New child care facility to open
By Carolyn I-ambenion

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.

"We can be a model for other
towns and cities," said )oe
Spivack, another supporter.
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.
