Martin Luther King's dreams displayed in capsule By John Wayland Of Him* t mrr«l«i A lime capsule filled with memorabilia from the life .ind work of Dr. Marlin Luthnr king Jr. will Im> displayed in Eugene on Thursday during the final leg of its nationwide tour The seven-foot long. 500-pound exhibit tiegan its ll.S lour April 27 from the steps of the Capitol in Washington. D C The capsule will he displayed at the Eugene Centre, between the Hull and the Milton, from ‘I to It a m. 'I'he Oregon Commission on Black Affairs and the City of Eugene's Commission on the Rights of Minorities are spun soring the Iih.iI display of the time capsule. which contains i opies of king's six books, tapes of Ills speeches, personal letters and press reactions to his activ Hies. The shoe* he wore during civil rights marches in Mem phis also will lie buried along with his mix* and Bible. The capsule has been ex hibited in 75 cities and will be In Portland and Salem on Wednesday. The exhibit travels to Medford following the Kugene exhibition. Carol Freeman, spokesperson of the Martin Luther King |r Federal Holiday Commission, said "We knew that everyone would not be able to come to Washington, so wo wanted to give city officials and governors a n opportunity to pul something in it." she said A videotape of the Hugene ex hibition will be submitted to the federal commission and "even tually they will make a highlight tape of the various programs" ticross the country and place it in the capsule. Joe Wade of the Oregon Commis sion fin Black Affairs said By bringing the time capsule to the state "we hope to raise people's sensibility relative to the contributions to American society of Martin bother King." Wadi- said. In addition to heightening the awareness of the American peo ple. the tour was conceived to perpetuate the legacy of l)r. King through the continuation of the Martin Luther king |r. federal Holiday Commission. T h e c om mhsfon was established bv Congress in 1985 and expires April 20. 1989. The commission set a $1 million goal to be reached through $1 contributions from citizens across the country. The money will be invested and used to establish state cominit lees to promote the federal holi day honoring king that is observed on the third Monday in January. Individuals who make a con tribution will have their name, city and state "micro-inscribed on a microchip by IBM." com mission accountant John Har ckley said. However, the money is not coming in as projected, Har cklev added "To date. I've posted about $4,000." toward the $1 million goal, he said. He also outlined a direct-mail campaign as another method for getting "grassroots contributions." Raising money to support the holiday by establishing state committees is the commissions ultimate goal, but operating the van transporting the time cap sule may l>e a more urgent financial concern. "We'll have to stop it in September due to a lack of funds,” commission spokesper son Donna Wells said. After Septeml>er, "if groups or universities want to see it, we are asking that they pay all the expenses,” she said. The capsule will be buried on “a piece of land in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue near 14th,” Barckley said. After it is buried, the site will be lighted 24 hours a day and viewed by those who drive between the White Mouse and the Capitol. When the time capsule is unearthed 100 years later. Bar ckley hopes it will "cause the country to think and reflect on Dr. king's dream.” Individuals who wish to donate $1 and have their names placed in the time capsule can obtain forms at the Kugene Public Library. Clergy and I.aity Concerned, or the Kugene City Manager's office.

Responding to a question concerning what we are doing to protect our space programs. (Mark said we need an air launched interceptor for protec tion similar to what the Soviets already have, but attempts for funding have been nqieatedly refused by Congress. He said the plans an* then* for such pn> fective systems, but the resources are not. Clark also spoke briefly alMiut military waste, saying the public hears about it and remembers it because of the at tention the press gives it. He said there are wastes in the military, but he doesn't want to see an inordinate amount of resources go into investigative purposes because the resources are so limited. Clark finished his remarks by quoting a late colleague of his who said, "Defense and deter rence are not evil concepts — we must use them until we find something better." "In terms of history, the space age is just beginning in terms of application, the future is now," Clark added Clark's luncheon appearance was a meeting of Eugene's Defense Education Committee in conjunction with the Eugene Area Air force Association and the Navy League £mu > WE 4 RESPECT YOUR SANDWICH At the Deli, we make your sandwich the way you like it!
