The People at Pacific Power
The anatomy of an election
rip off can take many dif
ferent forma. We have wit
nessed in the last month the
recall ot a Black City Council
man. D 'A rm y Bailey, in
Berkeley, California.
In many states elected of
ficials can be removed by
gaining anwhere from 25%
to 50% of the registered
voters' names on a petition
that requires a new election.
This is called recall.
We
have many examples of recall
in our history. Recall was
used during the Southern
Reconstruction in the 1870's.
Our first Black congressmen
were targets of recall during
the 1872 elections. Most of
the attempts were unsuc
cessful. The biggest problem
of fighting recall is to make
the voters understand that
the recall election is as im
portant as the initially won
election.
Recall is one of the few
techniques used often to rid
government of ineffective and
sometimes co rru p t leader
ship. The Joint Center for
Political Studies, in Wash
ington, D.C., in a recent re
port, revealed that recall was
used most often in the rid
ding of incompetent judges.
Their report also states that
there are very few instances
in the use of recall for elimi
nating city officials.
The overwhelming impetus

may apply for Basic Educa
tional Opportunity Grants,
which are awarded on the
basis of financial need.
Dr. Richard Streeter, d ir
ector of financial aids at
Portland State University,
says students may apply by
picking up forms in his office
on campus, then mailing them
to Iowa City. Iowa.
Within a month ot the time
the forms are mailed, a stu
dent is notified how much his
family can be exptected to
pay for his education.
Then, the student takes
the form to the school of his
choice, which figures the
amount of the basic educa
tional grant.
Streeter says students may
apply through February 1.
1974.
If a student demonstrates
financial need, he will receive
some aid under the program.
Streeter said.
The maximum available is
$452 per year while the
minimum is $50 per year.
The U.S. Department of
Health. Education and Wei
fare, which administers the
program, says some $122
million will be available this
year.
Streeter added that he
