Bob Wood bares all:
7 have nothing to hide'
I believe the people have a
right to know about a can
didate's potential conflicts of
interest before election day
when they can still do
something about," announced
County Commissioner hopeful
Bob Wood Monday as he
disclosed his personal
finances.
Wood feels he is exceeding
the requirements of the
Common Cause endorsed
Ballot Measure 14. His assets
include cash, personal
belongings, a land-dwelling,
and half interest in Homefinder
magazine which serves realtors
by advertising homes for sales.
His assets equal $50,000 and
liabilities total half that
amount.
Wood said that he will use
$1,500 of his own money in his
campaign and expects $3,000
$4,000 to complement that
amount.
"I have nothing to hide and
any of my records are available
on request," said Wood. His
financial statements can be
perused at the Democratic
's.

St.
One of Wood's opponents,
Archie Weinstein, has not
disclosed his financial sources,
but plans to do so in a Friday
press conference. Wood said,
"He (Weinstein) says his
finances are nobody's business
but his own. The people have a
right to know, before election
day, where the interests of
private fortune conflict with
public interest."

According to Wood,
Weinstein is head of Weinstein
Enterprises, and holds interest
in urban renewal projects and
property. Weinstein said
Monday evening that he did
handle the economics of some
downtown urban renewal land.
Wood receives $900 a month
from the Presbyterian Action
for Development.
"The past two years have
given us enough politicians
who have illegally profited at
the public expense while
hiding beneath the guise of
financial secrecy," stated
Wood.
Candidates are required to
disclose financial funds after
the election, but Wood feels a
responsibility to report his
financial funds prior to the
election.
Besides Wood and Wein
stein, Ken Omlid is also run
ning for the position of Lane
County Commissioner. Omlid
is having his press conference
this morning at 9 a.m. at Harris
Hall.

Publishers clean out sexism
By NANCY HEINE
(CPS) — "Examples of
stereotyping to be avoided:
scatterbrained female, fragile
flower, goddess on a pedestal,
catty gossip, hen-pecking shrew,
apron-wearing mother, frustrated
spinster..."
Editors at the McGraw-Hill Book
Co. have sharpened their pencils
and begun attacking sexist
educational texts they publish.
And they're not alone. Other
publishers have joined the battle.
According to studies on sex-role
stereotyping in textbooks, plenty
of editing is in order. Though 51
per cent of the U.S. population is
female, the studies discovered
men far outnumbering women in
texts at all grade levels. Women
who were represented were
shown as servile, fearful, passive
and dependent.
In a study of 554 elementary
readers, researcher Diane
Graebner found a ration of three
boys to every two girls. She
determined that 75 per cent of all
stories were about boys and that
boys made up 67.5 of all
