Primary Election, May 23, 1972 5 n Measure No. 1 Eliminates Literacy Requirement; Lowers Voting Age 0 Proposed by the Fifty-sixth Legislative Assembly by Senate .Joint Resolution No. 7, filed in the office of the Secretary of State April14, 1971 and referred to the people as provided by Section 1, Article XVII of the Constitution of Oregon. Explanation By Committee Designated Pursuant to ORS 254.210 This measure proposes to amend a section of the Oregon Constitution which pertains to registration and voting. If passed, it wouLd do two things: (1) Remove from the constitution the requirement that every voter must be able (except for physical disability) to read and write the English language. (2) Lower the minimum voting age from 21 to 18 years of age for all elections in Oregon. These changes are proposed to bring Oregon's constitution into conformity with the federal constitution. The United States Supreme Court has declared literacy requirements unconstitutional, and the 26th amendment to the federal constitution supersedes Oregon's constitution in matters where the two conflict. Therefore, a vote of the people is necessary in order to bring into conformity Oregon's constitution. The outcome of the vote on this amendment is immaterial. If the measure is not approved by the voters, Oregon will still be required to comply with the federal constitution. WANDA MAYS, Portland WILLIAM .J. MOSHOFSKY, Portland MARY NEELY, Lake Oswego .. 6 Official Voters' Pamphlet Measure No. 1 Eliminates Literacy Requirement: Lowers Voting Age Argument In Favor By Legislative Committee Pursuant to ORS 255.421 (S) Ballot Measure Number 1 proposes amendments to section 2, Article II and section 6, Article VIII of the Oregon Constitution. Its effect would be to lower the voting age to 18 years of age and to delete the English literacy requirement for voting. Oregon ratified the new XXVI Amendment to the U. S. Constitution in June of 1971. That amendment provided for voting by persons 18 years of age and older. The proposed amendment to the Oregon Constitution is, thus, only a further affirmation of the right now granted by the U. S. Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1970 that the Federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended in 1970, could constitutionally prohibit English literacy tests as prerequisites to voting. That law is enforceable against the states. In or­ der to comply with the court mandate, the legislature has proposed the further amendments contained in Ballot Measure Number 1. Oregon has long been a leader among the states in extending the full rights of citizenship to all of its qualified residents. We should do no less now with the newly granted voting rights to young ~ople and to those minorities whose inability to meet an English reading requir'"ement might result in improper dis· enfranchisement. Vote "YES" on Ballot Measure Number 1 to show that Ore­ gonians truly believe and reaffirm in full measure those rights protected by the U.S. Constitution. SENATOR JASON BOE REPRESENTATIVE RICHARD EYMANN REPRESENTATIVE LEIGH JOHNSON ' Measure No. 1 Eliminates Literacy Requirement: Lowers Voting Age Argument In Opposition Submitted by The Women's Legislative Council LOOK CLOSELY AT THIS PACKAGED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT A United States Constitutional Amendment to lower the voting age to 18 years has been ratified, BUT nothing in that Amendment removes the re­ quirement that voters be able to read and write. BALLOT MEASURE 1 REMOVES THE REQUIREMENT THAT A VOTER BE LITERATE-THAT IS, ABLE TO READ THE BALLOT AND SIGN THE POLLBOOK. • The privilege of voting should,not be extended to those who have not bothered to learn to read and write their country's language. In order to become citizens, aU~ns are required to know English. Citi.­ zenship tests are given in English. • Millions of taxpayers dollars are spent on education. There is nu valid excuse for illiteracy in Oregon today. • It is not reasonable to permit those who can't read or write to vote.. Who will tell them how to vote ? DON'T BE MISLED The matter of lowering the voting age has been settled. THE ISSUE in Ballot Measure 1 is the MATTER OF LITERACY AS A VOTING QUALI­ FICATION. KEEP A LITERATE ELECTORATE VOTE ''NO" ON MEASURE 1 Women's Legislative Council, P.O. Box 19353, Portland, Oregon 972Hl • 8 Official Voters' Pamphlet Measure No. 1 Eliminates Literacy Requirement: Lowers Voting Age Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of Oregon: Paragraph 1. Section 2, Article II, and section 6, Article VIII, Oregon Con­ stitution, are amended to read: Sec. 2. (1) Every citizen of the United States is entitled to vote in all elections not otherwise provided for by this Constitution if such citizen: (a) Is [!1]18 years of age or older; (b) Has resided in this state during the six months immediately preceding the election, except that provision may be made by law to permit a person who has resided in this state less than six months immediately preceding the elec­ tion, but who is otherwise qualified under this subsection, to vote in the election for candidates for nomination or election for President or Vice President of the United States or elector of President and Vice President of the United States; and (c) Is registered prior to the election in the manner provided by law.

Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House).

Senate Bill 870 – which passed with a bipartisan vote on the Senate floor today – makes Oregon part of the National Popular Vote Compact, an agreement between states where they will award their Electoral College votes to the presidential candidate who receives the most votes nationally. The authority to appoint electors is granted to each state “in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct,” according to the United States Constitution. “One of things I’m most proud of is how over the history of this country we’ve expanded the franchise and given voters more of a direct say in the election of our leaders,” Sen. Michael Dembrow (D-Portland), who co-carried the bill with Sen. Brian Boquist (R-Dallas) on the Senate floor. “Over time we’ve decided that it’s really important to have people have a direct say in the outcome of elections. We now have 14 other states and the District of Columbia in the compact, and it’s being considered in a number of different states. It’s way past time for Oregon to join them.” The United States Constitution establishes the Electoral College as the mechanism for choosing the President of the United States.

    Interview with Harry B. Gray

    HARRY B. GRAY (b. 1935) INTERVIEWED BY SHIRLEY K. COHEN SEPTEMBER 2000 – MARCH 2001 AND HEIDI ASPATURIAN JANUARY – MAY 2016 Photo taken in 1997 ARCHIVES CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Pasadena, California Subject area Chemistry Abstract Two interviews in seven and six sessions respectively, with Harry Gray, the Arnold O. Beckman Professor of Chemistry. The first series of interviews, conducted in 2000-01 with Shirley Cohen, deals with Gray’s life and career up to that time. The second series, conducted in 2016 with Heidi Aspaturian, covers the period 2001–2016, expands on a number of topics discussed in the first interview series, and adds to the account of Gray’s earlier decades. Discussion topics common to the two interviews are cross-referenced in both texts. 2000–01 Interview Gray opens this interview series with a description of his family roots and formative years in Kentucky’s tobacco-farming country, including his youthful career with the local newspaper and early interest in chemistry. He then provides an account of his undergraduate studies at Western Kentucky State College (BS 1957), graduate work with F. Basolo and R. Pearson at Northwestern University http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechOH:OH_Gray_H (PhD 1960), and postdoctoral work with C. Ballhausen at the University of Copenhagen, where he pioneered the development of ligand field theory. As a professor at Columbia University, he continued work at the frontiers of inorganic chemistry, published several books and, through an affiliation with Rockefeller University, was drawn to interdisciplinary research, which led him to accept a faculty position at Caltech in 1966. He talks about his approach to teaching and his research in inorganic chemistry and electron transfer at Caltech, his interactions with numerous Caltech personalities, including A.
