Lane Community College Vol. 18, No. 17 February 12 - •, 1981 4000 E. 30th Ave. Eugene, OR 97 405 A house isn't ol\l\lays , y/~~-:; a home - _::__---------- . ....... - by Mara Math of The TORCH ''We had a great place -- it was on Franklin and it was really cheap. Then the landlords tripled the rent because they wanted to turn it into a store," laments one student. '' So now I live in Springfield. Like they say, all the good deals in Eugene are in Springfield.'' The rapid disappearance of inexpensive housing in Eugene is only one example of the need to apply the concept of preventative medicine to housing as well as to medical care. The best time to work on neighborhood displacement, says Rick GoIdstein, coordinator of the Neighborhood Housing Resource Center (NHRC), "is before it starts. After it heats up, it's much harder to fight the private market.'' The NHRC is a coalition of five central neighborhood groups bordering downtown Eugene -Whitaker, West Side, Jefferson, West University and Far West -which all share two important characteristics: They have the densest housing as well as the highest percentage of low-income people in Eugene. And according to housing codes, even higher density is planned for these areas. , "We realized that because our neighborhoods have similar problems, we could go further working together," explains Goldstein. So two members from each neighborhood group sit on the NH RC board. Because there is regular contact between the representatives, the center functions as an information clearinghouse. - VANISHING RENTALS Eugene will experience much more displacement of low-income residents, Golstein contends. As gas prices rise, and as the city redevelopment projects add to the desirability of the inner city (the new Community Arts Center, for instance, or the re-modeling of the Fifth Street Public Market), subsequently "low income housing is the first to go." NHRC has three primary goals: Halting the displacement, maintaining diversity housing and creating solutions to the density problem. · It is particularly concerned with low-income rentals because· renters have limited power in negotiating housing planning. . • --- ~-=. ...::. ----== '- '1 \ ~ • °' .i I ·, . . . --~ ••' ... ·.-: •• , / ,, - ...=. -- ~;-'.t . - ' .,; I \ • ;' ·_•.

But several Urban Planning graduate students work on displacement studies, and NHRC hires consultants for other work. Since its incorporation last fall, NHRC has monitored the fate of rental housing in Eugene. Among the data collected is the fact that in one year, 40 units of housing '' have been or are about to be lost.'' This represents housing for anywhere up to 150 people, and the term "lost" means that these units will be sold but not retained as low-income dwellings. "NO ONE IS EVIL" Goldstein explains that what makes these houses vulnerable is that, although they are all zoned ' for residential use, they are zoned for non-residential use as well. "That's worth more money. It's not that anyone is evil,'' he says, '' but if you can get more money .. Redevelopment, rehabilitation projects, and condominiums push low-income residents out directly, but they also raise property values. '' Sometimes the .,,.. ·, landlords can't afford not to sell, after property taxes rise.''. Goldstein counters developers' assertions that new housing will meet community needs: Very little housing is being developed downtown, he says, and what is being built is far from inexpensive. "Of course there is a need Continued on Page 2 Page 2 February 12 - •. 1981 The TORCH · -Home- Continued from P~ge 1 for stores and medical - buildings ," Goldstein says, "but the situation isn't balanced. Lowincome housing is not being replaced. Comparing the housing that's now being built to what has been lost is like comparing apples and oranges. Therefore, another goal of NHRC is to maintain a diversity of housing, both a range of prices for all income levels and a variety of kinds of housing for all sorts of living situations -- singles, families, the elderly, the physically challenged. A third goal of the Center is to search out and create design solutions to the problem of density. "Most of the ways we build denser housing in Eugene are pretty ugly, and nobody wants to live in or around them," Goldstein says. For the '' Livable Cities" project now underway, the center hired a team of ar- , chitects to study the design . Seattle and several other cities have already passed ordinances regulating the demolition and conversion of housing. Goldstein says this is a possible solution for some of Eugene's housing problems , although it does retard small scale commercial development. '' I think a sensitive balance could be struck," Goldstein says. Grease: slick producti o·n inspires fun by Sarah Brown of The TORCH If one word could characterize the opening night performance of "Grease" it's "energy." The plot is skeletal at best, it's true. But somehow the skimpiness of the story line only serves to showcase some terrific staging. The curtain goes up on a very low-key high school reunion scene. Within ten minutes, the audience is transported back to the 50s and '' Rydell High,'' complete with leather jackets, ponytails, tight skirts, poodle skirts, greasy hair, wing-tips and adolescent pranks. Danny Zuko (Tim Foster) and Sandy Dumbrowski (Bethany Lovelace) have spent the whole summer together at the beach. She is new in town and about to enroll in a parochial high school; he tells her he goes to Lake Forest Academy. They have a terrific vacation, and then (sigh) it's the end of summer romance and back to reality.

'' I spend a lol of my spare time competing here, there's a lot of competition, lot's of good competition!'' explains student Greg Crump about LCC's Intramural (IM) program. • From noon to 1 p.m. on Mondays, Wednsdays and Fridays, Crump participates in the badminton class. He is active in a tournament as a singles and doubles competitor, and is ranked among the best in both areas. That's not all. Every day for two or three hours, he can be seen "pumping iron' '_-tQ ready himself for the upcoming weight lifting tournament sponsored by the IM department. At 5 p.m. on Mondays, and Wednsdays, he's a member of an IM basketball team which is now competing in a tourney at the YMCA with hopes of championship play. And when he gets a break in the action, he turns to an IM ping-pong table. Right, Crump is competing in the on-going tournament on the pedestrian side of the gym also. The IM program is perfect for Greg Crump. Apparently, its attracting a lot of other LCC men and women . Three additional men's basketball teams were added this year, bringing the total to 13 squads. Interest in volleyball has increased and badminton has continued to have very strong participation, thanks to the widespread staff interest. . Program Coordinator Mitch Allara attributes badminton's success in part to the weather: "Tennis courts are usually under water, and there are no facilities for handball or raquetball. '' All students enrolled in any department of the college -- even staff and faculty are automatically eligible for intramural privileges. ''The response to this program has been great and is growing from year-to-year, even term-toterm." Three types of activities are offered at various times in the year -- contests, competitive leagues, and drop-in activities. Men's and women's (and coed) club sports, or extramurals as they are sometimes called, are also offered in volleyball, badminton, and dance. And a women's soccer club is active.

The Titans, 6 - 6 in league play, need to sweep contests with visiting Blue Mountain, Friday night, and Mt. Hood, Saturday night, to grab a share of third place in the OCCAA playoff race. LCC is currently alone in fourth place after the win over Clackamas (68 - 58) last Saturday. Blue Mountain is tied for third place with Mt. Hood with a 7 - 6 record. "These are must games for us;'' says coach Sue Thompson, since '' the race for the conference playoffs may come down to the wire with so many teams clustered together, fighting for the third and fourth place spots,'' and hence a playoff berth. The three rival stats' all point to league's top seven scorers. All. Leaguers, Nan Wetherbee (16.8 points per game) and Sue Serder (14.5) combined with teammate JoBe Smith (16.8) to help the Saints ring up an average of 69. 7 points a game on the board. On the other end, they give up a 62.2. ''Mt. Hood is one of the top fast-break teams in the conference,'' cautions Thompson. ''They have quick guards and big players, and really, I don't think they have a big weakness." So, how will the Titans counter 53. • the Blue Mountain and Mt.

Mt. Hood is led by three buddies Allen and Pam Drew are players who are among the averaging nearly 28 points a what could be a closely contested weekend of battles. LCC will be a slight favorite over Blue Mountain. Earlier this season, the Titans rolled by the Timber-Wolfettes, 57 - 47, as guard Dena Allen tossed-in 14 points and center Willow Williams used her 6' O" height to grab 12 rebounds. Later in the seaon against Mt. Hood, Allen again hit for 14 points while teammate Colleen Schreiber pulled in eight rebounds, but the Saints rolled by the Titans, 64 - game, combined. Teammates Williams and Schreiber will help out in rebounding. The two are both averaging 8.8 rebounds a game, and will be responsible for shutting down Mt. Hood's Wetherbee, who leads the league in rebounding with nearly 13 a game. "It's gonna come down to the last weekend (Feb. 21 - 22)," said Thompson of the league race. "But it won't mean much to us if we don't win this weekend.'' The Titan men will face the Blue Mountain and Mt. Hood men at 8 p.m. after both women's games.

Passage would provide construction funds for EPUD power stations in outlying districts of Lane County. It would also end EPUD's 10-year "power" struggle to replace the privately-owned Pacific Power and Light Company. Ed Wemple, one of five EPUD directors, claims affected area residents could save money on electric bills almost immediately upon establishment of a publically owned utility. EPUD studies, he says, project that by 1990 PP&L customers will be paying over 42 percent more on their electric bills than they would under EPUD. And, he adds, the revenue bond would be paid off within 30 years, solely by the sale of electricity, unlike a general obligation bond which, in case of project failure, would have to be financed by the people through property taxes. EPUD's power resources would .come from Bonneville Power Administration dams that operate on the Columbia River, wholesale power purchased from PP&L, power generated on the North Umpqua River from existing hydro-electric dams, and from the creation of new hydro-power sources. PP&L, he maintains, on the other hand, ··is looking at nuclear and coal plants, which will be right here in Oregon. But local control means a choice of your energy supplies, as well as accountable public officials.'' PP&L officials refer questions on this issue to Loren Ross, chairman of the Citizen's Committee for Informed EPUD Voters. Ross is not certain EPUD is the answer, and says the committee is urging a "No" vote on the 17th. "Our questions," he says '' relate to the feasibility of passing a bond that is in essence a blank check for EPUD to spend any amount from O to $72 .5 million. EPUD should be able to establish the amount they want and they haven't done that.'' Wemple, however, justifies the $72.5 million figure. ''We are asking $23 million, which is the top end we can pay for the distribution system; $31 million for dams on the North Umpqua River; and $18.5 in reserve, which is required by the bonding company for -back-up any year annnual payments could not be met." For Ross, another rankling question is "Can EPU Dguarantee that their electric rate will not be higher than what PP&L is charging?'' "Nothing's written in stone," Wemple refutes. "PP&L can't guarantee that their rates won't go up either. In fact," he continues, "in hearings held in Salem this summer, PP&L testified under oath that they will need to increase their rates 95 percent over the coming decade.·' 'Human rights' crisis by Ron Kelly for The TORCH 9:30 a.m. and continue into the evening.

Goode, but you sure ain 't no man/you look so strange we give you a name, Bebe La Strange. ''Sometimes I don't think I can go out there and do the same old jokes, but once I put on that tunny nose I know I'm the Bubbo the Clown that those people out there came to seEJ. " Ann Wilson. Whatever happened to '1he two innocent-looking bare-shouldered women that graced the cover of Dreamboat Annie back in 1976? Who were those dames with the poodle locks that claimed to be the same fair sisters in 1979? Ann and Nancy Wilson, the female force behind the heavy metal group Heart, have travelled a long way from the backwoods of the Puget Sound to national stardom and now comes the inevitable Greatest Hits album and half of it live to boot. The double record set includes a smattering of tunes from Dreamboat Annie, Little Queen, Magazine, Dog and Butterfly and the whatit ' s-li ke-to-be-a-big-rock-star confessions of Bebe La Strange. For a "best of" collection it's fairly representative of Heart's catchiest numbers and most distinctive statements . The first record, the greatest hits part , features the two groundbreaker numbers that got Heart rolling : Magic Man and Crazy On You. It's no great surprise that the songs did so well so quickly after the debut album 's release . It was an obvious winning combination of . a seductive album package , a dramatic and exciting new band that played with fresh energy from the wilds of the Pacific Northwest , and some of the sharpest hooks in the meat house. That's one thing they seem to understand -- a catchy tune will catch on. At the time Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles and a lot of those El Lay based bands were filling coliseums, but Heart soon became part of the lineup for outdoor festivals. Then they started stealing the show. Soon the sisters Wilson found themselves in the midst of courtroom drama after unscrupulous promoters used the Dreamboat shot to sell the second release with the caption, ' ' It was their first time. " Welcome to the big top, Bubbo. At any rate, the group put out a couple of mediocre albums , Little Queen and Magazine, before returning to the artistic quality and emotional pitch they are capable of with Dog and Butterfly. Female rock artists of the 6Os pioneered the mixing of feminine statements with vicious heavy metal background and Heart has been accused of exploiting (or at least not being as good at) the theory behind Amazon rock. Barracuda, not •to be confused with the theme from Bonanza, Straight On, Even It Up and Heartless are all fast movers and fun, but lack the intensity of such great women rockers like Grace Slick and Janis . Sister Ann, never doubted to be the leader of the group, hates to be vocally compared to the aforementioned, not to mention other lead screamers like Steven Tyler, Rod Stewart or Robert Plant. So it's interesting to note that the Live album has a cover of Led Zep's Rock and Ro~ dedicated to John Bonham, plus I'm Down and Long Tall Sally. Heart's hardest hitting masterpiece is superbly performed live on the third side of the collection . Mistral Wind, like a dragon crawling out from hibernation after a hundred years sleep, highlights the Wilson ideology with the force of the ocean and the imagery of windswept seas. , ct.co~ itt~"w~ the'1,eb~ Mulligan's Soup Kitchen in the Jefferson Elevator Building, 315 Madison, is proud to announce a: Starving Student Discount!

That's something the sisters, who co-write most of Heart's material, dwell on. stumbled upon your secret place, safe in the trees with tears on your face, wrestling with your desires, frozen strangers stealing your fires. (Dog and Butterfly) Heart proved on the Dog and Butterfly album that they could play aggressive, steamy rock, like the scorching Cook With Fire and record just the opposite sound on the flip side. A butterfly rising from the flame, a touch of love, this lighter touch The 198O's brought a mass of women rockers to the limelight , but the Wilson sisters were already there. Heart will undoubtably survive the recent loss of a male group member, since most of the attention is focused upon the women anyway. With or without the funny nose, the show must go on . By Jeff Saint West 11th Cinema ''The Incredible Shrinking Woman'' starts off as a promising satire that focuses on the diminishing appreciation the average suburban housewife faces, but once Pat Kramer (Lily Tomlin) literally begins to shrink, so does the plot (along with my enthusiasm). I liked Lily Tomlin 's staminainfused portrayal of a longsuffering wife and mother of anywhere from 2 to 6 kids at a time. However, she does seem to possess an unrealistic amount of patience. It's impossible to tell which kids are hers since the little people on the cul-de-sac have full run of the white, middle class neighborhood, and dart continuously in and out of everybodys' house creating ''cute'' (puke) havoc. Of course mentally the biggest child of them all is hubby Vance. He has sold out to his advertising career and won't stand up for Pat vs. twentieth-century technology. After all, she's just the "little woman." I mean, he could lose his job and sacrifice his place in the American Dream. He is tops in the area of lip service, however. They discover that a new perfume (brilliantly christened "Sexpot" which sounds like sex and drugs to Vance and goes along with the sexist mentality of the movie) marketed by his firm, is responsible for Pat's dwindling condition . The Dark Tower and Other Stories C. S. Lewis There is a very unique cult of readers who specialize in a type of spirtiualized, intellectualized science fiction . Actually it is more fantasy; sometimes it borders on philosophical treatise. This cult has an endless stream of " scripture " to devour. J.R.R . Tolkien wrote The Hobbit, and soon after followed with a related trilogy , The Fellowship of the Rings. George Macdonald wrote brain tingling short stories , and in their tradition, C. S. Lewis wrote what he called a '· space trilogy,'' though to be honest, it isn't ultimately about space, at least not outer space. The Dark Tower and Other , Stories was published after Lewis' death, and after his former secretary, Walter Hooper, stumbled on a bonfire fueled by Lewis' notes and unfinished stories. It seems that Major W. H. Lewis, (brother of C. S.) saved the papers he found to be relevant and then proceeded to burri the rest. Hooper salvaged what he could and went on to publish Dark Tower. The Dark Tower is an unfinished work. Whether it was intended to be another book, obviously a sequel to the space trilogy, or just a short story, we may never know. In some ways it is more · frustrating than reading Gone With the Wind -- at least you ca~ fantasize an ending to that one. With Lewis, it is impossible, basically because you never know which bend his mind will turn around next. Dark Tower begins with a Cambridge professor, Orfieu, explaining his latest idea for time travel to a group of fellow scholars, comprised of the narrator, Ransom (a figure from the space trilogy), McPhee, another space case, and Scudamour, a young colleague . Scudamour and Orfieu have been working on a " chronoscope," a time machine that enables participants to watch without having to actually be in a desired place . , During experimentation it becomes apparent that the chronoscope still has a-few bugs to be worked out -- the scene they are viewing is not another time, but an-0ther dimension into which Scudamour is accidentally transported. The scene flashes back and forth between the four remaining and perplexed scientists who can , see, but not communicate with : their unfortunate friend, and Scudamour, who can neither see nor talk with anyone familiar. At one point , Scudamour is reading a book he found in this mysterious place. That is where Lewis' manuscript ends. If there is a heaven, as Lewis, a Christian convert, insists there is, I' m dying to ask him what happens next (No pun intended, gen- ltt:tttr' Of course the firm Vance works for can 't operate with bad publicity. So, after being diagnosed as a victim of twentieth century technology -- meaning a combination of all the products those housewives on TV swear by -- Pat moves into the doll 's house while the doctors try to find an antidote. Meanwhile, there is a diabolical group of power-hungry execs and doctors who want to use Pat 's blood to shrink the rest of the world (the originality kills me) . Pat becomes a pint-sized novelty to all , ending up on the Mike Douglas show where she remains intensely loyal to her breadwinner, declining to expose the faulty product. From here on the film really falls apart, relying on a little bit of "Network" and a lot of "King Kong'' to puff up an already "shrinking" plot. A congenial ape appearing in the latter part of the flick has more respect and charity for humankind than all the rest. He also gets the biggest laugh from the u·nder-13 set when he flips off the bad guys. The best scene in this whole excuse-for-entertainment is when Pat goes down the drain and is in danger of becoming ground up with the rest of the garbage (which in my opinion , is what they can do with the whole show). On the whole, I would say, the monkey gesticulated it all. By Chris Abramson Literature------------ tie reader). The next short story is entitled , " The Man Born·Blind " and, oddly enough , is about a man who has been blind from birth. He has an operation that gives him sight. All his life he has heard about " light" and how beautiful it is . Once he gains sight, however, he can 't find anything to equal his expectations. ' ' She interpreted his quick glances to be glances of delight. In reality , of course , he was searching , searching with a hunger that had alread y something of desperation in it .. The man encounters a painter who points out the " real solid light' ' at the bottom of a sundrenched rock quarry , whereupon the desperate seeker plunges headlong into the midst of it. ''. . . From beneath a newmade and rapidly vanishing rift in the fog, there came up no cry but only a sound so sharp and definite that you would hardly expect it to have been made by the fall of anything so soft as a human body; that, and some rattling of loosened stones . .. ' ' Complete or not, another glimpse into this master musician of words is worth a little frustration. Recommended reading for Lewis groupies, sci-fi fans, or anyone who would relish something beautiful , challenging and out of the ordinary. One word of caution -- C. S.

The TORCH February 12 - JI. 1981 Page 7 Mass sterilization in this country? by George Wagner of The TORCH Would the United States ever legislate a policy of mass sterilization or selective human breeding? Absurd? It happened once between 1905 and 1932. During that period 20,000 Americans were sterilized for being ''unfit''. The label "unfit" applied in many cases to . the poor or slow learners. Sometimes it was attached for '' racial inferiority'' -being a Catholic or a Jew. It was commonly believed that biological truths and laws were equally complimentary to both man and beast. Consequently, if a better horse could be bred, so could a better man. From this belief it was an easy step to the idea that certain species were more advanced than others. Anthropologists divided mankind into a large varie1y of species, each representing a differ-ent stage in the evolutionary process. The most advanced species was the Nordic race, a people located in northern Europe, that Graphic by Michael Scully During this era the U.S. passed legislation designed to create a " superior .stock " of American citizens . This movement, called " eugenics," climaxed with Germany's exaltation of the Aryan , the " perfect " man , during World War II. Hitler, who sterilized 250 ,000 people in the early 1930s, embarrassed other nations striving for similar programs whq wanted to appoach the problem at a more moderate speed . Other countries that had eugenic programs include England, Scandinavia, Italy, Austria, France, Japan, and parts of Canada and South America. CULTURAL CONDITIONS In the late 19th century U.S. intellectuals were highly influenced by the social climate of Victorian England and the 18th century idealism of Voltaire, Rousseau, Hegel, and Concorcet; philosophers who upheld the belief that humanity could be perfected . Darwin's theory of evolution provided a scientific support for these ideas. At this time, much of traditional religion had been undermined with an overwhelming confidence in progress via industry and science . Scientific facts could be trusted . With science , man was sure to progress . Nobody new what '!V.hat the ,progress .wou ld lead to. They knew only that it would be g·ood. also (it was claimed) composed the stock of the original American colonizers . These were the WASPs (White Anglo--Saxon Protestant Americans). After the Civil War, industry and urbanization threatened authority the WASPS had monopolized for several decades. Mass immigration, the shift of authority to unions, the rise of monopolies and other dramatic incidents made traditional structures shake with insecurity and alienation. When biology offered a scientific reason for protecting and preserving their pedigree, WASPs went head over heels. Herbert Spencer's theory of Social Darwinism was the language of every group. Social Darwinism is the doctrine of survival of the fittest. It upholds the idea that the evolutionary process had been cut off by religions and ethics that led people to protect the weak and allow them to inter-breed instead of die off. Under this premise, things such as welfare were considered a violation of freedom. With these theories in hand, liberals, progressives, conservatives , ambitious politicians and entrepreneurs all found a moral Hcense for manipulating the masses. Spencer's impact was so great that in 1905 Oliver Wendell Holmes had to remind his Supreme Court colleagues that Spencer was not in the Constitution. SCIENTIFIC INFLUENCE In 1900 Mendel's paper of 1866 was rediscovered. Mendel's law allowed geneticists to make predictions about the type and number of offspring which could be derived from differing breeds of stock. Along with this came the belief that all traits were passed by a single gene acting independent of the others . The simplicity of these beliefs made it appear easy to create better human stock as well. The scientific community was split by two views: traits are hereditary or traits are caused by environment. In the 19th and early 20th centuries a great deal of speculation and inconclusive hypotheses were accepted as unquestionable truths because they favored one or the other of these positions. For a period of time in the early 1900s heredity won the toss-up and resulted in a major political move -- eugenics . EUGENICS Eugeneics is comprised of two parts : negative and positive. The purpose of negative eugenics was to prevent the reproduction of '· misfits '' or " unworthy parents. " These included epileptics, criminals, alcoholics, the feebleminded, idiots, imbeciles, the insane, prostitutes, paupers, vagrants, anarchists and others with physiological infirmities. The ra- tionale was that such problems were inherited -- it was useless to alter the environments of these people -- _they needed to be destroyed. Negative eugenics called for incarceration, marriage restrictions, immigration quotas and sterilization laws. Theodore Roosevelt wrote: ••I wish very much that the wrong people could be prevented entirely from breeding; and when the evil nature of these people is sufficiently fla{Jrant, this should be done. Criminals should be sterilized and feebleminded persons forbidden to leave offspring behind them." In 1927 Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes ruled that such laws were necessary to rid the world of "incompetence." Margret Sanger founded Planned Parenthood during this period . ; '' It is a curious but neglected i fact,·' said Sanger ' 'that the very type which in all kindness should be obliterated from the human stock, have been permitted to reproduce themselves and to perpetuate their group, succored by the policy of indiscriminant charity of warm hearts uncontrolled by cool hands ." To solve this problem '' ... ask the government to take the burden of the insane and feebleminded from your back .. .Sterilization is the solution. " By 1931, 30 states had passed sterilization laws. Positive eugenics, on the other hand , encouraged the breeding of "worthy parents." "The emphasis should be on getting worthy people to breed ,' ' wrote Roosevelt. Francis Gaitan, Darwin ' s cousin, said, "Charity should help the strong rather than the weak. ' ' ' ' Blue blood' ' families were publically encouraged to have large famil ies . Exhortations of this sort came from many notable individuals , President Calvin Coolidge and Alexander Graham Bell, to name a few. Coolidge wrote, in an article published in Good Housekeeping , "There are racial considerations too grave to be brushed aside for any sentimental reasons . Biological laws tell us that certain SCHOOL OF TROCKING. INC. *DAY OR EVENING CLASSES *ONE-ON-ONE DRIVE SESSIONS ( Next Class Mon. Feb 16 343-804 3 I divergent people will not mix or blend. The Nordic propagate themselves successfully. . . observations of ethnic law is as great a necessity to a nation as immigration law.'' LEGISLATION Geneticists, who at first endorsed the movement, began to disprove many of the earlier assumptions. The eugenicists, rather than recanting, censored the geneticists and began to look to legislation to carry the ball the geneticists had dropped. In a long-fought legislative session in which countless proeugenisists took the floor, only one geneticist was allowed to speak (for three minutes). Eventually, both houses passed the Immigration Restriction Act of 1924 (Johnson Act). This set limits on the number of undesirables allowed in the country. As a result of these laws, Jews fleeing the wrath of Hitler were refused entrance into the U.S. and were sent back to the ovens of Germany. IN RETROSPECT The eugenics movement in America came to an end for many reasons. Primarily there was the embarrassment of Germany asking for American eugenic data ; Germany extended an honorary M. D. to one of the major American eugenicists. Other reasons included new discoveries in genetics which disproved the old assumptions, the fight of big business to get more cheap labor into the country, and the stock market collapse that caused many of America 's well bred men to jump off skyscrapers . The immigration laws were revised by the 1965 Celler Act , which allowed any country to send up to 20 ,000 immigrants to America per year. The eugenics movement was a victim of its own time. The blind faith in science to reveal truth and value made eugenicists victims of a groundless idealism based on premature scientific assumptions . Leaders , for whatever motives , failed to back off when contrary evidence emerged. The result was a McCarthyistic persecution that resulted in the loss of rights to many American citizens .
