Alfonso Cabrera, chairman of the conference, said members of the Chicano Task Force hope students interested in an thropology, education, sociology, journalism and political science will attend the conference on the Chicano experience and apply it to their fields. “The University is supposed to offer a cultural exchange for students, but mostly it doesn’t,” Cabrera said. “We wish professors would send their classes to the conference.” Brochures on the conference were sent to most departments on campus, but so far none have responded, Cabrera said. One of the main problems the conference will emphasize is that “to a great extent the label ‘minority’ has been a burden to the Chicanos. We find our selves as lost within this grouping — which has, in practice, been Black — as we ever were in the White Society,” Cabrera said. Problems in the areas of recruitment and student ser vices, affirmative action, and ethnic studies will be discussed Thursday by Chicano speakers from Oregon and a number of other states, and in workshops and seminars held Friday. Friday night Comida Mexicans (Chicano Dinner) will offer a sample of Chicano cooking and a chance for informal interaction among community members, students, staff, faculty and ad ministrators. The dinner is free, but those planning to attend must pick up a ticket in University President Robert Clark’s office in Johnson Hall, at MECHA, rm. 304 EMU, or at SESAMEX, 110 Fenton Hall.

Horton plans LINT changes Lane District Attorney J. Pat Horton said he feels “completely vindicated of all the reckless charges” filed against him. Monday afternoon Judge Richard Mengler had issued a three-page opinion denying any election violations on Horton’s part in the recent election. Mengler, ruling on the charges brought by law student Donald Armstrong, concluded his opinion by saying, “If campaigns for the office of District Attorney are to be taken out of the ‘political arena’ it must be done by legislative enactment and not by judicial disapproval of practices within the statutes.” Horton commented at a Tuesday press conference on his campaign pledge to pursue misdemeanor citations for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana. He said, “it’s a program that’s going to take place, my campaign promises were not hallow.” When asked how he would accomplish this, Horton replied that “the procedure is already a practice in other jurisdictions.” The Oregon Revised Statutes permit law enforcement agencies to issue, at their discretion, citations ordering a person to appear in court instead of jailing them. During the campaign for district attorney Horton criticized the use of LINT the Lane Inter-Agency Narcotics Team. When questioned as to what changes he planned to make the new DA. responded that “LINT is going to be changed ... we’re going to start con centrating on the pusher of dangerous drugs, we don’t have the time or manpower to find every casual or incidental user of marijuana and prosecute than .. . its a matter of priorities.” In addition to the other changes, Horton indicated he would seek funds from the County Commission for the hiring of a cost analyst to streamline the operation of the DA.’s office. He also indicated that he would announce an appointment soon to the new position of community liaison with the University. Horton said that for too long valuable resources at the University have been ignored. ...U.U a«*< H#vc\ t«»s hMUe. ... AMD J
