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.

Clark noted another benefit of
the military use of space is
su rv e i 114i ne e M e sa i d
surveillance is a May of "insur
ing continued stability because
each side knows what the other
is doing."
The general s|Hike of the need
to develop additional launching
capabilities other than NASA's,
lie said them will he a con
tinued reliance on NASA and
the shuttle program, but that we
need other methods to maintain
"assured access to space" in the
event of a NASA mishap such as
the Challenger's mid-air explo
sion last year
lie said the United States is
working on launch systems
such as the Titan 4 and Delta l.
hut they are .still in the
developmental stage.
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
