The Eugene chapter of PSR

members Eugene Drs Glenn
Gordon and James Walker are
co-chairs of the chapter.
The 16,000-member PSR has
more than I60 chapters The
group has expanded to repre
‘Nuclear war would be the
last epidemic our civili
zation would ever know.’
»ein me vjmieu oictiea m d
related international organiza
tion called International Phy
sicians for the Prevention of
Nuclear War, Inc.
The views and objectives of
both organizations were sum
marized by Dr Howard Hiatt of
the Harvard School of Public
Health when he wrote “Recent
talk by public figures about our
winning or even surviving a nu
clear war must reflect a wide
spread failure to appreciate a
medical reality: any nuclear war
would inevitably cause death,
disease, and suffering of
epidemic proportions and with
out effective medical interven
tion Prevention is therefore es
sential."
According to Hiatt, “Nuclear
war would be the last epidemic
our civilization would ever
know "
The theme of nuclear preven
tion has prompted physicians
from all over the country to join
in an effort to inform the public
of how the medical community
views nuclear warfare and its
effects. The group's presenta
tions and writings are intended
to show that the medical com
munity would be incapable of
responding to the needs of nu
clear war victims. The group
also disagress with Defense
Department claims that evacua
tion plans, fallout shelters and
contingency hospital systems
civilian defenses in
the event of a nu
clear confrontation
The PSR was
formed in 1961 by a
group of physicians
in the Boston area
concerned by the
iack of data on the
mcuiLdi ciiui nucicai wai
The founding members re
searched the effects of a ther
mo-nuclear attack on Massa
chusetts, a medical and de
fense industry center, and
found that effective medical re
sponse to such an attack did not
exist.
Since its founding, PSR has
testified before Congress on the
medical aspects of nuclear war
and before city councils and
other governmental bodies
across the country on the futility
of civil defenses. The organiza
tion has also helped organize
campus teach-ins and Ground
Zero Week events TIME
magazine has called PSR “the
most effective group in the anti
nuclear movement.”

Park amphitheater opens
Next summer Eugeneans will be able to hear more than just
their car stereos at Alton Baker Park, as music fills an amphitheater
recently completed
Lane County built the amphitheater this summer for a wide
range of acts or groups, says Craig Starr. Lane County public
services superintendent
"It’s a cultural facility for plays, concerts and other kinds of
performances that can take place in an outdoor setting," he says
The park's new addition also provides a forum for public speakers
and fund raisers, he says
The amphitheater cost about $ 180.000 in donations and grants
to build, Starr says There was some federal grant money, but most
of it was donated by the Eugene and Springfield Rotary Clubs, he
says
Starr and members of the County Parks and Recreation Board
are working on an intergovernmental agreement that puts
responsibility of the structure in the hands of the City of Eugene
Under the agreement, the city would take charge of
scheduling, advertising and maintainence of the amphitheater The
city would also do some recruitment to start the public using the
facility on a regular basis, Starr says
County officials decided to transfer responsibility to the city
because "This is not something the county has experience with,"
says Starr
