High court appointment lauded Betty Roberts became the first woman justice of the Oregon Supreme Court Mon day, an event endorsed by some area legislators and educators. “Hooray!" said Mimi John son, chairer of the Women's Studies department at the University. "I am a great admirer of hers and I think it's a real excellent move forward for women.” Rep. Margie Hendricksen, the only female attorney in the State Legislature, says she is especially pleased with the ap pointment. She called the in vestiture "the only upbeat thing happening" at the Capitol dur ing the current legislative special session. Hendricksen attended the in vestiture ceremony in Salem and said it was a "warm, human" event. After Roberts was sworn in, her husband asked the new justice's permis sion to approach the bench and presented her with two dozen red roses. Roberts received a standing ovation from the audience in the packed court room, Hendriksen said. She added that it was gratify ing to finally see a woman on the Betty Roberts state's highest court Only 100 years ago. she said, the U S Supreme Court ruled that in dividual states had the right to prevent a woman from practic ing law. Sen. Ted Kulongoski, D Junction City, agreed that the time was long overdue for a woman on the bench. "I think we're probably about 124 years late" in having a woman on the Supreme Court, he said However, Kulongoski warned that not too much emphasis should be placed on Roberts' sex. “I think it undercuts the significance of having her on the court" if people concentrate on the fact that she is a woman and not on the fact that she is a very competent judge, he said.

Vic Atiyeh appointed Roberts to the court last December to replace the retir ing Justice Thomas Tongue She will face election this May for a full six-year term on the court Roberts received her mas ter's degree in political science at the University in 1962 She was appointed to the Oregon Court of Appeals in 1977 by then-Gov Bob Straub, the first woman to serve on that court University selects fund raiser Russell Picton has been named director of development and executive director of the University Foundation Picton, vice president for development at Wofford Col lege in South Carolina since 1977, has 22 years of exper ience in the field of education fund raising and public rela tions He is expected to join the University staff about March 1 “Russ Picton brings to the foundation talents vital to the organization at this point in its development,” says Curt Simic, vice president for University relations.
