Roberts lauds opponent, but says she will win post Kep. Baroara KODerts, U-Portland — Democratic candidate for Secretary of State — praised her opponent for the Democratic nomination Thursday, but claimed she is particularly qualified to win and excel in a job Oregon Democrats haven't held since 1878. Speaking at a special session of the Lane Democratic Forum, Roberts said her accounting background and her administrative experience are "credentials that will make a dif ference" in November. She said her 17 years of work within the Democratic party would make her a visible candidate with good organizational resources. Roberts also acknowledged that "name familiarity is a political asset," particularly in rural areas of the state. Her husband, Frank Roberts, has been a state senator from Portland since 1967. But Roberts had only praise for her r Democratic opponent, ben. Jim Gard ner, D-Portland. "I wish Jim and I were not in the same race. I tried to get him to run for mayor of Portland against Frank Ivan cie,'' Roberts said. "I think its a shame that both of us will not be coming back to the Legislature." Roberts said she campaigned for Gardner when he first ran — and won — his Senate seat in 1979. "I'd do it again, but I'm going to beat him," she said, citing a poll which gave her a 59 percent to 27 per cent lead over Gardner. Roberts said as Secretary of State she would seek to computerize overloaded offices and expand public participation in State Land Board deci sions, which affect timber and grazing activities. The current Secretary, Norma Paulus, is leaving the office after serv ing the constitutional limit of two terms. Student counselors must report child abuse cases By Melissa Martin Of the Emerald About 10 months ago, University Lawyer Peter Swan requested legal infor mation on psychology students' respon sibilities to report child abuse, and last week the Oregon Attorney General responded. Students working in the psychology and counseling clinics are required by law to report suspected child abuse cases to their supervisors, the attorney general reported. But psychology and counseling super visors do not have to report cases because of "privilege communication" that exists in client-counselor relation ships, Swan says. The responsibility to report suspected cases is part of the students' educational experience and the clients' protection. Swan said in an interview Thursday. After Swan gave a series of legal seminars for psychology students last April, the issue of reporting child abuse cases remained an ongoing concern, he says. "What our policy is we are very clear on. Certainly any of our students would report to supervisors," says Robyn Dawes, psychology department head. "It's a very rare situation," Dawes says of specific cases. And both legal and moral aspects come into play, Swan says. "They've (students) got the good of human beings at stake and this is a ques tion if more good is being derived from continuing open relations or more good is derived from protecting the suspected victim," Swan says. The attorney general's report, though not a black and white road map for the future, is the product of combined research and opinions and provides a better situation than existed before, Swan says. "The attorney general's opinion coin cides with my advice," Swan says. ...
