One reason this plan was preferred was that the employe could insure children without having to insure the spouse, who, in many instances, is insured with his company.

H.B. 1880 - The Mayor said H:B. k88U had been submitted and passed through the House of Representatives, calling for certain governor powers in connection with conflict that may arise on state campuses. The Human Rights' Commission, at i,ts meeting last evening, discussed the issue and had sent a wire to Senator Fadeley opposing hurried passage of the bill without adequate hearings, and proposing that ~heyreconsider and schedule further hearings. They opposed infringement on law enforcement rights of local govern- ments. The Human Rights Commission asked that the Council be informed of this bill, and comment or possibly take action. Mrs. Beal said she thought the bill reflected on the ability of the city to manage for itself, and moved seconded by Mrs. Hayward, that the Council go on.. record opposing H.B. 1880. Mrs. Beal said state police are not as well trained to handle these matters as city police, and might simply inflame and incite further trouble. This bill would take away authoritypreviotisly granted to the City under home rule. I I i' Mayor Anderson said the Council had not had a chance to review this bill, and he felt -it might be more advisable to appeal to the,'senate to conduct public hearings on this bill and g1.venari opportunity for review and testimony. Mr. Mohr felt the Council should take a position opposing ~he procedural process which this bill has gone through. It does hav,e some impact on local government, and the local government voice in Eugene has not been heard. The Council needs an opportunity for more deliberation. I I I j II II I! r II ! I I:.

Mrs. Hayward said everyone could be very gratified to the State Senate for having slowed down pro- ceedings. There is still a question whether the Council is in favor or opposed to the bill. !I Mrs. Ha~ard moved that the City Council of the city of Eugene go on record as o~posing H.B. 1880. Mr. Mohr seconded the motion. Mr. Mohr wondered if it would riot be proper to read in to the recQrd the telegram sent by the CQuncil to the Senate hearing of Monday of this week. I ~ ~\\ Telegram to the Senate Education Committee, Oregon State Senate, Salem, Oregon - From the view poirit of the cities and'local autho4ities, H.B. 1880 takes ~ f~ndamentaiiywrong- approach. It does no't address itself to the authority of institutions of higher education to make regula- tions concerning their buildings or grounds or to call on the Governor for assistance. Rather, H.B. 1880 gives orders directly to local police forces. H.B. 1880 directs local police to enforce this law, by excludirig designated classes of persons without indicating how police are 4/29J69-..;.) 8 e
