The most pressing issue on the agenda of the two superpower leaders will be reducing the risk of nuclear war. The awarding of the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize last month to the In ternational Physicians for the Pre vention of Nuclear War, a group founded five years ago by three American and three Russian phys icians, helped to focus attention on international public concern about the arms race. Physicians for Social Responsi bility, the American branch of IP PNW, has joined with other na tional organizations—FREEZE, SANE and WAND, the group founded by Dr. Helen Caldicott, in a campaign of public pressure for substantive summit results. Locally, a number of peace and justice groups have joined forces in Citizens for a Meaningful Sum mit to promote public awareness about the Geneva Summit. Local Activities Local summit awareness activi ties will begin Nov. 15 with a per formance by the Atomic Comics, a San Francisco-based comedy duo who have been performing nuclear and political humor since 1980. The performance will be at 7:30 pm at the Erb Memorial Union on the U of O campus. Tickets ($3.50 students/$4.50 general public) are available at the EMU Main Desk. Several area schools will focus on the Geneva Summit the week of Nov. 12-15. The local chapter of Educators for Social Responsi bility is planning activities on the theme of "Finding Common Ground.” For more information, call 484-1150. Community Access Cable 11 TV will broadcast a special na tionwide video conference pro duced by the Union of Concerned Scientists on November 18 from 8-10 pm. The program will be repeated on November 22 from 7-9 pm.

Berkeley Mayor speaks Berkeley Mayor Eugene "Gus" Newport is one of the most unique public officials in the U.S. today. His experiences and scope of parti cipation in the social movements of the last two decades make him particularly capable of chronicling the development of Black political thought and activity, as well as the substantive philosophical shifts and changes as regards to economic development, job de velopment and the changing role of the federal government in rela tion to local municipalities. His unique contributions in the areas of coalition building and the fight for peace, as well as his experi ences as the dynamic mayor of the innovative city of Berkeley makes him an important speaker on the pressing issues of our time. An internationally known ad vocate of peace, Newport is now leading the fight against gentri fication, for housing development and the civil rights of minorities and the disabled in what is na tionally recognized as one of the most creative and important municipal experiments in the history of local government. The Mayor will speak on Mon day, Nov. 11, at 7:30 pm in Room Eugene “Gus" Newport 167 at the EMU on the U of O campus. His speech is entitled Central America, Racism and Pro gressive Politics. He will also join CALCs (Cler gy & Laity concerned) annual meeting and speak on "A Mayor's Account of U.S. Foreign Policy and Its Effect on Community Life." The public is welcome. It takes place at Bethel Temple COGIC, 1545 S. Brooklyn St., Glenwood, from 4-6:30 pm, on Sunday.
