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. . .

Psychology Profs
Give Speeches
Two University faculty mem
bers, Philip J. Runkel and Saul
Toobert, will be among the ma
jor speakers at the spring meet
ing of the Oregon Psychological
Association on Friday and Satur
day in Portland.
Runkel is associate director of
the Center for Advanced Study
of Education Administration
(CASEA) at the University, and
Toobert is a supervisor of group
counseling and training for the
University’s Counseling Center.
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.
