"but that we drive him fromc
political power completely."
"Phase One" encompassed two
basic tactics:
-Information - gathering by a
so called "Peoples Panel" over the'
weekend, leading to an indictmentr
of Nixon for "crime against the
American people;" and'
-The call from the Vietnamese
representatives a n d subsequentf
White House protests intended for
today.
The first step of Phase One came;
to a close here Sunday, the group's
"People's Grand Jury" delivered its
findings, and the approximately
400 persons jammed into the First
Congressional Church discussed
future plans.
As expected, the jury's final
statement included a s t ro n g1y
worded indictment of the Nixon
administration and the American
government.
Followingan afternoon of testi-
mony on what witnesses called
"political repression" in the United
States, the jury, composed of 19
representatives from different seg-
ments of the movement, adjourned
for several hours to consider what
it hadnheard and to draw its con-
clusions.
When it reconvened in the eve-
ning, Stan Dale, a Chicago radio
commentator and founder of Com-
munications Industry for Peace
and Justice, read the jury's con-
clusions.
Slowly, in the practiced tones of
a professional, Dale read the doc-
ument, which charged "the or-
gans of the American government
are unfit to govern."
Citing evidence heard during the
three days of testimony, the docu-
ment charges the American gov-
ernment with sex and race bias,
deception of the public, political
repression, and perpetuating eco-
nomic inequality as well as "war
crimes" in Indochina.
Leaders hope today's telephone
call from Paris, originally sched-
uled for yesterday, will dramatize
the PRG's 7-point peace plan pre-
sented in Paris in July.
The plan, which Davis says "can
end the war tomorrow," basically
calls for Nixon to set a specific
date for t o t a 1 withdrawal from
Indochina in exchange for a re-
lease of all prisoners of war by the
North Vietnamese.
After the phone call, the group
will march to the White House to
serve the President with the "evic-

lized that a lot of people wanted
it done."
But administrative sources have
another idea. "The administration
is concernedrabout publicity,"
said one. "It creates a bad public
relations image for the Univer-
sity. There is a great deal of
concern."
Secretary of the University
Richard Kennedy said he was not
even sure that political demon-
strations should be mixed with
football. "People may come here
to see a game, and they get duped
into something they don't expect
or want," he said.
"It's almost like presenting
guerrilla theatre during an inter-
mission at Power Center."
tion notice," because, PCPJ leaders
say, Nixon "has had the key to
every POW camp in North Viet-
nam for four months" and has not
used it.
The initial plan was for the
phone call to be placed yesterday
followed by a candlelight march1
to invite Nixon to "set the date
now."
When no date is set, PCPJ or-
ganizers explain, it would lead to
the eviction notice and civil dis-
obedience. Both had originally
been planned for early this morn-
ing.
The group, under its original
schedule, had received government
permits for use of the monument
grounds and for the candlelight
march yesterday, as well as a per-
mit for use of the Ellispe in front
of the White House this morning.
PCPJ organizers had expected to
go closer to the White House.
The revised permits still allow
use of the monument grounds for
the phone call and somespeeches,
but forbids any kind of march af-
terwards, since government work-
ers absent for yesterday's Veteran's
Day holiday, will be at their of-
fices today.

David Harris, husband of singer
Joan Baez and a nationally promi-
nent leader of the non-violent revo-
lution, spoke at Hill Aud. Sunday
afternoon, followed by a question
and answer period. A reception
was held afterward at the Law
School.
Sunday's s p e e c h, occasionally
humorous, dealt largely with the
Vietnam War, the aspects of
American society which bring
about such incidents, and what
Harris termed the "coming revolu-
tion." Harris blasted the notion
that the war is over, referring to
the continuing deaths in Southeast
Asia.,He explained that while war
exists we cannot "live in peace
and justice and freedom and
democracy."
After serving 20 months, of a
three year prison sentence for re-
fusing to be drafted, Harris was
strongly critical of prisons, claim-
ing them to be "machines for de-
stroying people." He cited specific

difficulty, but claim the program
offers many advantages.
Besides giving the counselor
more time to meet with students
one counselor says the program
allows students to interact with
one another and share informa,-
tion. Counselors have found that
many ,students have the same
questions and the group session
enables them to answer these
enables them to answer questions.
The program is not without its
drawbacks, however, as counse-
lors are not given sufficient time
to review the records of each of
the students in the group. This
means that if for some reason a
student with a problem does not
speak to a counselor, his prob-
lem may go uncorrected.
As counselor, Rick Garlikow ex-
plains, "You get a lot of students
who come out of high school and
think that they're supposed to
take the same kinds of courses in
college. A counselor can be help-
ful in directing this type of stu-
dent, but we may not get a,
chance under the group session."
incidents occurring during his stay
at a Texas penitentiary.
Harris claimed t h a t American
emphasis on economic oenefits for
a few, government and institutions
that own and manipulate people,
and the destructive worldwide ex-
tension of U.S. power are prime
faults the revolution will, try to
resolve. 0
The former Stanford student
body president urged the audience
to work for a new "social base,"
claiming that American society is
not satisfied, but can find no alter-
native to what exists. If they are
given an alternative, it will take
away the power base of the present
sytem, he said.
Harris alsodurged that the
"movement" drop its "arrogance"
and assumption of superiority, as
evidenced by calling people "pigs."
According to Harris, the "coming
revolution" must extend to all
Americans, even the guards at the
Texas penitentiary. "To pit victim
against victim," said Harris, "is
not revolution."
TEA aided
(Continued from Page 1)
Student Government Council and
allocated $443.50 at their meet-
ing two weeks ago, in an attempt
to improve the working condi-
tions of these part-time workers.
These employes, according to
SGC member Joel Silverstien
who presented the SGC resolu-
tion, "receive no sick pay, no
healthbenefits and have poor
job security."
2t their meeting last week,
the TEA additionally .,ontended
that the University fails to define
job categories clearly and so
creates confusion about workers
duties. This results, they said,
in part-time workers being re-
quired to do extra work which is
not normally part of their job.
Until now, part-time workers
have had to accept these working
conditions or face the possibility
of being fired or not rehired.
The group concluded that col-
lectivization would give strength
to their complaints and make
strike threats meaningful there-
by giving clout to their bargain-
ing position with the University.
