Discussion set for
hunting weapons laws
The Fish and Wildlife Com
mission has scheduled a
public workshop to discuss the
various weapons used for
hunting and regulations con
cerning their use. The meeting
will begin at 7:30 p.m. on
Thursday, Jan. 18, in the
conference room at Fish and
Wildlife Department head
quarters, 506 SW Mill Street in
Portland.
Representatives from
groups concerned with bow
hunting, muzzle loader, hand
gun, and rifle hunting, and
other special interest groups
including falconers, hounds
men and trappers have been
asked to attend. The Commis
sion is also anxious to hear

As one scans the rolls being :
called in each chamber during
the biennial session, he may
not be particularly perturbed
by the fact there are 18
newcomers in the House and
six familiar faces missing
among Senators who served in
1977.
But you only have to go back
as far as the 1975 session to
discover more than half the
House is occupied by fresh
men or sophomores and 1973
to apply the same yardstick to
the Senate.
And if you're willing to trace
the attrition over the past
decade, you discover only 20
per cent of today's 90 law
makers were serving in 1969.
This statistic becomes even
more meaningful when you
consider only three current
House members were serving
as Representatives in 1969 and
two of them have been out of
office during one biennium in
the meantime.
Senatorial longevity is
somewhat better. Five 1979
Senators have been serving in
their current capacity with
unbroken tenure for the last 10
years. And 10 more of this
year's members of the Upper
Chamber were serving as
members of the House in 1969.
But if you go back 20 years,
you find only Gresham Demo
crat Vern Cook with service
that earns him the unofficial
title as Dean of the Senate.
That distinction belongs to
Cloverdale Republican Paul
Hanneman on the House side,
who has been serving since
1965.
And what about legislative
service leading to higher
office or other perhaps lucra
tive or soul-satisfying related
occupations?
Among Senators serving in
1969, one has become Gover
nor. Two are judges. Two
more are bureaucrats. And
three are professional lobby
ists. Four have found jobs in
the bureaucracy Two are
judges. One is Mulnomah

from members of the general
public who may not be

association.
No specific proposals for
changes in regulations are
before the Commission at this
time but the Commission is
interested in exploring the
"single weapons" concept as a
means of spreading hunting
pressure out and reducing
overcrowding on opening
weekends of popular seasons.
Under a single weapons rule a
hunter would be restricted to
the use of only one weapon for
hunting one or more big game
species. Handgun hunting is
also scheduled for discussion.
In addition, the Commission
another a member of the
Portland City Council and a
third beginning his first term
as Mayor of Redmond.
It's true this casual survey
does not include an appraisal
of legislative dropouts during
the remaining sessions of the
decade in question and that
several more have become
judges, elected city officials,
bureaucrats and lobbyists in
the meantime.
But, generally speaking, the
vast majority leave office and
seldom rise again to political
prominence outside their
original constituency.
And if you really want to
plug job security into the
process of choosing a career in
politics, consider what hap

ities for special seasons for
various interest groups, look
ing at crippling loss as related
to various weapons, safety,
law enforcement problems
associated with special sea
sons, and other aspects.
The Commission has dis
cussed various weapons rules
in meetings and has received
many comments from groups
and individuals at public
hearings in the past. The
workshop is designed as an
opportunity to get representa
tives of various interests
together with Commission and
Wildlife Division staff for an
informal discussion of these
and other hunting weapons
issues.
politics
pened to the Oregon House of
Representatives in 1935 and
1939. That 60-member body
contained 45 new members
following a Democratic Party
takeover during elections in
1934. And four years later, a
Republican resurgence led to
election of 42 members who
hadn't served in the previous
biennium.
Making laws in Oregon has
become a bigger, more
demanding and perhaps more
gratifying job for those who
have chosen that course in
recent years.
But on the record, it's
obvious the best way to
approach the task is as
something that likely will
prove less than permanent.

April 3 is the date for the
1979-80 Blue Mountain Com
munity College budget elec
tion as set by the college's
budget committee at its pre
liminary meeting on Dec. 20.
Bob Slangier, Pendleton,
was elected chairman of the
budget committee. Harmon
Springer, Hermiston, was
named secretary of the group.
Without a tax base, the
college must go to the voters
each year for its entire
budget. President Ron Daniels
reviewed the election options
available for committee con
sideration. He pointed out that
a tax base election must be
conducted in conjunction with
a statewide primary or gen
eral election, and that the only
options for this year were to
conduct a regular election on
the full amount of the levy as
has been done in the past or to

conduct a three-year fixed
rate serial levy which would
cover the period from 1979
1981. Since Governor Atiyeh's
plans for property tax relief
and funding are unknown, the
group concluded that it would
be premature to develop serial
levy plans.
Budget committee mem
bers agreed with the president
that a citizen's committee
should be organized to review
the funding options available
to the college and to make a
recommendation on the type
of funding the college should
seek from the public. The
budget committee decided
that a committee of this type
should be formed after it is
known what tax limitations
might be imposed by the 1979
legislature.

sources for the 1979-80 year,

Daniels guessed that Gover
nor Atiyeh's proposal for
college funding would not
exceed an 8 per cent increase
of $80,000 to $90,000 more.
This, plus tuition increases
and interest from money on
hand, could give the college a
$110,000 increase from sources
other than property taxes.
The budget committee
asked the president to build as
conservative a budget as
possible, but no maximum
budget limit was set.
President Daniels reported
that the three-year faculty
contract provides for a maxi
mum 9 per cent increase in
base salaries based on the
consumer price index. He
pointed out that the Presi
dent's Wage-Price Guidelines
allow for the fulfillment of
contracts that were negotiated
before the guidelines were set.
