I f we were to go into a white area and commit crime we would get killed. There needs to be more facilities for both young and old I feel the same way I do about other crimes on other races. W'e are all human beings. W e need better p ro tectio n and tigh ter control on the police. It's a bad im pression on our kid s. O ur ch ild re n do not need to learn those skills.

PSU considers ROTC program The Faculty Senate o f P o rtlan d University this M onday postponed until December 13th its decision on whether to recom m end establish­ ment o f an A rm y Reserve O fficers Training Corps at Portland Slate. The p ro gram w ou ld in v o lve 18 full and part-time students, some of whom would receive arm y scholar­ ships to attend school. A fte r com ­ pleting the first year, which would involve tak in g one m ilita ry class each term, the student would sign a six-year en listm ent c o m m itm e n t. Following completion o f the college degree (including 27 hours in " m ili­ ta ry s c ien ce") the student w ould serve either four years o f active or six o f reserve d u ty or a c o m b in a ­ tion. I f fo r any reason, the student dropped out or failed to complete his college degree, he could pay back (he scholarship and b en efit money or be inducted into the army. The program would be an exten­ sion o f the Oregon State Program . C u rren tly PSU students who want to take R O T C can attend the army p ro gram at O U or the A ir Force program at the University o f P o rt­ land. Both at the Faculty Senate meet­ ing and in a Legislative hearing the preceded it, there was much confu­ sion about where the idea fo r the program originated. Forbes W illiams, Dean o f Under­ graduate Studies, im plied that the idea came from a number o f sources including students but chairman o f the c u rric u lu m co m m itte e Nancy Tong fin a lly clarifed that issue by noting that repeated requests have come fro m the arm y and the p ro ­ posal was submitted by the army. W illiam s, who described his role as a coordinator to assist the cu rri­ cular committee, repeatedly rose to support the program which he be­ lieves will "h arm o n ize" the arm y’ s officer corp by providing education for future m ilitary officers in a lib ­ eral arts setting. An O SU professor disagreed, saying research done at the U n iversity o f O regon d em o n ­ strates that R O T C programs select students who are authoritarian, po­ litically conservative, and intensify these traits in the students. Proponents o f the program em ­ phasized that it would be little cost to the u n ive rs ity , w ou ld p ro vid e scholarships fo r a few students, would provide a m ilitary option for students who w ant it, and is a re­ sponse to priorities set by govern­ ment. Reasons fo r opp o sitio n varied . The program leaches obedience to a u th o rity and not in q u iry and jud g em ent so has no place at the univertisy; the university lost career programs in journalism and moving image as well us num erous course offerings so cannot justify starting a new program; the program is avail­ able at O SU and U o f O ; the p ro ­ gram places the student under the jurisdiction o f the m ilitary; the stu­ dent faces induction or persecution i f he does not co m p lete the p ro ­ g ram ; know n hom osexuals are barred fro m service; R O T C p ro ­ motes military rather than peaceful approaches and the ultimate goal o f training is to kill; the university has no control o f sta ff or curriculum ; moral and ethical opposition to m il­ itary training and military presence. There was suspicion that (he in ­ terest in R O T C is a method to get funds for the university— to accept a program that does not fit the role o f the university for " a handful of sil­ ver" and "A re you willing to put in all the work to start a new program for $1 5,00 07 "— " a blatant and op- portunistic attem p t. . to buy a piece o f our curriculum ." In the Legislative hearing— held by Representative W ally Priestley, Rick Bauman, Annette Farmer and Rep.-elect Ed L eek— the audience was o verw h e lm in g ly against the R O T C proposal. Students, comm u­ n ity m em bers and fa c u lty spoke against the proposal. The Faculty Senate m eeting, for the most part, heard only from fac­ ulty and opinion appeared to be more W ayna Ridley Food S ervice W o rk e r M ik a Jonas U n a m p lo y a d The way that Reagan has the unemployment rate up, people just d o n ’ t have jobs.

I f the proposal is adopted it will go to President Blumel, to the State C h a n c e llo r, and then to the State Board o f Higher Education. Il's crazy, stupid and ignor­ ant. We seem to get less time for black on black crime than black on w hite. W e need to talk and get together to e lim in a te this. Let's also think about where we came from.
