For social activists who blemma the passing of the 1960s and tremble at the state of Washington liberalism, the message is clear.
At least that's the advice offered by one Lawrence activist group, the People's Network, in each issue of *The Newspaper*, the People's Newsletter.
"Over the years, the 1960s movement has broken down, become fragmented," Ben Zimmerman, associate professor of social welfare and a Network founder, said recently.
"Network hopes to find ways to keep activists together, to make single-issue groups mutually supportive of each other."
SINCE ITS FOUNDING last March, Network has been enormously successful, Zimmerman said.
"We print and distribute 500 issues every month," he said, "and we've co-sponsored several lectures. All in all, we've been very successful."
According to Zimmerman, Network was formed to provide area
activists with a pool of information and support.
"We're a group of individuals who share a common philosophy and basic goals," he said. "We're all committed though our involvement in various issues, to peace, justice and progressive social change."
Network hopes to devote much of its time over the next year to issues addressed by the段anagen administration's proposed budget slashes. Zimmerman said.
Network's primary function is that of an information sharer, Zimmermann said. Network members, who usually belong to one or more activist groups, meet to trade information and coordinate events.
"We hope to pull Lawrence campus and community activist groups together on what we believe is an important step," he said. "The cutbacks in social programs and the buildup of the military are interrelated. We need to pull together as a community and out how we're going to survive."
Zimmerman said that the next few meetings of Network would probably deal with ways to combat the proposed budget cuts.

Housey, Crawford rewarded with selection in NBA draft
By CHRIS TODD Staff Reporter
While All-Big Eight guard Darmel Valentine was grabbing national headlines during much of last season, the steady improvement of Jayhawk center Art House and forward John Crawford proved to be an important factor in the success of the Jayhawk's no-season play.
As expected, Valentine was chosen early in the draft. He was the 16th player taken overall and the first round pick of the Portland Trailblazers.
Housey, a 6-foot-10-inch center, was taken by the expansion Dallas Mavericks in third round, while the seventh was taken by Philadelphia in the seventh round.
HOUSEY AND CRAFWORD were, however, also rewarded for their late-season improvement.
"Right now," said Housey, "my chances are pretty good going into training camp. I have to be in good camp. They expect that from everybody."
"Most of my basketball is ahead of me," said Housey. "I'm not looking to get into the spotlight right away. I'm more interested in developing my skills so that I can be the player I know I am capable of being."
Housey anchored the team with his improved shooting and rebounding during the Jayhawk's post-season play.
Crawford, who started last season as the Jayhawk's sixth man, but ended up a starter, is looking at his chances with an open mind.
"I only see it one way," said, "you have to be ready to go into camp. At this level, basketball is a business, and camp, you won't even consider you."
JAYHAWK COACH TED OWENS said he was delighted with the drafting of Housew and Crawford.
"They were both very deserving of being drafted," said Owens. "It seems to me all of them are going to fine teams.
"I think the fact that Art was picked by an expansion team will really help his chances, and of course John's going to a fine team in Philadelphia."

KU students respond to reactor bombing
Rv.JJLJA SANDERS
By JULIA SANDERS Staff Reporter
Intense emotional fallout from the recent Israeli bombing of an Iraqi nuclear reactor has resulted in anger among students at Kansas students from both countries.
Dhia Abdulkarim, Baghdad, Iraq, junior, said he was "sad and angry" to hear of last Sunday's attack on the reactor just outside his hometown.
The $275-million French-built Oisirak reactor had been under construction since the mid-70s and was expected to be completed this summer.
charge and asked for a meeting of the U.N.Security Council.
THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT said the reactor was being readied to manufacture nuclear weapons to be used against Israel. Iraq denied this.
Abdulamir, rejected the use of nuclear power in any country and said the squabble the intended use of the Israeli reactor was not important.
"I think the intention was not to make nuclear arms. But that's not the issue. The issue is a country attacking another country and destroying things. It's a real act of aggression." Abdulamir said.
The bombing quickly reversed his once moderate opinion in the Arab-Israeli conflict to a more defensive stance, Abdulamir said.
"What kind of peace do they want? To be a policeman in the Middle East? I don't think this is the kind of peace anyone can accept." he said.
THE ATTACK CAME during a period of increased tensions in the Middle East
because of Israeli objections to the presence of Syrian anti-aircraft missiles in Lebanon. Israel, which has not attacked Iraq since the 1967 Mideast War, has succeeded only in raising his own suspicions and intensifying hostile feelings throughout the Mideast. Abdulmarim said.
"It's not a helpful act at all. If they keep going the way they are now, the problem will never end. It's sad. People need to live, need to develop themselves. Instead, they just fight," he said.
Abdulamir said he feels the Arab-Israeli conflict will continue until the United States takes an unbiased initiative in settling disputes. The United States currently backs Israel with economic and military aid.
and be as discreet as possible in their judgement. This (the U.S.) is a country of freedom and wants to help other countries be the same." Abdulamair said.
Unlike Abdulamir, an Israeli couple, supporting the opposition Labor Party, were genuinely shocked to hear of the attack.
However, Shimozore Zecvow, Rechovot, Israel, graduate student and his wife Hagar, Kibbutz Ma'abaron, Israel, graduate student, both support their government's decision to bomb the embassy, if the attack was for the right reason.
"It's for the people of the United States to listen to two sides of the story
THE DECISION BY ISRAEL'S Prime Minister Menachem Begin to attack came nearly three weeks before the president decided to decide the chief official's political fate.

"People were trying to relate it to the elections," Shloma Erez said. "It's possible, but according to Israeli details it was not. If it is true that they were using the reactor for A-bombs, I think it was the right time."

He also pointed out Iran's attempt to destroy the reactor last September during the Iranian-Iraqi war for the same reasons as Israel.
"Begin said we're not going to apologize, but we don't need to be left all alone in the world with nobody defending us," she said.
ABDULAMIR STRESSED the necessity of American interest in the Palestinian cause, as well as Israel's, to smooth relations in the Mideast.
Both Abdulamir and the Erezes agree that there is a need for a Palestinian state, and a necessity to talk and to listen.
"I willring to talk to them and say,
"Sure, we recognize you," but they need to recognize us too, it's not only one said." Harar Ezrew added.
Hagar Ere expressed her concern for the repercussions the bombing may creat during U.S. presidential envoy Habb's peace mission to Israel.
"Basically, we two feel there should be a Palestinian state. We see the right." Shlomo Erez said.
"They want to have the right to exist and nobody listens to them, Abdulamir said. "There is a Palestine."
"They were afraid for the same reason Israel was afraid," he said. "Unfortunately, they did not do a good job. Israel just completed it."
