Youth, Student Committee Reviews Role in Community Life

Call for More Activity on Local Level, Aid for Executive Board

NEW YORK, N. Y.—Five panelists representing as many Ukrainian youth and student organizations, reviewed the role younger generation Ukrainian Americans play in the community life and stressed the need for more activity on the local level and more aid from the UCCA executive board. These ideas were voiced at the youth and student working committee session which was held in an abbreviated session during the Xllth Congress of Americans of Ukrain­ Bohdan Fedorak addresses the Congress. ian Descent here Saturday, October 9.

And in my opinion that is what happened to the President. He is for the freedom of all nations and the freedom of all people, including Ukrainian. He is your friend and I know it. I worked with him for two years. He is a man who believes as "I Wish You Well deeply in those values on which this country was founded and which you, and your parents and your grandparents and my parents, grandparents and all who came to this country freedom and opportunity - to escape oppression, to have religious freedom and opportunity And Ask Your Support" to raise their families.

I tell you tonight that President Ford does not understand those goals. More in sorrow than in anger, I say it is incredible and disgraceful that after 25 years in Congress, and two years as president, Mr. Ford would come before the American people and state for all the world to hear that "there is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe. In 1975, Henry Kissinger and President Ford traveled to Helsinki to sign the treaty of STATEMENT comprehensive security and cooperation in Europe, the "Helsinki A ccord." It was supposed to lead to greater personal freedom for the people of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. Instead, conditions have worsened while Mr. Ford and Mr. Kissinger have looked the other Of The Xllth Congress of Americans Of ""The list of Soviet abuses of basic human rights is long.

Rev. Michael Bourdeaux, director of the world famous institute, told of the college's plans during talks with Svoboda editors Monday, October 11. "I think that Ukraine is the most impor­ tant area in Eastern Europe. People are not sufficiently aware that Ukraine is Ukraine. Many think it is the Soviet Union or Russia," explained Rev. Bourdeaux. "Churches in Ukraine should receive more attention then they do." In conjunction with their plans for next year. Rev.

Tysonsky WASHINGTON, D.C.—The latest add­ ition to the field of modern Ukrainian music is the Washington sound of the "Namysto" sextet. The four-year-old vocal ensemble, based in the nation's capital, has just released its first record album with 12 numbers, includ­ ing such favorites as "Chervona Ruta," "Vodohray," Oy Harna" and "Koniu Syve- senkyi," as well as some less familiar songs such as "Zabludylys' Vitry," "Kolo Tvoho Dvoru" and a perfectly delightful medley of folk ballads, "Perelaz." Two things distinguish the "Namysto Sings" album: all the songs on it are done in new musical arrangements and they are recorded using all the facilities of a fully- equipped studio. "Namysto" was formed in Washington in 1972 by Petro Krul, the group's musical director and arranger. It comprises Ulana Sos and Yulya Lomacky, first sopranos; Sonia Krul and Oksana Lew, second sopra­ nos; Halyna Maksymjuk, first alto, and Vera Pylypec, second alto.
