Need Help?
News Briefs
It’s a phone call away
Tualitin valley
by Sherri Michaels
News Editor
Can’t talk to anybody? Need help? There are people that will
listen to you. They are workers on various crises/hotlines that
spend many volunteer hours monitoring phone lines so that people
of all ages can call and talk about their problems. One Metro-
Crisis line worker said that the majority of the calls concern depres
sion, drug od’s, relationships and suicide.
To use a hotline or crises line all you have to do is call. Someone
will answer the phone andannouncewhat line it is; after that all you
need to do is start talking. They will listen to your problems. If
you could focus in to the problem it would help the worker,but
don’t rush it if you don’t feel like it. All calls are confidential.
If you would like to volunteer to work on one of the hotlines
please call; they are always looking for help.

AFSC berates U.S. Iran
The following message was
sent by Stephen G. Cary,
Chairperson of the American
Friends Service Committee, to
President Reagan, Senator Clair-
borne Pell, Chair of the Senate
Foreign Relations Comm., and
Rep. Dante Fascell, Chair of the
House Foreign Affairs Comm.:
Thé American Friends Service
Committee views with deep con
cern the Iranian missile attack on
the U.S. flagged ship and the
U.S. naval bombardment in
retaliation on the Iranian oil rig
in the Gulf.
This show of U.S. military
strength is the latest vain attempt
at a military response to Iranian
provocations in the Gulf conflict.
Such actions win neither defend
human lives nor advance
peacemaking.
Each military action en
courages a spiralling escalation of
violence in the name of national
prestige. The political appetite for
revenge promises increasing hard
ship and suffering for the peoples
in the Gulf region. The stakes
become ever higher as our nation
pursues actions that have no
achievable policy objectives.
The U.S. public and their
government must muster the
courage to renounce revenge and
restore national honor through
stopping the spiral of conflict and
turning our resources and atten
tion to the arduous diplomatic
task of peacemaking.
Only
international,
multilateral peacemaking and
security arrangements can save
our nation and the people of the
Middle East from further
catastrophe in this war.
We call on Congress to insist
that the American public can
engage in thoughtful debate on
appropriate and achievable
U.S. policy goals in the Gulf.
We call on the American public
to press for nOn-military
peacemaking remedies. We ap
peal to the governments of Iran
and Iraq to accept a U.N.
facilitated cease fire and subse
quent negotiations.
