Until 30 years ago, the Hmong did not have a written language; Pandau needle- work was their only record of history. At right is an example of the cut applique technique of Pandau.

campaign funds through a tax form checkoff should be allowed, even though Proposition 73 bans any use of public funds to finance campaigns. Fellmeth and Common Cause ar- gued that because the checkoff is vol- untary, the funds technically are not public monies. During the campaign, backers of Proposition 68 said the public financing would r~ly on the state's general fund. The commission also did not adopt Proposition 68's campaign spending limits, which can only be legally en• forced when public funds are provid- ed. The commission did agree to en- force Proposition 68's increase in ad- ministrative fines and tougher dis- closure reqmrements.

son, R-Fullerton, who helped wnte Proposition 73, said he was satisfied with the decision, even though he maintained that no part of Proposi- tion 68 should become law. Proposition 73, scheduled to take effect Jan. 1, 1989, would for the first time impose financial limits on cam- paign contributions and prohibit can- didates from transferring their polit- ical funds to other candidates. Its supporters say the measure will reduce the impact of campaign money on state decision-making and level the playing field between in- cumbents and their challengers. The measure caps coDtnbot1ons made by individuals at $1,000 to each candidate per fiscal year and per- mits political action committees to

Nevertheless, the five-member commtSSion struggled for more than two hours with what parts of Propo- s1t10n 68 should be allowed to stand. Backers of Proposition 73 said their measure completely wipes out the competing initiative. Supporters of Proposition 68 insist- ed major provisions of its initiative should be enforced, including the use of taxpayer money to finance cam- paigns. The commission essentially rati- fied the staff recommendation on a 4-1 vote, with chairman John Larson opposed. Assemblyman Ross John-

California Common Cause and other backers of Proposition 68 said they will hie a lawsuit to uphold cer- tain aspects of their Initiative. Spe- c1fically, they want the commission to enforce Proposition 68's limit on the aggregate amount of contribu- tions by individuals or committees to all candidates. The suit also likely will challenge the commission's ruling against Propo tlton 68's ban on non-election year fund raising, according to Steve Barrow of Common Cause. Meanwhile, University of San Diego ll1w professor Robert F'elrmeth told the committee that Propos1t1on 68 s proposal to raise
