Soviet, American Teens Swap Ideas
By GINA LEDFORD
~ This spring about a 100
teen-agers from the Soviet
Union and America got to ask
each other questions about
rock music, fashion, food,
dating, teachers and gearents
through a satellite link between
Moscow and the United States.
Their comments were aired na
tionwide on the Public Broad
cast Service network.
Dr. Anne Raymond Savage,
a Virginia University ad
ministrator who coordinated
the teleconference in this coun
try, said the American
students were impressed with
how *‘much more open, diverse
and individualistic™ the Soviet
teens were, not “cold, aloof and
pugilistic.”
From their Moscow studio,
the Soviet students also were
surprised to learn that
American students didn't all
own helicopters, get out of bed
late, and fisten only to loud
heavy metal music.
American teen-agers
discovered several things
about Soviet teen-agers. F%r
example, Soviet teens are not
permitted to get after-school
jobs. They smoke a lot of
cigarettes, and like to drink
Pepsi-Cola and Coke. Since
there are few fast-food
restaurants in Russia, Soviet
youths asked a lot of questions
about McDonald's.
In Russia. only certain
bands get government permis
gion to perform and record
mousic. Soviet teens like
American rock and heavy
wetal music. If they get tapes
from Anierica. they copy them
over and over and sell them in
the black market
l'een afi;\.; s donot ‘date’ in
Russia. I'hey go out 1 groups
Recently, éoér‘,nmunistg Pal")ty
leaders decided to reduce
students’ school week from six
days to five.
Dr. Mark Tisone, also a
Virginia University ad
minstrator, said about the
teleconference students he
worked with in Moscow, “A lot
of them don't wear blue jeans.
Their colors were darker on the
whole — blues and grays. You
could tell the American
students. The);] were in bright
colors, tennis shoes and jeans.”

Jason Beck commented,
“We're really looking forward
to the fall convention and to
teaching this class in TV
broadcasting. It's a real honor
to be invited to teach other
students from the state.”
The fall workshop will be
held Oct. 2flGand 22 é:tuthe
University of Georgia's College
of J ourna¥ism and%l\'iass Cor%-
munication in Athens. Most of
the yearbook, newspaper and
broadcast journalism staff
members wifl be attending the
event.
Much of the credit for
enhanced youth relations is
given to Soviet leader Mikhail
Gorbachev and his initiative to
open Russian culture and
economics to new influences.
“The Soviets have finally
permitted their young people
to come to this country,” said
Liza Malott, a spokeswoman
for the President’s U. S./Soviet
Exchange Initiative.
Annually, about 10,000
Soviet citizens visit the U. S.,
comgz;red to 10 times that
number of Americans traveling
to Russia.
Although she says it is im
possible to track just the
number of youth exchanges,
Malott said, ‘‘the largest é)er
cent increase has occurred in
high schools.” -
The number of private
organizations setting up Soviet
youth exchanges is growing,
too. In 1985, the Samantha
Smith Foundation, named
after a Manchester, Maine,
youngster who met with
former Russian leader Yuri An
dropov, started sponsoring
youth exchanges.
Now there are at least 250
organizations doing the same
thing. That has increased from
only 154 five years ago.
One such organization is
| the Youth for Understanding.
' Its sports program hopes to set
up five athletic exchanges.
l Last year, only one high schol
| basketball team made it to the
| Soviet Union.
) In 1986, a team of
| American sociologists
| surveyed more than 5,000 Rus
sian and U. S. teen-agers. They
wanted to learn if young peo
ple half a world apart and
separated by many political
barriers holg the same views
about life and death.
They found that the Soviet
students worry most about
world hunger, pollution and
nuclear power plant accidents,
while American students wo
most about poor grades, de;{K
and illness.
Ninety-two percent of the
Soviet teen-agers who were
surveyed believed that ‘‘the
greatest é)roblems facing the
world today” can be solved,
compared to only 61 percent of
the Americans who believed
the same.
