The Black Leadership Conference
organized a community campaign
structure for governor candidate
Neil Goldschmidt at its third general
meeting Saturday.
After discussing a report on acti
vities conducted on Goldschmidt's
behalf so far. about 25 community
residents gathered at Vancouver
Avenue Baptist Church organized
Nito three committees
The three committees are: pre
cinct organizing, scheduling and
planning, and communications
Those wishing to get involved can
contact Ron Herndon, co-chair of
the Conference
" I t ’s going to be so very impor
tant for us to get involved in the
Goldschmidt campaign and we ll
have to get a variety of organiza
tions involved at all levels,” Hern
don said
Goldschmidt was endorsed by the
Conference before the May primary
Herndon said that as the November
general election approaches. Con
ference committees will likely be
organizing community residents to
help w ith lawn signs, canvassing,
fundraising and community cam
paign meetings
“ We certainly have quite an op
portunity to be influential in this
campaign and we should take ad
vantage of it,” Herndon said.
Whether Goldschmidt or Paulus
wins, Herndon said, the Conference
will be watching the new governor
to make sure they hold to promises
made to the community during the
campaign
Before the May primary, the
Black Leadership Conference met
with each candidate and went over
a list of questions and issues deem
ed important to tho black commu
nity
The candidates' responses
formed the basis for the Conference
endorsement
Also at the Saturday meeting, the
Conference discussed whether to
endorse other candidates. Singled
out were the races between City
Commissioner Margaret Strachan
and Robert Koch for the City Coun
cil. between Gladys McCoy and
Glenn Otto for County Commis
sioner, and between Jim Hill and
I B Day for State Senator.

The organization could gam
added credibility if it did not appear
that we are turning our backs on
any other black candidate.” said
Lucious Hicks
My position, said State Repre
sentative Margaret Carter, "is that
if we re going to support anybody,
they are going to put forward the
interests of the black com m unity."
The issue was not resolved at
Saturday's meeting, so the Confer
ence steering committee will meet
separately and discuss whether to
make additional endorsements The
steering committee will then report
back at the next Black Leadership
Conference meeting, Herndon said

Almost 900 Oregon youths be
tween the ages of 13 and 17 were
dehied driving privileges during the
first six months of 1986, according
to the Motor Vehicles Divison. This
is a 41 percent increase over the 627
denials made between January and
June of 1985
Denials are based on court con
victions involving alcohol or drug
possession, use or abuse Courts
then order DMV to deny licenses or
permits
Most of the 884 denials during the
first six months of this year were for
alcohol offenses
Minors in pos
session of alcohol or drugs ac-
ounted for 847 of the total Nine
teen denials were for having an
open container or drinking alcohol
in a motor vehicle, and four were for
driving under the influence.
Fourteen denials were ordered for
miscellaneous alcohol and drug of
ferises, such as theft, delivery or
manufacturing of a controlled sub
stance.
Males accounted for 74 percent
of all denials.
Denials of driving privileges for
fust offenders is one year or until

pended for a year or until the person
becomes 18, whichever is longer

the offenses are not related to dri
ving a motor vehicle.
