Kids can conform or run—Fearl vjiiivcioh) pi UlCddUI OI education Art Pearl leaned heavily on adult evasiveness and cited the need for political power Monday night. Speaking informally with a group of 15 persons at the Eugene Public Library, Pearl said, “Children today are relying on us—the adults—the request for a better world, only we can’t give it to them. We’ve become too ac customed to running away from our problems.” The meeting was the seventh of an eight-meeting series spon sored by the University and Community Project group ex piormg tne problems of the ‘‘Generation Gap” Pearl’s talk was directed to the problem as it applies to schools. •Kids are faced with three choices,” Pearl explained, “conform, fight or run. They’ve been thinking about fighting, but when and if they turn to that, they know they’re going to lose. “So really, they have only two choices: to conform or to run.” He said that, to the younger generation, conformity was usually unbearable and kids were left only with the alternative of running. But the route of escapism, he explained, although widely ac cepted was still not an acceptable choice. Education and politics were named as two possible ways to cure the running problems. “You can begin to do things about problems when you have an educated population. And, like it or not, the schools are the best place we have right now to ac complish that.” Pearl explained, however, that schools had a little problem solving of their own to do before the job of education could be successfully accomplished. He claimed, “The education of people who think they are in significant as individuals, was the most frightening aspect of schools. “We've taught people—in our schools—that they are in significant for years,’’ he said. “That’s a lie. You are significant. Your voice matters.” Project Director Armando Laguardia. instructor in education at the University said a representative of Eugene's school district 4-J will extend the 1 subject of Schools and the “GenerationGap” at next week’s $ meeting. Hitchhiker files suit “No person shall stand in a roadway for the purpose of soliciting a ride from the driver of any private vehicle,” the Oregon statute on hitchhiking reports. This interpretation has recently become the subject of a lawsuit filed in Lane Circuit court. The plaintiff in the suit is 26 year old Stephen Giardini, a third year law student from Northeastern University, Boston, Mass. Giardini is currently a law clerk in the office of Eugene attorney Charles Porter, who is representing him in the suit. The suit seeks a judgment to overturn State Attorney General Lee. Johnson’s opinion of ‘roadway.’ The opinion issued by the Attorney General states: “The ‘roadway’ is that portion of a street or highway on which vehicles actually travel, including the adjacent ‘shoulder’ area which vehicles use for temporary and emergency travel.” Johnson was named as defendant in the case because he issued the interpretation, and Lane County District Attorney Robert Naslund, whose duty is to prosecute violators of the law, has been named as co ueieiiuam. According to Porter, “the Attorney General erroneously extended the power that was given in the law to give the police power to arrest who they want to.” Porter also said that Johnson’s opinion is being used as the basis for arrest by police and sheriffs all over the state. In the opinion issued by Johnson, “the ‘shoulders’ of modem high ways are normally improved portions of the highway.” Johnson also stated, “Though not intended to be used for high speed travel, or any travel except in special circumstances, the shoulder is nonetheless intentionally designed so that it can be used, and is ordinarily used by motorists for limited travel in emergency and other special, but frequently occurring, cases.” Giardni said that winning the suit in Lane Circuit Court would have the effect of overturning Johnson’s ruling throughout the state. Judgment for the plaintiff will also have the effect of making the law clear to hitchhikers and the police, according to Porter. Giardini said he originally started out driving to Eugene from Massachusetts, but after his car broke down in New Jersey, ended up hitchhiking the rest of the way. He said he has previously taken many East Coast jaunts and still hitches regularly. Giardini is in Oregon to help fulfill curriculum requirements for Northeastern University. Part of the law program calls for two month periods working as a legal aide to practicing attorneys. Graduates recieve grants * .

Fellowships average $5,000 per year and cover tuition and fees at the graduate school selected by the student, books, supplies, and a monthly living allowance.
