26—The Daily Collegian Monday, May 18, 1981 the district attorney candidates Community action important, Mix says By JOE GRACE Daily Collegian Staff Writer Robert A. Mix is counting on six yeart of experience within the Centre County criminal justice system to carry him to the Republican nomination for Centre County district attorney. Mix, first assistant district attorney since 1974, also served as the county's court administrator and, as law clerk to then-Common Pleas Judge R. Paul Campbell from 1972 to 1974. "My experience here in the district attorney's office is definitely one of my strong, points," Mix, 33, said. "For the last 6 1 / 2 years, I've accumulated the trial experience and the administrative expe rience that's necessary to fill the posi tion." Mix said he is leery of quick, spectactu lar crime-solving solutions. He said his experience has shown him that a con certed community effort is needed to make any significant inroads into the county's crime problem. "The public is demanding insurance that crime be immediately prosecuted and stiffer sentences be imposed," he said. "I certainly agree that our sen tences must have a deterrent effect. But it's not something the D.A. can do alone. He has to work with the judges, and with the community. sig EN 111111111111 MI NM MI MI MI NMI MI MI ME Mil NEI Mi PENN STATE ;COLLEGE YOUNG DEMOCRATS JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT Robert E.

But we can't do it alone." Mix has some definite ideas about getting the citizenry involved in the coun ty judicial process. "I want to establish a district attor ney's advisory committee, composed of business organizations, community rep resentatives and law enforcement offi cials, to discuss the law enforcement needs of the county," Mix said. "I want to identify those needs and then do some thing about them. We don't have all the answers." Mix also said there must be more law enforcement education programs for the public. He said it is important for the public to have a better understanding of what the law really is. Crime is on the rise in Centre County, but extremely violent crimes such as murder and rape are not prevalent enough to scrutinize or criticize sentenc ing procedures, Mix said. "We did have a recent manslaughter case, though, and the conviction resulted in the maximum allowable sentence," he said. "I think that's a good indicator that sentencing is stiff here."

Mix said that although he is not person ally opposed to the death penalty, he wonders about constitutional problems arising from its application. "A problem with capital punishment is uneven application minorities and poor people are sentenced to death more often than other groups," he said. One local controversy surrounding the criminal justice system is drug par aphernalia ordinances, and Mix said he sees constitutional problems there as well. Mix attended Dickinson College as an undergraduate, and graduated from the Dickinson School of Law in 1972. Congratulations Graduating Seniors of Chi Omega! Barb Myrtetus .

Now, he's out to warn the public as well. "It's very apparent to me that crime has risen dramatically in this area," said Lisko, 30, who is campaigning for the Republican nomination for district attorney. "I was a State College policeman eight years ago, and we did not have the amount of crime then.that we have now. "We've always had rape, but we didn't always have armed robbery, and we've had two or three armed robberies in the past few months,". he said. "Violent crime is corning here, and I'm not exactly sure why. "Maybe it's because people are a little more sophisticated, criminals seem to be more brazen than they used to be," he said. "The availability of weapons probably has something to do with it, too." Lisko emphasized the role of the police officer on the street in the battle against crime, and pointed to his own street experience as an indication that he understands the average police officer's problems. "I'm empathetic to the policeman's problems, and I think the police tend to be more open with me," he said. "They know I used to be one of them. I have the advantage of having been in the street at 2 a.m. and having seen that robber run away. "We have good cops here, and they see the increase in crime as well," he said. "They're equipped as far as guns go, but I think there's more we can do." Some candidates emphasize law enforcement educatkin for the general public, but Lisko stressed the need to keep the police abreast of changing criminal justice procedures.

"We need to let the police know how far they can go without trampling someone's constitutional rights," he said. "The changes aren't so much statutory, but procedural. Search:and seizure is •booming right now as a result of recent court decisions. We want the police to be aware of what they can And cannot do." The district attorney's office supplies the county police departments with memos on criminal law developments, but Lisko wants to take that practice one step further. "I'm pushing for in-service, on-the-job training of policemen ' that would be more mandatory than right now," he said. Lisko, like all district `attorney candidates running, advo cates aggressive prosecution of crime. But he does not feel a. iM change is necessary in thecounty court's sentencing practiCes. "Our primary goal is to prevent crime, and one way we can do that is by aggressively prosecuting criminals," he said. "We're out to prosecute anyone who commits a crime in.Centre County, and we want everyone to know that. . "But Ido think the sentencing is appropriate here," he said. "The court has tailored sentencing to fit the crime in Centre County." Domino's Pizza is going crazy for finals week. During finals week, you may use one of the coupons below each day.

Amos Goodall, a former assistant public defender, is ready to work on the • other side of the criminal justice system in the office of Centre County district attorney Gooditll; 32, is running unopposed for the Democratic nomination for district ,attorney in tomorrow's primary. A part-time assistant public defender in 1978 and 1979, Goodall is now asso- ciated with a State College law firm. Goodall points to extensive trial expe- rience, both as a public defender and a ), - ic private defense counselor, as his qualifi i cation for the DA's office. ' "I've been a trial attorney since I began practicing law, and a primary duty of a district attorney obviously is to try cases," Goodall said. "I'm also the only DA candidate running who's in a law firm,, and I'll be able to draw on all that expertise and experience." As a defense counselor, Goodall said he's noticed some problems with the district attorney's office that he'd like to ,rectify if elected. "One way the system doesn't work is R r , r ~ .. ~' , . A the assistant DA's all work on different aspects or sections of a particular case," he said. "One assistant might handle the preliminary hearing, while another might handle the trial. If I'm elected, the same assistant will handle a case from its onset to its conclusion." Another procedure Goodall advocates is placing an assistant DA on 24-hour call in the case of emergencies in which police need the legal aid of a district attorney. Most of the DA candidates tiptoe around . the controversial issue of drug paraphernalia laws. They favor aggres sive prosecution of drug use, but claim drug paraphernalia laws are too difficult to enforce. Goodall, however, is strongly in favor of drug paraphernalia laws. In fact, Goodall assisted State College Municipal Solicitor Robert Kistler in unsucessfully defending a municipal drug parapherna lia ordinance in U.S. District Court last October. "The ordinance was a legitimate com munity response to what they perceived as a problem," Goodall said. "It's impor tant that the sale of drug paraphernalia H. Amos Goodall is perceived as a problem in this commu nity because it is." Goodall agreed that crime is on the rise in the county, and proposed some ways for the district attorney's office to deal with the problem Goodall received his undergraduate degree from Franklin and Marshall Col lege, and earned a law degree from Fordham University in 1974. During law school, he was a law clerk to a New York City criminal court judge and to a federal Magistrate. Amendola cites city experience By JOE GRACE Daily Collegian Staff Writer Joseph L. Amendola says his four years of experience as a Philadelphia assistant district attorney, both on the street and in the courtroom, qualify him as the best candidate for Centre County district attorney. "If you take the other three candidates for district attorney (one Democrat, two Republicans), and add up their volume of experience, not years• but quality, my experience outweighs theirs," said Amendola, 32, who is campaigning for the Repub lican nomination. "I've prosecuted thousands of cases, and I've worked in the streets with the Philadelphia police, so I also have a special feeling for the problems police are confronted with," Amendola said. Amendola said he's ready to make some changes in the district attorney's office if elected. "Judging from the criminal justice system here, I think the county is ready for a high-powered, aggressive district attor ney," he said. "With the increase in crime everywhere, not just in Centre County, we have to realize that the system we have hasn't been working. "I want to be a people's D.A. --- I think people working with people is the best way to attack the problems of crime," he said. "I want to set up town meetings all across the county, with the district attorney talking to citizens about crime, getting their feedback. "As an outgrowth of these town meetings, I'd like to set up town councils, composed of teachers, school board members PENN In Northeastern Pennsylvania Earn Penn.

Amendola said he had a theory as to why crime is on the rise locally, statewide and nationally. "It all goes back to people being held accountable for their actions," he said. "It's a basic concept of criminal justice but somewhere along the line we've gotten away from it. People 'have to start realizing that no matter what they do, they're going to be held accountable.
