In some modern mind», the
legendary Confucian advice to
"see no evil, hear no evil, speak
no evil" has been translated into
one simple rule “ Don't get in
volved " Do nothing, says this
rule, and you won't get into
trouble
To a considerable degree, do-
nothing-ism has been sanctioned
by the common law. Traditionally
we have been reluctant to impose
anv legal penalty for the mere
failure to he helpful.
For example, courts have
turned down damage claims
against the following individuals
I) u man who watched impas
sively while a young woman
drowned, even though he could
easily have gone to her aid;
2) a man who called no warn
ing to a neighbor's child whom
he saw hammering on A tube of
gunpowder;
3) a man who failed to remove
a rock from the roadway, even
though he knew it was a menace
to traffic.
In each case the moral duty
was plain enough. Hut the courts
all agreed that moral duties were
a matter of conscience, not law.
In recent years, however, the
law has been requiring people Io
lend a hand in an increasing
number of situations notably,
when there is a special relation
ship between the parties.
Thus, courts have imposed an
affirmative duty on a host
toward his guest, on a store
toward its customer, on a hotel
toward its patron, on a railroad
toward its passengers.
Legislators, too, may create a
duty to act in specific circum
stances. Under hit-and-run stat
utes, for instance, a motorist
may be required to give aid to
accident victims regardless of
whether he was legally Io blame
for the accident.
I his kind of responsibility is
based neither on fault nor on any
special relationship. Rather, it is
based on a humanitarian feeling
that when the moral duty is so
clear, the law ought to put mus
cle behind it.

construed as irresponsible or

Heritage - “The Bend of

29 at 9:00 p.m. on KPTV,
explores the grasslands in
West Africa south of the
Sahara and the people who
inhabit the area.
Major
emphasis is on the Bambara
and Dogon tribes, both
famous for their dances and
sculpture.
Many Dogon sculptures,
decorated granary doors,
examples of architecture, and
figures in metal, terra cotta
and rock are seen, and a
ceremonial dance of masked
men is filmed.

There is someone who can help
you select the proper formal attire tor the
ment of Black objectives.
The Caucus must continue
to encourage this kind of
organizing for Oregon. What
must be avoided as much as
possible is the notion of indi
vidual efforts geared toward
the “ big daddy or big
mommy” roles. The advan
tage of the splinter group is
that it allows for specialists
to pool th e ir collective
thoughts and then make
recommendations to the
larger community in terms of
suggested d irection and
guidance.
This position is
d iffe re n t from the usual
splinter group interpretation
in which many small groups
deal with a large array of
issues in varying fields.
It is extremely encouraging
also to see so many good
brothers and sisters having
the opportunity to experience
the feeling of authorship that
accompanies organizational
efforts. These efforts should
serve as background and
foundation for the massive
task that is before us.
The Caucus welcomes Mr.
David Nero back to the com
munity wars and underscores
his continued move toward
"getting it together". Con
gratulations to the brothers

and the new- bottle bill, as
well as requirements for
state wide environm ental
planning, to be the major
accomplishments of this com
mittee. McCoy carried the
bottle bill on the floor of the
House.
McCoy favored Governor
McCall's tax plan and was
disappointed that it was de
feated by a vote of the
people. He thinks the new
tax plan passed by the legis
lature is a good plan.
McCoy is satisfied with the
legislation passed and the
state budgets.
He blames
lack of money and lack of
time for any failures in
legislation.
He thinks the
affirmative action program
and the Civil Rights Bureau
are adequately funded.
McCoy enjoyed his first
term at the Oregon Legis
lature.
He was surprised
and impressed at the amount
of time the legislators and
sta ff members devote
usually 12 to 14 hours a day.
He was also impressed by
the concern of the legislators
for their constituents.
McCoy feels much of the
success of the legislative
session was due to the in
volvement of the people of
Oregon.
Oregonians par
ticipated in legislative action
through hearings, letters and
contacts with the legislators
more than ever before. If
the citizens continue to be
involved and interested in
state government. Repre
sentative McCoy predicts
even more productive ses
sions in the future.
One of McCoy's personal
satisfactions was Oregon's
ra tific a tio n of the 14th
Amendment to the United
States Constitution, which
had been ratified in 1866,
and then the ratification re
voked. The 14th Amend
ment gives equal protection
to all citizens of the United
States.
