Sen. Neuberger Discusses Problem of Encouraging Citizenship Among Youth By SEN. RICHARD NEUBERGER Portland (Special) Look Magazine for Oct. 2 published an article declaring: "A very large number of our young voters plainly don t care one way or another about the coming Pres idential election, or are so con fused that it amounts almost to the same thing." The article was based on a survey among 1,300 students at 24 colleges. I doubt if things are as gloomy as the Look presentation depicts. but I believe emphatically that the next generation of Amer icans must be well prepared for citizenship. As Maurine and I have from time to time reported to readers of "Washington Cal ling." we try to help stimulate Oregon young people's interest in participation in public affairs by appointments of my student interns from Oregon colleges, by sacrificing other Senate patron age so as to have the right to name a Senate page from Ore gon, and by using occasional speaking and writing fees to give scholarships in Oregon col leges to encourage careers in government. Starts Earlier But preparation for citizen ship starts even earlier, at the high-school level In Central Oregon I encountered two high schools, in Bend and Madras, which closed their platforms to political figures as speakers. also encountered two other schools. In Redmond and Crbok County (Prineville), which wel comed a Senator on the rostrum. At both these places, the stu dents asked me questions for nearly an hour intelligent ques tions, searching questions thoughtful questions. Now, let me ask a question of my own how can we best combat apathy and indifference to government among young people by insulating them from government and politics, or by encouraging their particpation? Let us not forget that the na tion where young men and wo men are denied public discus sion of both sides of issues of public policy is Russia let in this country introduce our future voters early to their responsibility of judging for themselves the conflicting points of view presented in the continu ing public debate, which is the essence of our democratic pro cess. Obligation to Future When I talked about conserva tion to the Western Rod & Reel Club in Portland, I was honored with a life membership in this fine organization. On the back of my card is this statement: "I give my pledge as an Amer ican to save and faithfully de fend from waste the natural re sources of my country its soil and minerals, its forests, waters and wildlife." After our experience with Mr. McKay's tenure as Secretary of the Interior, perhaps we should require that all future heads of that great Federal department subscribe to the pledge, of the Western Rod & Reel Club. Perhaps future Sec retaries would recall such a pledge, before surrendering our wildlife refuges for oil drilling, before proposing the flooding of a National Monument or the con struction of dams and reservoirs where they would imperil the elk herds and wilderness sol itudes of the Clearwater Basin, before sanctioning special pro cedures to turn over hundreds of acres of national forest to the Al Sarena mining claimants! Alaska's Daylight Is Confusing to Student Fairbanks U.R) Alaska's 22 hours of summer daylight can be confusing at times, as a summer session student at the University of Alaska discovered. The student ate dinner, then returned to his domitory to take a nap. He slept soundly and when he awoke his watch said it was 7:30. He dressed hurriedly, shaved and rushed to the cafeteria be lieving he'd be just in time for breakfast. The cafeteria had finished serving when he arrived, but the waitress said she would warm up something for the student. "What's on the menu?" he asked. "Turkey," she replied. "Good grief," said the student, "I don't want turkey for breakfast." "This, sir, is not breakfast," the waitress announced. "And unless you have a twin brother, you had your dinner just three hours ago."
