Call 346-3712§ Mediator tells of neo-Nazis ■ Richard Salem describes a difficult case to law students By Hank Hager Oregon Daily Emerald Richard Salem, former U.S. Com munity Relations Service federal mediator, said Wednesday night that if he had not helped intervene in a dispute between neo-Nazis and Holocaust survivors, he would have been afraid for the lives of those in volved. Salem’s speech, “Should We Mediate with Neo-Nazis?”, ad dressed the nearly two-year long battle between the residents of Skokie, 111., and the neo-Nazis. The speech at the Knight Law Center attracted more than 50 interested law students and community members. Lisa Kloppenberg, director of the Appropriate Dispute Resolution program, said even though the in cident occurred far in the past, there is still reason to analyze it. “Even though the Skokie Nazi 3 ANNUAL MEETING Wednesday, April 18 / 3:30 pm Wesley Center Fellowship Hall 1236 Kincaid (behind the Bookstore) ■ Nominate yourself or someone else 2 Sophomore Positions I Freshman Position 1 Faculty Position 2 Graduate Positions ■ Recommendations or proposals ■ Drinks & snacks ■ Prize drawings Board members receive a $50 monthly stipend to attend a monthly meeting.

Frank Collin, leader of the neo-Nazi group, attempted to gain access to Marquette Park, but was rebuffed unless he paid a $350,000 bond in case of damage. When he could not afford to do so and tensions rose between the two groups, Salem and his partner, Werner Petterson, were assigned to mediate the dispute. But at the time, the role of the federal agency was not as a mediator. “The parties wanted a conflict, not a resolution,” Salem said. “We served as an intermediary between Skokie and the neo-Nazis, and from our experience, we were able to give advice.” Eventually, a split in the neo Nazi party allowed for Skokie res idents to rest easier regarding the neo-Nazi presence in the city. Salem had convinced the party to hold their rally at a free-speech plaza in Chicago, and on July 9, 1978, the party held its demonstra tion. “You set a goal and try to find a way to stop this thing,” Salem said. Jane Gardner, assistant dean of the Knight Law Center, said she hopes law students can take a look at the situation that occurred and apply what they know to the fu ture. “This case raises a lot of ques tions about constitutional law,” she said.
