The Citizens for a Sane Foreign Policy, a newly-formed commu nity group, is coordinating the walk, with the assistance of other groups in Kugene and in nearby rities of Corvallis, Salem, and Portland Coordinators of the walk ex pect a large turnout, possibly larger than any previous peace walk in Kugene. Representatives of a number of peace concerned groups in Eu gene will set up literature tables in tile Park Blocks and will de u ribe the activities and programs of their organizations, in order to inform those who have walked of -the opportunities for becom ing involved in ongoing activities in the community. Terry ltosenberry, who is help ing to co-ordinate the walk, com mented that "Oregon is unique in our nation in having two sena tors who ai e not simply critical of our policy in Viet Nam, but who are suggesting alternatives to our present actions. Support Our Senators “I feel the walk will be an op portunity for the citizens of Lane County to support the debate be ing led by our senators ” Buzz Willits, chairman of the Citizens group, outlined some of the reasons why people will be walking. “The great Spanish writer, edu cator, and philosopher, Unamuno, expressed the tragedy many of us feel over the terrifying devasta tation visited on Viet Nam by our country when he stood against a fascist rally in 193ft and said: ‘At times to be silent is to lie, for silence cun be interpreted as acquiescence I could not survive a divorce between my conscience and my word. "Many of us, like growing num-l bers throughout the country, can no longer remain silent.” Mrs. Bill Welsh, a member of j the local Citizens group, empha-1 sized the need for positive alter natives to the present U.S. Viet Nam policy. Foster Democracy She was concerned that the U.S. follow a policy which would j foster democracy in Viet Nam and which make nonviolent revo- j lution possible in the developing i countries. Secretary General U Thant said on April 1, 1967, "It becomes in creasingly clear to me that this impasse can be broken and a halt put to the increasingly hor riblc slaughter and destruction of the war only if one side or the other shows the wisdom and the courage and the compassion for humanity to take the initiative on a first step. . .

The SU Ballroom contained exhibits Wednesday represent ing 30 countries. Exhibits from Mexico and Turkey were added Wednesday night. General director, Yakkov Eden said he “wanted to get away from the tables used last year” so he “asked each group to build some thing ethnic” which would give a cultural picture of their part of the world. The walls arc lined with booth or tables from China, Australia, Indonesia and several other coun tries and continents. The Arabs constructed a huge tent in the center of the ballroom. Floor lighting and six spot lights in the ceiling create in teresting shadows and moods in the large room much like an east ern bazaar. Bruce Bohlool, whose brother, Frank, is a student at the Uni versity, explained the Iranian ex hibit to the Emerald. It con tained a set of unique handmade silver cookie and candy dishes which have been in the Bohlool ramily for approximately 250 years. The Iranian exhibit also contains a “genuine flying car pet.” There are several special ex hibits. One of particular inter national orientation is “Major Re ligions of the World.” Don Addison, a graduate in piano-music, who is in charge of the religion exhibit, said its main purpose is to “show the unity of religion through its artifacts.” The show also demonstrates the connection of a religion with the part of the world in which it is popular and the universality of many symbols and rituals. He called the statues and gra phic drawings “a manifestation of religion in the arts.” Addison stressed the exhibit is not representative of all the [religions of the world, but only those which are most well • known. Meanwhile next door in the Dads’ Room, students operate a bazaar offering trinkets and food from many of the countries. Other students are preparing for the cultural shows to be pre sented Friday and Saturday nights in McArthur Court at 8 p.m. And the exhibits will all be there until 11 p.m. Saturday night.
