Collections
continued from page 1
Manuscripts Librarian Linda Long
said. “(Special Collections) really is
a goldmine of information.”
Special Collections has served as
the University’s repository for his
toric and rare materials since 1947.
In 1948, its duties were expanded to
include University Archives, which
houses all official records pertaining
to the University.
Since then, the department has
amassed a mind-boggling amount of
items — most of the inventory con
sists of donated personal works and
effects — into its rare books, photo
graphs and other collections.
Long said there are millions of
items in Special Collections.
“In the manuscripts alone, there’s
about 20,000 linear feet of docu
ments and unpublished writing,”
she said.
Under each collection is a variety
of material, with subjects ranging
from politics to entertainment.
Within the manuscript collection,
one can find a letter written by
Thomas Jefferson or piles of scripts
from the late 1950s for the “Gun
smoke” and “The Rifleman” televi
sion shows.
A collection donated in 1968 by
former Sports Illustrated reporter
Jack Olsen includes 34 reels of au
diotape featuring conversations with
a promising young boxer named
Cassius Clay, who would later be
come Muhammad Ali.
As valuable as some of the hold
ings may seem, Normandy Helmer,
coordinator of preservation and dig
ital services, said she sees their most
important function as primary re
source material in research.
“We have bits and pieces that
would bring us a lot of money individ
ually,” she said. “But collections like
ours are really priceless, not because
of how much you can get for a piece
or a document, but because you can
sit down and personally examine it.”
Erik Loomis, a Ph D. history stu
dent from the University of New
Mexico, visited the campus recent
ly, gathering information for a dis
sertation on the timber industry in
the Northwest. He was able to un

cover some of the financial records
and ledgers of lumber firms from
the 1920s in the department’s Ore
gon Collection.
“It has been a positive experi
ence,” Loomis said. “(Special Col
lections) is as good as any archive
I’ve ever seen.”
Director of Special Collections
James D. Fox said it is his hope that
as more of the listings of the collec
tion are made available on the Web
— most are currently not accessible
through the library’s online cata
logue — the facility will begin to en
tice more visitors.
“What we’re trying to do is make
Special Collections open to all in the
community and even the state,” he
said. “All of these exhibits and items
belong to them.”

Citations
continued from page t
filed as a violation, city prosecutor
Liane Richardson said. A first offense
at a non-party type situation — such
as a 21-year-old giving a beer to an
underage roommate — also is likely
to mean a violation, she said.
“There are always mitigating cir
cumstances in every case,” Nelson
said, “and these need to be taken
into consideration.”
If the furnishing case is filed as a
violation, a first-time defendant has
the option of pleading guilty and go
ing through the BUSTED diversion
program. The program, which was
developed by the court, police de
partment and the University’s Sub
stance Abuse Prevention Program,
includes a 10-hour class and some
final paperwork before the case is
dismissed. BUSTED is also offered to

those cited for Minor in Possession,
which warrants only one chance to
participate in the program.
Individuals convicted of a second
offense may choose to go to BUSTED
II, which would reduce the fine, yet
still include a conviction. According
to municipal court records for 2002,
only six of the 53 defendants opted to
go through BUSTED II, which could
be attributed to the length of the
class, which is 20 hours. But BUSTED
II is only available to those who have
already taken the BUSTED diversion
program or have previously chosen
not to attend.
The most important thing to re
member when a citation is issued,
Fine said, is to show up on or before
the assigned court date. A failure to
appear is basis for a second citation.
