Students Favor Commission for
Off-Street Parking in Medford
The student, city council last
night during a Student Govern
ment Day mock council meet
ing approved a resolution to es
tablish a five-man parking com
mission in Medford which would
set up an off-street parking pro
gram in the downtown city area.
Student Mayor Mike Stearns
pointed out the five-man com
mission would be responsible
for determining method of fi
nancing and arranging the pro
gram. Councilwoman from ward III,"
Diana Russell, said present fa
cilities down town are inade
quate. '
The student council also
joined the regular city council
in approving the proposed Bear
Creek - Hawthorne park route
for construction of the Highway
99 freeway.
Parking Area
Student City Manager James
Boyd said a parking area could
possibly be constructed under
the overpass and . that decelera
tion lanes from the freeway for
traffic access into Medford could
be provided.
Student City Engineer Ken
Arnold said it was the most fea
sible route from an engineering
standpoint.
Ken Kumasawa, student chair
man of budget commission, said
the city will benefit economical
ly from the route through Med
ford. Arguing against the free
way, Councilman from ward
III, Wayne Zimmers, said resi
dents in the immediate freeway
area would suffer a loss in prop
erty values.
Regulatory Ordinance
A regulatory ordinance was
adopted giving city police au
thority to restrict solicitations
by itinerant salesmen in Med
ford. At the request of Council
man from ward IV, Dan Chris-
tianson, an amendment was
passed to control all forms of
solicitations by communication,
including by telephone.
Bob Bright, student manager
of the Jackson County Cham
ber of Commerce, told the coun
cil that professional promoters
often "hoodwink" Medford busi
nessmen and make "exorbi
tant" profits. He added this
form of solicitation drains the
Medford area of about $800,000
annually,
A proposed "scramble sys
tem" at Main st. and Central
ave., allowing pedestrians to
walk in all directions with spe
cial traffic lights to relieve con
gestion at the intersection, was
defeated. Student Councilman
from ward IV, David Espey,
said such a system would "add
to the congestion."
Favor Proposal
Bill Frake, student chairman
of the city planning commission,
which favored the proposal,
said "scramble walks" at the
Eighth and Sixth st. intersec
tions at Central ave., would be
feasible in connection with the
proposed one-way street pro
gram for Medford. Christiansen
indicated the system would be
premature before construction
of the proposed freeway
through Medford.
An ordinance was' adopted
prohibiting the possession of or
selling switchblade knives in
Medford when Mayor Steams
broke a 4-4 deadlock of the
council. The ordinance was pre
sented by Student Police Chief
Eldon Francis. It supplements a
present ordinance that a knife
which has a blade more than 3V4
inches long, cannot be carried.

MEDFORD, OREGON
Student Councilman from
ward II, Bob Glover, cautioned,
however, that outlawing switch
blades could make carrying
knives more of a challenge for
youths. Diana Russell added
that juveniles might also resort
to more dangerous weapons.
Teenage Center
The student council also ap
proved a teenage center for
Medford. Student City Attorney
Jerome Garris said reasons for
the proposal were due to in
creased population and a pres
ent lack of recreational facili
ties for city youth.
Another ordinance adopted
provides a program to beautify
and reinforce banks along Bear
creek. The ordinance provides
that trees, shrubs, grass and
plant be planted along Bear
creek. A street tree planting
program for Medford also was
approved.
Also participating in the mock
council session were Scots Phil
lips, student councilman from
ward I; Jane Barker, student
councilwoman from ward I;
Joyce Gregory, student council
woman from ward II; Pete Ker
shaw, student public works di
rector; and Pat Leek, student
city recorder.
Espey, St. Mary's High school
student, substituted on the coun
cil for jack Birmingham, select
ed as student councilman from
ward IV. Birmingham, also of
St. Mary's, could not attend the
meeting. Others were Medford
High school students.
The mock council session
started at 7:30 p.m. following
the regular council meeting
which met an hour earlier so it
could transact its business.
City firemen conducted dem
onstrations of fire apparatus yes
terday for representatives of

University Millwork
Shop Draws Protest
Salem U.R) The Univer
sity of Oregon millwork shop
came under fire last night at a
public hearing before a subcom
mittee of the Joint Ways and
Means committee.
Representatives of five Ore
gon woodworking concerns pro
tested the competition they
faced against the shop.
Chancellor John R. Richards
of the State Board of Higher
Education told the committee
that the system was virtually
forced into doing its own mill
work. Most of the machinery
and structures involved were
obtained from surplus property
from the federal government.
A spokesman representing
several private woodworking
concerns said the state system
saved an estimated $60,000 on
a construction project on the
Oregon State campus.
The university did not have to
meet specfications which pri
vate contractors must and also
would not have the same quality
of inspection standards to meet,
the spokesman said.
Delay in Klamath
Termination Voted
Washington OJ.R) --The Sen
ate Interior committee yester
day approved unanimously a
bill which would postpone until
the end of the 85th Congress
termination of government su
pervision over the Klamath In
dians in Oregon.
The bill by Sen. Richard L.
Neuberger (D.-Ore.) also would
authorize appropriation of $1.1
million to reimburse the tribe
for the cost of termination pro
ceedings. -
Neuberger said the legislation
is "imperative" to prevent one
of the nation's "greatest stands
of Ponderosa pine, from being
sold under bargain - basement
conditions which would uproot
the watershed, cheat the Indians
and weaken the economy of our
state."
Neuberger said the bill will
be formally reported to the Sen
ate later this week and he
hoped for its "early consideration."

Building Tumbles;
Four Known Dead
Rio de Janeiro (U.R) More
than 100 firemen and policemen
sifted through a grotesque hill of
broken masonry and twisted
girders today for victims caught
in the collapse of an 11-story
building.
At least four persons were
missing and presumed dead.
Twenty-two others were injured,
including a worker who had
been standing on top of the
building inspecting a threaten
ing crack when it collapsed.
Police said there was no way
of knowing exactly how many
persons' were buried under the
debris until the search is com
pleted. The building, which was con-,
demned for occupation last week,
began cracking about 2 . p.m.
Tuesday. Three hours later it
buckled and collapsed with a
tremendous roar into an adjacent
lot where workmen were con
structing a new building.
One office worker who left
the building just before it folded
said it was "the worst thing I've
ever seen in my life. Nothing
in the movies could compare
with it."
