Corvallis Gives Kennedy Warm Greeting By PHIL SEMAK Kmrmlil Keillor CORVALLIS (Special)—-Sena tor Robert K. Kennedy (D-N.Y.), two hours late but still grin ning, flew into this center of Oregon Republicanism Monday and got four standing ovations from a crowd of 7,500 people in Oregon Stute University’s Gill Coliseum. Rig crowds delayed Kennedy on his jajn-pucked Western cam paign tour and he spoke at 5:30 p in., although scheduled to speak at 3:30 p.m. There were still over 9,000 peo pie there at 4:30 p.m. but many of them left when it was an nounced that Kennedy wouldn't arrive until after 5. But when Kennedy, a decep tively boyish figure with a ruddy face and a shock of light brown hair that looks like it is about to turn gray, walked into the col iseum grinning and looking as if he were slightly bewildered at all the attention being given him, they all rose to applaud. Praised LBJ and JFK After a brief Introduction by OSU Student Body President Housnu Ozyegin, and a second standing ovation, Kennedy started Petitioning Set For Honorary Skull and Dagger, University sophomore men’s honorary organ ization, is accepting petitions for membership, according to Presi dent Jake Warsaw.

The references to ‘President Kennedy,” as he refers to his brother, were many and warm. The references to Lyndon John son were no less full of praise but they seemed to come out with a little more effort. He spoke for only 15 minutes, apparently without much of a text, although he shuffled through a few tattered papers before he spoke.

Duncan, who is run ning for the U.S. Senate. “He has worked hard for Ore gon,” Kennedy said. “He is a man who thinks independently. He docs not always agree with the administration. He does not al ways agree with ail groups in the Democratic Party. Then he added with a grin, “Just as I do not,” and the crowd laughed. He also praised Stale Treasur er Robert Straub, the Democratic candidate for governor, as “a man who will give Oregon some lead ership.” Then he turned to the mes sage he has given to many col lege audiences. “You have a re sponsibility to those who suffer in this country and all around the world,” he told them. People Can Change “If there is one thing I learned as attorney general of the Uni ted States it is that one person with an idea, a thought, a com mitment can make things bet ter,” he added. When he was done with those brief remarks he got standing Then he called for questions. Ovation number three. A pretty blond with a turned up nose asked, “Since you dis agree with Mr. Duncan on the war, but you support him anyway, does that mean that you consider your political affiliation more im portant than your principles. Kennedy answered in a series of short, rapid-fire sentences. “1 have never suggested to Mr. Dun can that he change his position. He has never suggested to me that I change mine. I respect him for what he has done on educa tion, on Medicare and on many other issues. I respect his view. I think he respects mine. I sup port him for the Senate of the I United States.” “What are your political am bitions the next six years?” some one else asked. “Just to be a good United States Senator,” Kennedy grinned back impishly and got a round of laughter. Viet Nam Then somebody asked him to detail how he felt on Viet Nam. At that point a little girl in a front row screamed. “That’s how I feel,” he grinned ; to more laughter. Then he got serious. He called for more pacifica tion -efforts in Viet Nam. more effort at making the Vietnamese feel it is their war and not the United States’, more emphasis on j peaceful negotiations, and added that he has serious reservations . . . from a military point of view about bombing North Viet Nam. He added that the Viet Cong should be represented at the ne gotiating tables, “which is where I suppose I disagree with the pres ent administration. (Senator Ken nedy apparently hadn’t heard of an earlier Oregon visitor, Vice - President Hubert Humphrey, who said at the University that the U.S. is willing to have the Viet Cong at the conference table.) He got one of the biggest rounds of applause, when he answered a question by saying, "If somebody attacks my country and the only think I can do to save it was to fight, I will do what was nec essary to save my country.” Somebody else asked about the 18-year-old vote. “I think it’s ter rific,” Kennedy said in what was almost a boyish giggle,” adding a reference to his popularity for youth, “I think I’ll campaign in my next election to lower it to about 12.” Answers Questions Then Kennedy turned question er. Calling for raised hands on a number of issues, he found that most of the people in the room: • Favored the present policy of the administration in Viet Nam, but with reservation. • Thought t.ie draft was un fair but college deferments were all right and a lottery system was best of all. • Favored admission of Com munist China to the United Na tions. Then he left in the midst of hands pressing up to shake his hand and children crowding around for autographs. Ilis final words were a quote from George Bernard Shaw: ‘ Some look at what is and say 'why?’ I look at what might be and say ‘why not?’ ” See story page 1.
