Tuesday, the House Educa tion Committee unanimously passed a bill that would abolish an agreement with Washington State that allows Oregon students attending school in Washington to use their need grants in that state. An agreement was made bet ween the two states that allow ed students to pay in state tui tion while attending a school in the other state. A provision of that agreement allowed students to use their need grants while participating in the program. Washington, however, was not allowing its students atten ding Oregon schools to spend their need grants here. The bill now moves to the Mouse. Also this week Gov. Neil Goldschmidt said he opposes MB 3147, which would aliolish the 55 mph speed limit on Oregon’s rural roads and in terstate highways.

Goldschmidt said he would support a move to put the issue before the voters. Prominent poet, translator to read women's works By Sarah Kitchen Of I hr Kmerald Margaret Kumiall. who has been described as one of the foremost translators of Third World women's poetry and pro se will present some of her works at the University this Sunday. Kandall. an author of more than 40 books, was invited to talk at the University by the Committee in Solidarity with the Central American People, and various other local groups There ant a couple of reasons why Kandall was chosen to speak at the University, said janice Zagorin. a member of C1SCAP. One is because she is a well known poet and translator of I,atin American works, and another is that at the moment. Kandall is under the threat of deportation from the United States, Zagorin said. Although Kandall was born in the United States, she relin quished her U.S. citizenship in order to work in Mexico in the early (Mis. She fled to Cuba, where she lived for 12 years, after involvement in Mexican student protests in 1968. Kan dall also lived in Nicaragua for four years and returned to Albu querque. New Mexico in 1984. "The U.S. government is try ing to deport her under a MacCarthy-era law that allows people to be excluded from the United States due to their ideological beliefs," Xagorin said. The act Randall faces deporta tion under is called the McCarran-Walter act, and there have been a number of people deported under this act during the Reagan administration. Zagorin added. Contributions made during the visit will go to the Center for Constitutional Rights to help with her defense. Randall will present a reading titled "Our Sisters' Voices,” which is a poetry reading from the voices of women in Latin and Central America, incor porating formal poetry with bits of testimony and letters. Apart from working as an author, a poet, a photographer, an activist, a midwife and a teacher. Randall is also the co founder and editor of the periodical K I Corno kmplumado, (The Plumed Horn). This magazine publish ed the first works in English translation of such l.atin American writers as Octavio Paz and Ernesto Cardenal.

April 17. Dancer promises variety By Sarah Kitchen WlkEmnU It it not likely that any two of kiken Chin's performances will be the same. Chin will perform on Friday and Saturday at the University in the Gerllnger gymnasium. The contemporary dancer who moved to Eugene from Japan. via New York, believes dancing is a way to show the emotions and changes that occur in day-to-day life "If I do some piec e one day. It will be dif ferent another day. bec ause my life is always different, and I am changing." Chin said. "I believe what I am doing is more than dance, it is something very personal that is dealing with emotions." Chin said. While admitting that his dance-style could be termed as avant-garde. Chin explain ed that he does not use much of the tradilUtn.il dam * technique* u««d in other forms of donee, such as ballet. **l dance with images instead of steps, and I use my life experience in my dance. I pay at tention to my findings, and when I feel sad or happy, 1 try to memorize that feeling to put in to steps.” Chin expects his weekend performances at the University to be relatively informal: however, whal he performs depends largely on the atmosphere projected from the audience.
