Rolling Thunder has crusaded to end
human abuse of the environment. In the
early 1970s, he and other members of the
Committee of Concern for the Traditional
Indian protested the illegal harvesting of
pinyon trees in Shoshone territory and
the stripmining of Hopi land in Arizona
and the Four Corners Area.
An outspoken advocate of Indian
rights, Rolling Thunder is a famed pre
server of traditional Indian culture. He is
said to possess psychokinetic abilities
and to perform miraculous cures using
medical techniques developed by his
ancestors. He also claims to posesses an
uncanny ability to predict — or even
control — the weather.
Rolling Thunder describes the earth as
a living organism. He explains natural
disasters as the earth’s attempts to dis
pel its sickness, or pollution.

TUESDAY
All day — Bicycle repair workshops
ever held at the University in 1970, came
the idea to form a student-funded or
ganization to educate students and get
them involved in environmental protec
tion. The organization became the Sur
vival Center.
In the fall of 1969, Sen. Gaylord Nel
son, D-Wisc., proposed a national envir
onmental Earth Day. A national
“Environmental Action: April 22 teach-in
movement" formed throughout the na
tion’s colleges and high schools
Earthday expanded to Earthweek in
the mid-1970s.
In addition to the University’s “Can
Man Survive?” conference, classes were
suspended temporarily so students
could attend a “Time Out for Survival"
teach-in. Most of the environmental
events held on campus and throughout
the nation in 1970 focused on combat
ting pollution.

"The biggest environmental issue then
was air and water pollution,” says Dave
Daikh, Survival Center director. "But the
pollution issue gave impetus to other
environmental concerns, such as pre
serving public and wild lands, land-use
planning, conservation and recycling,
alternative energy and transportation,
toxic substances.”
Daikh says the first class offered by the
Survival Center in the early 1970s, called
Oregon Environmental Issues, was at
tended by approximately 3,000 students
and had to be held in McArthur Court.
The same class today usually enrolls
about 30 students.
Although not as many people are ac
tively involved now as during the height
of the environmental movement, Daikh
says, “There are many more people who
are knowledgeable and aware of
environmental issues.

"Back then, it was a new thing with
high involvement and a lot of publicity.
But a large segment of the population
saw it as just another new movement.”
Another ‘‘high involvement”
on campus in the early 1970s was the
anti-Vietnam War movement. The first
Earth Day was accompanied by a
300-student takeover of Johnson Hall,
ending in 60 arrests and the ASUO sen
ate declaring a student strike.
Daikh says this year's Earthweek is
designed to foster appreciation of the
earth’s beauty and resources through
slides and films.
“At the same time we're celebrating
the earth, we have to look at how impor
tant it is to protect it,” he says. "We’re
stressing active involvement, and one
example is the Millrace clean-up.”

stopping cars and to tell drivers about
the disadvantage of driving. They will
give motorists bicycle maps and bus
route schedules. A variety of bicycle
workshops and trips are planned for the
week.
“It's important people let it be known
there’s wide public support for the en
vironment," Daikh says. "Some policy
statements being made now by Reagan’s
new cabinet — Secretary of Interior
(James) Watt and Secretary of Energy
(James Edwards) — are very damaging
to the environment.
“For example, Watt wants to give the
U S. Geological Survey and the Bureau
of Mines control of resource man
agement in Alaska. They’ll open the
lands up and mine them, and we’ll have
no more pristine areas.”
