for top school post
K Boring man has an
nounced his candidacy for
Oregon state superinten
dent of public instruction
Gene Lehman, innovator
of a phonetic spelling lab,
said, “ I am running
because 1 believe no other
candidate will question the
two basic premises of our
education system govern
ment control and tax finan
cing "
He said he considers
those "fatal flaws" in the
public school system
‘‘1 believe that govern
ment control, especially
compulsory attendance,
has created an economical
ly unstoppable and educa
tionally inefficient school
system. Lehman said
"All of the proposals for
m an ip u latin g tax p ro
grams are simply avoiding
the basic issue I think we
have to develop a means of
financing education that is
not
d ep en d e n t
on
taxation.** he said
Lehman said he supports
learning networks that are
independent of government
control and financing
Schools of any kind can
participate in these net

"Learning centers can
produce much of the
teaching and learning
material according to in

The candidate believes
that less government con
trol would improve educa

"Schools should not be
government tools for social
engineering, mass medica

whatever is currently in
favor,” he said ‘ Govern

Appeals court hopeful
campaigns in Sandy
Jonathan Newman, can
didate in the M ay 18
primary election for the
Oregon Court of Appeals,
emphasizes the importance
of bringing a "fresh view
point to the judicial pro
cess” in his statewide cam
paign
"Independent and fresh
insight of appellate courts
is strengthened if new
talent on the appellate
court, such as the Court of
Appeals, is not always
drawn from within the
c o u rt s y s te m ," sa id
Newman who was cam
paigning in Sandy last
week
An attorney in private
practice for more than 28
years, Newman listed in
telligence to deal with the
increased complexity of
the le g a l system , an
understanding of conflic
ting points of view, an abili
ty to work on a variety of
problems simultaneously,
hard work and patience as
essential to a private prac
ticing attorney as well as
an appellate judge
“The private practicing
lawyer has much to con
tribute to an appellate
court,” he said. "His ex
perience has been in deal
ing directly with the varied
human, personal and oc
cupational problems of
clients
“ A lawyer who has work
ed in the field of general
private practice can bring
»
Jonathan Newman
a perspective to the ap
pellate court's delibertions
which should help the
decision-making process,"
Newman s private prac
tice has ranged from settl
ing up small businesses to
s o lv in g
e m p lo y m e n t
disputes, from advising
clients on real estate tran
sactions to guiding in
dividuals through govern
ment procedures.
He has served as a
Multnomah County Circuit
Court judge “pro tern” and
as a U.S District Court
trial master He was a
member of the Portland
School Board for 11 years
" I believe that an able
practicing lawyer from
outside the system, who is
concerned about human
problems and their fair
solution, by bringing an in
dependent and fresh view
to the work of the appellate
court, has much to offer the
public in effective and
useful service.” Newman
said
