Vietnam Mora torium
Ending the war In Vietnam is thi s eff ort on our campus and
the most I mp ortant task f acing in our community. We ask others
the American nat ion. Over the
last few years , millions of Amer icans have campaigned , pr otested , and demonstrated against the
war. Few now defend the war ,
yet it continues. Death and destruction are unabated; bomb s and
fire continue to devastate South
Vietnam .
Billions of dollars
are spent on war while the urgent
domestic pro blems of this countr y remain unattended . More over, the war has had a corru pting influence on every aspect of
American life, and much of the national discontent can be tr aced
to its Influenc e.
The discredited policies of tne
past which have brought about
this American traged y have not
been chan ged. We follow the
same military advice which has
created a futile and bloody conflict while we cling to the same
policies which have caused the
Paris negotiations to falter. The
token displacement of 25,000
tr oops over a three month period
simply is not the substantial
change of policy that is so desperate ly needed.
Thus it is necessar y for all
those who desire peac e to again
become active and help bring
pressure to bear on the pr esent
Administration .
We call for a periodic mora tor ium on "business as usual"
in order that students, faculty
members and concerne d citizens can devote time and energy to
the important work of takin g the
issue of peace in Vietnam to the
lar ger community.
If the war continues this fall
and ther e is no firm commit ment to Amer ican withdrawa l or
a negotiated settlement on October 15 , part icipating members
of the academic commun ity will
spend the entire day organizing
against the war and work ing in
the community to get others to
join us In an enlar ged and lengthened morat orium in Nove mber.
This process will continue until
there is American withdrawa l or
a negotiated settlement.

MORAT ORIUM STRATEGY
This moratorium for public
action would have its largest
initial success in the academic
commun ity, but should expand
rapidly into other segments of
the community.
Consequently,
much of the initial day 's eff orts
will be directed toward increas ing participation in the next
months 's morator ium.

of World War II. Efforts to revive it in the immediate poat -wAF
period fell victim to McCarthy ism and the blandishments of an
affluent society. It was the war
in Vietnam more than anything
else which fire d a resurgence
of student activism. For Vietnam has never been an extracurricular question — and not
only because it is the youn g
who fight wars. Even if grad uate student deferments had not
been disallowed , the A merican
univers ity could not remain
apathetic ; just because millions
of students are preoccu pied with
the question of h ow not to serve
in the militar y, but because this
war is offensive to their deepest mora l and intellectual standards.
Students have given a sound lesson in political coura ge and social
respon sibility to their teachers .
And the teachers have respon ded.
Strong forces have emer ged in recent months withi n the teaching
pro fession , capable of commanding the attention of their colleagues and of persuading them
that the war and all the construc tive work at home which it blocks
is of vital concern. This awakening was much in evidenc e this
summer in meetin gs of mathe maticians , psychologists , poll*
tical scientists , sociologists , microbiologists and at the conventions of the Moder n Language
Association and the American
Ph ysical Society. As with the
student protesters of the pr eceding academic year , the dissent ing academ y thi s summer was
addressing Itself to urban decay ,
racism, the electoral proces s,
pollution , violence, the militari zation of our society. But underlying all else was a revul sion against the war. The October 15 M oratorium will pr ovide
the first major test of an emerging student -faculty consensus .
The Moratorium has the suppor t of the National Student Association , and as of last week ,
plan s were being laid on 400
campuses tor college convocat ions to discuss the war and related Issues. In most places
the students will also be messengers to adjacent communities ,
moving Into shopping centers ,
bowling alleys, factor ies, and
homes, endors ing US withdrawal.

first. To say that is not at all
to say that the war is the root
cause of all our disabilities.
I t is to say that w ithout an end
to the war we cannot begin to
take hold of our other pro blems.
Because the Amherst statement
helped to set a true pers pective for the society and identi fy the source of campus tur moil , we hailed it and urged
other colleges and universities
to "start planning a reprod uction
(in the fall), each in his own
way , of the Amherst convocation. *'
The war drags on. But the
October 15 Moratorium is an
occasion for renewed resistance.
The decision of the Moratorium

American colleges and universities to act as one on October

than that the time is used to drail of

the academ y for peace.
The university is not norma lly
organized — and in our opinion
should not normall y be organized
— to function as a political institution. But the times are abnormal. It is the principal custodians of the public interest
— the politicians — who are
most responsible for that , not
the custodians of enlightenment.
The academy has been left no
choice but to engage itself in
the democratic process , to demonstrate the power of knowled ge,
to pro vide a mode l of rational
discourse and persuasion. We
hope that every member of the
academic communit y , from the
youngest freshmen to the most
august college president and trus tee, will move into the breach .

of scholars on October 15 is their

The Huskies , however , exhibited
a great potential along the air ways. BSC quarterback , A lex
Kopae z , completed 17 of 33 pa sses lor 288 yards , but 4 of his
aeria ls were picked oft by Lock

Ending the war In Vietnam is thi s eff ort on our campus and

the American nat ion. Over the
last few years , millions of Amer icans have campaigned , pr otested , and demonstrated against the
war. Few now defend the war ,
yet it continues. Death and destruction are unabated; bomb s and
fire continue to devastate South
Vietnam .
Billions of dollars
are spent on war while the urgent
domestic pro blems of this countr y remain unattended . More over, the war has had a corru pting influence on every aspect of
American life, and much of the national discontent can be tr aced
to its Influenc e.
The discredited policies of tne
past which have brought about
this American traged y have not
been chan ged. We follow the
same military advice which has
created a futile and bloody conflict while we cling to the same
policies which have caused the
Paris negotiations to falter. The
token displacement of 25,000
tr oops over a three month period
simply is not the substantial
change of policy that is so desperate ly needed.
Thus it is necessar y for all
those who desire peac e to again
become active and help bring
pressure to bear on the pr esent
Administration .
We call for a periodic mora tor ium on "business as usual"
in order that students, faculty
members and concerne d citizens can devote time and energy to
the important work of takin g the
issue of peace in Vietnam to the
lar ger community.
If the war continues this fall
and ther e is no firm commit ment to Amer ican withdrawa l or

to join us.
MORAT ORIUM STRATEGY
This moratorium for public
action would have its largest
initial success in the academic
commun ity, but should expand
rapidly into other segments of
the community.
Consequently,
much of the initial day 's eff orts
will be directed toward increas ing participation in the next
months 's morator ium.

of World War II. Efforts to revive it in the immediate poat -wAF
period fell victim to McCarthy ism and the blandishments of an
affluent society. It was the war
in Vietnam more than anything
else which fire d a resurgence
of student activism. For Vietnam has never been an extracurricular question — and not
only because it is the youn g
who fight wars. Even if grad uate student deferments had not
been disallowed , the A merican
univers ity could not remain
apathetic ; just because millions
of students are preoccu pied with
the question of h ow not to serve
in the militar y, but because this
war is offensive to their deepest mora l and intellectual standards.
Students have given a sound lesson in political coura ge and social
respon sibility to their teachers .
And the teachers have respon ded.
Strong forces have emer ged in recent months withi n the teaching
pro fession , capable of commanding the attention of their colleagues and of persuading them
that the war and all the construc tive work at home which it blocks
is of vital concern. This awakening was much in evidenc e this
summer in meetin gs of mathe maticians , psychologists , poll*
tical scientists , sociologists , microbiologists and at the conventions of the Moder n Language
Association and the American
Ph ysical Society. As with the
student protesters of the pr eceding academic year , the dissent ing academ y thi s summer was
addressing Itself to urban decay ,
racism, the electoral proces s,
pollution , violence, the militari zation of our society. But underlying all else was a revul sion against the war. The October 15 M oratorium will pr ovide
the first major test of an emerging student -faculty consensus .
The Moratorium has the suppor t of the National Student Association , and as of last week ,
plan s were being laid on 400
campuses tor college convocat ions to discuss the war and related Issues. In most places
the students will also be messengers to adjacent communities ,
moving Into shopping centers ,
bowling alleys, factor ies, and
homes, endors ing US withdrawal.

all-collGge convocation at Amherst, and Its resolution that as

slvely and persistently the major social and foreign problems
of our society." Vietna m comes
first. To say that is not at all
to say that the war is the root
cause of all our disabilities.
I t is to say that w ithout an end
to the war we cannot begin to
take hold of our other pro blems.
Because the Amherst statement
helped to set a true pers pective for the society and identi fy the source of campus tur moil , we hailed it and urged
other colleges and universities
to "start planning a reprod uction
(in the fall), each in his own
way , of the Amherst convocation. *'
The war drags on. But the
October 15 Moratorium is an
occasion for renewed resistance.
The decision of the Moratorium
leaders not to restrict their evangelizing to the academy Is sound .
Nothing but a broadly based movement has much chance of pushing the Nixon Administration to
get us out, and to put aside ths
illusion that public opinion can
be tran qullized by token with drawals or hands placed on
Although it would be
hearts.
impressive were a majority of
American colleges and universities to act as one on October
15 , each institution will inevit ably proceed in its own manner.
The particular ways students ,
facult y, administrators (and trus tees) spend that day matter less
than that the time is used to drail of
matize the most solemn wl
the academ y for peace.
The university is not norma lly
organized — and in our opinion
should not normall y be organized
— to function as a political institution. But the times are abnormal. It is the principal custodians of the public interest
— the politicians — who are
most responsible for that , not
the custodians of enlightenment.
The academy has been left no
choice but to engage itself in
the democratic process , to demonstrate the power of knowled ge,
to pro vide a mode l of rational
discourse and persuasion. We
hope that every member of the
academic communit y , from the
youngest freshmen to the most
august college president and trus tee, will move into the breach .
The planned , one-day national
convocat ion of the communit y
of scholars on October 15 is their
opportunity. Seize it.
