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

issues that are of national

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.

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

before being
turned into the Clackamas

Schwab said, which is 15
percent of the 274 registered
voters in the area.
The formation of a united
engineering organization has
been talked about for a long
time, according to Knudsen.
“ But it was not until two
years ago that things started
to take shape in the face of
enormous national needs.
