Maxine Phillips, editor of Dissent Magazine, will be the speaker for the Peace and Social Justice Center's Annual Dinner. I realize this speaker is a democratic socialist, but the Peace and Social Justice Center has been a major opponent of militarism and imperialism here in Wichita. Regardless of their political and religious leanings, the group has done a lot of good for this area and deserves support. I work with this group every chance I get. -សតិវ អតុ

changing U.S.
policy. Dinner is $25. Please RSVP at 316 2635886. Seating is limited. On
