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

posed improvements. The city
hopes to pavo these streets in
the spring or early summer.

in editing.
Last year's four editions of
the Orcgana followed a maga
zine format, and Pascman adopt
ed a similar approach this year.
He believes the Orcgana is more
interesting this way and the
quarterly schedule makes the
publication of events relatively
current.

dent publications, in research
and low rent housing.
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

the now-expired workable pro

on student reaction, found that
most of those who commented
early last year did not like the
four-unit Oregana format. 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.

Traffic Plan
Up for Study
The Eugene City Council Mon
day night will consider a com-
mittee-of-the-whcJe recommenda
tion of a plan to improve traffic
conditions on Seventh Avenue.
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.

'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.

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

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:

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."
