guidelines for the approval of
legal aaaiatant education pro

The PCC program haa
been developed with the help
of a college advisory com
mittee composed of prar
tiring attorneys, the dean of
the Northwest School of I<aw
at le w is and Clark College,
judges serving the Circuit
Court of Multnomah County,
representatives of the legal
secretary associations of
W ashington C ounty and
Portland, and business man
agers of two of the largest
law firms in Portland.
Beginning with one class in
the fall of 1971. the PCC
program now serves 380 atu
dents, with a maximum of 35
students |>er class, and em
ploys over 30 practicing at

metropolitan area as in

A three man team sent by

City attorney. The team felt
unanimously that the pro
gram at PCC reflects a
"really superior effort in in
volving the Oregon State
Bar. the legal secretary as
sociation» in the area, and
the college in an effort to
provide a quality legal aaaia
tant training program,** and
described it as having “the
potential of serving as a
national
model
for
legal
assistant training." Looking
forward to the ABA Con

D e n v e r, Colorado, team
members agreed that in
formation gathered at PCC
would be valuable in their
discussions.
The PCC program, whose
classes are scheduled during
e’—ning hours only, is open
to any student interested
ia this type of training.
Most, however, are people
already employed in the legal
field who wish to upgrade
their potential.
Students
have the choice of taking
individual courses to com
plete requirements for a PCC
certificate, or undertaking
the two year associate de
gree program.
Formal certification of legal
assistants has been instituted
by the Oregon State Bar
I^egal Assistant Committee.

associate degree in the field
of legal assistants, must have

HOWARD CHERRY
The story behind this
event is another of the sel
dom written sordid tacts of
history in early America
that of the dehumanization
of the native Indian by the
“ new” Americans.
One day while driving in
the countryside near the
young city o f Boston, Eliot
saw a farmer plowing a
Held, using an Indian to pull
the plow. As the farmer
plied his whip, Eliot jumped
from his wagon with an
angry shout.
“ You can’t treat a hu
man being like that,” he
said. “ Release him !”
“ He's not a human be
ing," retorted the farmer.
“ He’s a savage And if you
want him released, pay me
10 gold pieces so I can buy
a horse, and I'll give him to
you.”
Eliot only had 11 gold
pieces to his name, but he
counted out the 10 without
hesitation and gave them to
the farmer.
"Y o u are free to return
to your people," Eliot told
the Indian. But the Indian
thought he had simply a
new master, and climbed
into the wagon and took the
reins.
Eliot took the Indian,
whom he named Job Neu-
stan, home with him. Dur
ing the months which fol
low ed , Eliot laboriously
taught the Indian to speak,

resented North Portland in
two regular and two special
elections. He is running for
re-election as State Repre
sentative for District 14.
In 1971, Howard Cherry'»
first session, he was on the
Education Committee and on
the Ixx-al Government Com
mittee.

were spent on the codifi
ration of the laws regarding
community colleges.
This
activity stabilized and estab
lished on a permanent basis
the outstanding community
college programs in Oregon.
A main project in the 1971
Ixx-al Government Commit
tee was the establishment of
the Oregon Fair Plan bill and
its companion crime insur
anee bill. These bills were
carried by Howard Cherry.
They guarantee the right to
buy
com prehensive
and
crime insurance for your
home or business at reason
able rates. The 1973 session
has given these laws per
manent status.
In the 1973 Session of the
Oregon Legislature, Howard
Cherry was appointed to the
critical jiosition of Chairman
of the Revenue Committee.
Among many projects of the
committee, two are out
standing: property for relief
to homeowners and progress
toward 50 percent state
support of elementary and
secondary schools.
As a member of the
Human Resources Committee
Howard Cherry helped to
pass legislation to fund public
welfare more realistically in
Oregon.
Benefits
were
increased for the injured
workmen and their depend
enta.
Howard Cherry has en
joyed Labor support. labor's
analysis of Howard Cherry's
votes indicate 24 correct and
2 wrong votes.
Howard Cherry took an
active part in passing the
anti pornography bill in the
legislature.
It was passed
by a substantial majority of
both parties in both houses
of the Legislature.
First American Bible Not
For "Americans"
A great deal has been
written about the early days
in America - the hardships,
the Indians, the early set
tlers and their religious life.
But one little known fact is
that the first Bibles printed
in America were in one of
the languages o f her native
people, the Indians.
In the year 1663, the
pastor o f the church in Rox
bury, Mass., John Eliot,
paid to have 1,500 Bibles
published in the language of
the Algonquin tribe who
lived in that area.

John Eliot his language and
customs.
In 1646, at the age of 42,
John Eliot set out with In
dian Job as his guide, to
visit Indian settlements and
villages with the hope of
introducing his God to the
native Americans.
Not far from Roxbury,
as the curious Indians gath
ered to see what he was
going to do, they were
greatly surprised when Eliot
spoke to them in their own
la n g u a g e .
They
w ere
pleased, too, when he talked
with understanding and re
spect of their customs and
traditions.
This was the beginning of
a regular ministry per
formed by Eliot when he
was not busy or needed at
his own church. I k was
loved and revered by the
In d ia n s

he
preachud and ministered for
the years that followed. As
a result o f his personal in
terest and missionary act /-
ity, untold numbers of In
dians became Christians.
It was in 165*4 that Eliot
and Job Neustan began a
project which was to take
them four years to com

Bible into the Indian lan
guage. The wonder o f Eli
ot’s varied efforts on behall
of the Indians is that he did
it all on his own time and
with his own money. He
even paid for having the
Bibles printed when the task
was finished.

faculty and staff through the

and other University activi

PSU employee Steve Ful
mer commented on the new
policy by stating that "it's a
really good feeling to be
recognized as a viable person.
I've never had any problem
with discrimination at the
Computer Center.
People
here have gotten to know me
as a person.
My sexual
orientation has been a source
of considerable interest. In
fact, people are naturally
curious once they
stop
feeling threatened. But not
everyone, especially faculty,
could afford to be as oj>en as
I've been.
Gay rights groups in Ore
gon hope that the PSU
action will begin a health
precedent which will soon be
followed by other employers
both private and public.
The current status of gay
people in American society is
finally being recognized by
the psychiatric, judicial, legal
and educational systems.
Most recently, the American
Psychiatric Association re
moved homosexuality from
its nomenclature of mental
disorders and called for legal
reforms in the areas of
employment and sex laws.
