged from 30 per cent to 51 per cent. Metzlcr, noting that the public is generally slow to accept any change, believes the idea will gradually gain in popularity.

The plan calls for the widen ing of the Seventh Avenue ap proach ramp to the Ferry Street overpass, and the creation of three traffic lanes on Seventh Avenue west to Olive Street. This would require the removal of existing parking spaces from both sides of the street west to Pearl and from only the south side on west to Olive. The council will also have be fore it a committee-of the-whole recommendation to withhold en dorsement of a beer license ap plication for a proposed tavern and restaurant at 65 Country Club Rd. A delegation of resi dents protested the request at the last council meeting. The council will hold public hearings on a number of recom mendations on zoning issues con sidered by the Eugene Planning Commission at its Jan. 2 meet ing. One of the issues, a request for rezonlng to commercial use of property at 2428 Willamette St., will not be before the coun cil Monday night, according to City Manager Hugh McKinley. This item was withdrawn from last Thursday's committee agen da, at the applicants request, and will be considered at a later date, McKinicy said. The council will meet at 7:30 p.m. in the council chambers at the city hall.

Traditional excellence that you expect and receive at N' 13th iAR -'1 I JjHK.'- ' j VoOQ Springfield core sample Rf the sample to .OL rotted that it 'Needle' By MARVIN TIMS Of the Reg Ister-Gumrd About nine months ago a truck accidentally backed into a Springfield Municipal Power pole on Main Street, nudging the pole fairly gently. To the amazement of the driver, the pole snapped and crashed into the street. Max thompson, the utility's veteran line superintendent, was amazed too. He knew the pole was only about 10 years old and supposed to be sound. A quick inspection of the pole's shattered end revealed wide spread rot. Only the outside shell had been holding the pole up. Thompson, who has been with the public utility since 1950, conferred with Jack Cris well, utility board superintend ent, about the possibility of rot in other poles. The two men quickly decided a comprehen sive study should be conducted to determine the seriousness of the problem. Core Samples Thompson and his crews drilled core samples from all of the utility's more than 1,000 poles. They took the samples from points near ground level the area where rot is most like ly to develop because of exces sive moisture. ilEVCRa paint color problem when y oil use .

Most of the pole the left of the fingers is so badly rot exists at or near ground level. is almost like powder. The wood May Help Solve Pole Rot "Our study showed that be tween 5 and 10 per cent of the poles had some rot," Thompson said. "We realized It was im portant to attempt to develop a program to preserve these poles before the rot spread to the danger point." Criswell pointed out, too, that the core samples may have missed "pockets of rot" nearby. "A lot more than 5 per cent of our poles could have a rot prob lem," he said. What causes rot In the first place? Thompson said the poles are impregnated with a preserv ative before they are installed. This preservative, however, may only go into the pole to a depth of an inch or two. After a few years, some poles tend to crack open. Fungus spores, ever pres ent in the air, enter these cracks and come to rest inside the "treated ring" of the pole. 'Active' Spores If the area is near ground level where moisture problems are usually present, the spores become "active," developing into plants. They attack the wood, converting it to a pow dery, crumbling pulp devoid of structural strength. It quickly became apparent to Thompson and Criswell that if some method could be devised to "wall off" the pockets of rot, the life of existing poles could Choose from over 10001000 Custom-Made Colon at Popular Prices AUTHORIZED be extended many years, saving countless dollars. It may cost an estimated $150 just to change a pole with relatively few wires on it. Some poles along Main Street, that carry numerous wires, may cost as much as $2,000 to replace. Thompson, after considerable thought, has come up with an idea that might stop the rot problem. He points out, how ever, that his idea is still in the experimental stage and needs more testing. 'Needle Process He has developed a "hypo dermic needle" process for in troducing preservatives deep in to the core of the pole. Here is how it works: A drill tool is twisted into a pole to remove a core sample. r i .1 Quick Recovery COMPLETELY INSTALLED REPLACEMENT INSTALLATION ar joy you get from its performance . . . the respect you receive with its ownership . . . the confidence you feel when you drive it . . . and the elegance that surrounds you. Visit your Cadillac dealer and discover how wise and how wonderful it is to own the "car of cars." Ccacy DEALER If rot is detected, a homemade "injection needle" is screwed into the hole made by the drill. Attached to the hollow needle (about three-eighths of an inch in diameter) is a rubber tube which in turn is connected to a pump on a pickup truck. A wood preservative which also contains arsenic to kill ter mites and beetles, is forced through the tubing and needle under a pressure of about 100 pounds per square inch. The liquid follows any fissures up or down, eventually surround ing and walling off the rot pock et. "We have lots of experiment ing to do yet," Thompson said, "but if we can prevent existing rot from causing additional damage, we will really have something."
