It w ill work for Oregon if retailers use it and use it w ell,” he said. No m a tte r w hat i t ’s labeled, it is still theft and a m a jo r problem facing retailers in Oregon and across the nation, Canon told 30 persons at an a n ti shopping seminar Monday sponsored by the Gresham Area Chamber of Com merce. “ You won’t win all your cases. You’re not out to win all the cases. You’re out for the reduction of a very costly crim e.” An estimated $9 billion worth of merchandise is shoplifted annually in the United Suites with as much as $90 m illion taken from Oregon stores, Canon said. But Oregon’s new anti shoplifting law — if used properly by merchants — w ill curtail the “ growth industry” of shoplifting, he said. H l Hl Passed by the 1979 Legislature, the law allows merchants to file civil suits against suspected shoplifters to recover damages. The new law , which became effective Oct. 3, also makes parents liable if their children shoplift. Changing a price is also a violation of the law. “ The law is not perfect,” Canon said. “ The law is not going to end shoplifting. Shoplifting w ill never end, i t ’s a growth industry, but the law w ill curtail it. The civil law must be used along with existing crim inal law to combat crime, Canon said. “ The civil law is dif ferent in that it is entirely initiated and pursued by the merchant,’’ he said. Canon gave the retailers a step-by-step guide on how to handle a suspected shoplifter from the time they spot the theft through the follow-up le tte rs seeking com pensation. To build the strongest possible case, both civil and c rim in a l, the m erchant should see someone walk up to a display, pick up an ob ject and conceal it or act with an intent to steal it. The suspect should be watched until he or she leaves the store. “ We advise, for the best case, to at least let them hit the door . . . or at least let them get by the checkstand,” Canon said. Under the civil law, a merchant is entitled to three types of damage. The first is the actual damage to the merchandise, the second penalty is the value of the For example, if someone steals a $30 shirt that can be returned to the rack when recovered, the actual damage figure would be nothing, the second penalty would be $30 and the m inimum additional penalty would be $100 for a grand total of $130. The civil process is set in motion by a letter from the m e rc h a n t d e m a n d in g payment. In 70 percent to 75 percent of the cases, the money is sent upon receipt of the first letter, Canon said. In about 95 percent of the cases the money is sent following the second letter demanding payment. Les Schwab has the “ But, at the same time. I ’m apprehensive that we tighten entrance re quirements and establish competencies, anil then put the burden to fu lfill these expectations solely on students and E nglish departments. “ More has to happen than m erely say AU rig h t, English teachers, you are now responsible for teaching students to w rite .’ English teachers simply cannot do it by themselves.” he said. I want to know what else is going on in the curriculum , says Frank. I want to know w ill students be asked to write in their history classes, in their science classes and in their English literature classes. How well one writes is reflected in how well one reads, Frank added. “ Reading and w riting are skills that go hand in hand. If you neglect reading, it is extremely difficult to w rite,” he said. “ W riting is a very complex activity. You have to think. You have to feel. You have to know the subject. And if you put all the emphasis on the mechanics, and not on the thinking, the feeling and the reading, you’ll fail in the teaching of w riting.” In all honesty, I think the quality of writing w ill im prove dram atically if, in addition to taking writing courses offered by English departments, students are required to write throughout their four years at the university, he added. "So, English departments have got to have the support of other faculty members in asking students to w rite,” emphasizes Frank. To encourage OSU faculty to encourage OSU students to write well, Frank said his departm ent has started offering seminars which help faculty members to read papers, and pay attention to the quality of writing, as well as course content. “ There are ways one can read papers with an eye to the quality of writing that is not that time consuming,” he says. “ And we have skilled R iE C E L m n n n / Seles end Service 301 I.

Student council members began pushing fo r new playground equipment last year, and raised $59 from their Haunted House to help pay for it. The Canon said i t ’s important that merchants follow the process all the way through co urt. Otherwise word spreads that a particular store owner never does anything after the second letter and nothing happens. people willing to work with other faculty in that regard. “ It seems to me,” he adds, “ that now is the ideal time to work out a coherent con ception of what writing is — not just the w riting one does for an English course, not just the writing one does f° r a u n iv e rs ity education — but the w riting one does as a lifelong ac tiv ity .” ESTACADA— Where do the children play? At the Estacada Middle School, they play on scanty swings and old playground equipment. But not for long. A wooden combination set of two slides, parallel bars, swings, rings, horizontal bars and plat forms arrived last week and is expected to be set up soon. for Writing concern o f all Don’t put the blame solely on English teachers if Johnny can’t write well, says the head of Oregon State University’s English de partment. “ There has to be a con certed effort on the part of the whole school system — by all teachers, administrators and par ents — that insists on and encourages students to write well,” says Robert Frank. Responding to the recent State Board of H igher Education decision requiring English entrance exams at OSU by fall term, 1981, the educator says, “ I ’m pleased by the concern expressed about the quality of student writing. Local kids get swings Traction Tire... YOUR CARF For the remaining cases, the merchant files action in small claims court. In Washington, shoplifting has shifted from the stores which file a civil action even for $1 or $2 items to the stores that don’t take further ac tion, according to Canon. " I f the c ivil penalty is not used, the deterrent aspect of the law w ill be reduced, he said. Anyone interested in being a substitute teacher or aide should c a ll Clackamas E.S.D. at 635-4341 or 221-0116 and ask for Donna Rollins or Evelyn Moser.
