Page Ten THE MICHIGAN DAILY Tuesday, November 7,'197: Poge Ten THE MICHIGAN DAILY McGovern candlelight march draws over 2000 supporters By GORDON ATCHESON Chanting "We Want George" and "Dump Nixon, Dump Thieu; peace in '72", over 2000 McGovern supporters marched across cam- pus last night, following a rally at People's Plaza. The rally and march were spon- sored' by Students for McGovern- Shriver, Students for Sallade, Michigan Peace Coalition, and the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. The organizers hoped the rally would help get out the stu- dent vote today.- "If we get over 300 people the march will be a victory" said Adam Levin of the Students for McGovern shortly before the rally began. Over 400 people attended the rally which started at 7:30. Following a speech by Levin urging volunteers to work today taking people to the polls and a brief performance by a rock band, the march began. Carrying candles and signs, the group marched up E. Madison, to East Quad, to Church, Geddes, and Observatory Streets. The march continually gained support as it progressed. Reaching full strength at Obser- vatory, the group moved across the 'Diag and back to People's Plaza. At the Plaza George Sal- lade, Democratic candidate for county prosecutor addressed the crowd. "Have we had enough of ITT, Watergate, and bombing in Viet- nam? Let's get out and vote for McGovern tomorrow!" he ex- horted. At around 9:30 p.m. Mike Lewis of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War concluded the march and rally saying "If we're going to turn America around we need McGovern tomorrow. You've made tonight one helluva success -let's make tomorrow as big a success." The march was peaceful through out its entire route. Nonetheless a police motorcycle escort accom- panied the marches. The entire line of marchers extended over a quarter of a mile in length and backed up traffic at South Uni- versity, Geddes, and State Streets. Besides Sallade, Perry Bullard, Democratic candidate for state representative participated in the march. "McGovern may carry Michigan if 500 kids turn out to held in Detroit tomorrow" heI claimed. As the marchers wound throughj the campus they received numer-1 ous cheers from bystanders and motorists. "It makes you feel good to know so many people care." commented one participant. Anoth- er said "I'm here because I'm a confirmed McGovern voter and every little bit helps." The Communist Party had a rep- resentative at the rally who passed out literature and declared "Gus Hall is the only candidate who consistently fights Nixon." Another participant had a rather unusual reason for being at the rally. "I just like to hold candles." he maintained. So it goes.

F o r m e r Student Government Council administrative vice-presi- dent Jay Hack was happy over the dismissal of charges against him, but added, "this (the decision) still doesn't make Elden a liberal judge." "It's far out," said Genie Plam- ondon, former city council can- didate. Asked if more craters would be dug, she replied, "I'm sure they will, if the war con- tinues, and especially if the Uni- versity continues in its specific involvement in the war, to the FRAY! .

The resolution urges local resi- dents "not to buy or eat California or Arizona iceberg (head) lettuce for the duration of the boycott." The action followed a mud-sling- ing debate between the Republi- cans, who voted against the reso- lution and the Democrats and Hu- man Rights Party (HRP), who proposed it. "Quit tinkering around with sym- bolic gestures and playing politi- cal games," sai RCouncilman William Colburn (Rep. - Third Ward). "Do something the work- ers want," he said suggesting that HRP give money to the Bureau of Industrial and Labor Relations in- stead of spending it on campaign advertisements in this newspaper. "Colburn's statement smacks of paternalism," charged Councilman Gerald DeGrieck (HRP - First mr Ward). "If the farmworkers didn't' want this boycott, we wouldn't be' doing this." Various Republicans asserted that the lettuce boycott was "not city business," and that "boycotts are neither legitimate or non-vio- lent." The boycott by more than 20,000, lettuce workers began in August 1970 at the successful conclusion of the grape boycott, also organized! by Cesar Chavez and the UFW. In other action, Council allocat- ed $11,250 for various comriunity day care centers. Originally, in the 1972-3 budget, Council appropriated a total of $40,000 This part of the allocation was held up due to possible bud- get problems. However, with the addition of the revenue-sharing funds to the budget, Council de- cided to complete the budgeted al- location.
