POST—J I Peters named to council ( Sandy Union High School Superintendent Jack FVters has been appointed to the Oregon governor’s steering com m ittee on the han dicapped in ceremonies at the capitol on Feb. 12. Gov. Vic Atiyeh swore in 38 people he appointed to the committee. UNPATRIOTIC, w asteful .. m fla t / onam ' Combining the functions of the fo rm e r governor’s steering com m ittee and Engineers organize P F O IS T F B ! Engineers are noted for being organized. And they’ll be more so in the fu tu re w ith the organization of the American Association of Engineering Societies, says an Oregon State University professor who heads the sixth largest of the 35 engineering groups that now make up AAES. James Knudsen, who is president of the 47,000- member American Institute of Chemical Engineers, attended the Washington, D.C., meeting earlier this month where the 35 societies — representing nearly a m illion members in a ll — joined together as a federation. The new Am erican Association of Engineering Societies w ill provide a single, strong voice on many issues that are of national s ig n ific a n c e , in c lu d in g energy and environmental problems, Knudsen said. P ie public affairs council of AAES w ill focus on providing c irre n t, correct technical information to the public and to governmental agencies, he said. P ie international affairs council w ill develop c o o p e r a tiv e w o r k in g relatio n s w ith w orld engineering organizations; the engineering a ffa irs HOWARD WILLITS, a former East Comity state representative and longtime anti-war activist, is leading a one- m an picket line against reinstatement of draft registration. Wffllts picketed In front of M t Hood Community College Wednesday and has protested on other Portiand-area campuses. One-man picket line protests draft, war You may have seen him pacing the Mt Hood Com munity College campus Wednesday. A 77-year-old man in a long tweed coat and fedora, holding an anti war placard high while the Royal Lichtenstein Circus gave a noon performance nearby. Howard D. W illits has picketed for many reasons during a politically active life, he said. But the former East County legislator considers non-violence a special cause. ' War does not settle anything,” he said. “ It just kills a lot of people ” When President Carter called for reinstatement of draft registration recently. W illits took to the streets with a hand-lettered sign: “ Don’t register for the d ra ft Don’t k ill for oil. To k ill is wrong, un-patriotic, wasteful, inflationary. Don’t register.” “ I agree with you all the way,” said K urt Sickler, a high school student from Hillsboro. Fellow student Randy Schlosser added his support as he shook W illits’ hand. “ I refuse to go, that’s it,” he said. “ I ’m not going to go to Canada, but I ’m not going to go to war.” This week W illits has spent several hours each day at area colleges, including Reed College, Lewis and Clark College and Portland State University. He says he’ll continue to make his peaceful rounds * wherever there are young people,” such as in theater lines and at other schools. W illits thinks war is always unnecessary. And he’s especially worried that Carter w ill involve the country in a conflict with Russia to boost his popularity with voters “ I ’ve been through a number of wars,” said Willits, who was a conscientious objector in World War II. “ But this (would be) a much more serious war because we have nuclear weapons that could wipe civilization clear off the map, annihilate everybody. We could all be dead within an hour.” . W illits doesn’t believe the United States should take action against Russia for its invasion of Afghanistan. “ We have done the same thing,” he said. “ We have gone to war to annex territory. We can’t point a finger of blame at Russia.” During his 12-year term as an East County legislator, W illits protested American involvement in the Viet nam War and championed black and women’s rights — he supports the Equal Rights Amendment. His professions have ranged from banker to YMCA- YWCA secretary to hardware dealer and land manager. One son served in the Army and one grand son is a Marine, but the fam ily is tolerant of each other’s philosophies, he said. The Portland resident estimates that 99 percent of the students he’s talked to agree with his anti-war views. He’s advised them all to w rite “ m illions” of letters to the president. “ I think we’re going to stay out of war, thanks to the students,” he said.

Port offices are located on the 13th floor of the Lloyd Building, 700 NE Multnomah St. The To honor Purdy A board of directors that has representation from all of the individual engineering societies w ill call the signals for the new “ umbrella” organization, Knudsen said. Annual meetings w ill be held every spring, starting this March in South Carolina. “ Engineers feel th e ir responsibilities in national a ffa irs and progress,” Knudsen said. “ About half of all the job offers made to U.S. university graduates this past year were in engineering fields. It is hoped that the combined organization w ill enhance U.S. efforts in such vital areas as development of new energy sources, mass tra n sp o rta tio n advances, housing, etc.” The goal of the petitioners is to obtain 80 to 90 percent of the home owners' signatures The petition w ill be cir culated until the end of F ebruary before being turned into the Clackamas County Com m issioners, according to Dunham.
