Soviet visitors ‘wrap up’ lectures
Rounding up Clackamas
Community College’s lecture
series, “Understanding the
Soviets: A Path to Peace,”
will be a Dec. 7 visit by 20
Soviet citizens, which was
previously cancelled.
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.
