Programmer missing
after computer crash
(AP) - Tho crash of u SI 4 million computer network after its
programmer vanished has drawn the state Justice Department Into
the investigation.
Tod Fabre hud croatod a nationul computer network from his of
fice at the University of Oregon to help tho disabled keep up with
changes in technology that could help them, officials said
Tho "SERIES" network, developed during the past five years
with fodoral grants, crashed on July 27, said Hill Walker, an associ
ate dean of special education. Walker oversaw the project as direc
tor of tho university's Contcr on Human Development.
Fabre has been missing for nearly two weeks
However, he contacted The Rogistar-Guard in Eugene and told
tho newspaper ho was stuying on the Oregon (xiast to cope with the
stress of the computer crash. He did not disclose h:s i xact where
abouts.
Tho program eliminated a service many disabled people rolled
on, said his colleague, Lane Hoxworth.
The network has 1,100 subscribers it began operating in Febru
ary 1088 and offered its usors an electronic mail system, public
conferences, group meetings, access to databases, a document li
brary and a software exchange.
Fabre said he recently deleted all but the most current copy of
the computer program to eliminate out-of-date information. He said
a programmer who tested the remaining copy accidentally deleted
the computer network and all data that was stored in it.
“it’s kind of ironic that I'd talked to the programmer a few times
before and cautioned him about setting up uny kind of links where
that was possible." Fabre said.
Fabre said it would ix; possible to set up another network within
a few weoks.
Walker said he had been told by Fabre that the project would be
continued for at least another six months while the National insti
tute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, which supplied the
funding.
Marla Rae, a spokeswoman for the Oregon Department of Justice,
said tho agency was investigating.
Mobley won’t run for Senate
SALEM (AP) — Al Mobloy
suId Wednesday be will not
mount u third-purty challenge
to Sen Bob Paekwood.
Mobloy said at a news confer
ence he decided not to run after
mooting with prominent Re
publican officeholders. Includ
ing members of Congress, on a
recent trip to Washington.
His decision sparked charges
of deal-making by Backwood s
Democratic opponent. Rep Los
AuCoin. and a response from
the Republican senator's camp
arousing AuCoin of lying
Mobley said the main reason
he decided to stay out of the
race was that ho didn't want to
help AuCoin.
"I cannot boar the thought
that I might bo the cause of
elocting Los AuCxiln," Mobley
said.
Mobley ran as an indepen
dent candidate for governor in
1990 with backing from the
conservative Oregon Citizens
Alliance.
Ho drew 13 percent of the
vote, and some observers be
lieve he took enough support
from Republican Dave Frohn
mayer to oloct Democrat Barba
ra Roberts as governor
The OCA has filed papers
that would have allowed it to
nominate Mobley as a third
party contender in the Senate
race
Mobloy scoffed at suggestions
deals were cut to persuade him
to forego the race. Ho said he
didn't know whether to classify
such talk "us claptrap or pop
pycock."
Mobley said he had no mill
ings with f’uckwood or his stall
during his discussions about a
possible Senate campaign
Mobley's move still loaves
one uncertain olomont hanging
over the Senate contest: Bond
businessman Harry Lonsdale,
Lonsdale came within u
whisker of defeating AuCoin in
the Democratic primary elec
tion in May and has said he
might launch a wrilo-ln cam
paign for the post in the general
election.
AuCoin, meanwhile, said
Mobley's announcement ended
a long lobbying process by
"F’ackwood, his Senate allies |
and the full might of the Bush
administration to clear the way
of any threat to I’ackwood's ro
eloction."

Hatfield
rebuked
over gifts
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Plvu-torm Sun Murk Hat
field. R-tirc, was rebuked
Wednesday by the Senate
Ethics Committee for falling
to disclose more than
$42,000 in gifts he received
between 18B3 and HWtft.
The committee said Hat
field violated civil law and
Senate ruies by not disclos
ing the gifts, but that there
was no evidence that the
senator's failure to disclose
"were intentional in na
ture"
In a statement. Hatfield ac
cepted full responsibility
and said: “My mistakes were
many and my omissions
were serious. There is no
one but myself to blame ... I
am anxious to movo on."
"I'm the one who signs the
forms, and I am the one who
is responsible for making
sure that every gilt, every fi
nancial transaction is fully
disclosed as required," said
Hatfield.
The gifts, which ranged
from works of art to free
home improvement work,
were received from the sena
tor's associates as well as the
University of South Caroline
and the school's former pres
ident. the ethics panel said
The committee found that
Hatfield's failure to disclose
the gifts in timely fashion
violated the Ethics in Gov
ernment Act of 197B as well
as a Senate rule. Both re
quired senators from 1083 to
1088 to report gifts that to
taled more than $100 In any
year.
Committee Chairman Ter
ry Sanford. D-NfC., said Hat
field's acceptance of the
findings end the 14-monlh
investigation and no further
action would be taken.
