Asst. Correspondent
Special Assistant to the Governor,
Shirley Woodrow, met recently with
members of the Class of Legal
Processes at OSP. The Class of Legal
Processes is made up of 30 inmate
students who meet every Wednesday
night to discuss and study state,
federal and civil procedures of the
laws and courts.
Mrs. Woodrow presented an
outline and explained the process of
1 xecutive Appointment, then stayed
to answer questions of prisoners.
The information Mrs. Woodrow
shared sparked a great deal of in­
terest in the selection process and
shed much needed light on a subject
few people understand.
There are more than 1,000
political appointments made by the
Governor of Oregon. The Governor
may select anyone he chooses and the
criteria considered important for his
selections are his own. Our present
Governor, Victor G. Atiyeh, believes
firmly in selecting appointees from
the ranks of “ average citizens” , ac­
cording to Mrs. Woodrow. Gover­
nor Atiyeh emphasizes the import­
ance of experience and ability in his
choices, feeling volunteers do at least
as good a job as full time appointees
w hile costing the taxpayer less.
Gathering, filing, screening and
presenting names that fit the Gover­
nor’s criteria make up the major
duties of the Special Assistant for
Executive Appointm ents, and
Shirley Woodrow is certainly on top
of her job. Her constant search for
talented people in the state
population has produced what she
terms a “ talent bank" containing
names and corresponding data of
outstanding people. The “ bank"
makes up the reserve from which are
chosen appointees for judicial ap­
pointments, the Human Resources
Board, the I nergy Board, and the
Governor’s personal staff, to name a
tew This same pool of potential ap­
pointees provides names for appoint­
ment to the Oregon State Board ol
Parole.
Most appointments are well made
and the appointees serve in the public
interest. Few people, however have
escaped the frustration and im­
patient anger of watching an ap-
parcntly unqualified person make an
nnquestionalbe mess of their job.
fewer people still havent’t thought
or said, “ Why, even I could have
done a better job than that!” when
an appointed official abuses or
neglects his duties.
To be considered for the hundreds
of positions available at different
times, you need only provide the
Governor with your name, address,
relevant data concerning the
position you wish to apply for in a

resume, and the reason you wish to
serve.
Another way Mrs. Woodrow
stocks the "talent bank” is through
personal referrals from friends or
acquaintances. Both sources of
names mix together in the "talent
bank.” when a position for appoint­
ment is open, names are drawn on
the basis of interest, qualification
and motivation. Mrs. Woodrow ex­
pressed the characteristics she looks
for as: “ Good credentials, commit­
ment, strength and especially balance
in a potential appointee. Strong
characteristics of leadership, a flair
for communication, the ability to
make difficult decisions, and the
ability to translate decisions to action
are important criteria for selection.
Basically, we are looking for a star,
stated Mrs. Woodrow.
Once a group of names is sleeted
and reduced to a managable number,
Mrs. Woodrow presents the names
to Governor Atiyeh. He sifts the
remaining names until one emerges
more qualified or at least more
favored. If that person is available
and willing to accept the appoint­
ment, he or she is contacted and
presented to the Oregon Senate for
approval. Upon approval the ap­
pointm ent is official and a new
“ star” is launced into office.
Several questions were raised con­
cerning criteria for appointment of
members to the Oregon State Board
of Parole. Mrs. Woodrow explained
that members are sought who are
comfortable with and able to manage
difficult information. “ Emphasis is
placed on humanitarian issues rather
than on professional qualifications
for selection,” she stated.
Mrs. Woodrow continued by
saying, "O ur understanding of the
'matrix system’ and of Parole Board
function has indicated no need for
torneys or other professional people
on the Board membership. However,
in light of what I have heard tonight,
perhaps we should have come here
and learned more about the ap­
plication of the ‘matrix’ guideline
and the function of the Parole Baord
in their application. The job of the
Parole Board is much more com­
plicated than 1 realized.”
There are more than 12 volunteer
committees and boards under the
executive appointment dealing with
justice and law enforcement. Within
the prison there are a number of in­
terested, qualified and dedicated in­
mates wishing to help in the fight for
a more responsive, equitable justice
system. Their knowledge and ex­
periences are an untapped resource
of great potential benefit to any or
all of these groups. Members of the
class asked about requirements for
acceptance of an appointee. Mrs.
Woodrow answered, “ Well, there
are conflict of interest and financial

TESTIM O NIALS
M iss Joyce J W . Portland, OR., was in a fix where she could not
find or keep a good man. I, Rev. Hoskins, removed the fix and the jinx from
her NOW she can draw the man of her desire to her like a magnet.
2) M r. Ft Mrs. C.P of C om pton, CA., could not win the BIG one. They
called Rev Hoskins and Rev. sent them a for-sure win blessing money hand.
They went to Las Vegas and their luck kept on coming, winning more than
$16,000
3) Ms Barbara T , In gle w o od , CA , had a man who left home for
another woman She called Rev Hoskins with tears in her voice. She w ant­
ed him back!! Now he is back and eating out of her hand.
4) M r Paul Los Angeles. C A., was in a fix and rooted by this woman.
As a result he lost his nature for other women, but through Rev. Hoskins’
work Paul regained his nature and became luckier than ever with women,
money and his business
5) M rs. O.I., Long Beach. CA., had demons in her body, and in her
home, causing all kinds of bad luck, and unnatural sickness. She called Rev,
Hoskins and in 72 hours her home and body were free of unclean spirits.

statement forms to fill out, a few
questions to answer in writing, and
final confirmation by the Senate.
When I took office the Governor in­
structed me to remove any questions
not dealing with whether or not a
person can do the job. We feel the
job is the important part and try to
ignore other issues. Oregon is an
equal opportunity em ployer, so
many questions no longer require an
answer. Generally, that’s about it.”
The evening ended with the an­
swers to a carefully phrased question
from an inmate concerning the
eligibility of ex-felons for executive
appointment.
“ No” , stated Mrs. Woodrow.
“ An ex-felon would definately be
rejected. That is our policy.” She
continued, "There is, however, one
committee on which it is required by
statute that two members be under
26 years of age and be in the system.
The Juvenile Justice Advisary Com­
mittee presently has one man and
one woman ex-offender in its mem­
bership, benefitting from the ex­
perience and perspective gained
while in the system. It’s sad that so
many other groups aren’t allowed to
use this resource. In purpose, if not
in practice, Oregon is still an ‘equal
opportunity employer’.”
The inmates appreciated Mrs.
Woodrow’s honesty an straight an­
swers. It was not the normal type of
audience one would find a member
of the Governor’s staff speaking to,
but the most important point proven
by Mrs. Woodrow was that she and
50 state prisoners were able to com­
municate without any misunderstan­
ding. And the inmates appreciated
every moment of it.
Neighborhood
clean-up
scheduled
“ Turning Trash Into Cash” is the
theme to be tested during the up­
coming clean-up and recycling day
planned for the King-Humboldt area
of Northeast Portland on Saturday,
October 6. Six one-day drop centers
will be accepting all yard debris,
glass, and tires from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
with staffing provided by neigh­
borhood volunteers and Boy Scout
Troup 71.
Besides offering residents free
dumping in order to remove code
violations and eyesores, this project
will attempt to recycle almost all the
yard brush, tires, scrap metal, paper
and glass that will be coming out of
the two neighborhoods, according to
Bruce Etlinger, coordinator of the
Neighborhood Environm ent. The
proceeds from recycling of these
materials are to be divided between
the two neighborhood associations in
order to defray costs of future clean­
ups.
Two major drop centers will be at
the King School parking lot at 4906
N.E. 6th and Farm er Jo h n ’s
Restaurant at 230 N. Killingsworth,
where volunteers will meet for a
kick-off breakfast at 7:30 a.m. Four
satellite drop sites will be at Fred
Meyer parking lot on 6th and Emer­
son, Humboldt School Playground,
a vacant lot on Union and Mason,
and A lbertsons at 909 N.
Killingsworth.
Seniors and handicapped persons
unable to haul their discards can
arrange for a free curbside pick-up
by contgacting the Northeast Neigh­
borhood Office.
Surveys conducted jointly by City
inspectors and neighborhood
associations have identified code
violations and then rated the im­
provements during follow-up surveys
after clean-ups were over. To date
over half the code violations have
been volutarily corrected through the
use of publicity urging use of drop
centers with collection and disposal
services often donated.
Over 200 code violations were
found in King-Humboldt during the
pre-clean-up survey on September 8.
The entire City Coluncil has been
invited to participate in the clean-up
and share refreshments with volun­
teers at 3 p m. at Farmer John's.
Neighborhood associations, civic
and youth groups interested in spon­
soring clean-up and recycling projec­
ts should contact Sterling Bennett at
248-4106.
