Graduate Student Talks to Russians NEWPORT (UPI)—“Good morning. We came from Newport to visit you." This greeting was shouted three times while the 52-foot dragboat Miss Connie out of Newport jockeyed to keep position in between a much larger Russian mother ship and one of her 150-foot trawlers about 25 miles southwest of here in calm seas. The reply finally came. “Oh?” then some shouts of "Good morning.” Jere O'Brien. 30, University graduate student, reported to United Press International that he and a Russian interpreter boarded the Miss Connie early Tuesday morning in an attempt to establish contact with the swelling Russian fishing fleet off the Oregon coast—and if possible to board one of the ships. O'Brien wasn’t the only one keeping an eye on the Russian fleet, which has become a source of anger and frustration to this normally mild-mannered Oregon fishing community. The Coast Guard cutter Yocona out of Astoria, Ore., was also shadowing the Russians and reported visual sightings of 36 Russian fishing boats about 20 miles off the entrance of Yaquina Bay harbor The Yocona reported the fleet was spreading out and asked for Coast Guard air surveillance to assist them in keeping track of the wandering Russians. O'Brien’s efforts to talk to the oilskin-clad visitors who have pene trated Oregon’s fishnet curtain came to an abrupt halt when a Russian talking to O’Brien on a two-way radio received a chewing out in the finest tradition of seagoing men all over the world. The radio from the Soviet trawler Omega crackled "Who is playing around with the radio? What gives you the right to tell them our call letters? It is important to keep this frequency open for communication with the little boats.” End of conversation.

Broadway 342-3951 American Culture Saturated Bv Militarism, Savs Barclay By CLIFF SANDERLIN Staff Writer "War and militarism lead to blind obedience and subservatism, as well as breaking down man's worth and dignity,” said Harold Barclay, member of the Portland State College faculty Wednesday at Fenton Hall. Barclay said the American so ciety has become permeated with the idea of militarism and author itarianism, giving such examples as war toys, television programs such as "Combat” and "Twelve O'clock High," military parades, and even our school systems. "Our schools are not run much different from any barracks,” he said. Barclay, who was errone ously reported as Portland State's president-elect, said these are forcing people more and more into a calloused outlook on life and a subservience. He added, "our values of equality, brother hood, love, and other squurc ideas arc being submerged by the overwhelming force of militari zation in this country." He warned that if we continue the way we are headed now, we may run the risk of turning our selves into potential Adolph Rich matins. "I am not suggesting mil itary service and activities is in j and of itself going to produce 11 ' country of robot killers,” he said, "but it has a numbing effect and j . . . leads to an immunity to kill mg" Keith Salmonson, another of the four men speaking against the , draft Wednesday evening, said,! “We have taken on many of the fascist tendencies that Hitler did and are even outdoing him in many ways." Salmonson, world traveler and , former member of the Peace Job Corps Center To Host Assembly ‘The Job Corps and the Great Society" will be the subject of a Saturday through Sunday Ore gon Assembly at the University's Tongue Point Job Corps Center in which both members of the Center and University students, faculty and staff will participate. The event is part of a new pro gram of the University’s Student Union Forum Committee to fur ther working relations between the Center and the Student Union. Corpsmen have participated in a number of recent campus activi ties, including an earlier Oregon Assembly; an exhibit of art works of Corpsmen was recently dis played in the SU . The Oregon Assembly, a regu lar program of the SU Forum Committee, is patterned after the American Assembly program of Columbia University. It involves groups of students and members of the faculty, staff and community convening for several uninterrupted hours at an off-campus site to discuss pre selected topics. The Assembly will focus on how the Job Corps Center is now functioning and fulfilling objec tives of the War on Poverty pro gram, and on current difficulties and problems. University President Arthur S. Flemming will be the first speak er He will talk at 3 pm, Satur day. Harold McAbee, assistant di rector for program at the Job Corps Center, will deliver the sec ond speech at 7 p in Both address es will be followed by small group discussion sessions. Saturday’s activities will con clude with a 10 p.m. social hour The final Assembly session will be at 10 am, Sunday, to summar ize the discussions and speeches. The University delegation at the Assembly will include 24 stu dents representing a variety of majors and ten faculty and staff members from various depart ments. The students are from all classes. Corps who said hr favored non violent means of accomplishing IhinK*. added, "Armies are com pletely obsolete as instruments of national policy, therefore con scription is obsolete, as are weap ons.” The soft-spoken pacifist Rave several instances of what non violence has achieved, from the time of Rome to the present day l>ains Negroes have made in their civil rights activities. Salmonson said "it's your be liefs that count," and "if you don't believe what’s going on in Viet Nam is right but let your self be drafted anyway than you will have a guilty conscience." John Howard, professor of so ciology. said any reasonable pri son would have to conclude "there is no rational, pragmatic need for the draft." Howard countered the general arguments which support the draft, saying, there is no "uni versality or draft"; the draft doesn't necessarily "build char acter," nor is it "really neces sary for the defense of our coun try." He said the draft is not uni versal because it falls most heav ily on the poor. "The draft was not intended to be universal," Howard said, "it was intended to channel certain people such as college students into certain im portant civilian occupations . it is a threat to them ... by vir tue of having the poor get draft ed."
