Pau/us candidate for secretary of state
By TOM JACKSON

Norma Paulus, a Salem lawyer and three-term state represen
tative, announced her candidacy for the position of Secretary of State
this morning. She will run for the position in the 1976 elections.
Paulus spoke at the University Law School Thursday concerning
environmental and sex issues.
Paulus said that having “another woman in a constitutional of
fice” would be a step forward for women’s rights. She is running for
the office “to amplify the voices and concerns of Oregonians who are
crying out to be heard and responded to by government.”
According to Paulus, women’s issues had not oeen effectively
dealt with in Oregon before the 1975 Legislature passed the rape bill
and revamped the laws concerning inheritance taxes and change of
name. She also cited the Equal Rights Amendment as an important
legislative action, as well as the equalization of credit rights.
Speaking of the rape bill, she said that “while we have changed
the law, we have not changed attitudes.”
It took the “audacity” of the women’s caucus in the Legislature,
with the support of the League of Women Voters and other women’s
groups to insure the acceptance of women’s legislation, she said.
Regarding the environment, Paulus said that “monumental
strides" have been made in environmental issues in Oregon, par
ticularly by the 1975 Legislature. She cited the Oregon bottle bill, the
ban on field burning, and the bike path bill as progressive legislation.
She also stressed land-use planning as an important en
vironmental consideration, adding that this program should be
continued in the future.

Paul us said she feels issues facing Oregon in the future will be
reforestation, commercial packaging, and nuclear waste disposal.
Reforestation presents a “challenge to present managers of
forests,” she commented, adding that increasing initiative for
reforestation is coming from “within the companies.” Progress has
been made in reforestation, but further measures must be taken, she
remarked.
Paul us is especially concerned with the waste involved in com
mercial packaging. "Something has to be done about excess
packaging," she said, and added that consumers are “buying garbage”
in the form of overpackaged goods.
Citing field burning as a difficult issue to solve, Paulus said she
believes alternatives should be looked into. Other sources of ar
pollution, such as slash burning and automobiles, should also be
investigated, and viable solutions to these environmental problems
should be formulated, she said.
Media picture distorted,
declares former editor
Today’s journalistic reporting was compared to a peck of hounds
that keeps chasing rabbits once it catches one by a former editor of the
Washington Star.
Newboid Noyes, now a board member of the Star, said at a news
conference Thursday that he feels the media are presenting a picture
of the government that is somewhat distorted, mostly negative, and
are the cause of the public’s loss of confidence in government and its
institutions. Noyes explained the hounds comparison as “once you
get that negative-type story, the trend is to grab on to ail stories that
are negative.”
The phenomenon that negative news is the moat interesting news
has been growing over a long period of time, Noyes said, and he added
that Watergate was a large influence in setting the style.
Noyes advocates a shifting of emphasis from merely presenting
the “sensational, horrendous” happenings of government to a con
tinuing coverage of institutions and their activates — “a more rounded
idea of what’s happening.”
“There has to be a change, even at the risk of boring people; a
change in what makes news. American people perceive government as
corrupt — all bad — and that doesn’t square with the truth," Noyes
said.
The former president of the American Society of Newspaper
Editors will present a public address tonight at 8 in the EMU ballroom
on “Responsibilities of Power” including current issues and ethical
problems plaguing media today. His address is the first of the Ruhl
Symposium in Journalism, a series endowed to the University’s
journalism school by the widow of the late Robert Ruhl, long-time
editor of the Medford Mail-Tribune.
