ECKAN election dispute subsides
Concern has subsided over the election for low-income voters. Douglas was appointed to the ECAX chair of director.
ECKAN is a funnel for distributing federal and local funds for charitable purposes in Douglas County and five surrounding counties. It was started in 1960 with a grant from the Office of Economic Opportunity.
An announcement in last week's Penn House newsletter cited difficulties in verifying that everyone participating in the Douglas County election was a low-income citizen. Two Penn House associates, Ocoee Miller, secretary, and Bess Nichols,
president, asked that their names be with-
hold the ballot for positions on the ECKAN board.
Miller said yesterday she originally had been concerned with the procedure of the election because she disapproved of the use of phone-in votes. ECKAN officials subsequently decided that phone-in votes wouldn't be allowed.
"The goal was terrific," she said, "but the procedure was ridiculous."
The reasons for the resignations, Miller said, were fears that the election would be too political and cause interagency problems. She declined to say which agen-
cities might have problems concerning the elections or what the problems might be.
"People on ECKAN's board of directors shouldn't already be busy on other agencies," she said. "They shouldn't have split commitments."
Greg Stock, ECKAN coordinator for Douglas County, said the election's credibility already had been damaged. He told The Miller's concern about split commitments.
He said ECKAN board members had a degree of control over how its funds were spent. Because Penn House also distributed funds, it could cause a conflict, he said.
terripte and local government from each county board, Stock said.
He said he understood why Miller and Nichols didn't want to get involved with ECKAN because of their involvement with the balloon on the bailout by the 500 clients, he said.
"It's up to low-income people to decide who they want as leaders," he said.
Stock said Miller and Nicholas were trying avoid old needles. He didn't specify what the needles were.
Harry Buchholz, director of the physical plant, has the same problem every fall when he decides to shut off air-conditioning and turn on furnaces in campus buildings.
Cool weather predicted; furnaces ready to blow
"We've got about a two-week period every semester that's awkward," he said. "And once the decision has been made it's just too difficult to change."
Buchholz said that as outside temperatures rose, his office received several complaints that buildings were too hot. Most complaints were checked, he said, because they could have indicated a faulty thermostat.
All eligible voters had been mailed notices, Stock said. They can vote at city hall, at specified social service agencies or at other headquarters, 710 Massachusetts St.
"We usually try to explain that the weather outside is also leading to the heat that we are experiencing."
The target date for turning on the heat is Oct. 15. Buchholz said yesterday that reports he received last week from the National Weather Service indicated cool weather was here to stay. Building and ground employees spent part of last week turning on the heat to classrooms and offices.
He said one of the most difficult buildings to regulate temperatures in was Summerfield Hall. Heat coming through windows on the building's south side often causes false thermostat readings in the winter, he said.
"What really upsets me," Stock said, "is that many people have told me that this is the best ECKAN election they have ever seen."
The board comprises nine members, three from local government, three from private enterprise and three low-income representatives.
The low-income representatives select the six other board members. Priorities and funding decisions are set by a six-county board, which appoints an executive from low-income members, private en-

It's the first time an effort has been made to reach a large number of people in need.
