Mr.Felluss, who believes in "excellence.../and/ democratic aesthetics" in art,granted the Ukrainian exhibit a verylarge and centrally located space at thefairgrounds and in the 1MFAD catalogfree of charge.The non-conformist artists, whoseworks are banned from the statesanctionedgalleries in the USSR,received wide exposure, and their workswere received with great interest andcompliments by both the general publicand art dealers.Tens of thousands of visitors passedthrough the fair and the Ukrainianexhibit, which was manned by localUkrainian Washingtonians TamaraSielecka and Anya Starosolska.The exhibit consisted of 23 paintingsand drawings from private collectionsand a continuous showing of 450 colorslides representing the original compositionof the exhibit.Artists whose works were displayedwere Anton, Antoniuk, Basanets,Khrushch, Haiduk, Heta, Hrytsiuk,Humeniuk, Makarenko, Makoiev,Marchuk, Maryniuk, Naumets, Onufriev,Rakhmanyn, Sazonov, Shapvalenko,Strelnikov, Sychov, Tsiupko,Voloshyn and Yastrub.The materials for the exhibit weresupplied by Myroslawa Ciszkewycz ofAustin, Tex. Many viewers, includingdealers and art historians, expressedregret that none of the pieces on displaywere for sale, as all of the items hadalready been sold.In the Soviet Union, these works,which were individually smuggled outof the USSR, would have rarely beenseen by other than closed circles of theartists' friends. Artists who fail toconform to the officially sanctionedstrictures of socialist realism are subjectto strict censorship.The Ukrainian non-conformists dissent,not only in technique, but also insubject matter; they rediscover Ukainianculture in the marriage of Ukrainianelements with the innovations of hisWestern artist-counterparts.

Kazaniwskyj,coordinator of Project Senior EthnicFind of the Illinois Department onAging, recently urged all ethnic groupsin America to petition their representativesin Congress to support a proposedamendment to the Older Americans Actof 1965.Citing the need for bilingual workersto address the unsolved problems ofethnic seniors who are often unaware ofmany available programs or are unableto comprehend the application ofgovernment regulations, Mr. Kazaniwskyjstressed the need for a unitedcampaign to ensure the bill's passagebefore the October 3 deadline.The Bill (H.R. 6150), introduced inDecember 1979 by Rep.

6 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JUNE 1, 1980 No. ITHE І СВОБОДА4,SVOBODA I IUkroTnTon WeeklyA telling visitThe visit by the U.S. vice president to a household is not a daily occurrence,the exigencies of political life in an election year notwithstanding. Even in aneffort to get votes, the timing and the selection of sites for public appearancesfs a matter of high scrutiny.It is in this light that we must view the recent visit of Vice PresidentMondale to the Smorodsky home in Rutherford, N.J. For our community inthis country it was a historic first, a kind of recognition that should be viewedas a starting point rather than a culmination, considering our rather meagerinvolvement in the country's political process.To be sure, cynics — or overly zealous political opponents — can poohpoohthe visit and dismiss it as a pure political ploy along the lines of thepopular saying that politicians will do anything to get votes. Perhaps so. ButMr. Mondale is not only a politician — and, we feel, there is nothing wrongwith that — he is the vice president of the United States. And it is in thiscontext that we opt to view his sojourn to the Smorodsky home.Moreover, it is a timely signal to us that we should finally wake up to therealities of American politics, as our kin in Canada have done a long time agowith salutary benefits for them and for the country of their settlement. Withall due respect to the hard core of our political activists in individualcommunities, we tend to make a last-minute show a few weeks before theelections at a high price for political ads in our own newspapers and a few "metoo" photos which are viewed for what they are by the candidates as well asour community. Political activism is a laborious, at times painful and costly,process, with the input often disappointingly less than the outcome. But it isworth trying, considering the interests of our community and its salutarymission vis-a-vis our people in Ukraine.Mr. Mondale's visit should be a cue for a stronger, more intense and morepronounced activism on our part in both political parties. And the sooner, thebetter.Community wealthUkrainian community activists have often commented on the fact thatmany young Ukrainians seem to drop out of the Ukrainian community for acertain period of their lives. This is understandable, of course, since, moreoften than not, this is the time when they are completing their universitystudies and are beginning to think of establishing careers and making it in the"real world."What is troubling, though, is that many of these young adults never resumetheir activity in the Ukrainian community, having lost touch to such a degreethat it is difficult to return. And gone with them are their talents which nodoubt would have greatly enriched the Ukrainian community.This need not be the case, however. There is a means of keeping these youngadults within the Ukrainian community, i.e. offering them something theysorely need during this difficult period in their lives. This means may be foundin the many professional societies which exist within the Ukrainiancommunity — the Ukrainian American Bar Association, the associations ofUkrainian journalists in the United States and Canada, the UkrainianMedical Association of North America and the professional businessmen'sclubs in Canada, to name just a few.Young adults fresh out of college or graduate school are the perfectcandidates for membership in our professional societies since the careerguidance and professional contacts these societies could provide areinvaluable. And, the societies need the new grads — to replenish their ranksand provide a new outlook — as much as the grads need them.By recruiting young adults as soon as they complete their studies (or evenwhile they're, say, in their senior уеаґіп college by enrolling them in studentsections of professional clubs), professional societies can guarantee not onlytheir own existence, but the continuity of Ukrainian community life as well.By joining a Ukrainian professional society, the young adults will maintaincontact with the Ukrainian community and increase their awareness ofUkrainian affairs; and they are more likely to become involved or reinvolvedin other Ukrainian organizations.Thus, they will become valuable assets for the rest of the Ukrainiancommunity, since it is the informed community members who can do most tohelp their people.News and viewsCarter: a second opinionby G. Bohdan ZachariahGiven the defensive tenor of hisapologia for the Carter administration,Dr. Wytwycky deserves a measure ofpraise for his eloquence in comparisonto the steady doggerel emanating fromthe administration he has chosen topraise.

At a time when the UnitedStates faces acute domestic and internationalchallenges to its primacy, all threemajor candidates show an alarmingdearth of political acumen and littlecapacity for grasping the geopoliticalmachinations that threaten .to disruptthe remaining tatters of internationalstability. As chief executive. PresidentCarter is naturally the most culpableand has proven himself most maladroitat understanding and managing thecomplex and crucial problems facingthis nation. As an on-the-job traineewith no previous federal experience,Mr. Carter was mandated to a job hewas simply underrequipped to handle,and his continued trial-and-error approachto managing the affairs of statehave had a pernicious effect on America'seconomy, morale and internationalstature.In his article. Dr. Wytwycky observesthat "no president has ever managed toavoid all mistakes." But a scrutiny ofPresident Carter's record soon revealsjust how few mistakes he has managedto avoid.It would serve little purpose to bandyabout the problematic starting point ofthe inflation spiral. Dr. Wytwyckyattempts to correlate today's inflationwith the fall-out from Lyndon Johnson'smonetarist approach to economicsduring the Vietnam conflict. Yet,even if we accept this rather factitiousline of reasoning, the fact remains thatdespite LBJ's shortsighted tendency toprint more money without compensativetaxation, despite the perceptibleescalation in oil prices following the1973 oil embargo, inflation in 1976hovered at a tractable 5 percent. In lessthan a full term, the Carter administrationhas transmuted that legacy intoa figure which approaches 20 percent.The stock-market, corrected for inflation,is hobbling along at mid-Depressionlevels, housing starts are at astandstill, American steel companiesare seeking federal protection, the autoindustry is in a shambles and the U.S.trade deficit in March hit S5 billion, anall-time record. The recession is nolonger'a nascent possibility; it is a harshreality.Granted, this economic chaos is notexclusively the president's doing, butconceding that the astronomical jumpin oil prices has helped fuel inflation, itis equally irresponsible to place theblame on consumer gluttony or arecalcitrant Congress. Public consumptionof gasoline is down 10 percent, andcongressional reluctance to pass an unmodifiedwindfall-profits tax was due inlarge measure to the realization that, a50 percent tax on newly discovered oilwould be disproportionately adverse tosmall independent companies that do 85percent of our domestic explorationand leave virtually unscathed the oilconglomerates that would prefer diversificationto suddently unprofitableinvestments in costly new drillingoperations. Despite consumer belttightening,prices have not stabilized. Itis also important to note that Germanyand Japan, which depend exclusively onimports of foreign oil, have inflationrates far below that of the United States.Mr. Carter's "moral equivalent ofwar" has emerged as nothing more thana sententious slogan. Under his administration,the Energy Departmentbecame such a cumbersome and inefficientboondoggle, that Secretary Schlesingerwas compelled to resign. The factthat promised synfuel projects andalternate energy sources failed to materializeis indicative of the president'sinability to effectively wort-with-apartisan Democratic Congress, ratherthan a confirmation of the frugality ofthe legislature.Although Mr. Carter has adopted afiscal rather than monetary view of theeconomy by presiding over the twolargest tax increases in history -Social Security and oil, totaling aboutS5 trillion - inflation contines unabated.Lastly, Dr. Wytwycky cites "creditcontrols (and) fiscal responsibility" assensible approaches to combat inflation.But while consumer credit hasbeen sharply curtailed, the federalgovernment plans to make SI62 billionof new loan guarantees in 1981 regardlessof whether the federal budget isbalanced. The result is a budget thatonly appears balanced, but actually is42 percent larger than it looks. This fact,in conjunction with a bloated andexpanding bureaucracy and the creationof the redundant Education Departmentamong other things, directlycontradicts candidate Carter's initialcampaign promise to reduce the size ofgovernment. Clearly, on the economicfront, Mr. Carter's lack of leadershipand fiscal savvy have helped transform(Continued on page 15)News quizThe quiz covers the previous two issues of The Ukrainian Weekly.

No. 1 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JUNE 1, 1980 7Fraternal cornerTechniques of leadershipby Nick A. MorrisThe article below appeared previouslyin the Fraternal Monitor. It is basedon a talk given by Nick A. Morris,president of the Slavonic BenevolentOrder of the State of Texas, at apresidents section seminar of the NationalFraternal Congress of America.The most difficult area in any fraternalsociety, large or small, is leadershipon the local lodge level. Whatevertraining is given to people on the locallevel, according to my experience, mustcome from the top — from the homeoffice, from the people at the head of theorganization, physically and personally.It is well and in order to delegateresponsibility to surrogates, but theinitial breakthrough in leadershiptraining must come from the top leaders.Since the lodge leadership is electedby local members, the home office haslittle or no control over the selection oflocal leaders, and it is no doubt best thatit remain so in democratically structuredorganizations. The best we canattempt to do is to train them after theyget elected.Sooner or later, the personal andphysical involvement of the people atthe head of the society is a must, if thatsociety is to have 1 a corps of competentlocal lodge leadership. There is nosubstitute for the presence of officersfrom the home office when it comes topromoting and building that leadership.Few solutions can be achieved withsociety heads reposing in. comfortable;offices, writing letters and issuingdirectives. This system is antiquatedand just does not work with people;members of a fraternal society like tosee their leaders from time to time. Thetime has come for the "generals" to getout in the\front line with the "troops,"and become personally involved.Person makes the officeThe late President Truman once said,after choosing not to run for re-election,that his successor would soon find outthat he could not run the country fromhis office by pushing a panel of buttons,summoning his subordinates and issuingthem orders. I'm sure he had alreadylearned that there was no particularmagic to the office. It there is any magicin any office, it has to be developed bythe man holding it; the person makesthe office and not the other wayaround. Having the title and the authorityis meaningless; it is what you dowith the title and the authority thatmakes your office an effective positionand causes things to happen, affectingleadership on the local lodge level.The local lodge system is the statutorybasis for the exemption of fraternalbenefit societies from federal incometax, as Robert Walton pointed out in hisrecent article in the Fraternal Monitor,recent article in the Fraternal Monitor.In fact, the organizational structure of afraternal benefit society is at the heart ofthat society's existence. Therefore, it behoovesus as leaders to do everything wecan to strengthen and improve the lodgesystem and refrain from doing anythingthat might weaken, erode or destroy it.If this feature is allowed to wither anddie, one of the principal reasons for ourexempt status will be gone, and we willbe a step closer to total regulation andultimately taxation.Since the lodge system is vital to ourvery existence, it follows that its leadershipmust be nurtured, cultivated andimproved. It is not always convenient tobreak away from our routines to attendchapter or lodge meetings, but we reallyhave no choice. We must remind ourselvesthat if the lodge system deteriorates,we presidents won't have anythingto be president of.Areas of weaknessI would like to pass on some of thepoints that we stress to local presidentsand vice presidents in our regionalworkshops, points that we feel are areasof weakness in the leadership of locallodges and could contribute to theweakening of the lodge system:1) The lodge meetings are startedlater than the announced time.2) The meetings are poorly conducted;the president or chairman does notknow enough about parliamentaryprocedure; no agenda; inadequateinformation is passed to members; nocommittees; no preparation.3) The meetings last too long; onehour should be adequate if properlyplanned and conducted. .4) The members often cannot hearthe proceeding because the presidingofficer mumbles to those nearest him.5) Many lodge meetings have nothingplanned beyond the collection ofdues and routine business, and this has adevastating effect on attendance.6) Only the officers and a handful ofmembers show up, indicative of poorleadership, lack of interest and poorplanning.7) There is hostility and resentmentby some of the older officers towardyounger members. This is probably thebiggest contributing factor to the declineof the local lodge system and poor'attendance at meetings. It is not afraternal attitude. There has to be afusion of the seasoned and experiencedwith the energy and enthusiasm of theyoung.8) In many of the lodges there are noyouth clubs or activities for the youngerset. What is there to make them want toattend a lodge meeting in this jetatomic,outer space, computer age, 20thcentury America? Planning should bedone with young people in mind.9) New members are not given anyassignments or responsibilities. The"same old few" are put on committeesand given responsible positions, and thenew members are treated like "foreigners."Yet we say, "We welcome youinto our lodge," after actively solicitingthem as members. I sometimes wonderif we really mean tha^t.10) The president and vice presidentfrequently assign people to jobs andthen involve themselves to such a degreethat they end up doing the work themselves,after discouraging the peoplewho were'supposed to do it in the firstplace. Of course this is wrong; if youdelegate a job to somebody, for heaven'ssake, let them do it!Workshops are effectiveThere is another point I would like tomake about local lodge leadership. Wehave come to the conclusion that one ofthe best means of building leadershipand strengthening the lodge system isthe local or regional workshop, whereofficers are instructed by personnelfrom the home office.A good thing to remember is not to letthe sessions get bogged down withextraneous, trivial and insignificantmatters and discussions. The purpose ofthe workshops is to disseminate informationand give instructions, so that theofficers can do a better job of servicingthe needs of the membership. Theworkshops also afford an exchange ofinformation, ideas and problems ofmutual concern between the homeoffice and the local lodges. Sometimes"sticky" administrative problems can beaddressed in these conferences, somethingthat is often difficult to dothrough correspondence or telephonecalls.Now let me turn the discussion toleadership at the state or home officelevel. In my society, we have a conventionevery four years, and the executiveofficers and directors are elected bydelegates to the convention, as I am sureis the case in many other societies(although the frequency of conventionsvaries from society to society). This isgood because people running for thevarious positions are subjected toexamination by the membership atlarge through their delegates. Theycome under scrutiny of the membershipjust as members of state legislature andthe U.S. Congress are judged on theirachievements.However, this procedure is also onethat affords, the possibility of electingthe "political type." We can only hopethat the membership in any society withsuch a system is sufficiently enlightenedto make a sound, intelligent and wisejudgment in selecting its leaders. Ithink that for the most part fraternalbenefit societies have been fortunate inelecting good men to leadership positions.Another method of choosing qualifiedpersons for executive positions is inthose societies where the board ofdirectors (sometimes known by othernames such as executive council,grand council, etc.) votes on andappoints the top officers in the organization.In some instances it appoints allof them — including the president. Thisprocedure ensures, to a great extent, theappointment of those with the properqualifications and credentials.There are generally two sources offilling mid-management positions, suchas director of sales, director of training,director of fraternal activities, comptrollerand others. One is the promotionof people within the ranks, and theother is the hiring of people from theoutside. In the case of promoting fromwithin, there is no problem regardingqualifications and performance. Whenhiring from the outside, the time-provendevice of a resume is still one of the bestmeans of screening qualified people.Insist that the resume be as complete aspossible and reflect exactly how theperson's qualifications will be moldedinto the position applied for.Must be good listenersAnother point should be made that,on both the home office and lodgelevels, the officers should be people wholisten and advance solutions to problems.The membership expects thisand rightfully so. One of the highestcompliments that we in the home officescan receive is for an officer or delegationof lodge officers to come to usseeking advice and a solution to theirproblems. I f we are successful in helping(Continued on page II)Letters to the editorUkrainian congressman neededDear EditorIt is a well-known fact that we do nothave a Ukrainian representative in theHouse of Representatives or the Senate.In view of the fact that we pay local,state and federal taxes, we can safely saythat we have taxation without representation,We serve with distinction inthe armed forces, police and fire departments.We perform various duties tomake our communities better places tolive in. and we raise our children to beassets to our communities. We are verygood citizens, but we fail ourselves andour children by being indifferent todecision-making policies that affect ourdaily lives and our future. Representativeswho know absolutely nothingabout Ukrainians make the decisionsfor us. We might as well be a nonexistententity. It is time for us to berepresented and to have a spokesmanwho will take interest in our needs andaspirations.When Stephen Bunda decided to seeka congressional seat he received my fullsupport. He is a Ukrainian - young,energetic, straight-forward and a manof character who is not afraid to face theMore votes for CarterDear Editor:We, the undersigned, would like tolend our support to Dr. BohdanWytwycky's article, "A Vote for PresidentCarter," published in The UkrainianWeekly's May 18 edition. Findinghis arguments substantive and valid, wetoo urge our fellow Ukrainians living inNew Jersey to express their confidencein Carter's presidency by casting theirvote on his behalf in the presidentialprimary on June 3. We believe thatPresident Carter has performed resolutelyand forthrightly in all major areasof our domestic and foreign affairs, inspite of their increased complexity.As Ukrainian Americans, we have anadded reason to urge all Ukrainians toissues and speak out in our behalf. Noone is more qualified to represent us inthe halls of Congress than StephenBunda."Ukrainians are the orphans of theworld. Everyone tries to exploit themand no one is willing to speak in theirbehalf," states Mr. Bunda. If you sharehis sentiments, then please help himgain a seat in" Congress. The bestinvestment we can make for our futureis to have a Ukrainian congressman.Elections are influenced by the publicitya candidate generates. To generatepublicity the candidate must havesubstantial funds. Do not let thisopportunity slip by. To be a goodcitizen of Ukrainian origin is notenough. We must be strong, aggressive,united and above all we must supportour own. Please help put StephenBunda in Congress.

THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JUNE I, 1980 No. IHighlights of Ukrainian life in Saskatoonby Helen Perozak SmindakSaskatoon, Sask.Saskatoon. It's known as the hub cityof western Canada, the transportationhub of the agriculturally rich prairies.Located on the banks of the beautifulSaskatchewan River, Saskatoon hasgrown from its early boom-and-bustdays to a city of spacious parks andunspoiled river banks, a city that blendsthe old with the new — from the oldestschoolhouse in the province to thedynamic new Midtown Plaza.There's the Western DevelopmentMuseum, which boasts the longestpioneer street in North America, completewith antique cars, buggies andearly farm machinery. There's theCentennial Auditorium, home of livetheatre, of music from opera to countryand western, of dance from ballet toUkrainian folk. There's the Universityof Saskatchewan, internationally famousfor its health sciences faculties?where the first department of Slavicstudies was founded in 1948 withAndrusy-Ukrainian Canadian C.H.shen as the director.The name Saskatoon comes from theSaskatoon berry bush (similar to theblueberry plant) which abounds in thearea; it might well be an Indian word.So says the librarian at the CanadianConsulate in New York, but for UkrainianCanadians, Saskatoon is synonymouswith many firsts.The Ukrainian Self-Reliance Associationof Canada was founded there in1927, the Ukrainian Catholic Brotherhoodof Canada and the UkrainianNational Federation of Canada in 1932,and the Ukrainian Arts and CraftsMuseum (now the Ukrainian Museumof Canada) in 1936.John Hnatyshyn of Saskatoon wasappointed to the Canadian Senate bythe late Canadian prime minister, JohnG. Diefenbaker, and served there from1959 to 1963.Ukrainians have for many decadescomprised almost 10 percent of Saskatoon'spopulation of some 145,000citizens, according to Zenon Pohorecky,president of the SaskatchewanProvincial Council of the UkrainianCanadian Committee. The provincialcoordinating body was founded in 1971— in Saskatoon.Most Ukrainian Saskatonians (justone "o," please) are descended from the100,000 pioneers who settled the provincesof Manitoba, Saskatchewan andAlberta between 1895 and 1914 afteremigrating to Canada from Galicia andBukovyna, then part of the Austro-Hungarian empire.ФФФAs my Air Canada jet headed northweston May 7 from Winnipeg towardSaskatoon and the Vesna Festival, Ilooked down on a patchwork quilt ofdark and lighter-colored squares, rectanglesand triangles, bisected and crisscrossedby railway lines and windingstreams — a flat, endless patchworkquilt that appeared to be corduroytextured,the result of furrows createdby spring plowing and planting. Thesetting sun was reflected in the myriadlakes which dot the landscape. Burgeoningin the rich prairie soil in manyof those fields below was the seed of thevery first Ukrainian immigrant toCanada — Marquis wheat, a hybrid ofhardy Ukrainian spring wheat fromPodillia and Galicia that matures 10days earlier than other types of wheat,making it ideal for the short Canadiangrowing season.Ask almost any Saskatonian ofUkrainian descent and he'll tell you thestory about the wheat that changed theeconomy of Canada. David Fife, afarmer who lived near Peterborough,Ont., obtained a sample from a Danzigship that was unloading wheat fromUkraine at Glasgow in Scotland. Heintroduced Red Fife to Canada, and by1928 about 85 percent of all springwheat was a hybrid of the Ukrainianimmigrant "Red Fife," so-calledbecause of its color and its discoverer.ttt `Saskatoon is the home of the UkrainianMuseum of Canada, which wasscheduled to open its new spaciousquarters at 910 Spadina Crescent Eastwith gala official ceremonies on May24. The museum, housed in a buildingwhose exterior design simulates aUkrainian townhouse, is not only thefirst Ukrainian museum founded inCanada but also the first to move intoquarters designed and built specificallyfor museum purposes. Funding camefrom Ukrainian Canadians, with assistancefrom federal, provincial andmunicipal sources.Museum director Linda Lazarowichinterrupted work on gallery displaysand graciously conducted a tour of themuseum's main floor for a group offestival participants that included SergeRadchuk of Winnipeg, national presidentof the Ukrainian Canadian Committee:Roman Baduiak, his wife,pysanka artist Helen Baduiak, and theirdaughter Christina, from Quakertown,Pa., and myself.Making a circuit of the main floor's13,500 square feet. Miss Lazarowichpointed out the locations planned forthe permanent gallery, the fine artsgallery, traveling exhibits and displaysof artifacts, archival photographs anddocuments of the arrival of the firstUkrainian settlers to Canada.Al Kachkowski, rector of the PetroMohyla Institute in Saskatoon who isthe museum's development officer,showed us around the lower floor.

Don't putthese people off; don`t evade theirproblems; don`t pass the buck. Thebuck is supposed to stop at your desk.I, personally, am happy when theseproblems are brought to me, althoughsometimes it would tax the wisdom ofSolomon to come up with a workablesolution. I would begin to worry if I hadno visitors, no problems and no oneьсемпу uiivitc. rou may sometimeshave to offer an unpleasant and unpalatablesolution, but if it is the right one,you have nothing to fear.All of us have no doubt seen executiveswho are very knowledgeable intheir particular field, but unable toconvey or transmit that information toothers around them, unable to communicateon anyone else's level. Theexecutive who has the knowledge plusthe ability and administrative knowhowto get things done should beconsidered a "prize catch."I have always believed that people areborn with a certain amount of talent in agiven field. All the degrees in the worldand years of university training do notnecessarily qualify a person to be ateacher, for example. Of course training,a lot of practice and many hoursspent mastering any craft are good, butmy point is that there has to be a certainamount of inherent talent for the job.Some people have an inborn talent forleadership; others were meant to follow.This world and our societies need bothin the proper proportions.Food for thoughtHere are- a few food for thoughtpoints that executives ought to consider:" A good executive does hot overreactto a situation.' He should keep a cool head andcalmly assess the situation.' Sometimes, in the heat of things, itis better to do nothing, but wait untilthings cool off a little.фRemember that nothing is as goodor bad as it first seems.SPRING' If you must write a critical letter, goahead and get it off your chest and writeit, but don`t mail it. Nine times out of 10you will find that in a couple of days youwill be glad you didn't.' A good executive does not lose histemper. Someone once said that if youlose your temper, you lose everything.' A good executive does not censuresubordinates in the presence of others.4A good executive is a professionallistener." If a subordinate makes a mistake,particularly if it is a big one, give him"breathing room" to correct it beforemaking an issue of it. He feels badlyenough having made it in the first place.' Temper justice with mercy.фA good executive should be articulateand be able to articulate that whichhe perceives to be a good approach to apossible solution. He is the most logicaland proper person to fill this role.щ Respect the past and learn from it,but don't live in it!A Washington correspondent askedPresident Kennedy to offer advice to ahigh school or college student whowould someday be sitting in his chair.President Kennedy cited, among otherideals, some of the great qualities of twoearly presidents, Lincoln and Adams:"The most important human qualitiesof leadership are best embodied inthat most towering of American presidents,Lincoln. A combination ofhumility and self-confidence, innerresolution and energy, which gives apresident the capacity to listen toothers, to be aware of his own limitations,but also to follow the commandof John Adams that 'in all great andessential measures the president isbound by honor and his conscience...toact on his own mature and biased judgment.'I can advise you to be aware ofthe importance of these qualities, but noone can tell you how to develop them. 1only hope, for the welfare of ourcountry, that you will possess themwhen you come to office."Finally, I am reminded of whatDwight D. Eisenhower said aboutleadership: "Leadership is the art ofgetting someone else to do somethingthat you want done because he wants todo it."DANCEsponsoredBY UKRAINIAN AMERICAN YOUTH ASSOCIATIONto be held atUkrainian Catholic Auditorium, 6 cottage РІЕСЄ, Utica, N.Y.Saturday, June 7, 1980 from 9-2 a.m.Music by "Iskra"ggBggBgggaaggggгоооикшллPhiladelphia, Pa.Trenton, NJ.VOLOSHKYUkrainian Dance Ensemble of Philadelphia, Pa.CONCERTofUKRAINIAN DANCESunday, June 8, 1980 - 5:00 p.m.Northeast High SchoolCottman and Algon Aves.Artistic Director - Zoia Hraur KorsunFor more information please call evenings 379-0459Есті?і?дкді9оууціхж^^

But Otto Hellinger,Mr. Surmach's insurance agent, convincedthe Western American InsuranceCompany of the relative safety of thesupervised tours, and the firm agreed toinsure Mr. Surmach.The return of the primary schooltours was welcomed by Mr. Surmach,who looked forward to the hecticschedule of conducting four`such toursa day, a routine that could wear out aman half his age.Bees have been an integral part of Mr.Surmach's life, and during his tours, hestresses the beneficial and indispensiblerole bees play in the food chain andplant growth."Bees are here to pollinate, not toproduce honey," he tells his students."The honey is just their food. They arehere to pollinate so we can all have fruitand vegetables and flowers."Mr. Surmach also allays the fears andmisconceptions many youngsters harborconcerning the aggressiveness ofbees or their sting. He patiently explainsthe normally docile nature of bees,emphasizing that they only attack whenprovoked. Stinging a human is tauntamountto suicide for a bee as the stingergets torn from its body, he explains.To remedy the pain of a bee sting, Mr.Surmach recommends applying icefollowed by honey to the wound. Buthe lets the bees sting him, claiming thatbee venom is a serum against arthritis.After his informative lectures on allaspects of the life and function of thehoney-bee, Mr. Surmach entertains hisguests with songs played on the bandura.In the 28 years he's been conductingthe tours, Mr. Surmach notes that onlytwo children have been stung, andneither was seriously ill afterwards.Magazine says Sovietpresence in Afghanistanwill be long-termNEW YORK - The Catholic journalCommonweal carried an article in itsMay 23 issue by Adrian Karatnycky,free-lance specialist on Soviet and EastEuropean affairs.In his article "In for the Long Haul inAfghanistan," Mr. Karatnycky reviewsthe handling of the Afghanistan eventsby. the Soviet press (Pravda, Izvestiaand the Literaturnaia Gazeta)."It is, of course, difficult if not impossibleto make sweeping interpretationsof Soviet policy solely on the basis ofarticles and commentaries in the Sovietpress. Yet the pervasive propagandacampaign and its emphasis on American,Chinese and Pakistani interventionsuggest that the Soviet leadership,through its press, is preparing itscitizenry for a protracted and difficultSoviet involvement," writes Mr. Karatnycky.He points out that alternate sourcesof information on Afghanistan forSoviet citizens are American radiobroadcasts and the samizdat.Soviet authorities seem to be worriedabout the repercussions this informationmight have on its citizenry. "Attackson Radio Liberty and the Voice ofAmerica have continued to escalate andindeed reached a high-point in lateMarch, when Western radio servicesbegan to broadcast accounts of theSoviet use of chemical warfare inAfghanistan," wrote Mr. Karatnycky.According to the writer, recent emigresfrom the Soviet Union have indicatedthat there is widespread concernamong the general population about theSoviet involvement in Afghanistan.SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSBSiSSSSBSSSlSSDUO-RECITALLARYSSA M.

No. I THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JUNE 1, 1980 15Carter: a second...(Continued from page 6)a potential downturn into an extantcatastrophe.In foreign affairs. President Carter'sinaptitude is even more pronouncedand potentially more damaging to theUnited States. Current American foreignpolicy is characterized by vicissitudes,fragmentation and the absence ofa coherent ideological formulation fordealing with rapidly changing globaldevelopments. If there is one unifyingtheme pervading this otherwise haphazardattitude toward external politics,it is President Carter's consistentand reflex disinclination for strongmeasures to counteract Soviet confrontationalpolicies and expansionism.But first a brief comment on theCamp David accords. Dr. Wytwyckydescribes the Camp David agreementsas "the president's most dramatic success,"a misleading appraisal whichoverlooks several seminal factors thatprefaced the talks, as well as events inwhich President Carter took no directrole. The Camp David accords were, inlarge part, a culmination of evolvingnatural forces — Egypt's flounderingeconomy coupled with Israel's realizationthat it had little to gain fromcontinued hostilities with Egypt -which led both nations to conclude thata negotiated peace was in their bestinterests. Moreover, were it not forAnwar Sadat's peace-seeking gambit toIsrael, Camp David would have beenimpossible. As a mediator in the negotiations.President Carter did a competentjob, but most of the credit forinitiating the talks belongs to Messrs.Begin and Sadat.What is more germane, however, is`that the ultimate purpose of the talks,the Palestinian question, remains unresolveddespite President Carter's recentattempt to settle the issue by summoningto Washington delegations from thetwo nations. The conference was briefand an unequivocal failure, making thechances of ultimate success of the CampDavid accords minimal at best.Latin America serves as a good exampleof President Carter's diplomaticvagaries and ministerpretations, andbrings into, focus his inability andunwillingness to check leftist agitationand provocation in the southern hemisphere.By remaining neutral. PresidentCarter helped ensure the fall of theSomoza regime in Nicaragua to theSandinistas, who are presently cementingclose diplomatic, ideological andeconomic links with Cuba. AlthoughSomoza was an abhorrent alternative,his regime formed a necessary barrieragainst Cuban exportation of revolutionto potentially unstable CentralAmerican countries, and his downfall,coupled with the thinly-veiled Communistsympathies of the Sandinistas,presaged the spreading unrest in ElSalvador. Honduras and other countriesin the region. Ironically, what littlediplomatic or political mileage PresidentCarter hoped to gain by tacitly.condoning Somoza`s ouster, was lostwhen he allowed him sanctuary in theUnited States. Clearly. Mr. Cartermisread the ramifications of his contradictoryand confused policy signals.When Soviet troops were discoveredin Cuba^ President Carter respondedwith a listless speech and innocuouspooh-poohing at an overt act of Sovietprovocation. Carter's failure to outlinefirm and substantive countermeasuresrelayed a signal to the Soviets that theUnited States lacked the grit andresolve to effectively challenge anyensuing adventurism on their part.The president's propensity for misreadingevents is best exemplified in theIran debacle. Carters' chameleon-likepolicy changes in relation to Iran gaveflip-flopping a whole new dimension.After his obligatory early supportand praise of the Shah, a consistentlystaunch if somewhat invidious ally anda stabilizing force in the Persian Gulffor many years. President Carter stoodby as the fomenting forces of theKhomeini revolution gained momentum.When the Shah was finally toppledfrom power with the implied approvalof the Carter administration, U.S.envoys effectively hamstringed thearmy, thereby precluding the survival ofa moderate transitional government.Instead, Khomeini consolidated hisrevolution, cut offthe flow of oil tojtheUnited States and its allies and eventuallyseized the American hostages. Thefall of the Shah also resulted in the lossof critical intelligence-gathering equipmenton the Soviet border. The destabilizingdevelopments in Iran invariablylead to the question of whether theSoviet Union would have ventured toinvade Afghanistan with Americanlistening posts monitoring Soviet troopmovements, the presence of Americandiplomatic and military personnel inIran and a well-armed and stronglysupportive Shah on the throne. Theperverse irony of the situation is thatPresident Carter's bungling of theIranian problem over the years seems tobe his strongest political asset, as he hasexpediently capitalized on his initialfailure to assist the Shah by showingpatience and restraint in a crisis whichhis inaction and indecisiveness helpedto bring about. Whether the Shahviolated human rights or moved tooirresponsibly in modernizing his coun-. try is problematic. The key concern ofthe administration should have beenensuring geopolitical stability andmaintaining a sphere of influence in thisvital and unstable region; but by sellingout Iran, President Carter ensured theemergence of a repressive regime andprotracted disorder and conflict.Virtually ignoring the geopoliticalimplications of the Communist coup inAfghanistan in 1978, President Carterreacted with little more than a statementof indignation following the murder ofthe American ambassador in Kabul.His failure to implement a punitiveresponse, coupled with his weak reactionto Soviet troop presence in Cubaand his waffling on Iran, enhancedSoviet perception of a U.S. commitmentto non-involvement and served toconvince the Soviets that they could getaway with invading Afghanistan.Following the invasion. Carter failedto negotiate a much-needed arms dealwith neighboring Pakistan, and hisfailure to lend comprehensive and openassistance: to the Afghan rebels isfurther evidence of his unwillingness toantagonize the Soviet Union. TheOlympic boycott movement, which hasrun into increased resistance, and agrain embargo are tepid responses toflagrant Soviet hegemony.Of great concern to Ukrainians isPresident Carter's perspective on EasternEurope and the question of humanrights in the Soviet Union. After initial'reluctance to support the Helsinki!Ч^POSITION OPENADMINISTRATOROF LARGE BUILDING -COMPLETE CHARGE.ЧРSome real, estate administrative 8.supervisory experience required.Inquire:(201)451-2200Accords because they granted theSoviets de jure recognition of thepostwar frontiers. President Carterembraced the Basket Three provision ofthe agreement which dealt with assuranceson human rights. By making theissue of human rights a touchstone ofhis policy toward the Soviet Union,President Carter has taken an importantfirst step in aiding Ukrainians andother victims of Soviet repression. Yet,an overview of the administration'sperception of Eastern Europe andethnic minorities in the Soviet Union,shows a narrow comprehension ofoverall Soviet strategy and the questionof Ukraine.Following his summit with Brezhnev,President Carter showed a naive miscomprehensionof Soviet motives forthe passage of Salt II. When the Sovietsreneged on certain preconditions. PresidentCarter was incredulous, confessingto the American people that he wasfooled by Brezhnev's specious sincerity.This ingenuous posture in light of theSoviet Union's long history of deceptionand manipulation portended futureerrors in judgement relating to Soviet-American affairs, errors which directlyaffect Ukraine.The true barometer of PresidentCarter's evaluation of the Ukrainiansituation is not, as Dr. Wytwyckyasserts, the appointment of ZbigniewBrzezinski as national security advisor(he has since been relegated to the Ьаск–burner with the rise of diplomaticnovice Ed Muskie), or his meeting withGen. Petro Grigorenko, or the tokenappointments of Ukrainian Americansto his staff. A more tangible and,unfortunately, more dolorous indicatorof President Carter's perception (or lackof it) of the status of Ukraine was his illconceivedand shortsighted decision toclose the U.S. consulate in Kiev. Giventhe myriad options open to him, theclosing of the consulate was an unpardonableand tragic miscalculation onthe part of the president, and it indicatesa marked ignorance of the nature of theUkrainian struggle and Ukraine's placein Soviet society.Aside from fostering dismay anddisheartened confusion among Ukrainianactivists in the Soviet Union, theclosing of the consulate in Ukraine'scapital undercut the vital concept ofUkraine as a nominally sovereignnation, and gave official sanction to theidea that Kiev is just another city in theSoviet Union. To take punitive stepsagainst a people that has suffered themost under Soviet domination clearlydelineates President Carter's total lackof insight into the important distinctionbetween overall human rights andspecific national rights. Recognitionand support of individual Ukrainiandissidents is indeed important, but therecognition of a Ukrainian national andcultural identity as a separate issue to beaddressed individually is imperative informulating a policy on the future statusof national groups within the SovietUnion. Given the closing of the Kievconsulate, which was a symbol ofAmerican interest in the struggle fornational rights, and President Carter'sreluctance in signing captive nationsproclamations, should raise gravedoubts as to the president's understandingof and commitment to the problemsof Ukrainians and all enslaved nations.Once again. President Carter's refusalto press the issue of national rights inthe Soviet Union has much to do withhis pattern of avoiding serious confrontationswith the Soviet Union and,concomitantly, it reflects a reluctance tobecome involved in the internal affairsof a sovereign country. His refusal topressure the Soviets on the nationalitiesquestion and on immigration rights forethnic minorities other than the Jews,shows an inconsistency in his extantpolicy relating to the Soviet Union.Granted. President Carter's humanrights policy is a welcome improvementfrom the realpolitik of the Nixon-Kissinger era which avoided directinvolvement in Soviet internal affairs,but it is only a first step, and' one thatCarter has not followed through on. Inaddition, President Carter's refusal toattend Tito's funeral and thereby offsetthe presence of Brezhnev, bespeaks hisinability to fully comprehend the volatilityof the situation in Yugoslavia andthe overall situation in Eastern Europe.The obvious lessons of Hungary,Czecho-Slovakia and Aghanistan seemnot to have been absorbed by the Carteradministration.President Carter has proven that he iscapable of managing neither domesticnor international affairs. His mainconcerns have always been political. Hisself-serving emergence from the RoseGarden despite no new breakthroughsin the Iranian crisis shows a presidentmore interested in his political survivalthan in resolving the problems that facethe nation - problems his own ineptitudehelped nurture and aggravate.G.

He wasnot replaced by another Ukrainianspecialist.Members of the University of TorontoUkrainian community, includingProf. Luckyj, were also upset at theselection committee steering the selectionof candidates toward economicsrather than toward the economic andsocial history of Ukraine, according to abrief sent to Provost Donald Chant.In his curriculum vitae. Dr. Magocsidid not list Ukrainian history as asubject he is qualified to teach. Thisprompted David Jones, student councilpresident, to complain to PresidentHam that the appointment did not takeinto account student concerns as to thecandidate's teaching abilities and qualifications.The controversy took another turnwhen it was learned that Prof. Magocsiintended to retain his three posts atHarvard (managing editor of the HarvardSeries of Ukrainian Studies,administrative director of the UkrainianStudies Fund and senior researchfellow) while taking on his new assignment,raising the question of whether hecould effectively carry out such a largenumber of overlapping duties.Although many questions remainunanswered, Mr. Bardyn recently saidthat he was pleased with the finalarrangements of the appointment. In arecent telephone conversation with TheWeekly, he asserted that certain compromiseshad been made on both sides.The chair will be exclusively history,and Prof. Magocsi will give up hisadministrative positions at Harvard,said Mr. Bardyn.W0 PLACE LIKE SOYUZIVKA!SOYUZIVKAProf. Magocsi, 35, received his M.A.and Ph.D. from Princeton Universityand has published many works onmodern developments in westernUkraine in the fields of bibliography,language, literature and immigrationstudies.
