studies
drugs
The interacting effects of
marijuana and barbituates is
the subject of a research
project recently awarded a
$33,173 grant from the De
partment of Health, Educa
tion and Welfare's Public
Health Service.
The study is being con
ducted by Dr. Cord B. Seng
stake, associate professor of
psychology at Portland State
University.
Using laboratory rats as
subjects, Sengstake is inves
tigating the effects the two
depressant drugs have on
physiological systems when
used together and which are
not present when only one or
the other drugs is adminis
tered.
During his experiments,
Sengstake has noted electro
cardiogram changes and
dramatic decreases in heart
beat rates.
The study, funded through
May, 1974, is a continuance
of Sengstake’s four-year re
search of the effects of mari
juana on rats. According to
Sengstake, his work can be
described as a pre-clinical
study whose findings will
indicate whether or not fur
ther research applied to an
other animal species or hu
mans is necessary.
New local and long dis
Lance telephone rates for
Pacific Northwest Bell's Ore
gon customers went into
effect August 13. according
to Roy Schnaible. division
commercial manager.
The basic monthly service
charge fur residences and
most businesses will increase
by 15 cents per month,
Schnaible said.
Long dis
Lane« charges for calls be
tween Oregon communities
more than 40 miles apart will
also increase.
In Portland, for example,
the new monthly rate for
basic telephone service will
be: $7.25 for one party resi
dences; $19.90 for one party
businesses.
Some new charges for long
d istan ce calls (custom er
dialed, three minute call on a
weekday) within Oregon in
elude:
$.47, Portland to
Salem;
$.78. Portland to
Eugene-Springfield;
$1.04.
Portland to Medford.
The charge to install a
telephone has also been in
creased. The new rate will
be either $20 or $30 for
residences, depending on the
telephone equipment already
in the residence and the
work done on the premises.
New rates for business will
be $35. Before the increase
the charges were $15 for
residence and $30 for busi
ness.
The Public Utility Com
m issioner directed Pacific
Northwest Bell to provide
a four month payment plan to
installation charges for those
customers who would prefer
not to pay all of the charges
with their first bill.
PNB was also directed to
proceed with a yearlong
trial of low priced two party
residence telephone service
in Springfield and in the
office serving about 32.000
customers in Northeast Port
land. The trial will begin
this fall in Springfield, and
early next year in Portland.
The service will cost $3 95
per month. A maximum of
ten outgoing local calls are
allowed, with a ten cent
charge for each additional
local call. There will be no
limit on incoming calls.
Some of the other rates
approved include:
Non published telephone
numbers will cost 50 cents
per month beginning Sunday.
September 9. The telephone
company will also offer a
new "non-hsted” telephone
service which cost 50 cents
per month.
The non pub
lished number would not be
available in either the tele
phone directory or from Dir
ectory Assistance. The "non
listed" number would not be
printed in the telephone dir
ectory, but could be obtained
from Directory Assistance.
The charges were approved
to help offset the cost to
maintain Ih e confidential
nature of VW numbers.
Increases were approved
for PBX (private branch ex
change) trunk lines, key tele
phone systems and CEN
TREX services.
PNB's customers will re
ceive detailed information on
the rate increases in their
telephone bills later this
month.
The entire list of
new rates is on file at each
Pacific Northwest Bell busi-
ness office in Oregon.

There is a very hot issue
in the nation and in our com
munity among Black people.
It'a so hot that whomever
touches it gets burned re
gardless of how it's handled.
However, many sisters have
been pushing the issue of
Black/white social dating and
marriage as something that
must be dealt with NOW. I
am therefore obliged, as my
good female friends state, to
take my lumpV-also.
First of all, it did not seem
to rank very high when
placed in the same arena
with hunger, unemployment,
traditional racism, unfit hous
ing, lack of educational op
portunities and political im
prison/nent.
However, the
sisters state that the issue of
Black/white social dating and
marriage permeates all sec
tors, factions, classes, philo
sophies and ages. The ques
tion is, according to our
Black sisters, more on the
order of what should be de
sirable for the Black man
along racial lines rather than
just what is desirable in
terms of qualities. The issue
at the moment seems to
dwell around Black males
and white females.
In polling some of the
Black brothers informally, the
following notions and quali

residents of the area, would
be better able to communi
rate the benefits and the
limitations of the home repair
program to the homeowner,
Jackson slated.
PDC and Model Cities will
look into the ramifications of
the transfer and reach a
decision within a week.
The Home Improvement
Program is supposed to give
prelerence to minority con
tractors through ACA. but
thus far no working relation
ship has been established
between the two agencies.
Kay Wilson of PDC has al
lotted the jobs by calling in
contractors who were avail
able at the time of the phone
call. Those who cannot be
reached by telephone during
the day do not get the work.
The work also has gone to
speciality rather than gen
eral contractors. Wilson had
no statistics available, but
Andrew Raubeson, Acting
Director of the Model Cities
Agency, estimated (he |>er
rentage at 35 percent of the
jobs and 24 percent of the
money to minority contrac
tors.
If the ACA is awarded the
project, they will allocate
work on a rotating basis «>
all minority contractors ran
benefit equally.

tistics to ACA; relea se

according to his ability. This
year, for the first time, the
third sequence will be com
bined with Writing 121 so
that students can also earn
credit for this course which
is required for graduation.
W hile taking the special
reading and math courses,
PLUS students are also en
rolled in the regular univer
sity courses in their chosen
field.
Ms. latne is beginning her
third year with PLUS. A
native of Chicago, she grad
uated from Northeast Illinois
State College in Chicago in
1968 with a degree in Edura
lion.
She taught second
grade in the Chicago public
schools and did educational
television broadcasts for 4th
grade Social Science.
She earned her MA at
Atlanta University in 1971
and became a Certified Read
ing Specialist. She served as
a graduate assistant at Spell
man College in Atlanta lor a
year, and it was there that
she was discovered by Hill
Wilkerson and talked into
coming to Portland.
Ms. Lane is glad she came
to P'-'ll, where she has the
opportunity to assist with a
valuable program. She sees
students not only learn to
read better but mature and
grow in their attitudes. She
finds most of the PLUS slu

ties were expressed.
The
most frequently expressed
notion was that the brothers
wanted someone in their
corner who is non compete
tive. Next was the notion of
a partner who understood
their ego needs and satisfied
them. Unfortunately, there
was no expression of the
brothers giving along the
same lines; just taking. Some
of the desirable qualities
most often expressed are:
attractive, charming, pleasur
able, delightful, soulful, to
gether, passionate, with-it,
affectionate, poised and in
terested in the Black struggle
and the Black man. The most
frightening qualities that a
woman could have are com
bativenesc and the tendency
to make attacks upon the
Black male character, e.g.
their individual worth as a
human being.
We know that some Black
women are the possessors of
such qualities and all have
the capability of possessing
all of the desirable qualities
mentioned.
The question
then is do some Klaek men
prefer the white woman who
possesses the same qualities
because she is white.
If
whiteness is the deciding
criteria then a terrible injus
tice is in the land and that
kind of rarisrn cannot be
tolerated. There also has to
be a look at whether Black
men and women are com
batants and whether one or
both attack the character of
the other.
It would v e m
that a person would prefer
being considered the greatest
rather than the worst or just
another person. Statements
like, "that's a no-good man"
or “that woman doesn't mean
you any good" are not really
terms of endearment.

If the issue of Black/white
social dating and marriage is
to continue to get in the way
of necessary organizing and
strategizing, then we must
deal with it. The question
has to lx' resolved in terms
of desirable personal quali
ties. We can each work at
becoming desirable hut ran't
do much about our color.
We cannot deal with the
issue of whiteness versus
Blackness if white is auto
matically desirable as is the
contention of some Black
men and women. We must
also recognize that some
Black men and some Black
women will find white part
ners more desirable.
Our
concern, therefore, must be
some way of legitimating the
process so that whiteness
isn't unfairly weighted. Some
Black men and Black women
are calling for a summit.
