Ashlanders March
For Peace
Cindy Krumdieck
In today's changing world, one can read of war, riots, peace
marches, and demonstrations. However, all these incidents are
usually far from Ashland.
Yet, are they really?
Just the other day about noon, driving down Siskiyou Boulevard
past the college campus, one's eyes could catch a rather shocking
sight. On the lawn at Southern Oregon College, a large group of
students were standing in a circle with their arms linked.
There was a bearded gentleman in the center with a bullhorn
pleading with the crowd. He was pleading for peace. Songs and
hymns for peace were being hummed or sung within the crowd.
The effect was rather startling. For here on the SOC campus,
Ashland, Oregon, your and my city was a real live protest
movement.
The students in the circle were mourning the deaths of the four
students killed at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, May 4, 1970.
The four students had been slain, and ten others critically
wounded in a three-second volley from the rifles of National
Guardsmen. The guardsmen were retreating under a barrage of rocks
thrown by the demonstrators. They were protesting against
President Nixon sending U.S. troops into Cambodia.
Because of the disgust and disapproval felt, SOC students
boycotted classes and demonstrated their grief.
One difference, however, between SOC's demonstration and Kent
State's was that SOC was peaceful, KSU's fatal.
At 7:30 p.m. the same day, May 5, SOC students marched down
Siskiyou Boulevard chanting, and carrying candles. Their treck began
at the college and terminated at the plaza, downtown.
Once again, the college students felt a need to express their
disapproval of the Kent slayings.

Ashland High School students
have recently witnessed the
cultivation of a new mood at our
fine institution.
F.veryone is looking forward
to the new crop of grass that will
soon be growing in the center of
our school. This will provide
easy access from any one of six
different directions (north,
south, east, west, high and low).
A high administrative official
was recently overheard as saying
that even though the distance
might be a long one, the trip
would be well worth while.
A long line of volunteers to
cut the first six inches of new
grass had been plaguing the
office. Even though there are no
machine powered lawn mowers,
the pushers, for the most part,
are more than happy to donate
their services. Everyone should
be proud of the high spirits
demonstrated by these students.
The only drawback to this
new addition to our school is the
confusion it has caused with the
local narcotics authorities.
According to them, this portion

of the campus will be inciting
students to smoke the grass
during school hours. However,
they promised to bring an end to
this practice before it has time
to begin intensively.
AHS students are not be be
discouraged by such shady
carryings on. Rather they should
look forward to another mind
expanding addition to our
school.

AFS Students
by Connie Bulkley
Tidbits of information about
the vastly different cultures and
lives of students from other
countries were available by
talking to the American Field
Service visitors during AFS day.
According to Kim Luong,
AFS student from South
Vietnam, her country's language
never includes words of more
than two syllables. Miss Luong
said in relation to the
Vietnamese war that people
from the U i. are always asking
her about it. They all want to
know if the South Vietnamese
hate the U.S. and want
Communist domination. She
noted that it wasn't true, as her
family had moved from North
Vietnam to Saigon because of
their fear of Communism.
Emilio Matricciani of Italy
pointed out that the old myth of
Italians pinching girls doesn't
always hold true. He said there
were other ways of flirting
fhich are similar to the
raditional American whistle,
but declined to give further
details.
About schools in Norway
AFS student Mari Hjerman
stated that they were a lot
stricter than American schools.
As well as being stricter, they are
also segregated between girls and
boys, and hence, ' studying
seemed to come a lot more
easily than in the U.S.
Dating policies of other
countries seem to vary from the
ways of the United States as
several students noted.
In particular, Ahmed Bahoul
from Tunisia noted that his
country does not have any
dating. For those of you who
predict that the entire Tunisian
population will be extinct in a
few years, there is marriage in

Tunisia. All such relationships
are prearranged by the parents,
though.
About dating in his country,
Paraguay, Herminio Ruiz says
that all the dates are arranged
with chaperones on hand. He
also noted that since they often
consist of the girl's little brother
or sister the chaperones are not
too hard to get rid of for a
while.
Jose Dianna Da Cruz of Brazil
pointed out an interesting fact
that in his country there is not a
drinking problem. He said it may
be attributed to the fact that his
country has no laws about
drinking or regulations as to age.
Surprisingly Jill Field of
Australia noted that even though
she has always spoken English

At AHS
there was somewhat of a
language barrier when she first
came to the United States. Many
of the words have different
interpretations, which led to
many confusing and
embarrassing moments.
A few differences that she did
note were sweaters or shifts
being called jumpers, cookies
called biscuits, and biscuits
scones.
These AFS students were in
Ashland for a day's activities
which included bowling and a
special dance with the Human
Zoo playing. They stayed in the
homes of Ashland AFS club
members, and returned to their
American "homes" the next
day.
