PCC class explores W a te rg a te
Recent events in American
government have created
doubt and confusion in Ameri
can minds, and only a deeper
understanding of the func
tioninft of governmental in­
stitutions ran restore faith
and provide the wisdom for
future derisions.
Portland
Community College offers a
course this fall, “American
Institutions in Perspective:
Watergate" (PS 1.600) taught
by Mike Kopetski, that
promises to provide that kind
of understanding.
Kopetski, now a Lake
Oswego resident, comes to
PCC fresh from a year of
experience in various rapa
cities on the Senate Water
gate Committee, where he
aided in the investigation of
such controversial details as
the milk fund, corporate con
tributions. and laundered
money from Mexico. Before
that he spent three years in
Senate patronage, working
his way through American
University in Washington.
D.C., where he majored in
history and education.
Having gained tremendous
insight into governmental
workings and the roles played
by various governmental in­
stitutions. Kopetski now plan;
to share what he has learned
using Watergate as a test
case.
He will clarify the
events of Watergate and show
how such institutions as the
judicial system. Congress, and
the Senate Committee have
acted in regard to it. He
believes that in gaining a
more realistic understanding
of governmental functioning,
students can better evaluate
the performances of public
officials and make wiser
choices.
“Through my experience in
Washington I have met a
great many people, seen the
government in action, and
come in closer contact with
the issues than I ever could
have done otherwise.
The
most important result is that I
have gained greater faith in
the system than ever before.
We have had Watergate and
we still have an organized
government. We still have
order, and abuses are being
corrected. I hope 1 can give
my students a view of govern
ment institutions that will
inspire the same faith in
them."

Questions about a com­
mitment to planning foi
peace conversion were raised
at the Annual Meeting of
Tektronix, Oregon's largest
military contractor.
The
Tektronix meeting was held
at 9:00 a.m. Saturday. Sep
tember 21st.
Jack Kirkwood raised the
questions on behalf of local
representatives of the "Stop
the B-l:
National Peace
Conversion Campaign". The
Campaign is a national effort
to involve groups in planning
for peace conversion at the
same time that Congress is
urged to rut bark on military
production, particularly the
development of the B-l
Bomber.
“The ability of any major
American corporation to
adapt itself to future condi
tions is the measure of its
chances for survival in a
rapidly changing world."
Kirkwood said. "While we
all hope for peace, there is
artually little planning for
peace conditions at the cor
porate level.
And this
absence of planning will ex
pose a large segment of the
U.S. economy to severe dis­
location as America’s need to
resort to war diminishes
through diplomacy, applica
tion of international law. and
public opposition to U.S.
military intervention in the
affairs of foreign countries.
“Today we would like to
offer our concern over the
absence of planning for con
version to peace in the fields
of production and research.
The United States is under
going a time of self doubt, a
questioning of national priori
ties.
Americans are re­
defining the concept of
national security.
It has
become clear to a majority of
Americans that massive in­
creases in military power
may actually mean a de
crease in genuine security.
Real security, for most
Americans, lies in a stable
economy that functions in
order to meet human needs.

current utilization of geo­
thermal energy in Russia.
The three day conference
will examine the uses of
geothermal energy in agri­
culture and food processing,
forest products, and for com­
mercial residential sp a ce
heating.
The program includes

cern with you because Tek
tronix is the largest military
contractor in the state of
Oregon and because Tek
tronix has already been in
volved in the production of
equipment for the prototype
B-l Bomber, the forerunner
of a proposed new, expen­
sive, and unnecessary wea
pon system, which we do not
feel the United States should
decide to build.
Our re­
search indicates that Tek
tronix has produced, under
subcontract to Boeing and
Rockwell International, in­
struments for the testing of
the B-l Bomber prototype.
“There are at least 11 sub­
contractors for the B-l
Bomber in Oregon. We are
anxious to involve Tek
tronix, along with others, in
shaping plans for peace con
version, so that the impact of
reduced military business
will not adversely affect the
families dependent on Tek
tronix employment for their
livelihood.

Jefferson High School is
moving in many directions.
However, the basic reason
for its existence has not been
forgotten.
With the introduction of
the new state graduation
requirements, and results of
the Jefferson Study ll’PS
Jim Weed 1973 74). it is
obvious that a need exists
for public schools to provide
opportunities for their stu
dents to obtain a basic
«-duration which will «-quip
them with skills necessary
for survival in today's so­
ciety.
With this in mind, under a
Title III Project, a need was
realized and is now in the
planning stages. With the
aid of a Unit Leader, De
partment Chairperson, and
involved staff, a curriculum
is being developed, geared

around basic competencies of

of concern are language
Arts I Reading and English)
and Math.
We are d e­
veloping a screening device,
composed of testing, and in
tensive counseling, which all
fr«*shmen and new students
will utilize to determine the
skills they already have.
Each department in the
school is developing mini
mum entry requirements for
each class in their area. If a
student does not have the
skills necessary for entry
into any class, he will be
given the opportunity to ac­
quire these skills at his own
rate. At the point when the
student has acquired the
skill, he will be allowt*d to
enter the class and proceed
with the academic subjects.
It is not our intention to
make Jefferson a remedial
school, but one where upon
graduation, a student ran
feel he has not wasted four
years, but has obtained
knowledge and skills that he
ran artually use.

In due course, he filed a lawsuit
against the trucking firm.
"Their driver gave me a 'bum
steer' when he waved me on,"
Walters charged in a court hear­
ing.
"But it was an indocent mis­
take." countered the company
“ He was just trying to be helpful
Besides, Walters still had the
final responsibility for his own
driving.”
However, the court granted
Walters' claim The court said
that the truck driver, having once
undertaken to give directions, had
to do so with caution.
Courts generally agree. It is
worth noting, however, that W al­
ters had no real chance to see the
danger ahead. I f he had and took
a chance anyhow, he might well
have been found negligent himself,
regardless of the misleading sig­
nal from the truck driver.
In fact, a motorist continues to
bear some degree of responsibility
even when he is obeying the signal
of a traffic officer.
In another case a motorist, w ait­
ing at a busy intersection was
waved ahead by a policeman who
was there directing traffic. He
started fo rw a rd im m ediately,
knocking down a pedestrian who
was still in the crosswalk.
Could the motorist escape legal
liability by blaming everything on
the policeman?
The court said no.
“The driver had a right to rely
to some extent on the (police­
m an)," said the court, “but he had
no right to abandon all care."

But as Walters swung out to
pass, a car loomed up from the
opposite direction. A collision
followed, and Walters landed in
the hospital with assorted in­
juries.
