Two of the fastest
gun-slingers in the world visited
A.H.S. Oct. 13. 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

In the last issue of the Rogue

was printed. However, through
an oversight we omitted one of
the Humanities classes from our
list. This was the "Introduction

After several misfires he shot the
two balloons. The boys checked
the gun to see that both blanks
had been fired.
Chuck Wiley challenged Mr.
Munden to a drawing contest.
Wiley's reaction time was .16 as
compared to Mr. Munden's .03.

SOC Hosts Symposium
"A Search for Values"
Our society today is in a
constant state of change. 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

conditions. 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.
