Economic Development Conference on Community and Worker Buyouts The measure which created the Oregon Lottery requires that the net proceeds be devoted to the state's economic development. Among the economic develop ment programs designed by the 1985 Oregon Legislature was Sen ate Bill 666, which creates the Oregon Stabilization and Conver sion Fund. The purpose of the $2 million fund is to permit feasi bility studies and partially fund buyouts of closed mills and plants, with first preference going to community and worker buy outs. SB 666 offers direct hope to our communities rocked by closures of important local industries. It is an imaginative piece of legislation inspired by Beldon Daniels, MIT consultant and international banker. SB 666 places Oregon in the forefront of states which are taking up the challenges facing local economies shattered by the extensive international economic restructuring now underway. In order to familiarize con cerned persons on the regional, community, church and worker level, two UO students, who fol lowed the evolution of SB 666 while doing internships at the 1985 legislature, are working with University, labor and church groups to put together a national level conference on worker and community buyouts and SB 666 in Eugene in the fall of this year. If you or your group would like to help organize a fall conference on community and worker own ership and SB 666, you may at tend a meeting at Koinonia Center, 1414 Kincaid on Thursday evening, August 8 at 7:30 pm.

Dear Editor: Have we had the last of the ‘1 am a vic tim of the Oregon State Lottery" articles in your paper? Please use the space for another film review. Thanks. —Olaf Hansen Protest: Riverfront Project Dear Editor: Eugene's small size, interest in and support of small business, and close community spirit attracted me to Eu gene. Eugene is the most special place I have lived in. I hear this often from other Eugene residents; they feel it, too. The Agenda/Riverfront Park Project will ruin Eugene's specialness. Eugene will become another ugly big city. I don't want this. I want - Eugene, to remain small, special, nurturing, vital and en vironmentally aware. The Eugene (Obie's) Agenda—Ri verfront Research Park Project is be ing "shared" with the people of Eugene after its governmental body has al ready decided its plan of action. This is not involving the people's partici pation. This shows a tremendous social irresponsibility on the part of our elected officials and public em ployees. I am convinced that the jobs/careers involved in this proposed project will be given to people outside Oregon. Jobs here should go to the local people —here.. Not long ago, many people entered the computer/high tech field; the pro mise was careers for everyone. Now that field is in a slump. California's Silicon Valley is an example. The peo ple who devise and implement such money-making schemes are not will ing to really look at the long-term ef fects of such a plan, at the destruction it will cause. I propose an alternative—small, light industry encouraging local em ployment. Use the millions of dollars to be used for Obie's Agenda to en courage small local entrepeneurs to create new business in already-existing structures, and to expand existing business. —Nan Cohen Letters to the Editor should be typed, signed, and no longer than 250 words.
