a shOj* must have Black script
w riters, producers, actors and
technical crew. He says also. Black
special make-up, camera lenses and
lights must he used. Page says many
whites don’t know how to make the
adjustments for Black actors and for
the most part really don't care.
“ Right now I'm doing what 1 want
to do. I feel good about what I'm
doing and I know I ’ m growing at it
everyday. The television and radio
stations here really don't care about
good programming for people. Let
alone Black folks. Why do you think
the stations across the country have
to be monitored and have to report
about th eir a ffirm a tiv e action
programs. I f you're not racist, why
would that even have to be done?
The big play now is over white
temales. They are using them to
replace Black males. You don't see
any Black females on any o f the Por­
tland stations, but in other places
across the country, they are using
Black females to kill two birds with
one stone. Black broadcasters are
going to have to learn how to protect
their own. I feel things are not going
to get better. I think they’ re going to
get much worse. I t ’s time for some
moves to be made here in the city as
well as on a national level.”
George Page in action.
Former President describes nation s problems
By Stephanie L. Michael
" A nation with a multitude o f d if­
fic u ltie s .” T ha t's how form er
president Gerald R. l ord described
the state o f our country.
Ford made that statement before
the press and student body at the
University o f Oregon last week in
Eugene. The former president’ s visit
was sponsored by the American En­
terprise In stitu te in W ashington,
DC.
Ford commented since leaving the
White House 30 months ago he has
had an opportunity to travel abroad
and around the U.S. extensively. He
says his status as a non candidate in
the next political election gives him
the rel^onsibility to act as an obser­
ver. The former president says he
still secs some o f the problems he was
laced with plagueing the Carter ad­
ministration.
‘ ‘The economy is far from stable.
In fla tio n is at 13 percent and the
unemployment rate is still at an un­
healthy level. Our nation is facing
slumpflation. We still are in need o f
a viable energy program with a com­
prehensive recommendation in order
for congress to respond. We are also
facing a deteriorating military. Right
now our country is equal with the
U.S.S.R. in strategic weapons, but
we are lar behind them in conven­
tional forces.”
Ford claims President Carter’s cut
back on the military has placed the
U.S. in a position where he would
not agree to the signing o f the Salt 11
agreement. Ford says when more
money is allocated back into the
military to beef up conventional fo r­
ces, and the U.S. m ilitary is built up
to the highest level excepted by Salt
standards, then he would agree the
Carter administration should sign.
C oncerning the issue o f re­
establishing the draft. Ford stated he
is against such a move.
" I am one o f the original sup­
porters o f the volunteer army. I fully
supported the concept when I was in
the congress and supported it as
president. I feel the draft in peace
time is unjust and inoperable. I firm ­
ly believe that if the m ilitary takes
leadership and shows the strength
they have, they could get the needed
met,.
“ The training cost in dollars and
manpower is horrendous through the
selective service process. The volun­
teer arm y’ s training period with a
committment o f 3 to 4 years in a unit
is a much better operation. I have
never understood why top m ilitary
people never understood the con­
cept. I think the m ilitary should give
whole hearted support to the idea
during peace tim e."
Addressing the energy question.
Ford said there is no question that
conservation is a good way to meet
energy independence in this country.
He said, “ We must reduce the rate o f
growth in energy use in our nation. If
I had convinced congress and the
people when I was president, we
would certaintly be better o ff today.
We are not doing as well as we
should individually and collectively.
Do we do enough daily in the matter
o f conserving energy. I don’ t think
we do.”
Looking at a gammet o f in te r­
national issues, form er president
Ford said the strength ot the country
at home and abroad needs to be in­
creased to a more capable capacity.
“ The situation with 60 Americans
being held as hostages is one o f the
most serious and p o litic a lly
dangerous crisises this country has
faced in the past 30 years. I am fully
supportive o f whatever President
Carter decides is in the best interest
ot those hostages and this country,
concerning the issue. I f he should
feel military action is the wav to free
the hostages, then I agree."
I think the president in his own
judgement feels the Shah should be
treated as a war crim inal. H is to ri­
cally we have accepted those who
have tied their respective country. It
has been a long standing tradition o f
this country in such practices. It is
unique in this particular case. The

Shah came soley and exclusively to
the U.S. because o f a health
problem. He has already had one
operation and at this point, it has
been indicated that the cancer may
be more serious than suspected in the
beginning.”
W hen asked about candidates now
presenting themselves for the next
presidential
election,
form er
president Ford stated the 1980 elec­
tion was going to be a great one. He
strongly urged students to be a par­
ticipant and an activist in the system.
Discussing the competition between
president C arter and senator Ted
Kennedy, Ford announced that Ken­
nedy would get more o f a fight than
he may be expecting from Carter.
Ford, m istakenly ca lling senator
Kennedy "P re s id e n t Kennedy” ,
remarked that president C arter
would fight the senator during the
election right to the end.
“ I think when the press and people
begin to look at senator Kennedy's
voting record, which is a very liberal
one, his popularity will fall. Senator
Kennedy is a big spender and his
record shows his philosophy is con­
trary to what this nation needs right
now ."
Ford said he would most
definitely not run in the presidential
election unless his party called him to
do so, if a dire emergency situation
arouse.
