After drug bust
Buhlinger released on bail
University student Wayne Buhlinger, who was
arrested in his dormitory room last week for
allegedly selling marijuana, was released from the
City-County Jail on $500 bail Friday.
Buhlinger was arrested in his Young Hall room
and charged with illegal sale of narcotics after
allegedly selling marijuana to a police undercover
agent.
Buhlinger’s arrest was made by members of
the Lane Interagency Narcotics Team (LINT), who
work under the direction of Lane County Dictrict
Attorney John Leahy. Leahy had been out of town
and unavailable for comment, so details of
Buhlinger’s arrest were not made clear un
til Friday.
The district attorney told the Emerald Friday
that Buhlinger was arrested after selling one lid of
marijuana to a police officer accompanied by an
informant.
Leahy said the arrest was made in Buhlinger’s
dorm room at about 11:45 p.m. The Eugene
Register-Guard had reported Buhlinger was
arrested at 11:45 a.m.
Leahy said that marijuana had been con
fiscated from Buhlinger’s car after the sale but
before the arrest. This marijuana, he said, included
some loose marijuana in the car, as well as a paper
sack containing 11 lids.
Leahy said that no University officials were
notified prior to the arrest, adding that he didn’t
think such notification to be necessary.
“There is no legal requirement that we notify
anybody. To my knowledge, generally speaking, we
haven’t (notified University officials),” Leahy said.
A different view of the question had been aired
by Gerald Bogen, special assistant to University
President Robert Clark, last week.
Bogen said he didn’t want to suggest that the
University should be a sanctuary from the laws
established by the community, but he did express
some concern about the arrest being made without
the knowledge of the University administration.
“I think it’s an acknowledged fact of history
that large numbers of police officers on university
campuses, especially at unusual hours, can be in
citeful. We who are in charge of administering
campuses should have the opportunity to, at the
very least, advise on the appropriateness of par
ticular police actions on campus,” the presidential
assistant said last week.
Clark says ruling
on Eachus’ status
may not be final
The Student Administrative Board (SAB)
ruling that Ron Eachus may remain ASUO
President may not be final, according to University
President Robert Clark.
Clark, in a statement released after last week’s
SAB meeting, points out that “I still have before the
faculty of the University the question whether I
have taken the right course in advising Mr. Eachus
to petition for exception and my invitation that they
advise me. The faculty may choose to advise me or
not. Until the faculty has had time to express its
opinion, I am not prepared to say whether or not the
SAB ruling is final.”
Clark has also moved to clarify the controversy
about Eachus’ status for persons outside the
University community. In a letter addressed to
“friends of the University,” which was dated last
Friday, he said, “I believe that officers of student
government should be bona fide students in good
standing and that they should make substantial
progress towards their degrees during their term of
office.”
Clark’s letter went on to explain how a clerical
error in publishing the University’s Administrative
Manual had “further confused the issue of the
present ASUO President’s eligibility.”
But, the President wrote, “the present am
biguities will be eliminated when the new student
handbook is issued.”

Chicanos hear Toelken
sing, speak on folklore
Although the lettuce boycott issue has been a top concern of the
Chicano Student Union, several members of the CSU relaxed at a
special meeting last Thursday night where guest speaker, Assoc. Prof.
Barry Toelken gave an informal program on folklore.
Toelken, an English professor at the University, spoke on
traditions and values that make up a folkore, ranging from hand
gestures to jokes. He remarked that white society “dampens" folklore
since it puts basic emphasis on individuality rather than group
relationship.”
Appearing as though he could have just finished a hike down
Spencer’s Butte, Toelken, accompanied by his guitar, sang several
Navajo and Chicano folksongs. Also sung was “Midnight Special," a
prison song and also a fogging song.
Through his travels, Prof. Toelken has studied several customs
and has gathered a collection of folksongs that represent the attitudes
of many people.
Ghost stories and jokes were exchanged towards the end of the
CSU meeting. Referring to common taboo subjects such as sex and
racism that many of our jokes are aimed at, Toelken concluded that
“the jokes of a culture help us to whistle in the dark.”
