VIVIAN Vivian Lauds Ne Student Protest Wave Rep. Weston Vivian (D-Ann Arbor) has expressed his support and sympathy for the growing in- volvement of the academic com- munity in the political sphere in a recent interview with The Daily. Referring to the University pro- fessors who visited Washington this April in an "academic lobby" to change present Viet Nam policy, Vivian defending their tactics, said, "Lobbying is the way the system works. I have all sorts of lobbyists in my office every day. "But it is almost impossible to say how effective their lobbying has been, at so short a date."
