paign begins with the February New Hampshire
pnmary, but 1t seems that m the past few elections the
campaign has started when the last presldenttal elec­
tiOn ends

It seems the Republicans have come to the startling

Kennedy Is an enigma In American politics He

Meanwhile , he persists In undermining the Image and
effectiveness of the administration with his constant
challenges to administration programs and his
repeated efforts to pass his health care package over
administration objections
Kennedy, the long-time senator from the Peoples·
Republic of Massachusetts . might have trouble with his
liberal stands on the Issues during a period when the
country Is undergoing a serious flirtation with conser·

The Democratic candidate who is trying to tap Into
the conservative mood of the country Is California 's
governor Jerry Brown. Brown Is, In a word, a populist
After vigorously opposing Proposition 13, he embraced
the "tax revolt" to his heart after the overwhelmingly
affirmative California vote. Brown Is almost certain to
challenge Carter. but polls show him trailing both
Carter and Kennedy by substantial margins

poorly In polls In many of the states In which he showed
strength In 1978
The Issue next year Is likely to be gas lines and
inflation. If Carter does not have a handle on these
problems , he will have a hard fight with re-election .

M ARY WENDY ROBERTS , Oregon
labor commissioner says she
ravors increased employment oppor­
tunities for minors but does see some
problems w1th this administrative ruling
"The summertime period may not be
reflective of the year~round employment
picture,'' she was quoted as saying
recently 'There may not be adequate
time to notify employers . and the
methods by which shifts In employment
can be measured are limited at best ·
Roberts stated at a recent Wage and
Hour Commission that the main ques­
tion pertaining to the sub-minimum
wage Issue Is whether a lower minimum
wage will really Increase teenage
employment "Much of this unemploy­
ment Is due to a lack or expenence and
skill," she has said "Would this tower
wage Induce employers to hire first-time
jt'b seekers? '' She remains skeptical
But Roberts Is not nearly as skep­
tical of the new program as are high
school students and job counselors
worklnq with other boys and girls Edith Klein, a 15-year-old freshman
at Dav1d Douglas High School on
Portland 's east side, has been the
orgamzer agamst the proposal at her
school. She has passed around pet•t•ons
stating that those who s•gn are
"displeased " with the cut tn wages She
says that by the ume she had to submll

Commission, the pages were filled with

Katharine Lawrence. a jun1or at
Wilson High School. says sno handed
her petitions '" with the names of over
500 ''displeased " young wage earners.
Lawrence has been active tn
protesting the ruling since Its Inception .
On May 14 she and other students
travelled to Salem to testify at a House
Labor Commission hearing agamst the
proposal Lawrence explains that the
testimony was well received and helped
stir support for an alternative proposal .
The proposal that state legislatures
came up w1th at the meetmg was House
Bill 3097 If passed, this bill would
remove the power of the Wage and Hour
Commission to lnsututes a sub­
mtnlmum wage tor persons under 18
years of age It would also be a com­
promise between wage earners and
employers · by allowmg for a 120-day
training period dunng which employers
could pay the state mlntmum wage.
Lawrence says the House Labor
Commission was receptive to the com~
promise solution "Rep !Jim) Crest.
against it (a su~mlnlmum wage), she
explains "The proposal has to go
through the House an (I the Senate and It IG going to take some time In getting
through It should be about July 1."
But In the meantime , many voices
have been raised In desperation over,
and defiance of. the su~mlnlmum wage
In a recent article In The Oregonian ,
17-yoar-old high school senior Patty
Hudlow wrote. "I'm gomg to have a hard
enough time getting a JOb anyway
because I'm only gotng to be working for
three months Now I may have to take a

enough money to pay for college.
Lawrence says that ''high school
kids are not the only ones that are going
to be hurt." Those over 18 are going to
feel tho pinch, too. she argues If an
employer has the choice between hlrtng
someone to whom hemuS1 pay $2 30and

says the employer wtll choose the per­

Hypocratlcally on my now full stomach, I

To gain some grasp on the •dea of
what 460 million people really Is, It has
been estimated that If you or I. after we
sat down to dinner. were to answer the
doorbell and lind ourselves staring In the
face e slngl~flle line of hungry broken,
ragged people. that line would be back­
ed up clear around the world. Not Just
circling the planet once, or even five
times, but 25 times Twenty ~flve times
The reason I address the problem of
world hunger •s because It Is the most
graphic and Immedia te tragedy of
mankind . But any human suffering will
do for the presont discusSion . I will
return to the hunger discussion In a
minute
I have for a long time been hit w1th
the realization that much of society
views Chrtstlans as more concerned with
the "next life, with our own happiness
and spiritual comfort, than wtth the
welfare and needs of others. Now, I will
be the first to say that In no way should
the Church of Jesus be controlled by
what society says It we follow the
Gospel. there will be more times when
others do not understand us than there
will be times that they do But, non~
theless. that Image of an aloffness and
disregard for world problems Is very
powerful , and It has come from
somewhere .
1 may have an Idea where that Image
of Christians comes from Romans 12:2
says, "Be not conformed to this world,"
and 1 John 2 15-16 says, "Do not love
the world, or the thlnga of the world."
These, n seems to me. ere the two most I misused and abused passages m all of
Scripture . There has been a strong ten~
dancy to take those passages out of
context. and to miss their point, (which
as 1 understand It centers on the
transformed life of the Christian) and to
use them to rattonahze and justify an
attitude of total separation from the
world. While 1t Is quite true that the
Chnstlan IS often called to take a lonely
stance and that many times he must step
outside of the dictates of society, I am
convinced that the attitude of complete­
nomnvolvement In the problems of the
world IS totally contrary to the teachings
of the Lord Jesus.
He said, "Love vour neighbor a!;
yourself." and If we really think about
that. 1t begins to get a little uncomfort·
able. Then we leam from 1 John 3'18
"Love must not be a matter of words or
talk. but must be genuine and show Itself
In acuon:· The way for the followers of
Jesus. it seems to me, Is not to turn our
backs on the problems of the world,
welting In our own pnvate joy tor the nel{t
lite, (for one thtng that IS much too
comlorteble-the Gospel that I read
about requires me to die to myself. to
consider others as more Important than
myself-thas Gospel is often incredibly
uncomfortable) . The way for the
followers of Jesus Is to go rtght Into the
midst of the world problems , to feed
starving people. to heal broken bodies.
to bind up gaping wounds, to love empty
hearts. to touch dead souls with the
Gospel of Jesus-the whole Gospel.
which is concerned with the entire per­
son
THE UFE OF our Lord Is the
prime ekample. He spent huge
amounts of time and energy healing
• canng, feeding And he dtd th1s right In
the middle of the "loseB" of soc1ety. He
sent hts disciples into the world, not out
ot it He tells his disciples, ''Among you,
whoever wtshed to be great must be your
servant. and whoever wtshes to be first
must be the w1lhng slave of all," (Mark
10 44}
If we apply thts for example, to the
problem of world hunger ,It IS ea5y to see
that the Christian should be extremely
concerned II there were two people In
the world, one a starvmg, dytng, beaten
person, and the other a comtortable,
well-fed Christian, it Is natural to say that
the Christian should teed his hungry
brother. Why then. does that concept
suddenly change when the number of
hungry people reaches a half billion?
The reason that all changes then 1s
because u Is not so easy to feed that
starving brother when there are huge
economtc systems and governments In
the way. and when mfinlte comple.'ll.lttes,
frustrations and failures must be faces
By the time one wades through all of
that. he ts likely to be "Involved with the
world." That IS pretty scary sometimes
Besides, it soon becomes easter to just
somehow forget that the problem exists.
(How many of us have ever even seen a
starving human being? It Is easy to forget
what we have not seen.) I know, because
I forget all the time. I cl'loose to do so It Is
easter than being mvolved
My point goes past hunger, to any
human suffenng What I am desperately
trymg to say is that as long as there Is one
starving person In the world, as tong as
there 15 any war going on m the world, as
long as there Is oppression and lntustace
anywhere , any suffering anywhere. then
Chnstlans should be deeply concerned

/s pornography a communist
plot to ensure the internal
decay of the capitalist
system?
UT WHY pornography as a busi-
ness? The answer Is simple money.
About 10 percent of the pornographic
books are aimed at the male homo$exual
market. The rMt are for male heterosex­
uals There are virtually no publications
aimed specifically at women-though
there Is no reason in principle why many of
the works could not be enjoryed by
hetero-or homosexual females
Slmllarty . around 90 percent of
"adults-only " matertals In the United
States accounted for between 70 and 90
million dollars ln retail sales In 1969.
An example of a pornographic film
success story lies "behind the green
door." In 1967. Jim Mitchell, then a 24-
year-<>ld, amb1t1ous film-maker . started
try1ng his hand at black and white por·
nographic films. He used a borrowed 8-
mm camera and young men and women
who were willing to copulate on the screen
for a few dollars a day. His destiny was
w1th the big time as he and his younger
brother. Artie. made It big wtth Behmd the
Green Ooorwhlch grossed over $1 million
(and maybe that many people). They now
own 10 theatres In California and are
working on the most expensive por­
nographic film ever. the $500,000 dollar
Sodom and Gomorrah
So what's wrong with pomogrpahy?
Surveys of psychiatr ists, psychologists , sex educators , !loclal workers ,
counselors and stmllar professional
workers reveal that the large mafonty of
people in such group! believe sexual
mater~als do not have harmful effects on
etther adults or adolescents .
AMer two years of study and 10
volumes of research, the Commiss ion on
Obscen1ty and Pornography reported "no

posure to erotica causes crimes or bad
moral character .
However . the Woman's Mo'lement hu

It has become more critical of research
that says the effects of pornography era

therefore , unnecessary and undesirable .
But one common ObJection to studies
of pornography Is that they do not con­
sider the sado-masochistic pornography
that presents violence as essential to
sexual arousal and satisfaction .
"The major harm that pomo does,"
says Ernest van den Haag. who has wrttten

It has also been asserted, mostly by
right-weng Amencan Senators , that por­
nography IS a communast plot, devised as
a means of ensunng the Internal d8C4y of
the capitalist system.
At this potnt, there seems no answer
to the problem of pornogrpahy . Por­

Many younger Americans do not
know much about the hardships of
Japanese-Americans durtng World
War II unless thetr parents have told
them something about that period Even
some older Americans who lived
through the war are Ignorant or misin­

Amertcans of Japanese ancestry Very
lew history books mention It, and It Is not
studied in the classroom .
But the Japanese-Americans'
hardships durtng World War II should be
depleted in American history books so
that ktnd of tnjusttce will never occur to
anyone agam
I became aware ol people's Ig­
norance while reading tho March 6, 1979,
1ssue of The Otegonlan . I came across
letters to the editor regarding the
Japanese- Americans' request for
reparations Readers were responding to
the quest1on of whether Japanese­

$25.000 each 1n reparation I found some
people to be Ignorant of the facts If the
internment could have been examined In
history books .. there would have been
fewer Ignorant or misinformed people
Responalbtllty for the Incarceration
of Amencan& of Japanese ancestry Is
ridiculously placed on another govern­
ment. Two letter writers felt the
Japansse government waa responsib le

determination not to succumb to Catholic

In the 1700s the Catholics wore
restricted by the enactmen t of the Penal
Laws. These laws were made to prevent
Catholtcs from obtaining property

words, Catholic~ were to remain at a

where they found wretched conditions
It was at this time that Protestant
churches spoke out agatnst Catholics and
denounced their church (I e scarlet
women of Rome, the anti-Christ pope,
etc ) and rallied with Orange societies or
lodges which were pro-Protestant and
pro-Union . Protestants heeded their
church and joined Orange societies, not
only on religious grounds but perhaps
also In hopes of economic protection from
the sectarian employment practices of a
very Intact Protestant hierarchy In Belfast.
This resulted In heavy sectarian rioting
and the deaths ol many on both sides.

Wyers says there have been too
many efforts to convince poopJo that

thought given to possltlle dangers of the

If there were an accident rn Oregon,
he contends, people would die because
they were not ready for it. He says that by

Republican Gov. Vic Atiyeh Is one of
the foremost stumbling blocks to es­
