A
movement
for
humanity
""HEN THE HISTORY of our generation
is set down in textbooks for the bore-
dom of future college students it will tell
a story of movements. The students will
scribble the word "movements" in the
margins of books and they will underline
it in their class notes the night before mid-
terms. The better students may even be
able to regurgitate the issues of the move-
ments and their outcomes, but everyone
will be able to typify the period in a single
word. We all know about the age of reason
although few of us would be able to say
much about who was being reasonable
about what.
This time of ours has witnessed many
movements, as those future students will
recall. The first one to which the term was
applied had something to do with civil
rights and happened in a part of the coun-
try known as the South. That movement,
as it spread from the lunch counters and
the buses of the South to the ghettoes of
the North, laid the groundwork for the
period of movements which has followed.
FROM THE civil rights movement grew
many of the tactics of later movements.
The sit-ins, protest marches and civil dis-
obedience ranging from confrontation to
undirected violence which are a part of
the movements of this time all descended
from the civil rights movement.
From that primal movement grew ideals
and goals as well. The movements this
generation has seen have been directed
toward the individual human rights and
needs of people this world has chosen
either to ignore or to destroy.
Today another of the movements of our
time will reach a new height of expression
in its search for fruition. Today new voices
and old, in greater numbers than ever be-
fore, will be raised against a faraway war
and a President who has vowed he will
never hear them.
('ENTERING AROUND the war is the
movement which will probably be best
remembered. It was the movement that
toppled a president and shook the politics
of a nation. But beyond the politics we
may hope someone will recall our striving
for the humanity of man.

Life or death?
To the Editor:
WE HAVE CONSTITUTED an
Ad Hoc Committee to express the
support of many students a n d
faculty in the School of Natural
Resources for the national mora-
torium.
Today many SNR faculty will
hold discussions of resources and
environmental problems relevant
to the war in place of their regu-
lar classes. T h e s e sessions (ex-
ample: "Ecological Effects of De-
foliation in Viet Nam") will be
open to the public and the full
schedule is posted throughout the
Natural Resources Building.
We call upon our colleagues to
demonstrate their concern by par-
ticipating in these constructive
discussions as alternatives to their
regular activities. We also ask all
to join in University-wide mora-
torium events, a n d particularly
the 6:00 p.m. march and stadium
rally.
Think for a moment h o w we
might have used the wasted hun-
dreds of billions of dollars and
the wasted 45,000 y o u n g men's
lives as funding and manpower to
really attack the problems of an
outraged world environment and

To the Editor:
IN THE PAST, athletes have
functioned as a conservative or
perhaps even an apolitical group,
that were reluctant to voice their
opinions on issues outside the
sports realm. We can remain silent
no longer. The issues of today
have a tremendous effect upon
every individual regardless of his
interests
We. the undersigned, whole-
heartedly are in favor of, and give
support to the Oct. 15 National
Moratorium. "TIMES UP"
THU rVARfiiV Vr 1*,*%t.
to clear up a possible misunder-
standing regarding our relation-
ship to the Oct. 15 moratorium. A
simple reading of the resolution
passed by our club and reported
in The Daily (Oct. 11) will show:
That we did not say we oppose
the moratorium, as The Daily
article indicated (some of us do,
others don't>
That we did not say we oppose
the strike- (again, some of us will
attend classes, others will strike);
But that we did say we opposed
classes being called off and not
being rescheduled.
That it is a matter of immediate
tactics and not one of long-range
goals as indicated by a resolution
passed three weeks ago by the
College Republicans calling for
the "total de-Americanization of
the war" by the end of 1970.
