component ''i» the key to this
whole controversy." Potter
said
According to one of the pro
posals In the forthcoming
report, component 'means any
device or material which is
originally produced or
manufactured for exclusive use
as part of a nuclear weapon.”
The other proposal contains a
broader definition and calls it
“a product or material which is
originally produced, designed
or manufactured with the major
purpose or function being to
contribute to the use of a
nuclear weapon, delivery
svstem, or defensive system "
The definitions of nuclear
weapon, delivery system and
defensive system also differ in
the report's two proposals.
"In some sense these were
compromises of the original or

dinance.” said Steve Johnson,
vice-chairman of the task force
According to Johnson, the
proposal with the broader
definitions was spearheaded by
City Counci I woman Cynthia
Wooten, who also served on the
task force
*'lt was a narrowing — but
was faithful to the original or
dinance." Johnson said.
"(Wooten) helped draft one of
the recommendations that did
survive It's been characterized
as a compromise but that
depends on who you ask." Pot
ter said
According to Keller, "the two
scopes that are going to be for
warded to the City Council are
the most right-wing versions of
the scope."
Willard, on the other hand,
said the language of the original
ordinance lacked clarity
"The language of the or
dinance was written in a man
tier that did not give a clear
understanding to people
whether they'd fall within pro
hibition," Willard said.
The task force was divided,
for the most part, on
philosophical grounds. Johnson
said One faction said the or
di nance hurt the recruitment o
new business into the area; th*
other said it actually improver
the business atmosphere. h<
said
Although the ordinanc*
received 58 percent of the vot*
during the November 1986 elec
tion. some members of the tasl
force carried around an attitude
of 'the public be damned — wt
know best," Johnson said.
However. Johnson said then
was plenty of discussion befon
the election over the ordinance
including public meetings
three F.ugene Register-C.uarc
editorials and the distributior
of thousands of copies of th*
original ordinance tc
households by Citizen Actior
for lasting Security.
"These people went out ol
their way. They did better thar
the city does in things like
this." Johnson said
Willard, however, contested
Johnson's assertion that voters
were educated about the
ordinance.
"Literature from CALS noted
only the ordinance banned
nuclear weapons and com
ponents specifically produced
to make weapons." she said.

“lust because an ordinance is
enacted doesn't mean its not
unconstitutional or shouldn't
be changed." Willard added
Although the scope of the or
dinance was the area of major
change, enforcement also was
affected with the task force's
recommendation to switch from
an elected board to an ap
pointed board.
“That was the one com
promise people were willing to
make." lohnson said.
One of the main reasons for
the switch was the realization
that the City Council would
never approve of an elected
board.
“The City Council hates
anything being elected besides
themselves." Johnson said.
There also were concerns that
a pro-business faction could
“buy" future elections, he said.
According to Potter, the task
force will meet at least twice
before the City Council official
ly receives the report on Dec.. 7,
but chances of resolving the
conflict over the proposals is
slim at best.
“They made a Herculian ef
fort to find the middle ground
»nd couldn't find it.” Potter
said.
Willard said any meetings of
the task force, besides a public
forum scheduled for October,
“have not been discussed."
There also are questions re
maining over the legality of the
City Council changing an or
dinance passed by voters,
lohnson said.
For his part, Potter believes
otherwise. "It's legal for the Ci
ty Council to amend ordinances
regardless of their origins." he
said.

there will be text on line."
Shipman said, referring to a
process that would allow text to
iw transferred from the library’s
computers to private home
computers.
“There's practically no limit
on what you can do; however,
there is also no limit on the
cost," he said.
Shipman has worked long
and hard to instigate the
system, worth almost $800,000
Starting in 1978, the library
entered all the catalog records
into INNOVACQ but maintain
ed the cards. From 1980 to
1980, Shipman submitted three
Program Improvement Requests
to the Oregon State System of
Higher Education. Although
OSSHK approved the requests,
all three were not funded by the
state legislature
"We got no place. Finally, we
were allotted $55.(XM). but that
is nowhere near what we need
ed." Shipman said
Additional funding was con
tributed by Bill and Barbara
Bowerman Shipman said that
the remainder of the (valance
will U’ paid by the money saved
from abandoning the card
catalog and Computer Output
Microfiche systems.
Although automated systems
rarely save any money in the
long run, Shipman said that the
real savings come in the extra
time that such a system affords
library employees
“We an* grossly understaffed
What an automated system does
is it allows us to be faster and
more detailed We then have a
Ivetter idea of how we am spen
ding our money ”
