New child care facility to open By Carolyn I-ambenion (M IIm* Kammak! University students enabled the KMU Child Care and Development Centers to open another facility when Ballot Measure B was ap proved last week in the student election The center, to lie located at Westmoreland Family Housing beginning in the fall, will allow the program to provide day care for another 21 children at the maximum, said Dennis Reynolds, child care coordinator Measure 6 raised student incidental fees HI cents a term The additional funds will be used to make the part-time program assis tant/accounting clerk position a full-time position. The measure also re-established the full time assistant coordinator position, which ex isted before this year. Before the election, the child care center received a request from the Westmoreland Te nant’s Council to "establish and administer a pregram at Westmoreland,” Reynolds said. The CCDC currently runs six centers. Reynolds knew the program did not have the staffing to properly run a seventh center. "We have the staff to keep the program afloat, but that’s all.” he said. (nines Munyer. Westmoreland Tenants Council Child Care Committee chairman said he was enthused about the passage of the ballot measure, but sees a need for more reform. “It is exciting that we got this, but it's just one battle in the war.” he said, adding he would like to see “a full range of services for a full range of ages in children." Munyer plans to advocate for a diversion program designed to keep kids off the street and the eventual revamping of the entire child cam system. Beyond the establishment of the Westmoreland center, the child care program will be doing extensive research into how many parent-students attend the University and what their needs are. He said he also wants to look at how child cam facilities influence a parent-student s decision to attend the University. The addi tional staff will allow the program to do this, he added "We don't know what parent-student needs are. The University doesn’t keep data like that. No age breakdowns, no nothing," Reynolds said. Nuclear-free zone law sparks hearing debate By Will Holbert Of lb* Kmrrald Supporters and opponents of the Eugene Nuclear-Free Zone ordinance lashed out at each other during a public forum Thursday night. The ordinance making Eugene a nuclear-free /.one was approved during the last elec tion, but certain clauses in the odinance that conflict with state and federal law have left it u nenforc.eable. In the meantime, the city has established a 13-member task force to develop the ordinance into law. The purpose of last night's meeting was for the task force to receive "public input." "The people of Eugene have made a statement to the nation and the world that we welcome people and businesses who care about about our community.” said Peter O’Day. a scientist at the University and a supporter of the nuclear-free zone.

Opponents of the nuclear-free zone expressed anger at the clauses that prohibit civil defense. "1 find it abhorrent that a handful of left-wing idealists can get an ordinance enacted that threatens my very future.” said Ken Wullschleger of Eugene, a nuclear-free zone op ponent. Wullschleger also said the political atmosphere created by the nuclear-free zone frightened off business. Under the rules of the nuclear-free zone, a complete ban on any activities that have anything to do with nuclear weapons is technically in effect. This is in addition to a ban on nuclear power, nuclear waste disposal and transportation of nuclear weapons, fuel, or waste through the area. Finally, the rules of the ordinance forbid participation in civil defense plans for nuclear war. However, since problems of legality have cropped up, few steps have been taken to fully enact the rules. “The law is in effect, but not enforced,” said task force member Gerry Gaydos. meetings The International Studies Association will meet at 4 p.m. in Room 100 Hendricks Hall.
