Can Raineeshpuram be a city?
By Brooks Dareff
04 the Emerald
"We have come to the inevitable conclusion
that... Rajneeshpuram cannot be a city." ■
— Oregon Attorney General Dave Frohnmayer
Frohnmayer's opinion — which does not carry
the force of law — may be premature based on the
existing evidence, says Dave Fidanque of the Eugene
chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
On Oct. 7, Frohnmayer said he was prepared to
file suit to bring about the dismantling of the city.
Frohnmayer wrote that Rajneeshpuram's existence
constituted a violation of "the constitutional prohibi
tion against intermingling of church and state."
"It’s a simple answer to a complex question,"
says Fidanque.
The ACLU has not taken an official position on
the issue, but it will before the issue is resolved
judicially, says Fidanque. The group wants more in
formation before it will come to a decision.
Among the assumptions that need to be cor
roborated is that no one but Rajneeshis can live in
the city or teach in the schools. If this is true, Ra
jneeshpuram would constitute a community which
practices religious favoritism, and so would be in
violation of state provisions guaranteeing religious
freedom.
In his opinion, Frohnmayer acknowledges that
his office has not yet obtained testimony, documents
or actual city regulations that confirm the accuracy of
his assumptions.
"We feel a responsibility now to determine
whether the facts are as we believe," he writes.
If the state can prove that "you have to be a Ra
jneeshi to be on the school board," says Fidanque,
then the city would be violating the Oregon Con
stitution, which prohibits religious affiliation from
being a qualification for secular office.
Among the church and state interrelationships at
issue in Rajneeshpuram are school support funds
and revenue-sharing monies which are obtained by
the state from gasoline and cigarette taxes and liquor
revenues and distributed to all Oregon cities.
The Oregon Bill of Rights prohibits money from
being appropriated by the state to aid religious in
stitutions, which includes distributing publicly fund
ed textbooks to parochial schools, according to a
1962 opinion of the Oregon Supreme Court.
In his opinion, Frohnmayer wrote that the city
was the "functional equivalent of a religious com
mune" because its property is owned by a corpora
tion which is itself owned by a religious foundation.
The problem, he says, is determining at what
point freedom of religion impinges on the govern
ment non-sponsorship of religion, and vice versa.
Frohnmayer was asked to file the opinion about
the legality of the incorporation of the city of Ra
jneeshpuram by State Rep. Mike McCracken. In
order for any legal action to be taken against Ra
jneeshpuram, a lawsuit would have to be filed.
No lawsuit has been filed, but last Thursday Gov.
Vic Atiyeh sent Frohnmayer a letter which he says
clears the way for him to go to court on the issue.

A Walkman cassette player worth

Council members |ohn Ball and
Mark Lindberg.
The meeting, which is open to
interested students, will take
place in the ASUO offices. Suite 4
IMU.
McCarthy says Rowe agrees
with her that available parking on
campus is not apportioned fairly.
"Faculty and staff have cove
nient, paid, reserved spots
available to them .., but students
have* nothing close to their classes
or nothing paid. They're stuck way
off in a corner somewhere," Mc
Carthy says.
/>_ =
That “corner" is the Bean lot,
located on the corner of 15th
Avenue and Moss Street. Students
who have never lived in the dorms
may not even know that lot exists,
McCarthy says.
At today's meeting, McCarthy
will bring up possible alternatives
to the Bean lot along with pro
blems that would result from im
plementation of the proposed
parking plan.
After dealing with the University
problem, the students will be
ready to work with the city
Monday.
Landman, who set up a series ot
meetings with the public next
week, says he's “trying to get
students, nurses and BLM
employees to be part of what's
happening."
"What the city hopes to ac
complish at the first meeting is to
sit down face to face and get con
cerns and issues that need to be
dealt with into a committee
system," Landman says.
He sees next week's meetings as
"a way to reconcile the lack of in
volvement and inclusion that
students and employees have
experienced."
