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.
