fion promotes
system
A recent poll showed that 86
per cent of the Oregonians
prefer an open primary to the
current system. The current
primary system limits demo
crats and republicans to
voting for candidates of their
own party only, and excludes
independent voters from vot
ing on partisan races.
Sponsors point out that the
open primary would not des
troy the tofarty system, as
some have suggested Wash
ington stale has a very
competitive two parly system
and an open primary system.
The highest vole getters
from each party would face off
against each other in 'the
general election Although it is
possible for two candidates of
the same party to draw the
first and second greatest
number of votes, only the
highest Vote gettef of that
parly would be the nominee.
This, too, sponsors stale,
would preserve the two party

fJumber of shoplifters
high among students
Forty per cent of some 2,500
Oregon seventh and eighth
graders readily admit shop
lifting. But actual frequency may
be substantially greater. The
same students claimed 80 per
cent of their friends had
shoplifted and half had been
caught or arrested.
Of the 40 per cent who
admitted shoplifting, only 15
per cent reported being cau
ght or arrested.
The students were surveyed
in 10 Oregon communities by
members of the Distributive
Education Pubs of America
(DECA)aspart of a statewide
competition for the high
school organizations. The
chapters were judged on
methods used in the survey
and analysis of survey results.
It was sponsored by Shop
lifter's Take Everybody's Mo
ney (STEM), a continuing
statewide antishoplifting
campaign launched by the
Oregon Retail Council, a
division of Associated Oregon
Industries.
An overwhelming number of
those surveyed, 93 per cent,
agreed with the statement
that shoplifting is stealing and
said that most of their, class
males hold the same view.
The students said that most
shoplifting they knew of was
done in a variety of stores and
that most items taken were
worth less than one dollar.
Surprisingly, less than half
those surveyed felt shoplifting
from a large store was more
acceptable than shoplifting
from a smaller store.
Students were also surveyed
on their altitudes toward
business, its place in society
and relations with customers.
Two-thirds of those survey
ed felt business was trying to
be a good citizen, reduce
unfair business practices and
provide equal employment
opportunities.
Businesses" efforts to pro
duce safe and high quality
products rated high marks
from Ihe students, but they
felt that companies were

becoming more impersonal in
dealing with their customers
and not as concerned about
total customer satisfaction.
The survey contained sev
eral questions regarding the
effectiveness of anti shoplift
ing campaigns such as STEM
. and 80 per cent of the students
felt such campaigns were
useful in deterring shoplifting.
Springfield High School won
first place in this year's
competition. Medford High
School was awarded second
place and South Albany, third.
The chapters received $300,
$200 and $100 in prize money ,
respectively.
Other DECA high school
chapters participating were
from Grants Pass, Lebanon,
Hood River Valley. Bend.
Forest Grove, Madison of
Portland and North Salem.
Chartered in Oregon in 1955,
DECA is a national studenl
vocation organization for
those studying careers in
marketing, merchandising
and management.
DECA has some 900 mem
bers in high schools, com
munity colleges and four-year
colleges in Oregon.

"The Kidney Association of
Oregon cannot redeem empty
cigarette packages. Please do
not save them for us."
This plea was issued by
George Wann. public relations
director of KAO. who said,
"Our office continues to be
deluged with telephone calls
from well-meaning people
who are either saving or want
to collect cigarette wrappers
to benefit the life-saving

program. We tell them, " he
declared, "That the cigarette
packages have no value as a
source of cash or trade-ins for
artificial kidney machines or
any other equipment."

without success."
Wann added, "The rumor
takes different forms. Either
it claims that empty cigarette
packs will give someone free
time on a kidney machine, or
il stales that a given number
of empty packs will purchase
a machine. None of il is true."
"We have spent years
investigating the rumor with
individuals, groups and ciga
rette companies and find there
is no basis whatever for any
statement," Wann explained.
