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.
