Chicano culture at conference
Students will have a unique
opportunity to rub elbows with
another culture and its per
spective on society Thursday and
Friday during the Chicano
conference “Que Pasa Raza?”
“Que Pasa Raza?” loosely
translated means “What is
happening, people?”
Activities during the con
ference include a blend of
discussion on the problems and
needs of Chicano6 and a variety
of cultural activities.
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

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.
