60 E. 13th 344-7894
vetoed plans by two South
Salem High School teachers to
study the religious sect of In
dian guru Bhagwan Shree
Rajneesh.
Teachers Mike Stortz and
John Turman had hoped to
spend two days at R a -
jneeshpuram gathering infor
mation for classroom
presentations.
Stortz said he and Turman
had planned to videotape inter
views with Rajneeshees and
record other activities at the
central Oregon commune-city.
“We had some super ques
tions the kids wrote up,” Stortz
said. “We were wanting to use
it for a classroom experience.”
The proposed trip was given
tentative approval by Salem
Salem principal Dan Johnson,
but later was rejected by Jim
Tacchini, associate superinten
dent for secondary operations.
Tacchini said he turned down
the teachers’ trip in large part
because of the volatile situation
in W'asco County, where
busloads of urban transients
have been imported to
Rajneeshpuram.
“It was a judgment call.” he
said. “1 just didn’t want to take
the risk of putting those guys in
jeopardy, even remotely.”
Tacchini said the possibility
of adverse public reaction to the
teachers’ trip also was a factor
in his decision to call it off.
Some Salem residents com
plained last year when two Ra
jneeshees were invited to speak
to a privately sponsored
teachers organization as part of
a program for teachers at
Sprague High School.

Town turns out
for ‘book pass’
OAKLAND — As part of this
Douglas County city’s 106th bir
thday celebration, parents,
teachers, and schoolchildren
formed a book brigade four
blocks long to transfer materials
from the old Oakland Library to
the new one in the historic
Washington School.
Verb Bittner, school
superintendent in the city of
870 people north of Koseburg,
rang the old bell in Washington
School on Monday to signal
students four blocks away to
begin passing the books. When
they were finished about 1,000
volumes were passed hand-to
hand into the new library,
Led by a chant of, “Pass those
books,” the students handed,
tossed, and slid the books along
to each other. Some.used fancy
behind-the-back passes.
The human chain began with
high school students and ended
with kindergarteners. It was the
idee of Barbara Downs Bond, a
former library aide with the
elementary school.
U.S. Rep. Jim W'eaver,
Douglas County Commissioners
Doug Robertson and Bill Vian,
and city officials took turns in
the book brigade.
