Viet

Rally

By ROGER RAPOPORT
"Get The Daily out of Viet Nam
Defoliate the Arb, Deflower the
Thetas, Stop the senseless wastej
of human beings, Close the Un-'
Ion Pool."
The sign stood high above a!
midnight Diag throng at Wed-
nesday night's teach-in. But aside
from the few sarcastic onlookers!
most of the shivering crowd of'
over 2000 listened closely to Prof.
Kenneth Boulding of the Econom-
les Department saying, "The
Y poorest peasant in Viet Nam
should have as much right as the
richest American. The world has
become much too small and
crowded for what we are doing.'
The midnight rally was thet
highlight of the 12 hour marathon
teach-in.
3000 Students
Nearly 3000 students came to
hear one or more of the lectures

or take part in the seminars
held in Auditoriums A, B, C, and
D of Angell Hall as well as six
Mason Hall classrooms.
"We only expected 500 stu-
dents," said Prof. Arnold Kauf-
man of the Philosophy Depart-
ment, one of the 200 faculty mem-
bers who planned the event.
Women were allowed all night
permission to attend the teach-
in and as Jared Stammel, '68, re-
marked, "This undoubtedly gave
a big stimulus to the event."
Auditoriums Filled
By 7:45 p.m., 15 minutes be-
fore the teach-in began, Auditor-
iums' A, B, C, and D of Angell
Hall were packed to the walls.
Carl Oglesby of the speech de-
partment told students that revo-
tutions in nations like Viet Nam
may be "inspired by the monied
few who exploit their power by
iniversal bureaucratic corruption,

governmental indifference to the
condition of men, police-state
ippression of honest dissent, no
work, and no wages."
Three bomb' scares forced evac-
uation of Angell Hall and an early'
start for the midnight Diag rally.
Hecklers abounded in the crowd,

much about this," he said, "but
after tonight I think we should
get out of-Viet Nam."
A few feet away the Fishbowl
wvas overflowing. Amidst the ar-
;uing and folksinging students.
there were bulletin boards full

like the one athlete who came buttons asking to "Stop the war
iressed in an Alabama football in Viet Nam," and a protest peti
shirt (No. 55). A group of 75 Lion to President Lyndon B. John-

students marched through the
crowd chanting "Better dead than
fed." One sign read, "All, the
Way with LBJ"-underneath was
a huge black bomb.
Nearby a student said "this
thing isn't fair at all. They aren't
presenting the other side. These
)eople want another Munich." One
of the faculty leader.; quipped to
a friend, "That guy is going to'
enlist tomorrow."
One student remarked, "Just
look at who is leading this thing
-the philosophy and psychology

ion.
In the midst of the turmoil was
a boy collecting money for the
United Jewish Appeal.
Not Only Activists
Many of the students wading
through I. F. Stone's rebuttal t:,
the State Department's "white pa-
per" or talking to teachers didj
not appear to be activists. Manyj
:ame-it seemed for curiosity's
sake.
In the early morning seminars
were held. The topics were not
planned. They were led by stu-
:lents and centered around such
issues as student involvement and
alternatives to student policy.
One professor noted that "Wet
are to blame ourselves for the Viet
Nam predicament, for we were si-
lent and did not let our voices be
heard."

Ironically, it was Republicans
who came to the defense of Pres-
ident Johnson's current Viet Nam
policy.
Chairman Albert Gamson of
the psychology department noted
that many sign carrying hecklers,
"Came into our seminars and en-
gaged in intelligent debate. This
was our purpose: to promote seri-
aus examination of United States'
policy."
Gaison added. "I learned some-
thing I should have known, how
bri.,ht and serious our students
are. The closeness between fac-
ulty and students was most mov-
ing."
Gamson said the faculty com-
mittee will send a delegation to
Washington on April 8, 9, and 10
to ask legislative action on Viet
Nam policy. They also plan to
support a march on Washington
April 17.
One of the sit-in guest lectur-
ers, Arthur Waskow of Washing-
ton commented, "This teach-in is
in the true spirit of a University
where students and faculty learn
from each other and not from the
calendar."

of yesterday's Viet Nam protest and the burgeoning plans for
similar activities on campuses across the country, it is clear that
at least some faculty and students are seeking a greater role in
shaping American policies.
These activities must continue. In general, the larger the
number of people openly expressing opinions on policy issues-
whatever their views-the more viable our democratic processes
will be.
Specifically, this particular series of protests raises some;
fundamental questions .about United States policies in Viet
Nam, and if the protests do not affect policy, they can at least

DECISION NOT R
BUT THE SUCCESS of yesterday's protest should not preclude
more radical actions in the future. Faculty and students at
the University should not forget the issue which originally F P A e-
confronted them when they were planning a teaching strike in-
stead of a "teach-in." That issue is whether teachers have the

this right extends, without legislative or administration sanctions,
to political protests which require class time. By LAUREN(

that, at some later date FPA
could vote to hear the appeal.
Last Jan. 12 the IFC executive

tion of IFC by-laws.1
The executive committee ruled
Jan. 26 that Trigon must revise

face possible expulsion from IFC.
Insufficient Notice
Trigon filed an appeal to FPA:
and the executive committee set .
March 11 as the date of the ap-
peal. Trigon contended that they!
were not given sufficient noticee
of the date and, therefore, were'
not able to prepare a defense for=
March 11.l
Their request for postponement
was denied and a motion was pass-;
ed denying Trigon the right to
appeal. Executive officers felt
postponement would be a "greatE
inconvenience to all concerned in
the IFC and the FPA."I
A motion to hear the appeal was4
passed at last night's meeting and
FPA moved immediately into the
appeal in a closed meeting. Fra-
ternity presidents were instructed,
not to discuss the hearing and the
outcome was not revealed.
Three Alternatives
The choices open to FPA were
to uphold the executive commit-
tee decision; find Trigon guilty
but revise the penalty; or find
them not guilty.
FPA is Trigon's last channel of
appeal within the fraternity sys-
tem. However, if they are found
not guilty they are still subject;
to indictment by Student Govern-
ment Council membership com-
mittee.

Faculty Teach-In Gets

"It's hard to imagine better response," smiled Prof. William
Gamson of the sociology department,'the spokesman for the Faculty
and Student Committee to Stop the War in Viet Nam.
As telegrams and calls of support come in from universities all
over the country, and as administrators .continue praising Wednes-
day's teach-in, the all-night, all-morning protest may become a mile-
stone in University political action and initiative.
Over 2250 people attended the series of lectures by three foreign
policy experts that began the 12-hour teach-in. Earlier, faculty and

After the lectures about 450 stu-

Committee 'spokesmen had pre-

midnight to 6 a.m. seminars.
Dean William I-aber of the lit-

teach-in until 3 a.m. himself and
attended five seminars, said the
affair was "most impressive."
