    Halloweeners fund World Day tour
By Michele Matassa
Of the Emerald
A new international organization called World
Day will host a Halloween party and dance Saturday,
Oct. 29 from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Eugene Hilton.
Income from the dance, which costs $7.50 per
person and is closed to those under 21, will fund a
worldwide tour by the group's leaders.
With this party and a recent publicity drive for
World Day, Eugene residents Brian Livingston and
Nancy Hansen are sowing seeds they hope will grow
into an international grassroots movement toward
world cooperation.
Livingston and Hansen are co-presidents of
World Day, which is planning festivals and rallies in
major cities around the world on June 21, 1986.
Along with several county and city officials, the two
leaders announced the group's formation at a press
conference last week.
Livingston said peace activists at June's Planetary
Congress in Toronto, Canada, conceived the idea of
a worldwide network working for international
cooperation.
Livingston was selected to lead the new organiza
tion and decided to base World Day in Lane County
because the area is relatively small and supportive of
grassroots movements, he said.
“Eugene is the headquarters because it's a small,
out-of-the-way place. The international stages of this
are best done in a place that's out of the way of the
focus of attention," Livingston said.
The organization’s members want their message
to reach citizens around the world in their own
language, he said. The message shouldn't come from
a central place, which might happen if World Day
was based in a large city, Livingston said.
Until a central meeting of organizers in New York
next month, the Eugene headquarters will serve as a
"clearinghouse of information" for the project.
Next spring, they will begin a month-long world
tour, visiting all the countries they hope will organize
1986 celebrations. The tour will include Belgium,
Yugoslavia, Egypt, India, japan, Mexico and Brazil.
By celebrating international cooperation. World
Day activists hope to promote thinking which fosters
a "win-win" situation instead of one where one side
always loses, Livingston said.
"(World Day) is not a win-lose situation. When
you get into that, you wind up in a lose-lose situa
tion," he said.
University seeks cue on computers
By Doug Nash
Of the Emerald
The University will go before
the State Board of Higher Educa
tion Friday to seek the necessary
authorization for its new
microcomputer center located in
the Condon building.
The project, formally called the
Center for Advanced Technology
in Education, will allow the
University to consolidate
computer-oriented programs in
the Department of Education.
In addition, center planners
hope to be able to form a consor
tium of state agencies that will use
the center to study the problems
of utilizing computers and
technology in education.
"Our long-range plan is to

create one of the most productive
and best centers for technology in
education in the United States
through the cooperative efforts of
many people and agencies," the
University's report to the state
board says.
That long-range goal should be
achieved in about five years,
Education Dean Robert Gilberts
estimates. Furthermore, he
forsees no setbacks in the board's
ultimate approval of the center.
"We have a really unique set of
resources here," Gilberts says. "I
expect that they (the board) will
be pleased to see people taking a
fairly concerted initiative."
In other board action, the
University of Oregon Foundation
will report that its total fiscal year
1982-83 income exceeded $7
million, of which more than $6
million came from gifts. A major
portion of that came from a $3
million contribution last year by
the William Harris estate to sup
port the Fund for the Study of
Women.
"Both dollar amounts are the
highest levels on record," the
Foundation's report says.
The installation of a $250,000
Wang computer last year "will
significantly increase capability in
the areas of alumni relations, fun
draising, and business affairs,"
the report adds.
The Foundation's total net
worth now stands at $17.5 million.
