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."
