Riots in Poland claim first victim WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Riots over the ban on Solidarity claimed their first victim Thursday — a young man who died of gun shot wounds — and police fired tear gas to disperse mourners lighting candles for the victim at a church Worker anger was reported spreading through Poland's coal and steel heartland The official PAP news agency said Bod gan Wlosik, 20. died Thursday in a hospital after being shot by a plainclothes officer who was attacked Wednesday during fierce street fighting that left nearly 100 people injured in the Krakow steel-making suburb of Nowa Huta Police fired tear gas into a crowd of mourners placing candles and a floral cross at a local church Thursday in honor of Wlosik, PAP and reliable sources reported It was the first officially acknowledged death in the riots spawned by the outlawing of the Soviet bloc's first independent labor federation a week ago Unconfirmed reports attributed to a Polish ham radio operator said two others died in Gdansk Tuesday evening, and a government journalist claimed a worker depressed by the upheavals killed himself by diving into a vat of molten steel The Communist Party newspaper warned that new riots and strikes could extend martial law, and the official information service Interpress said leaflets urging street protests and a boycott of pro-government unions set up in place of Solidarity have appeared in factories in Katowice province Miners at the Jankowice coal mine near Rybnik refused to work for one hour Wed nesday despite the martial law ban on strikes, but had gone to work after talks with management and party officials. Interpress said The new unrest followed riots and strikes in Gdansk Monday and Tuesday and street protests Wednesday in Wroclaw and Nowa Huta The government reported 148 arrests in Gdansk and 170 in Wroclaw Political women take aim ERA setback no reason for halting advance By Mike Anderson Of the Emerald Three successful women politicians voiced their opinions yesterday that more must be done to preserve and further advance women in politics and society "I get angry at people who think things are just all right now," says Norma Paulus, secretary of state She believes women are not picking up where their predecessors left off in the women's movement State Representative Margie Hendriksen, democrat from Eugene, and Martha Keys, former congresswoman from Kansas and member of the Presidential Advisory Commit tee on Social Security, gathered with Paulus to discuss the role of women in the political process and the future of the women's movement The panel met in the EMU thursday. The first step into politics is hard, Keys says, since many women have not been educated or socialized to become poli tically active "It's not easy to run for an office, not for city council, not for the state legislature, not for any office,'' Keys says Keys explains her "natural escalation into public office began with a concern for her community, which ultimately lead to her election to Con gress Women in politics have re sponsibilities beyond those of their male counterparts. Keys says Women have a primary responsibility to their consti tuents like any politician, male or female, but more than that women have a heavier social responsibility. Keys cites the many laws that still need to be changed, especially those con cerning women and the elderly Keys focuses her efforts on equalizing opportunity and em ployment, ending discrimina tion, and perpetuating educa tion and health services Paulus defines the Equal Rights Amendment and the abortion issue as the primary concerns of the women's movement If I was to devote the rest of my life to only two things, it would be ERA and the abortion issue.’' she says Sexual discrimination has been wiped from Oregon sta tutes. and remarkable gains have been made in a short per iod of time, Paulus says We learned to play political hard ball on these issues,' she says "Oregon is the only state I know of where the right hand man to the governor is a women, ' Paulus says Hendriksen also believes that Oregon is unique in its empha sis on women in the political system "Oregon has a special kind of climate for women in politics Oregon is being watched because of its progressive laws and its reputation for electing women into office." Hendriksen says She cites recently passed state legislation strengthening Affirmative Action Oregon's rape laws have also been made tougher, she says Oregon has brought feminism into the political process. Hen driksen says Despite the conservative trend nationally, Hendriksen says the state has continued to progress There has been a backlash of the New Right, but she expects that a backlash of the feminist movement will oc cur as well. The defeat of the ERA has been a serious set back, the women agreed, but Hendriksen believes that in the long run, the defeat of ERA could lead to greater numbers of women in politics as a backlash effect Hendriksen, conversely, says that women must learn to com pete "The tools of the trade are neutral. It's the message you're putting out that's important,” Hendriksen says Course schedules astral round-tripper By Karin Keutzer Of tfw Emerald Breathe slowly, deeply and rythmically Relax completely and make your mind quiet and receptive Close out any dis tractions or outside noises According to Fran Wood ward, instructor of the SEARCH course Parapsychology and You,' these techniques will produce the alpha state of consciousness, a state in which all extrasensory or paranormal events occur In the alpha state, which is similar to meditation, persons can engage in activities such as mental telepathy, psychokine sis, which is moving objects with the mind, past-life regression - reliving past lives and astral travel — when the soul leaves the body. Woodward says. Woodward says the right hemisphere of the brain is the key to attaining the alpha state 'We need to get in touch with our right hemisphere where the superconscience or the greater self lies," Woodward says. "All answers lie within our greater self " When in the alpha state, peo ple have the ability to perform the paranormal, including the ability to astral travel in the fourth dimension. In the fourth dimension, a person transcends space and time, Woodward says "The fourth dimension is what some people have termed heaven We leave our physical body and then cease to exist (in our present form),' she says Astral projection is only pos sible by emotionally traveling through the fourth dimension. Woodward says People are at tached to their physical bodies by a "silver cord" during astral travel, she says. ' We can astral travel for wards and backwards in time in the fourth dimension It is like re-running old TV movies " For the past seven years, Woodward taught a course on astral projection at California State University at Northridge. She says 80 percent of her students, some who initially were skeptical, learned to mas ter the skill. Skepticism of parapsy chology prevents the field from gaining credibility, Woodward says. "Right now the field is too new, and people haven't had time to accept it. It is analagous to the Copernican era when every one was positive the world was flat when indeed it was round,” she says. Psychic frauds also pose a problem. Woodward says 90 percent of psychics are cheaters who discredit the field. BLOOM COUNTY by Berke Breathed IT t» f-OR AN exemNfc eve/viNO with man MEV6 tWOAt).
