Bob and Becky M Linden are professionals in the sport of fast gun shooting. They have been shooting for the past 17 years. They exhibited their skills at the national assembly. A timing device used especially for clocking the speed of the draw was used in the presentation. It consisted of a box-like structure with a clock on the front of it. The clock's numbers ranged from one to one-hundreths of a second. Two lights, one blue and one red, were placed at either side of the box. A white light was placed on top of the clocking device. Speakers were placed at either sides of the box near the two colored lights. The white light had two purposes. First it triggered the clock to start and secondly it was a signal for the gunman to draw and shoot. The speakers stopped by the clock by the blast of the gun. Bob Mundcn demonstrated the draws of Marshall Dillon of Gunsmoke and Glen Ford. Their times were .85 of a second and .43 of a second as compared to Mr. Munden's .28 of a second. No tricks were used throughout the program. Keith Wentela, Wynn Wenker, and Larry Walters were used as witnesses for the next stunt. Mr. Munden shot twice at two We goofed...

Many people are challenging the existing institutions and the impact is being felt everywhere. Now is the time to deal with these issues. Thus, the symposium, "Liberation: A Search for Values", was set up. The symposium was held on the Southern Oregon College . campus October 18th, 19th, and 20th. Featured were four outstanding speakers: "radical" Saul Alinsky, RAND Corporation researcher Norman Dalkey, Chicago Daily News columnist Sydney J. Harris, and sociologist James Laue. Sydney Harris gave the address, "The Search for Values in an Affluent Society," to a spellbound audience. He claimed that people have no freedom without security, and with security comes choice, and choice means freedom. He dwelt upon the paradoxes found in the affluent American society. He said that each one of us is greater, more complex, and more worthwhile than society, but we must place the needs of society before our own or both will perish. Dr. Laue's "Original Sin and Social Change: Is Liberation Possible", provided a pessimistic view of the nature of man and society. He said there is little hope of any lasting liberation. Dr. Laue claimed life is a termainl illness and raised the question . . . As long as were all dead, what difference does it make?" He claimed that it doesn't make a difference, but that the trick of every culture is to act like it does. Dr. Laue stated three current myths concerning liberation and social changes in America today. First, he noted that things haven't gotten better for the Blacks within the last few years. As proof, he pointed to ghetto MODE 0'DAY LADIES' FINE READY-TO-WEAR APPAREL 297 E.

Secondly. Dr. Laue believes total liberation to be impossible. Finally, he claimed it is a myth to think that America is more violent today than in the past. Dr. Dalkey. a "physicist-philosopher", spoke on "Measuring the Quality of Life." He incorporated mathematics and statistics into an analysis of the "quality of life" important to different factions of the population. Dr. Dalkey brought up some interesting test results. The question, "What kings of things constitute happiness," was asked of upper classmen and graduate students. Love and affection ranked first. On the whole students ranked security high. It's interesting that engineers ranked achievement on a higher level than security. Saul Alinsky spoke on "Revolution and the Middle Class." The "professional radical" urged his audience to work through the system for changes. He claims that the actions force behind a revolutionary change will have to be the middle class. They make up 75 of the population and, therefore, are the only force strong enough to make a revolutionary change. The student forum on "Women's Liberation: A Man's Point of View" was presented in an interesting manner. A three-man panel staged a "put-on" as a means for generating audience participation. Lively discussions were brought about by charges and counter -charges from members of the audience. Fach of the major speeches was followed by a discussion panel and a question period. Related films, were also shown during the symposium. The symposium drew to a close with a "Rap-Up" session Tuesday night.
