Throughout United States Peace Pilgrim dedicates life to walking By BARB FIELDS Of the Emerald “About 31 years ago the world considered me successful be cause I had money and things, but I looked at my own life and found it empty.” It was this realization which 15 years ago started Peace Pil grim on her 25,000 mile walk for peace throughout the United States. The fiery-eyed woman is walk ing “without any visible means of support,” to bring her mes sage of love and peace to all the people in the United States. She depends upon her fellow Americans for food and shelter, owning only those things which she carries with her.

"We human beings lump to gether all of the things in the universe which are beyond the capacity of all of us collectively. Some people call these things nature, others call them God.’’ She also has an answer to a lot of contemporary problems. On the one hand she seems like an impervious wall of goodness, plugged in, as she says, only to the cosmic universe and a high er order of intelligence. Yet at the same time, she sur prises her listener with an amaz ing amount of awareness of the issues, if perhaps not their sig nificance, in our present culture. Peace Pilgrim gave her opin ion on: .To say I love you forever. . .

I have had all these experiences they talk about without drugs and as a result the experience is constant—it remains when the drug is gone. Through drugs, all you get is a glimpse: you are an outsider looking in. PEACE PILGRIM Spirited 1390's debofe fecstyred Two noted Oregon pioneers “of opposite conditions and per suasions . . . but similar eco nomic and political opinions" Jesse Applegate and Cpt. John Ainsworth, conducted a spirit ed exchange of letters during the mid-1800’s which have been re-printed by the University Library. The letters are published in “The Ca41 Number," spring 1969 edition, a semi-annual publica tion of the Library. Among the topics which the pair found in common were economic conditions, railroad schemes, politics and politi cians.

Now to me segregation is in valid ... we must sink or swim together. It is invalid but it is understandable. Violence has already impaired the civil rights movement. Four years ago the civil rights movement was doing very well and there was no violence. Now after riots and violence, there is more race prejudice than there was when I was born. With the violence came fear and what you fear you tend to hate. • Student rebellion: It is a hopeful sign of spiritual awaken ing. Now don’t think I condone violence because I don't . . . vio lence defeats its own purpose. In speaking with students, I can say that violence is an infi nitesimal part of student rebel lion. In general, it is a good re bellion against false values of society—war, materialsim, prej udice. WINGER— ALPERT ASUO PRES. & V.P.
