I uae (hone word* without

A monster? A

I'm your monater.
You
have been told by educator*

me express myself freely. If
I throw all the *and out of
the nuraery school sandbox,
I'm releasing hidden ten

have the sandbox."
You deprived me of the
security of knowing right
and wrong, you debauched
me with half chewed mor
ael* of Freud, in whose
teaching* there is no right
and wrong, only errors and
understa n d in g , you let
sleek men in high places go
unpunished for a moral
behavior, and I hear you
snicker.
You label the pursuit of
pleasure a valid goal, and
insisted that my teachers
turn schooling into fun and
games. You preach group
adjustment and security
ra th e r than challenge;
protection, rather than ef
fori You discard the social
and sexual taboos of cen

result freedom rather than
license.
Finally, you poi
soiled my bone marrow
with strontium 90. told me
to live it up while I hail the

TO TH E PEOPLE
by W illie Stewaut
We
the
Black
here at the Oregon State
Penitentiary appeal to you,
the people of the State of
Oregon, to hear our gre
viences of the inhuman
conditions that come under
the false banner of rehabili
tation.
We the Black populace
are being systematically
discrimated against at this
"racist” institution.
The
distribution of jobs are
racially selected for the
Black Inmate.
He isn't
given the options, as are
the white inmates.
He is
sent to the laundry, furni
lure factory, or the kitrh<-n
when he enters the institu
tion.
Inmates are subjected to
rarism when it comes to
work release, school re
lease, passes and distribu
tion of minimum custody to
participate in outside pro
grams.
Inmates from out of state
are being d is c rim in a te d
against when they are told
that because they are from
out of state, they are not
entitled to the same bene
fits as the inmates from
Oregon that have a family
here or happen to be
married. Inmates are being
indirectly forced to ge'
married while they are here
to get a pass or custody. If
an inmate refuses to work
because
the
program s
initiated by the legislature
don't apply to him since he
is from out of state and has
no relatives in this state or
is not married, he is put in
isolation until he derides to
work.
That is cruel and
unusual punishment and has
nothing to do with rehabili
tation.
We feel that you the
people should investigate
these matters. For instance
when an inmate is on parole
and does something drastic,
it is taken out on the whole
inm ate population, but
mores«» on the Black, ( hi
cano and Indians.
We the Black Inmates of
Oregon State Penitentiary
ap|»eal to you the people in
our quest for liberty and
Justice for ALL.
“ Some 8,000 Oregon
youngsters runaway from
home each year," W illner
said. "Some of these kids
travel by bus or seek
shelter in bus terminals
which tend to remain open
long hours."

If it's really true, as his
current Arista Records sin
gle testifies, that there am t
no such thing as "Super
man." then (ill Scott Heron
may just be the next such
thing.
Certainly the twenty six
year old |>oct comjioacr |x*r
former shares Superman's
steely stamina, both in his
tenacity towards his career
and his grueling concert
itinerary.
Scott Heron's
current tour has taken hint
throughout
the
country,
from Carnegie Hall in New
York to the Roxy in Ia»s
Angeles, plus countless
clubs, auditoriums, and col
lege campuses in between.
Infusing his audiences with
"new music, new vibra
tio n s ," the m ix tu re of
highly rhythmic music, so
daily aware poetry, and
( iil’s sardonic sense of
humor led the Washington
Star News to term the
blend of "Black music of the
future."
And. after deva
slating the denizens of Los
Angeles, that city's Herald
Examiner declared. I t ’s an
angry sound and a celebra
tory sound, tinged with
la t liii street rhythm and
pulsing with the urgent
Credit Union elects
Bravery or For Service
awarded by the President.
Candidates must be less
than nineteen years old.
according to W illner, and
citizens of the U nited
States. The act of bravery
ot of service must have
occurred during 1975 and
must be of an outstanding
and extraordinary nature.
Names of candidates may
be mailed to the Governor's
Commission on Youth. 775
Court Street N.E., Salem,
Oregon 97310. Nominations
may
be made anytime
during 1975.
