First I met eight yountsters returning from a dancing lesson at the Albina Art The Dancers Carolyn Williamson, 20, of 3441 N.E. 15th, a graduate of Girls Poly. Both girls were born in Albina and feel there should be more interracial fellowship, more projects done together. They said, "The less we know about each other, the more suspicious we are. We should face the facts and put the blame where it is." When asked about the possibility of rioting in Portland this summer, they remarked, "the more we discuss it, the more it prevails upon us. We realize there is a riot element in our midst and there must be more preventive action taken than talk." They felt that the President's Commit. tee on Urban Riots was justifiable but said however, ''In some cities, we are going to have racial upheaval this summer but we are optimistic about Portland."

He continued with, "There is certainly a spirimal decay within the ranks of the youth today.
