Campus peace group formed to battle social ills
By ANA DEL CORRAL Staff Reporter
In the 1960s the KU campus was rife with student activists, but fewer students these days are publicly addressing such issues as the nuclear problem, and the newly formed Campus Coalition for Peace and Justice said yesterday.
James Harder, the president, said students formed the campus group because they wanted an organization similar to the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice that would be active on campus.
Allan Hanson, professor of anthropology and adviser to the campus coalition, said that like-the Lawrence Coalition, the KU group was concerned about issues of peace, social justice and the environment.
"I THINK ONE of the great problems facing the peace movement now is that university students are not charged up
about it," he said. "I don't see them as active as they might be."
He said that tomorrow's premiere of "The Day After," a movie that was filmed in Lawrence after the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust, should show the devastation that would accompany a nuclear war.
Ranson said that he hoped the movie would touch people and awaken them to their realities.
"The danger of nuclear war is not a joke, a fairy tale. It is the reality under attack."
HARDER SAID THE GROUP, which formed last spring, was mainly concerned with making the world a safer place.
place. "Every one in the coalition is concerned with the fate of the Earth," said Harder, "Topeka senior."
The coalition is temporarily focusing on the arms race, he said, and on nuclear weapons in particular. The campus coalition considers nuclear weapons to be the most pressing danger to the environment.
Many students picture the group as "just another anti-nuclear group." Harder said. "We are basically an information group more than a protest group. We want to provide a forum where students can discuss different points of view."
THE COMPLEXITY OF the arms race sometimes discourages students from developing a better understanding of the problem and therefore students need to be supported with tools like the Campus Coalition for Peace and Justice, he said.
Even though students might not become active in the group, members of the campus coalition can increase the number of dangers of a nuclear buildup, he said.
"There is a lot of confusion about what to do about these issues." he said. "The confusion stems from the failures of our programs and part of frustration in not seeing results."
Another group has been formed to take advantage of the attention that the
"The Day After" is expected to create, Hanson said.
THE GROUP, CALLED Let Lawrence Live, is planning a candlight ceremony for Nov. 20, when the movie will be broadcast on ABC-TV. Hanson is general coordinator and treasurer for Let Lawrence Live.
Let Lawrence Live is also sponsoring a Nov. 20 poetry reading intended to give a message about the risks of nuclear weapons involved in producing nuclear weapons.
"We want the citizens to be able to speak their minds in an old-fashioned, democratic way and to be able to discuss the problem," he said.
The group will conduct an open forum on Nov. 21 to which Gov. John Carlin, Lawrence mayor David Longhurst and others have invited. The groups have been invited. Hanson said.
Let Lawrence Live will meet at 7:30 tonight in Canterbury House, 1116 Louisiana St., to discuss future activities. The meeting will be open to the public.

Civilians in Lebanon receive $2.1 million in U.N. food aid
By United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — The United Nations has spent $2.1 million on emergency food rations for Leba nese civilians who were displaced during three weeks of the civil war. N. representative said yesterday.
Ikbal Akhawed, the representative, said that an appeal by U.N. Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar for $10 million had been answered by four U.N. agencies, which contributed about $3 million worth of money and other aid. The government also donated $475,000.
He said that only refugees at group centers had received aid, not those staying with relatives or friends.
"At the request of the Lebanese government, we projected the needs of 150,000 people over a period of six weeks, and we have been able to meet basic needs," Akhwend said.
He said $390,000 had been spent on providing sanitary drinking water to refugees and $400,000 more would be used to install generators to re supply villages in the flood with water.
THE MONEY WILL BE USED to rebuild or repair homes in such areas as the Shoal Mountains which have been the scene of several bombings. A skilled aid will replace direct food and as the predominant form of help.
He said the organization needed more money to do its job well.
Akhawed said that providing housing was the government's first priority since winter is approaching. The government will not be able to return to their homes.

"We have already spent half of the $4 3 million the fund on an emergency food aid, and much of the rest is committed," he said.
He said the fund and the U.N. High Commission for Refugees had distributed four rice earned tools, 100 beds, 250 beds and 3,000 families in greater Bertrut
