Soviet Jews- face -oppression
By Chuck Deck
The Soviet government's oppression
of Jews and oiher reiigious groups
should be more to Americans than Just
another part of the world, an American
nun said Friday night at the Tiffereth
Israel Synagogue in Lincoln,
Sister Ann Glllen, the executive
director of the National Interrelialous
Task Force on Soviet Jewry, said in her
travels in the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics (USSR), she learned how
Jews lived under the Soviet regime.
She told a grouo of about 180 persons
that people in Leningrad apartments
share kitchen and dining areas, making
government surveillance easy.
"If one of the families happens to be
Jewish, there may be a member of the
Leningrad police or' KGB (the Soviet
state police) to watch every move made
by the Jewish family," she said.
Glllen talked with a Jewish boy whose
father had been arrested by the KGB at
home. After his father's arrest, the boy
called a western journalist who wrote an
account of the arrest, she said.'
Publicity in the Western press saves
the oppressed, because it puts pressure
on Soviet off iciais, she said.
Consumer Aid Group
Ukrainian Catholics and Lutherans as
well as Jews throunhnut the USSR wan!
to leave, Gillen said, but it is difficult for
members of religious groups to get
emigration visas.
Visa applications cost about $108 for
each application, but a person may earn
only $48 a month, she said- A person
may only apply to leave once in a year,
and there is no standard process for
obtaining a visa.
When a person is refused a visa, he
may either lose his job or be forced to
take a menial job.
Gillen encourages Americans to write
Soviet immigration officials urging that
oppressed groups be allowed to leave
the USSR. One cannot insult -Soviet
officials, however, asking that op
pressed groups be allowed to leave "in
the name of justice," she said.
American college students belonging
to the national organization, Students
for the Struggle for Soviet Jewry, are
writing to Soviet officials, according to
Gillen.
Gillen belongs to the Society of the
Holy Child, has a B.A. in English and an
M.A. in American history.
Recognition, power anticipated
Following a year of disorganization,
the ASUN Consumer Aid Group (CAG)
is aiming at realistic goals public
recognition and consumer education for
the UNL community, Gail Eisenstatt,
director of the group, said Saturday.
CAG was started a year ago by five
interested UNL students to assist other
students as consumers. An office was set
up and manned, Eisenstatt said, but
almost no one came.
Eisenstatt, a UNI senior, said the
group never really got off the ground
fast year., Their mam activity was an
Education Day in March to aid in
identification of fraudulent business
practices.
But she explained that due to a lack of
substantial goals, the group has never
reached the public.
. Down-to-earth goals
This year the consumer group held
an organizational meeting in September
and settled for "down-to-earth'' goals,
Eisenstatt said.
"Being a relatively small, young
group," she said, "we didn't want to
shoot for the moon. First of all, we
want the students to know we are here.".
Subsequent to this public awareness,
she said, the group hopes to familiarize
the UNL community with basic con
sumer problems.
Eisenstatt said although Individuals
should have the power to get action on
their own, they usually don t. If a
consumer wishes to return an item to a
store, for example, and the store doesn't
want to take it back, "it's the
customer's tough luck."
In this instance, she said the
Consumer Aid Group could apply
persistent pressure letters and calls to
the storeThis type of campaign would
be more effective than a lone complaint,
Eisenstatt said.
Power in numbers
-t - "Our power Hies - in -numbers, " she
continued, "aodero.bexshJP.is rising.
According to Eisenstatt some 25 stu
dents have expressed interest in the
group, compared to five students last
year. '
Despite the increase, Eisenstatt said,
the group is abandoning their office and
approaching students with a new
strategy. She said they are considering a
bulletin board in the Student Union to
provide two-way communication be
tween the" group and the student body.
A box would be provided by the board
for consumer suggestions and com
plaints. . "
Eisenstatt said the consumer group
became affiliated with ASUN this
semester and hopes for "a piece of the
budget". They now receive no ASUN
funds.
Membership is open and anyeno
interested may contact the ASUN office.
