“The search for ethnic identi
ty" is the focus of the third an
nual Willamette Valley Racial
Minorities Consortium slated for
Oct. 23-24 at Oregon College of
Education.
Although the University has
been an institutional member of
the consortium since its found
ing in 1978, this year will mark
the first time the University is
represented.
The conference begins
Thursday at 9 a.m. with regis
tration in the College Center
Concourse.
Workshops offered Thursday
include “Campus Life of the
Minority Student,” “Multi-Cul
tural Education” and “Minority
Women: The Double Bind,
Racism and Sexism."
The latter workshop will be
led by Colleen Fong, founder of
the University's Ethnic
Women’s Alliance. The confer
ence starts at 10 a.m.
“Our panel will cover profes
sionalism, male-female relation
ships, women’s relationships
with their mothers and bi-racial
heritage,” says Fong.
Panel participants Kathy and
DeeDee Akiyama will also speak
on bi-racial heritage.

Two plead guilty to pot charges
PORTLAND (AP) - Two New
York men have pleaded guilty to
conspiracy and marijuana pos
session charges for helping
smuggle more than 17,000
pounds of “Thai sticks'' into
Oregon by ship.
U.S. District Judge Helen Frye
on Monday scheduled sentenc
ing for Nov. 24 for Thomas Ma
rengo, 29, and Richard Sciac
chetano, 32. Both face a possi
ble 15-year prison term and
$45,000 in fines.
Each pleaded guilty to con
spiring to import marijuana,
possession with intent to dis
tribute marijuana and importing
marijuana.
Assistant U S. Attorney Ken
neth Bauman said in exchange
for the guilty pleas, the govern
ment would dismiss a fourth
count of conspiracy against the
two men.
A third defendant, Tommy
Tindall, 35, a Virginia resident,
was scheduled to go to trial
Monday afternoon. He is
charged in four counts of the
10-count indictment.
Five of the original 17 defen
dants in Oregon’s largest mar
ijuana prosecution pleaded
guilty and received jail terms
from eight months to four years.
Twelve chose to go to trial.
Four of those defendants
failed to appear for trial, which
was shifted to San Francisco.
They are being sought as fugi
tives.
The remaining eight were
convicted and sentenced to
terms of four to 10 years. Seven
are appealing their convictions.
The prosecution stemmed
from a Dec. 31, 1977 raid on a
Thai stick unloading operation
off the Southern Oregon Coast
near Bandon.
Sciacchetano and Marengo
admitted to the judge Monday
that they conspired to bring the
marijuana into Oregon and dis
tribute it. Marengo admitted go
ing to Thailand to help arrange
the operation.

"People in my situation feel un
addressed. We feel on the edge
of many issues. Our discussion
will afford people a new per
spective on the double-bind of
race and sex."
Fong will give closing remarks
on education.
"If professors are really con
cerned about offering a viable
curriculum, they’re going to
have to flush out issues about
women, and issues about peo
ple of color," says Fong.
"They must offer programs
people can relate to. Right now
they’re teaching one view of life
in white male terms.”
Friday’s workshops include
"Melting Pot verses Pluralism,”
"Teaching Minority Students"
and "Non-Racist and Non-Sex
ist Education."
Other University participants
are Lewis Merrick, associate
director of minority students;
Ronald Rousseve, professor of
counselor education; Jamilleh
Stroman, program assistant for
the Coucil of Minority Educa
tion; and Myra Willard of the
Ethnic Women’s Alliance.
The consortium is open to
students, faculty and communi
ty members. Cost for students is
$20, which includes all meals
and registration fees. Non
students pay $30, which also
includes meals and registration
fees. General registration is $5
for students and $10 for non
students.
