The group was scheduled as part of the series “kick off” Sept. 7 but their visit was cancelled due to the United States banning of the Soviet airline Aeroflot. The ban was put on Aeroflot flights to the United States by the U.S. government due to the down ing of Korean Airlines flight 007 on Sept. 1. _ Margaret Charters, library chairperson and originator of the series, is pleased that everything has worked out concerning the Russians’ visit. The original cancellation was not a political result of the Korean airlines incident, but rather it was because all Soviet flights to the United States were stopped, Charters said. “Understanding the Soviets” series has been presented by the Oregon Com mission for the Humanities, but the visiting Soviets are sponsored by the Oregon Council of American/Soviet Friendship. “As far as I know it will be the same people that were supposed to come at the begin ning of the year unless they made some last minute changes,” Charters said. Charters said the lecture will be set up with a panel of 20 Soviets talking about their lifestyle and country. After each speaker is finished, they will field questions from the audience. “The group of visitng speakers each come from a different cross-cut of profes sions, means and livelihood,” Charters said. “It should give a good representation of their lifestyles.” The Soviets’ visit is im portant because it will help stress the theme of the series, Charters said. “The series is named ‘Understanding the Soviets,’ so it is most ap propriate that something like this could be arranged. It just all worked out,” she said. Actually, the final lecture is scheduled for tonight, but since the Soviets will give their presentation Dec. 7, Charters feels that it will fit into the schedule. “Since they are coming on a Wednesday and the lec tures have been each Wednes day, it worked out real well,” Charters said. Charters is hoping that the visit by the Soviets will be accepted with the enthusiasm that the rest of the series has drawn. The average atten dance for the series. Charters estimates is between 75-150, and she is anticipating a large crowd for the finale. “The whole series has been extremely well received and attended,” Charters said. “The response that I have been getting is that people want to see something like this again. Maybe not the same subject, but something like Central America. “The response we have had would indicate that it has been very well received. I guess people just seem to be hungry for, this type of thing,” Charters said.
