Weinstein files libel suit against assessor A slander and libel suit has been filed by County Commis sioner Archie Weinstein against Ken Bylund, county assessor, in a dispute that started last July. During the summer Bylund “maliciously, willfully and wrong fully" said that Weinstein was a partner in a corporation that had gone bankrupt and that he owed back taxes as a result of the deal, according to allegations con tained in the suit. The other charge relates to a September incident when Bylund said Weinstein was acting in col SAVE DURING BERG’S NINE-DAY MID-WINTER SALE!

Weinstein is seeking $100,000 general damages and $100,000 punitive damages for each al leged injury by Bylund. The suit defines both parties as acting as private citizens in the matter. Al legedly Bylund “was acting out side of the course and scope of his duties,” according to the suit. Bylund said his actions were undertaken responsibly. A press release issued by Bylund shortly after the suit was filed said he made the statements, but claims the comments were proper. Bylund points to a recent sale of Weinstein s property as substan tiation of his accusations. According to the release, “Weinstein has recently sold the 13th and Willamette properties, one of which is under appeal. The By JANE LEHMAN Of the Emerald price recorded on the deed was $315,000. The Board of Equaliza tion had set the assessment at $229,660. That is a 37 percent dif ferent in value, which is obviously too low." “It was my duty to collect taxes on property in Weinstein’s pos session, which I did" said Bylund. "It was my duty to defend the val ues of the assessment roll when they were reduced by the Weinstein-Gault Board of Equali zation. I have appealed these re duced values with sound ap praisal information to support my contentions.’’ According to Bylund, Wein stein’s actions will not hamper his continuing performance of duties. "As far as I am concerned, a law suit by Weinstein against me will not deter me in working hard to ward the goal of fair and equitable taxes without special treatment for a wealthy and powerful commis sioner." Film depicts apartheid system By ANNA C. HOYT Of the Emerald The Black Student Union presented “South Africa — The Rising Tide," a film depicting the lifestyle of the “norvwhite" popula tion of Southern Africa and their efforts to secure their civil rights, Wednesday night in the EMU. The film described "pass-book laws,” and how they are used to control the behavior of the black majority. The laws consist of black workers receiving wrist bands with numbers on them. Those num bers become their name. They are referred to by their number, their jobs are decided by their number, and they are buried by their number. The movie explained opposition to sales of the Krugerrand is due to the slavery involved in mining the gold to produce it. Every twenty minutes a black miner is killed in the mines. As unpleasant Equipment swap tonight The Outdoor Program has many activities planned this term, includ ing a Winter Equipment Swap tonight from 7-9 p.m. in the EMU Ball room. Space will be provided for people to bring tents, skis, clothing and various other types of equipment to buy, trade or sell. According to Bruce Mason, director of the Outdoor Program, “several hundred people are expected to participate. “It’s a real popular thing because equipment is a big hassel," says Mason. “We have an equipment swap every quarter for people to buy and sell eouinment. It's much more economical that wav.” The Outdoor Program has many other activities planned, including a wilderness photo lab that held its first meeting Jan 17. ‘We ve just started our photo program,” Mason says. “People come to learn to develop film and learn how to make black-and-white prints.” Mason says the photo lab was started as a learning process for people interested in wilderness photography, but is also meant to provide a facility for wilderness photographers who already have the skills.

The film pointed out that non whites are subject to arbitrary ar rests, execution, and secret burials. Blacks are only allowed in the city limits during the working day, and then only to do menial work for the white minority. After the working day, if the blacks have not left the city, they are subject to arrest. The black majority claims only to want the opportunity to decide their own destiny, and do away with colonialism. “We seek a South Africa where the wealth is shared by the people equitably," stated one person in the film, “where the door of living and culture is open to all.” The movie was followed by a brief discussion led by Ozodi Sosugi, the African Student As sociation president, who was on hand to answer any of the viewers’ questions.
