United States Attorney David A . Brock filed an application fo r crim inal contempt against Mark W afers, president o f Stu­dent Government, Wednesday with the. clerk o f Federal D istrict Court in Concord.

W efers has been ordered to appear in the United States D is­tr ic t Court in Concord, on F r i­day May 15, at 10 a.m. for a hearing on the order to show cause.

The application charges W e­fe rs with "w illfu l violation of orders issued by United States D istrict Court Judge, Hugh Bownes,” according to the of­fice o f the United States Attorney.

According to B rock ’ s office, W efers violated the court order that David Dellinger, J erry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman not be allowed to speak on campus a fter 6:30 p.m. Tuesday unless the Trustees allowed otherwise.

The application goes on to charge that W efers "w illfu lly violated the court’ s order by permitting and otherwise encour­aging Dellinger, Rubin and Hoff­man to speak after the 6:30 p.m. time lim it without obtaining per­mission from the T rustees,” ac­cording to a press re lease from the U.S. Attorney’ s office.

Brock said Wednesday, no ac­tion was contemplated against Dellinger, Rubin and Hoffman.

W efers announced at the Field House Tuesday afternoon that the tr io would speak at 7:30 p.m. Shortly thereafter. President John W. McConnell said he would allow the speakers to appear in

UNH faculty approves two majorreso lutio ns in closed sessionby Lou Ureneck

A combined meeting of the faculties met in closed session yesterday. The purpose o f the meeting was to explore "th e is­sues raised by the escalation of the war in Indo-Chlna and by events associated with the ap­pearance o f the "Ch icago 3.”

The basis for the meeting con­sisted o f several proposals pre­sented by the Ad Hoc Committee of the faculty. The Ad Hoc Committee was charged by the Executive Council o f the Univer­sity Senate with two tasks.

The committee was " t o for­mulate plans lor expressing the University’ s deep concern for the escalation of the war in South­east A s ia .” It was also " to plan a continuing program o f ed­ucation in the major issues la­cing students, faculty, and oth­er members o f the University community.”

A large portion o f the faculty was discontented with the re la ­tively mild wording o f one sen­tence in the preamble o f the first resolution. The sentence read, “ Therefore we believe that spee­dy termination o f the war in In- do-China is absolutely es­sential.”

John Donovan, assistant pro­fessor of economics, suggested that the wording be changed to "th e Immediate and total with­drawal o f all U.S. forces in Indo-China.”

Thomas Carn icelli o f the En­glish Department opposed the change o f wording. Carnicelli said, " I think this amendment w ill fragment us. I think what we have here is a good pro­posal; this change would only produce fragmentation among the faculty.”

Hans Heilbronner, professor of history, spoke in favor o f Don­ovan’ s version. Heilbronner no­ted. “ This is no longer a po­litical question. It is not a political action but a moral ac­tion.”

Sam Rosen, professor o f ec­onomics, relayed to the faculty that UNH is politically four years behind many other universities. Citing recent disturbances at the University o f Wisconsin, Rosen said, “ Four years ago the stu­dents at the University o f W is­

consin asked the faculty to join with them but the faculty re­fused. Today the school is un­der seige by the National guard.”

Rosen urged the faculty to express their sentiments to the students and "show them that we (the faculty) are not light years behind them.”

Michael Pincus, chairman of the Spanish Department, asked fo r approval o f the amendment to show the students that in­stitutions can work.

The vote finally came on the amendment, 283 in favor and 123 opposed.

The preamble to the firs t re­solution in its finished form read, “ The American invasion o f Cam­bodia and the renewed bombing of North V iet Nam have brought severe tensions to this campus, destruction to many others and Ueaiii to at least one. Ttiese c ir­cumstances raise an incalculable danger o f unprecedented aliena­tion o f many o f our students and faculty, and o f the ability of this University to survive in any recognizable sense. Therefore, we support the immediate and total withdrawal o fa ll U.S. forces in Indo-China.”

Erwin Jaffee o f the Politica l Science Department sought to make an addition to point num­ber three o f the firs t resolu­tion .

This particular part o f the resolution included a request for Senators N orris Cotton and Tho­mas McIntyre and Representat­ives James Cleveland and Louis Wyman to come to the UNH cam­pus and speak with students and faculty.

Ja ffee ’ s addition to the resol­ution read, “ If, for any reason, any o f these four are unable to come to the campus, a dele­gation o f students, faculty, and administration shall be sent to Washington to meet with them to discuss the subjects o f this re ­solution.”

Ja ffee ’ s suggestion was added to the resolution by a vote o f 233 for and 110 against.

Another change was suggested by Jan d e e , dean o f the Whitte- more School, who wanted to change point number three of tne firs t resolution. This part read, “ We urge that students be invited to join us in planning and participation in activ ities .” The suggested change by d e e , which passed, said, "W e urge that stu­dents and faculty join in plan­ning and participating in these activ ities .”

A fourth proposal was pre­sented by Jaffee and PaulBrock- elman, associate professor of philosophy. This proposal i f passed would have provided fa-

the evening in the Interest of maintaining peaceful orderonthe campus. But he added, " I be­lieve the student leaders violated the court order and should be answerable to the court and the University for this action.”

In a statement Wednesday morning Governor W alter Pe te r­son praised the "responsib ility and common sense o f the students at Ihe University o f New Hamp­sh ire” during the appearance of the three speakers. But he urged lega l and disciplinary action against certain student leaders.

“ There is a serious question that certain student leaders may have violated a court o rd er,” Peterson ’ s statement read. " I f this is the case I would hope that appropriate action would be taken at the D istrict Court.”

One aspect that may become significant in the show cause hearing is a supplemental order issued by the U.S. D istrict Court p r io r to the speakers’ ap­pearance.

The supplemental order c la ri­fied the original court order and stated that the trio was not to be allowed to speak after the time lim it was up.

According to a report published in Foster ’ sDailyDem ocrat, Fed­era l Marshall V ictor Cardosl said W evers refused to accept the supplemental order and the marshall slapped W efers on the shoulder with the order, pre­sumably making serv ice l e ^ l .

W efers maintains he did not know about the supplementary injunction. " I still haven’ t seen it ,” W efers said Wednesday night. "P eop le had come up and told me I was going to be ar­rested. When I saw the guy I didn’ t know i f he was going to a rrest me or what so I didn’ t hang around,” he added.

W efers said he believes he has grounds to prove his innocence.

More than 1000 students and faculty responded to the charges against W efers by signing peti­tions which said in part, “ We,

the undersigned, consider our­selves to be equally responsible and lega lly accountable fo r the action which Mark W efers alone has been accused.”

The idea fo r the petitions em erged in a discussion group o f students in the Strafford Room of the Union which followed a faculty meetingWednesday after­noon.

According to Kathy Mehron, editor o f the Granite, the stu­dents felt W efers wasn’t solely responsible for the appearance

of the trio, and they wanted to share any guilt he might incur because o f his actions.

"T h e reason for the petitions wasn’ t just to prohibit a con- victim by having thousands of students and faculty share the responsibility,” M iss Mehron said. “ To them it was evident that many had taken part in the decision that had led to their appearance after the court dead­line.”

John Scagliotti, one o f the stu­dent leaders who organized the

apj)earance oij the trio, read the petition at a radly in the Union Wednesday nlghK Reemphasized that anyone who signed the peti­tion might be held legally respon­sible.

His remarks were met with ap­plause from the audience.

Reaction by most o f the stu­dents approached with the petition was positive, according to Miss Mehron.

When W efers was told about the petitions he said, "Out o f sight.”

Attorneys disagree over injunctions; hassles confuse Wefers and ‘Chicago 3’by Michael Comendul Contributing Editor© 1970 by The New Hampshire

At 3:50 Tuesday afternoon Mark W efers, student govern­ment president, did not know the whereabouts o f the “ Chicago 3.” He was unsure and suspicious. He had just concluded a three-

sided phone call including him­self, his lawyer John Shortlidge o f Keene, and Joseph M illim et, attorney for the University. W efers had called M illim et a liar.

The phone call was an attempt by the three involved parties to interpret the court order served W efers in the U.S. D istrictCourt that morning. At the termina­tion of the call, M illim et was upset at the attitude taken by Shortlidge. No agreement had been made. The issue was at an impasse. W efers was confused.

W e fe rs ’ confusion at this time was the result o f his surprise in the U.S. D istrict Court. Con­cord, ea r lie r that morning, when Attorney M illim et announced that the "Ch icago 3” would be in Durham by 3:30 that afternoon.

According to a telegram re­ceived by W efers Monday, the "Ch icago 3” could not be on campus before 7:30 p.m. Tues­day, because o f important prior commitments, regard less of M illim et’ s announcement. W e­fe rs ’ suit for injunction was based

on the fact {hht the 5:00 time lim it set by the Trustees was a violation o f freedom of speech.

D istrict Court Judge Hugh Bownes left the bench at 11:20 that morning and said he would announce his decision by 11:30. At 11:25 M illim et announced that he had to speak "to the court, and the judge was summoned from his chamber. M illim et said the three speakers would be landing at Logan A irport in Ro.<!ton by two-thirty,and they could be in Durham an hour later. Their a rriva l would comply with the Trustees decision that the speakers address the University before 5 p.m.

Bownes asked W efers if three hours was enough time to allot to the speakers. W efers said yes. Bownes returned to his chamber and made a final decision.

The suit for injunction was denied. The court ordered the three be allowed to speak from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. The original time lim it set by the Trustees was 5:00. "T h e court took no position after 6:30,” said Short-

Condlelighf marchers mourn slain Kent State studentsby Pat Bowie and Kathy Novak

Despite a bitter spring wind which extinguished the burning candles and numbed hands and feet, 3,500 to 4,000people march­ed Wednesday night in mourning for the four students slain at Kent State College in Ohio this week.

The silent march began at ap­proximately 8:10 p.m. in front of Snlvely Arena, and moved across Durham without incident or inter­ference. P r io r to 8 p.m., one stu­dent noted, only about 20 persons had gathered for the march. By the beginning o f the procession, two or three hundred had grouped with candles in paper cups, but the march massed into the thou­sands within an hour.

Shortly after 8 p.m., UNH stu­dent E ric MacEachernannounced through a bullhorn that the march was to be a “ silent procession to honor the dead at Kent State.” He also assured the group, “ It ’ s legal. Don’t w orry about that.”

Before the march, MacEachern said he had applied for a perm it fo r the march, but withdrew the application when he was told by police that it would be necessary fo r two cruisers to accompany the

marchers.It was fe lt by MacEachern and

other organizers o f the march that the presence o f the cruisers would be not only impractical (since part o f the m archwastogo cross-campus rather than keep­ing to the streets), but also un­seem ly considering the nature of the march. However, a spokes­man fo r the Durham Police con­firm ed that despite the lack o f a permit, there was “ no legal en­tanglement” concerning the march.

In rows of six to eight abreast, the marchers moved out o f Snively parking lot led by Mac­Eachern and another student, Jaan Laaman. The group, com­posed o f students, faculty, and severa l young children, walked slowly and quietly across Mc­Laughlin lawn toward Jessie Doe. A s the wind extinguished a flame someone would turn to light it once more.

A t the corner o f Ballard and Garrison (at Stoke Hall), apolice- man rerouted tra ffic to allow marchers to proceed to Madbury Road. By the time they had covered Madbury and reached Main Street, the procession

back to Garrison long tra il o f blazing

stretched Avenue, a lanterns.

The overwhelming mood o f the group was one o f solemnity. Peter R iv iere, form er editor of THE NEW HAMPSHIRE, carry­ing a candle at the end o f the marching group, said, “ I t ’ s amazingly quiet. . .respectfully quiet.”

A coed nearby remarked, " I don’ t believe this. Everyone is just screaming peace, only they aren’ t saying anything.” A s the group turned dovra M ill Road to­ward the "quad,” there were two shouts o f "R igh t On” from stu­dents in Alexander, the only sound interrupting the march besides the steady shuffling o f feet.

The procession circled the Christensen area and returned to College Road about 9 p.m. when a low hum of “ The Battle Hymn of The Republic” stirred in the front ranks and passed on down the line, severa l students bowed their heads.

One coed on crutches dropped out o f the march in front o f the lib rary . She had accompanied the marchers from Snively and hoped to rejoin the group i f she could

keep up. Several students re­moved sandals or sneakers and went barefoot despite the cold. Others mumbled about the strong wind toward the end o f the march, but still the people gathered and walked.

Still united, many still quietly humming, the procession moved to President McConnell’ s lawn where the marchers sat on the grass, the glowing flam es illum i­nating their faces. Two coeds, Kathy Holt and Maurlta Mc­Carthy, gave b r ie f statements on the purpose o f the march. “ We are marching tonight fo r our brothers and sisters at Kent State,” one o f the g ir ls said. "W e are marching for the Black Panthers.”

The second student confirmed the students’ unity with the Kent State students and with the Black Panthers, and concluded, "W e must be w illing to die with them if necessary.”

There were a fewmoraentsof contemplative silence following their remarks, then one by one the students raised their hands above their heads in the peace sign or the clenched fist o f strike.

The University Senate accepted the general faculty resolutions with few amendments yesterday afternoon in New Hampshire Hall. The meeting was attended by 150 interested students besides Sena­tors.

Three hours o f discussion, amending and voting produced a document ambiguous enough to please almost a ll the Senators.

President John McConnell cov­ered his obligations to parents and some Senators by providing

an amendment to part 3 of resolution one, that commence­ment w ill be held. The striking students are allowed to strike and faculty members got their mean­ingful protest o f the Southeast A sia war.

The National Students Associa­tion and the original UNH strike proposals demanded free ing all U.S. political prisoners including Bobby Seale, Black Panther lea­der.

The only black Senator, James Moss, condemned the Senate and its resolutions for the absence o f any concern for blacks. Mark W efers, student body president, moved to amend the firs t re­solution to Include the Univer­sity ’ s distress over the plight of the blacks andparticularly Bobby Seale. The passage o f the amend­ment was encouraged by Myrna Adams, assistant tothe academic vice-president and Peter R i­viere, acting as a proxy, but was defeated.

CorrectionIn Tuesday’ s edition o f THE

NEW HAMPSHIRE, an incorrect statement was attributed to Sue Potter because o f a typographical mistake. Miss Potter, speaking about ROTC on campus at Monday night’ s rally, was quoted as saying, “ the men in ROTC are a ll warm ongers.” Her statement actually was, "th e men in ROTC are not all war mongers.”

University o f New Hampshire Resolutions by the University SenateMeeting at 3 p.m. on May 7,1970 RESOLUTION 1

The American invasion of Cambodia and the renewed bomb­ing o f North V iet Nam have brought severe tensions to this campus, destruction to many o- thers and death to at least one. These circumstances raise an incalculable danger o f unprece­dented alienation o f many o f our students and faculty and o f the ability o f this University to sur­vive in any recognizable sense. Therefore, we support the im­mediate and total withdrawal o f all U.S. forces in Indo-China.

In accordance with this belief, we resolve that:

1) Copies o f this resolu­tion be sent to President Richard M. Nixon, Sena­tors N orris Cotton and (Continued on page 9)

lidge. The order (apparently) did not prohibit the three from speaking at 7:30.

ACLU lawyerM illim et said Steven Spiel man,

an American C iv il L iberties Union lawyer and law firm part­ner, was enroute to Boston to escort the three speakers to Dur­ham. Tuesday morning in court was thp first time W efers had heard Spielman’ s name aligned with Millimet’s. Spielman had phoned W efers the night before the hearing, introduced himself and offered his serv ices. He did not identify himself as a lawyer representing the University, We­fers said.

In a four-way telephone con­versation among W efers, Spiel- man, John Scagliotti, student government committee coordina­tor, and Peter Harris, graduate student instructor o f political science, Spielman said he had contacted the "Ch icago 3.” The speakers could be on campus ea r lie r than had been expected, said Spielman.

" I f you can get them here early, fine,” said Scagliotti.

At this time there was no de­bate over the 5:00 time lim it set by the Trustees. Spielman did not explain his partnership with M illim et. At the end o f the conversation he asked that his name be withheld in order that his position as anACLU lawyer not be jeopardized, according to W e­fers, Scagliotti, and H arris.

When the link between M illi­met and Spielman wasestablished Tuesday morning, W efers was confused. He sent Scagliotti and H arris to Boston to meet the three. "Something wasn’ t right,” said W efers. “ I didn’t trust Spielman.”

Speaking time extendedAt the 1:00 rally in front of

Thompson Hall Tuesday after­noon, President John W . Mc­Connell announced that the court order extended the speaking time for the three from 3:30 to 6:30. W efers, interp,reting the court order differently, announced that the three would be speaking at 7:30. McConnell reported the "Ch icago 3” would be on campus by ' :30, as announced in court that morning. This had

Chicago 3 ' pack Field House fo r speech asking students to liberate the University

by The News Staff

“ Right on!” David Dellinger grinned at the audience and raised his fist in the power-to-the- people gesture. The firs t o f the “ Chicago 3” to speak, Dellinger apologized to the 5,000 people who jammed the Field House Tuesday at 7;40 p.m.

“ Sorry we were late, but we were stopped by the police for what just happened to be a rou­tine check up, and ten other cars just happened to go by without being stopped.”

Dellinger, a defendant in the “ Chicago Seven” conspiracy tria l, spoke as Yippie leaders Abbie Hoffman and J erry Rubin sprawled in chairs on the plat­form .

The two frequently punctuated D ellinger’ s remarks with foot stomping and raised fists.

“ We went to Chicago in 1968 to express our rights on free speech,” said the conservatively dressed, middle-aged Dellinger. “ The government did not want any v isib le protest. By threats and intimidation the government tried to keep us away. McCarthy and McGovern told their fo llow ers to keep away. But whelt free speech is being threatened then that is the tim e to fight for free speech.”

“ Because we asserted our rights, the police vamped on us. We were convicted in court for something that the W alker Com­mission described as a police riot. We were convicted o f a crim e that a government com­mission did not think was real. W e have never started a riot, but Spiro Agnew and Richard Nixon are right now carrying on an in­ternational riot a ll over the w orld .”

“ Just a few minutes ago we saw on television the scenes at Kent University. There is a reason why those four were killed. Part o f the reason is a mass e ffort to wipe out opposition in this coun­try. But especially they died be­cause everybody now knows that Nixon’ s secret plan to end the war was so secret that even he didn’t know about it .”

Dellinger spoke o f the destruc­tion caused by Am erican a ir­raids in Vietnam. Lyndon John­son explained that we were bomb­ing only factories, and in Hanoi that might have been true, he said. Further south he said he had not come upon a single sizeable town that had not been bombed.

“ I f Vietnam were an industrial nation with vital nerve centers like London or Washington, it would have been destroyed. But Vietnam is a rural country so a ir power does not work. In that case the enemy becomes the entire population.”

“ In Vietnam we are killing water buffalo to force the people to surrender. But the saddest thing is that around the neck o f every water buffalo is a rope, and at the end o f the rope is a child, gunned down with the buf­falo he was leading.”

Dellinger asserted that P res i­dent Nixon was caught between the Pentagon and the Am erican public on the issue o f the war. D ellinger said Nixon was trapped

Claim ing the United States has intervened in Cambodia to dis­guise its defeat in Vietnam Dellinger argued that in the fa il­ure and the frustration o f the war, the Cambodian people have be­come the new enemy. There can be no v ictory here, either. The next stage can only be nuclear warfare, he warned.

D ellinger blamed Am erican policies in South East A s ia partly on its treatment o f minority groups. “ What happens in the in­ternal colony cannot be separated from the external colony. A nation that had not kept its black people in the ghetto would today not be a civilization capable of doing what it is doing now to the Cambodian people.

p lace,” said Rubin, dressed in a tie-dyed shirt and maroon pants. “ W e have got to take this place over and use it for our purposes. We showed tonight that we have got power because w e’ ve got all you people out there with us.”

“ Our coming here was not a gift o f the Trustees. They had to give in because they know what you would have done i f you had not been given the right to hear us,” Rubin yelled in a relentless hoarse strained voice.

“ They are afraid that we w ill incite a riot. And that shows that they are afraid o f you,” he added.

“ We got double-crossed,” screamed Rubin, “ I was awak­ened this morning by a man who identified h im self as a lawyer,

“ Caught in this dilemma, Nixon is trying to get a quick victory thai would please everyone. But there w ill be no v ictory in Indochina. I f they cannot conquer and pacify the people o f South Vietnam, how can they do it to Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand?

“ The United States is caught in a quagmire and there is no way o f getting out except by getting out.*”

“ How can you love God whom you have not seen when you do not love your brother whom you have seen?’ ’ Dellinger asked his audi­ence. “ Despite all our indigna­tion to stop the war, we also have to ask ourselves a sim ilar ques­tion. How can we love the North Vietnamese whom we have not seen when we do not love the blacks and the Panthers whom we have seen?”

“ I am for a second revolution that w ill fu lfill the American

revolution that has been sabo­taged. But I am lor making that revolution by force and not by v io lence.”

“ You are not going to get the revolution by writing letters to your Congressmen. You are not going to get it by holding meetings like this. You’ ll get it by refusing to serve in the armed forces, by refusing to pay your war taxes, and by offering solid assistance to your brothers who refuse to commit war a trocities .”

“ This is a time that American people o f different views and life styles must be brought together and solidarized for the em er­gency. I f we do not do this in six weeks then those arguments about fascism w ill be moot. We need to open up the university as a liberated te rrito ry until all men are fre e .”

The audience stood, clapped, cheered, and thrust fists in the a ir.

RubinJerry Rubin, a leader o f the

Yippie party, a radical political group, sprang from his seat, grabbed the mike, and proceeded to hop and stamp up and down the stage. “ Tonight we showed that it ’ s us and not the Trustees who decide who speaks. The Trustees are rich, mother f— ing busi­ness men.”

“ This is not a matter o f free speech but o f who owns this

who said he was speaking for the students. He told me you can’ t come and speak at night. The University has won. P lease come and speak in the afternoon. He kept saying you gotta’ speak in the afternoon. The kids want to hear you. I called up Dave and I called up Abbie and they can­celled- things. Then I foundout who telephoned me. — the lawyer for the Trustees. The lawyer for the Trustees! . . . His name was Steve Splelman and you oughtta’ know that . . . You can’t trust ’ em. You can’ t trust ’ em .”

As he paced across the stage, Rubin yelled, “ these places(universities) are like factories and w e ’ re tie.-)ted, like shit. We all know that school is nothing but advanced toilet training..“School 1s to make us little capi­talists, consumers, and bureau­crats. They want us to work for grades which, like money, ain’ t worth nothin’ .”

and you wait until they te ll you it is the right moment, and when that moment comes you just let it out, flush it down and forget about it.” The audience clapped and cheered.

Rubin demanded that univer­sities strike to protest the V iet­nam war and racia l d iscrim ina­

tion. The schools in Nazi Ger­many functioned while the Jews w ere burned, but they w ill not stay open here while blacks are being shot and men are being killed in Vietnam, he said.

“ This society is a crim inal society. We are going to tear down every ja ii and free the prisoners and ja il the judges. We have all got to become crim i-

nals. The law is illega l. We have tyranny in this country today and the only way out is revolu­tion.”

The schools in this society teach the peopie to compete, feel guilty for a bad grade, and pre­pare* them for ulcers like their parents, he continued.

Rubin further accused the United States o f destroying its young people. “ We have geno­cide here in Am erica. They either put us in ja il or send us to Vietnam. It ’ s the alcoholics who have put the pot smokers in jail. W ell, w e ’ re going to Washington and we are going to get so high that we are never come down until the black people are free and the U.S. gets its f— Ing nose out of Asia and Latin Am erica.

“ The war in Asia is a geno­cide war. They are trying to get rid of us by killing us there. It ’ s a war based on Richard Nixon’ s sexual hangups.”

Rubin denounced the economic system, accusing it o f d iscrim i­nation and hypocrisy. “ Nobody asks how Rockefeller got his monev. Nobody asked the Ken- nedys how they got their wealth. But they all go about asking 80- year-old black ladies on welfare how they got that extra $30.”

“ Capitalism is another word for stealing. This country was stolen from the Indians and black people, who built this country. This country belongs to all the people and we are going to steal it and give it back to all the poor people. That’ s what the revolution is all about.”

Am erica is a dying empire, said Rubin, and it is scared o f its children. The country wants them to die for capitalism. It wants us to put a Coca-Cola plant, a Harv­ard for the rich, and parking lots in Vietnam. Am erica wants them to transport the “ very bullshit” they are fighting against at home. “ But there is going to be a revolt because we have got to close everything down until we have all the power,” said Rubin.

HoffmanGreeted by applause, cheers

Candlelight march(Continued from page 1)

The low humming began again, and the students rose to their feet, holding their cupped candles in the a ir as torches o f peace. As quietly and orderly as they ar­rived, the group moved across Main Street, many moving toward the Union fo r a general meeting. The .sea o f lanterns flickered and slow ly died.

Reactions from students in dorm itories and on the streets were usually o f awe. In one dor­mitory, several g ir ls stared at the marching group in disbelief, deciding “ It was beautiful . . . so unreal,”

Meanwhile, many o f the march­ers had moved into the cafeteria of the Union where Assistant P ro ­fessor o f Physics Mark Klein served as moderator fo r a 90- minute discussion on the strike and issues pertaining to it. The group then dispersed throughout the building to attend various meetings concerning future action.

Some o f the meetings included plans to go to Washington, D.C. for the national protest planned there on Saturday, and plans to go to New York C ity on Monday to “ shut down W alL Street.” Others brought up ideas to re­structure the University.

Abbie Hoffman

and Indian war whoops, Yippie leader Abbie Hoffman took the mike, grinned, and returned the war whoop. He is tall and stocky with w iry black hair.

“ New Hampshire, whooooeeee! Tonight the granite is going to crack. Tonight the Old Man in the Mountains is going to blow his f— ing brains out.”

"E v e ry goddamn nursery Ison strike; what’ s taken you so long? A bunch o f dinosaurs have been running this state for too goddamn long.”

“ Look at this place; this is a vanilla state— all 32 pf Howard Johnson’ s vanilla. People talk about loving or leaving this na­tion. W ell, we’ve already t— ing le ft .”

Hoffman said the courts o f the United States were useless and unfair. “ Everybody here knows who was responsible for Chicago and that was Mayor Daley.”

“ There are not courts left for

pho to b y Wallner us except the streets. The courts are here to protect only the people in power.”

“ We are going to Washington to protest, and we are going to pro­test at the Washington Monument, that petrified penis o f the Poto­mac.”

“ We know that summer is the time for fighting in the streets. Those troops are going to come out and we’ re going to fight, come hell or high water.”

The mass o f people stood, clapped, gestured fo r power, shouted, and chanted in a tense frenzy. The “ Chicago 3” shook hands with people from the audience. Then they left through the back door to address 3000 people who waited outside to see them. Then it was over. Some of the apprehension, tension, and excitement o f the evening dis­appeared.

One by one, in pairs. Ingroups, the people filed out quietly.

Predicted violence foils to m ateria lize Tues. strike summeryPredictions o f mass student

riots and off-campus agitation failed to m aterialize Tuesday night when the “ Chicago 3” came to the Field House, spoke, and left, with the University still intact.

There was one minor incident as severa l students forced open a basement door and tried to enter the gymnasium. The dis­turbance was quickly calmed by student marshalls.

Otherwise, the crowd was or­derly, although there were sev­era l incidents which could have resulted in disturbances.

Approximately 4000 people had responded to President John McConnell’ s announcement in­structing students to meet in the Field House at 3:30 p.m. A half hour later they w ere told the speakers would not be there until 7:30. Most o f the audience re­turned to dorms or walked around campus, but a few remained at the field house. There was no violence.

The gymnasium was filled to absolute capacity by 6:45 p.m., and fire laws made it necessary to turn away about 2000 people. These people moved to the foot­ball stadium behind the Field House, where they could hear the speeches over loudspeakers.

Several persons walked into the F ield House lobby carrying crash helmets, but there was no trouble. A ll helmets had to be turned over to student marshalls at the ticket office.

Rightists and leftists calmly passed out their literature as representatives from Goddard College collected donations for the bail o f Goddard students who had been “ busted” ea r lie r in the day.

Abbie Hoffman gestures at crowd of about 5,000 that filled the Field House Tuesday to hear the Chicago 3 speak. p fio to b y Wallner

by.During the speeches the audi­

ence responded vigorously, but without violence. The speakers’ rem arks were received with cheering and clapping, and, dur­ing J erry Rubin’ s speech, oc­casional booing.

“ Go ahead and boo,” Rubin shouted. “ I dig it! You do it here ’ cause you know you can get away with it, but i f you tried it inclass you’d get a f--------- ‘ F ’ .”The jeers changed to laughter and applause.

When the three made reference to the national student strike, much o f the audience raised

clenched fists in the gesture of power, shouting “ Strike! Strike! S trike!” But the shouts sub­sided as soon as the speakers resumed their talks.

Outside in the football stadium, where people huddled c loser to­gether against the cold, the mood was about the same.

There were occasional dis­gruntled shouts when the speaker system broke down tem porarily. But the most distraction came from laughing th ree-year-olds running around the field.

However, underlying concern was prevalent throughout the

speech. Businessmen half- jokingly asked each other i f they had brought their Mace. Students stood in groups describing their past experiences with tear gas.

Rumors o f National Guard mo­bilization spread quickly, and there was constant speculation as to which people w ere “ brothers” and which were plain clothes police.

Perhaps the only real threat o f harm came when one o f the coordinators o f the program asked people to “ stop throwing paper airplanes. Somebody might get hurt.”

by Bruce Cadarette,

Contributing EditorForm al organization o f the

proposed UNH strike began Tues­day morning with a gathering o f approximately 300 persons on the lawn in front o f Thompson Hall.

Jaan Laaman, a member o f UNH Students fo r a Democratic Society, was the firs t to speak to the crowd through a bullhorn as the ra lly got underway at 8:15. He called for the students to form workshops to plan what was to be done. He also suggested that the strikers put out a newspaper and go into the classroom s to in­form the students there o f the purpose o f the strike.

A g ir l from the crowd took the horn from Laaman and said that workshops would not be practical considering the number ofpeople present, and suggested going to the dorms to get people up.

The next student to speak sug­gested a plan for lim iting the power o f the Trustees. “ Have the University Senate have an Overriding power over the Trust­ees. Something like a three quarters vote to override them. I f the Legislature can have power over the President, then we can have it too.”

Dick Lew is, a senior psycholo­gy major, spoke to the crowd. “ Just dealing with student power isn’t enough,” he said, “ this isn’t a student power issue, it’ s a people power issue.”

Lew is remarked that fascism is becoming evident in this coun­try. “ We have racism , we have minority groups in this country that could be destroyed.” He also said there is a complete

Student fa tu ity marshalls keep Xhitago 3’ crowd tool

Wednesday fac'ulty meeting swamped

Of all the buttons badges and arm bands attached or tied to the crowd at the field house Tuesday night the most significant was the light blue arm band.

Sometimes the blue criss­crossed black or white “ strike” arm bands. Sometimes the blue didn’ t quite match the tie or sport coat or the dress o f the wearer. But whatever the co lor schemes, the bands identified over 200 volunteer students, faculty and administrators who served as marshalls during the Speeches of the “ Chicago 3.”

Carlene Harris, who organized the force o f marshalls, said only one fire marshall and one uni­formed campus policeman were on the floor at the time o f the speeches. A ll other on the floor “ security” was the respon­sib ility o f the marshalls.

There was only one incident of potential proportions during the event, and that occurred o ff the floor in the stairwell to the right.

Some students forced open a door on the basement floor of the fie ld house and began ma­king their way up the stairwell. Marshalls were called to the area immediately, and quickly convinced up to, 75 students who had entered that there was no room inside. A ll but one stu­dent left without incident.

The one student battled ver­bally with four marshalls for over 15 minutes. The student, who was unidentified, argued that the students had only marched around the campus the previous night without breaking any windows or taking over any buildings.

“ How do you think we took Columbia,” he shouted.

Four student marshalls final­ly calmed him down and escor­ted him out o f the building. Three policemen, who were in the hall­way watching the proceedings from above, asked non-marshalls “ to let the marshalls handle it .”

The marshalls also worked outside, overseeing the 3000 per­sons listening outside the Field House. To prevent a cris is re ­sulting from students demanding the appearance o f Hoffman, Rubin, and Dellinger outside, marshalls conferred with the pe­

ople on the stage, who agreed to speak outside after the speech.

Another marshall reportedly convinced law enforcement off­ic ia ls not to issue Student Body President Mark W afers a c lar­ifying order while he was on stage.

M rs. Harris, who organized the security arrangements de­spite being denied admission tc a security meeting in Concord Monday, said la ter she was no longer sorry she didn’ t get the advice o f state o ffic ia ls, and a fter the work o f the marshalls, she said she hoped the state of­fic ia ls learned something from them.

RegistrationToday’ s deadline fo r registra­

tion has been extended, accor­ding to Registrar Les lie C. Tur­ner. However, students are ur­ged to make the e ffort to get pre-registration form s in as soon as possible.

The original lim itation set for pre-registration was May 4 through M ays. Turner s till hopes to focus the attention o f students and faculty on the selection of courses for the next sem ester.

Turner hopes he can get as many registrations in this week as possible even with all the other activities. A maximum amount o f time is needed to com­municate to departments what changes would be most useful in planning fo r next sem ester.

Three thousand students swarmed into the F ieid House Wednesday afternoon to attend a faculty meeting that ended in an open convocation o f students and faculty.

The meeting, which originally convened at Johnson Theatre, was rescheduled by President John McConnell because o f the over­crowded conditions. Two thou­sand students had crammed the balconies, filled the back rows of seats, and crowded the stage of the theatre.

A fte r about an hour o f faculty comment, which reflected mainly the instructors’ opinions o f the students’ presence, Gordon Haa- land, associate p ro fessor o f psy­chology, moveU that the rneetmgadjourn. He proposed that a Uni­vers ity convocation convene, and the faculty meet separately later. The faculty voted 207 to 82 to ad­journ and meet later.

Haaland had opened the meet­ing with a resolution drafted at a faculty meeting ea r lie r that day. The resolution proposed first, that the UNH faculty support the total and immediate withdrawal o f U.S. forces from Indo-China; second, that regularly scheduled activities at the University be suspended in view o f the na­tional concern over the Indo- China war and in sympathy for the slain Kent State students.

He cited two “ rational a lter­natives” : A state-wide educa­tional program, and the continued operation o f the University. The proposal insures the protection

of academic interests o f students, the declaration o f today as a day o f mourning; and the opposition to any attempt to in terfere with the rights o f free expression and free assembly.

John T . Holden, assistant pro­fessor o f political science, told faculty and students he had been co-opted into the meeting. “ W e ’ re here to make brownie points in front o f a few well meaning students. We can think for ourselves. We are not sheep. L e t ’ s be honest. I f we close the school down le t ’ s give up our salary for those months. I move we adjourn this meeting.”

Joseph P . Ford, assistant pro­fessor o f political science, said, “ we should think twice Isefore we interrupt our education in a mood o f hysteria, before We turn the University into a c ircus.” •

Haland restated the purpose o f the resolution he had intro­duced. “ I am deeply concerned that many faculty members are are suspicious o f this resolution.

Believe me, this was no attempt to put anything over on you. There was no attempt to railroad the issues. I implore you to consider the motions and change them as you wish, but please do not be hung up on the issue that a group o f us is trying to put something over on you.”

C ecil Schneer, p rofessor o f geology, said, “ The University is no place to discuss the w ar.”

Mark Klein, assistant pro­fessor o f physics, submitted six proposals: first, that a ll Uni­vers ity classes be canceled; sec­ond, that finals be waived; third that grades be given on a pass/ fa ll credit basis; fourth, that there be no graduation cere­monies; fifth, that University fac ilities be opened and liberated for 24 hours; and sixth, that the University Senate no longer be the ruling body for the University. “ I f you want to strike, be part of it, do it.”

suppression o f speech and politi­cal freedom.

He concluded by saying, "W e ’ ve got to carry our message to the people.”

Another speaker suggested getting students out o f bed and Laaman said if they w ere going to do it, they would have to go Into the dornis and into the class­room s to get them out.

The group went firs t to South Congreve and chanted at res i­dents to join them. Two o f the strikers entered the building and hung a flag out the window read­ing, “ This building closed. Stu­dent strike.”

The crowd continued past Mc­Laughlin, Lord, and Jessie Doe, pounding on windows and gather­ing supporters; A t Stoke Hall someone pulled the fire alarm, as had been done on the previ­ous night’ s march.

The group continued through the campus to most o f the dorms, the Whlttemore School o f Busi­ness, Hamilton Smith, the So­cia l Science Center, and Paul A rts . Approximately 500 persons were present by the time the group arrived back at Thompson Hall.

The firs t g ir l to speak said there were a number o f people who had not taken part in the march because they did not know the purpose o f the marchers. She said that the students should not be concerned with national issues but should w orry about campus issues like the Trustees, visita­tion policies, and the dining facilities.

Dave Parker, a senior politi­cal science major, next spoke to the assembly. He said they should form workshop o f about 25 people each to formulate ideas. Each workshop would then send one member back to form a small committee to figure out exactly what they were going to do.

He read the four demands of the strikers:

We want a say in our own lives; we want elected trustees.

W e want immediate release of all political prisoners in this country.

We want a complete withdrawal from Indonesia.

W e want an end to ROTC and government contracts on the campus.

Laaman again asked the group to break up into sm aller ones.

Another student spoke: “ We only have two basic issues here. Four kids, 19 to 20 years old.

w ere killed, and there is a war going on and we are all accom­plices. The workshops should be action oriented. Don’ t break up until action is decided.”

J ust before the students broke up into groups to make their decisions, Johnny Trice , a mem­ber o f Katari (the black student union), stressed to them, “ You’ ve got to move on the sys­tem, because the system is moving rapidly on you.”

1 p.m.More than 2,000 people

sprawled on the lawn in front of Thompson Hall at 1 p.m. to hear the proposals o f the strike com­mittee, President John McCon­nell’ s stand, and the report o f Student Body President Mark W afers on the “ Chicago 3.”

The firs t g ir l to speak gave a completed statement o f the rea­sons for striking. She then called for a boycott o f a ll remaining classes.

James Johnson, ass’ t d ir. o f ad­missions, spoke next. He took the mike from the stand and cried, “ A ll power to the people.” He gave a warning to the students, “ L e t ’ s not have another Kent State University. Be careful of anybody trying to provoke you into throwing bricks at T -H all. They’ re only trying to get you into trouble.”

A speaker from the crowd took the mike and suggested they dis­perse and tell the students what was going on. But the crowd wanted to hear McConnell and would not move until they heard him. They also wanted to hear what W efers had to say about the injunction against the Trustees.

Peter R iviere, form er editor- in-chief o f THE NEW HAMP­SHIRE, spoke firs t for W efers, who was at that time in execu­tive council. He explained that an injunction had been made against the Trustees, but that another lim itation had been placed on the “ Chicago 3” . This stated they would be allowed to speak from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.

W efers then arrived, telling everyone there to notify the people, "they are going to be at the Field House at 7:30 tonight.”

Robert Simpson o f the Physics Department was the next person to speak. Simpson was circu­lating a petition asking for im­mediate withdrawal from Cam­bodia. He said, “ We want 4,000 signatures to send to Nixon to tell him we don’t like this

VtewpotnlFreedom of speeeh: the truth

sixty-three thousand copies of the student newspaper which you now hold in your hand have been distributed throughout New Hamp­shire.

We have done this because we feel that as citizens of a country founded on human­itarian ideals of truth and freedom you have a right to know exactly what has happened at the University of New Hampshire and why. We feel that students, faculty, and administrators of this school have been unjustly labelled irresponsible fools and communist inspired radicals by a 12<? daily newspaper that cares little for accurate and unbiased reporting, little for your intel­ligence, and even less for the truth it allegedly idealizes.

Tuesday night approximately 8,000 students listened to David Dellinger, Abbie Hoffman, and Jerry Rubin. They listened to facts, opinions, and obscenities then left the mee­ting and decided for themselves what to do. Some went home, some went to more mee­tings; but they had all listened and then considered what actually had been said be­tween the obscenities that the American pub­lic so often mutters under its breath but will not tolerate in public.

The presence of 8,000 students at that meeting remains a mass advocation of the Constitutionally-guaranteed rights of free speech and free assembly. Those rights have been the central issue since last F ri­day night when the University Board of Trustees said in effect, that they would recognize the right of free speech and free assembly until 5:00 Tuesday night. At that time, the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights would be suspended “ for the good of all concerned” .

Late Tuesday morning, the U.S. District Court, Concord, sanctioned the Trustees’ decision with an authorized extension of the speakers address to 6:30 “ for the good of all concerned.”

“ The good of all concerned” is a hollow phrase when it amounts to a vote of no confidence in the ability of nearly 8,000

Strike warWe are on strike.We strike because of despair. Because

our despair is so deep and so justified that striking is our only recourse.

We despair because a war in Indo-Chlna has long divided us. Because that war is immoral. Because it drains our economy of its vast resources while our ghettoes, and the world’s ghettoes, starve. Because we fight for ‘freedom and democracy’ in South East Asia when there is no real freedom and democracy in America.

We despair because war will not bring peace. Because it will only bring more war, more destruction and more deprecia­tion of our dwindling humanity.

We have always been divided. And long ago we stopped treating each other as pe-

students co conduct themselves rationally and in a manner reflecting their own in­telligence.

If duly elected court officials are allowed to restrict the rights of free speech and as­sembly at a university, how long will it be before they are allowed to legalize the same injustice on a nationwide basis? Freedom of speech and assembly are not part-time rights.

When Student Body President MarkW efers disobeyed a U.S. District Court injunction restricting those rights, he was acting in defense of the freedom guaranteed every American citizen by the Constitution of the United States. If he is foimd guilty for that, a great many of us who elected him to office will go to jail with him. . . volun­tarily.

Lighted candles were carried around this campus Wednesday night by approximately 3500 students. It was cold that night and a great many of them had never marched before, but there were no complaints. In fact, few words were said at all because when four students died during Monday’s demonstration at Kent State University in Ohio, a part of every student in America died with them, died for the senseless waste of human lives that he has come to expect in a country whose history is fraught with violence and bloodshed. Some of it has been justified, much of it has not; and as citi­zens of this country we cannot deny our share of the responsibility. By the same standard, we cannot acce^ the hypocrisy, immorality and injustice of a government that has continually undermined the foun­dations of our country “ for the good of all concerned” , and left us with nothing more than the hope that on our own we can make the right decision.

In advocating a student strike at this Uni­versity we are not advocating that a single student be denied access to his classes. We are asking that he be granted the free­dom to follow the dictates of his own con­science, and that he not be penalized for his decision.

Disgust becomes action

ople and made issues more important than our humanity.

But at last we have learned. And per­haps it is not too late. For in our despair we have found solidarity. We have somehow overcome our diversity and united, united as human beings against an outrageous and inhumane war that we have waged for se­ven years.

And now we strike.But it is not the University we strike

against. Nor the Trustees. Nor the tax­payers of New Hampshire. Although we find much to disagree with them.

We strike against war. We strike against our escalating involvement in the war in Indo-Chlna.

We strike that war and will remain un­ited as human beings in our strike.

The young people o f this state “ have been so twisted that hate has taken over their souls and their minds,” W illiam Loeb said in an editorial in the Manchester Union Leader yesterday.

There is hate in young people’ s minds. You can feel it. A l­most taste it. But the hate is not a product o f twisted minds. It does not come from listening to three speakers. It is not a side effect o f drugs. It is a symptom o f despair. Hate spawned by a loss o f hope.

College seniors today look back on their years in high school and remember reading prom ises that the war in Vietnam would be over in a year, or a year and a half, i f only we bomb North Vietnam, or stop bombing North Vietnam, or commit a hundred thousand more troops, or make just one more major offensive. Surely the war would be over by the time they grad­uated from high school.

And now they hear more pro­mises. President Nixon sends thousands o f troops plunging into Cambodia in an attempt to win

r peace by-waging a w ider war . And the next day students hear Nixon .saving on the radio that colleee protestors are “ bums.” The President o f the United States, their President, calling those who disagree with him “ bums” . The same man who promised to “ bring us together” . The P res ­ident offers no hope.

A few days later, four stu­dents, four “ bums” , were gunned down and killed by National Guardsmen in Kent, Ohio. And students a ll over Am erica who have never marched before walk the streets, carrying candles, mourning the senseless deaths.

In the past few weeks a whole new generation o f radicalized students have been born. Born because there is no one they can turn to. Born because they are tired of empty prom ises, tired o f baseless patriotism, tired of death and suffering, tired o f an endless war, tired o f a system that refuses to regxond to o r

even acknowledge their leg iti­mate concerns.

There is hatred because there Is no hope. Hatred o f a system that has taken all hope away from them. It is not that they hate Am erica. They do not. They hate the lies about Am erica. The lies that say in the American system all men are equal, a ll men are free, everything is perfect and nothing should be changed. They do not hate the Am erican ideals. They hate the lies which say the ideals are now in practice. They are not.

Today’ s students hate hollow patriotism exemplified by such slogans as “ Am erica, love it or leave it” because this represents a ll o f the worse aspects o f the system. The reluctance to admit that some things have to be changed, the intolerance o f dis­sent, the attitude that anyone who disagrees with the men in power should leave the country, the failure to remember that this is a government “ o f the people, by the people, and fo r the people.’ A ll o f the people. Regardless of

’ ’race, creed, haUphaF origin, or •age.

Nixon has called college pro- ffts fA rs h© saidtoday’ s students have the advan­tage o f the best educational sys­tem the world has ever seen. What our President is saying is that because we have such a good educational system, stu­dents should be satisfied and have no right to critic ize their country. The opposite is true. Becuase they have benefited from their educational system they are all the more qualified to crit­ic ize . They are a ll the more a- ware o f what Am elca could he but is not.

picked up my mail at the Durham Post O ffice. Among the junk mall was a letter from a black student at Brown University, a friend whom I hadn’ t heard from in weeks.

Ed,I have been wanting to

write for a while, but I had nothing to say. I confess I s till have nothing to say, because there is nothing to say ever.

Could I ask you a question? A re you still humane? Very tew are here at Brown. lam just wondering i f there is any hope left • in this desolate world.

Peace, I pray Phil

Phil,Am I s till humane? Is

there any tenderness, com­passion and understanding le ft in people in an age o f political polarization and personal paranoia?

I think I am still humane. I think the: vast m ajority of

^ cpjloge^.stvidents are. Be- cause what at times appears on campuses to be hatred for America and its people is in fact disgust for the present American situation. A disgust based on the be­lie f that the ideals on which Am erica was founded have been lost in the country’ s development. And a belie f that these ideals are still valid and must be reincor­porated into the system. I think there is hope in this desolate world. Hope be­cause the disgust for all that is Inhumane in the world, and especially in Am ­erica, is finally being transformed into action.

On breaking trad itionIdeals of truth ore indespensible

A s I have passed by the l i ­b rary in recent days, I have of­ten Considered the inscrlptlor above its doors, “ You shall know the truth and truth shall make you fre e .” I fee l the idea o f seeking truth is especia lly re ­levant today.

A society resting on the w is­dom o f past generations, on tra­dition alone, is a building with­out foundation. Tradition cannot be m erely preserved. On the contrary, it must be reaffirrued with every generation. Those who try to prevent tradition’ s scrutiny are admitting a fear that the tradition has become weaker useless. When democracy itse lf

is at stake, it must not be m ere­ly preserved, it must be reaf­firm ed.

This week, when advocates o f this nation’ s disruption were to speak at the University, it seemed the immediate response by many o f New Hampshire’ s citizens was a desire to deny the freedom of speech, which is, according to our Constitution, vi­tal lo r democracy’ s existence. Many people in their forties and fift ies today have heard and seen before the Issues now at hand. But students, i f they are to be of any worth to themselves or the rest o f the world, must eval­uate current speakers and events

as have generations before. And, I feel, the “ Chicago 3” were critica lly evaluated by most of the University’ s student body.

At both ends o f the political spectrum I sense hypocrisy: M r. Loeb, ‘ crusading’ editor of the Manchester Union Leader, continually misrepresents the e- vents and attitudes on the cam­pus. For Instance, last year he compared dorm itories with visitation hours to brothel?.. It is sad to consider how ill- in ­formed or malicious is the mind behind this statement. On the other hand, Pete R iv iere , fo r­mer editor o f the NEW HAM P­SHIRE in an Interview with me last sem ester advocated using M r. Loeb ’ s tactics to counter the influence o f the Union Leader. In addition, R iv iere, one o f the most outspoken advocates o f free speech for the “ Chicago 3” , last autumn stopped publicity of the Homecoming Queen candid­ates and when and where they w ere to be voted for, because he opposed the idea o f the Home­coming Queen. His comment, and I quote, “ We purposely stif­led that.”

Attitudes such as these make it difficult indeed for democracy to survive. But these Issues o f today are being, as I said before, crit­ica lly evaluated by students. And, I feel, the ideals o f truth and freedom are considered indls- pensible in the endeavors o f most students today.

The “ Chicago 3” have come and gone. They leave in their wake one broken door lo ck and a campus which has been ac - tlvated by renewed violence in Indo-China and a violence much closer to home, the murders of four Kent State University stu­dents.

The activism, however, is not violent. UNH and Durham are s till intact.

But this should come as no surprise. UNH has established a tradition o f non-violence. It has established a governing body which seats an equal number o f students and faculty. We stu­dents fought for that and for more freedom in our education and in our lives. We can claim many victories. We have won sever­al battles without violence. We

■ have more battles and they w ill be non-violent too.

As students we also face in­creasing tuition rates because of an archaic state tax structure. Students have sought to meet this problem without violence.

A ll this in the face o f na­tion-wide campus violence which has torn campuses from Dart­mouth to UCLA none o f which has accomplished greater v ic­tories.

But Trustees and administra­tors and even state politicians claimed they weren’ t worried about UNH student?. Their con­cern was possible “ outside ag­itation” .

But there is little foundation for this. UNH has faced cri­ses o f emotional magnitude which were ripe lo r violence from the outside. ROTC, for example, was threatened last y ea r .

“ Outsider” agitation is no new threat. Security measures have been taken before, but at no time iiave they been needed. A t no time have outsiders either from the le ft or right, disrupted ac-

&OPINION

Editorials and cartoons are the responsibility o f the edi­tor-in -ch ie f. Columns and letters to the editor are the opinions o f the authors. No columns or letters speak for THE NEW HAMPSHIRE and should not be construed as ed­itoria ls . THE NEW HAMP­SHIRE editorials represent the opinions o f the paper as a student newspaper which maintains no unnecessary bonds with the University ad­ministration. THE NEW HAMPSHIRE is published, edited, written and produced by students for the academic community. THE NEW HAMPSHIRE is not aligned with any extraneous student groups and does not neces­sarily represent any opinion other than its own. Dissen­ting opinion from the com­munity is welcome through letters to the editor or per­sonal confrontations with the editor-in-chief.

tlvities in Durham.With this non-violent tradition

in mind, the Board o f Trustees last Friday night ordered a 2 - 5 p.m. time restriction on the proposed appearance o f Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin and David Dellinger, allegedly to prevent or to avoid possible reaction from extrem e right and left wing e le­ments in this state.

When the Trustees took this action, they treaded on another tradition at UNH, one, perhaps more sacred. That is the tra­dition o f freedom of spedch fo r which this campus has twice won national recognition.

Twelve years ago the Board of Trustees was awarded the first Miekeljohn Award, presented by the American Association o f Uni­vers ity P rofessors, for “ reso l­utely maintaining the freedom o f members o f the university com­munity to hear all points o f view on controversial issues, even in the face o f public opposition to bringing a particular speaker on campus.”

That award was the result of more than four years o f con­troversy over the appearance of Paul Sweezy, a socialist editor o f the Monthly Review. The la‘ e Gwynne Daggett, who underwfeiit severe persecution from this state, was Instrumental in stand­ing up lo r the F irs t Amendment to the Constitution the right o f freedom of speech and of assembly.

Six years later, the University invited another left wing editor, James Jackson o f the Commu­nist Daily W orker. His appear­ance sparked o ff the Feldman B1 1 in the legislature, which wc uld have restricted free speech ai the University.

On both occasions the state threatened freedom o f speech and inquiry at this University. Oi both occasions, the Univer- sh 7 stood firm in i ts commit-

Letter to the EditorTo the more than 200 student

and faculty marshalls, thank you very much fo r your efforts, not only at night during the spee­ches, but during the afternoon gathering and the time between. A s you saw, by the time the speakers got on stage only we, one fire marshall and one cam­pus policeman were on the floor o f the gym. Some thirty o f you stayed with the people who coul­dn’t sit in, some twenty others moved quickly to help the night watchman prevent more than a lock from being damaged on a lower floor door. A ll o f you continued your jobs outside as well, and from the time the doors were opened at 2:30 until we all went to bed, ,we worked to keep our campus cool.

I am no longer sorry I didn’t have the chance to get the “ ad­v ice” o f state o ffic ia ls on crowd control. I only hope they, State Attorney General Rudman, Co­lonel Regan, and the five federal o fficers (who I wasn’ t told would be there) sitting up in the press section learned from you. I apologize for any confusion the temporary appearance o f Dover police in the gym caused. I was told campus police would be used, not that the campus police hired other officers as supplements.

I have received many coinpU- ments on the conduct o f the mar­shalls, which rightfully belongs to you. Even the “ U .L .” said things were “ orderly” .

Our fellow students and fa­culty recognized and helped us and they, too, should share the credit for a successful evening.

You all were great and I would depend on you again in any rough situation, which Tuesday could have been. Thanks to you it wasn’ t.

ment to freedom. On both oc­casions it won.

This tradition makes the de­cision o f the Trustees on he “ Chicago 3” appearance difficult to understand. Outside elements, including the legislature, threa­tened free speech again. And rumors o f violence again per­vaded the atmosphere.

This time the Trustees yielded.The Trustees firs t decreed that

the speaker.^ not be allowed to speak after five p.m., making free speech a part-time pro­position. That form o f repres­sion, inexcusably backed by the court, was courageously defied by Student Body President Mark W efers.

Unfortunately the Trustees did not know the tradition o f this University. It is a sad conx- mentary and a sad irony that the tradition o f free speech was nearly sacrificed cm unfounded assumptions that the tradition of non-violence at UNH would be broken.

The “ Chicago 3” do not leave this campus in shambles, but in shame. Windows caq.be replaced, buildings rebuilt. Even death can be dedicated to a new life and new freedom.

The loss of a freedom, however, is a freedom lost for­ever.

never been confirmed. W efers was never sure when the three would arrive. A legal dispute in the interpretation o f the court order was evident. I f the three spoke at 7:30 would that be in violation o f the court order?

At 3:45 Attorney M illim et ar­rived in President McConnell’ s office. He met Pe te r R iviere, form er editor o f THE NEW HAMPSHIRE, and Mark W efers. McConnell was absent. M illi­met had expected to find not only W efers, but his attorney, Short- lidge, in the office. Shortlidge was in Keene; a phone call would be necessary.

W efers, speaking toMcConnell ea rlier, had agreed to abide by the decision o f the two lawyers in the interpretation o f the court order.

I f the lawyers decided against W e fe rs ’ interpretation, decree­ing the speakers could not begin at 7:30 and the Chicago three ar­rived a lter 6:30, W efers said he would leave the decision to speak up to the three.

He said the decision to dis­obey the order depended much upon the number and position of the police. “ I ’ m w illing to be a rrested ,” said W efers, “ butl’ m not w illlngtoendanger students.” I f the police were to act against the speakers with force, W efers would cancel the engagement.

“ As long as there are not a lot o f cops around, the decision is theirs and I ’ ll let them speak,” said W efers.

I f the lawyers came together and decided to favor W e fe rs ’ interpretation there would be no problem and the program would start at 7:30. The third pos­sib ility was that o f a stalemate. That is, i f neither lawyer would yield and no compromise could be made the decision, again , would rest with W efers.

M illim et took one phone exten­sion and W efers the other. M il­lim et gave his interpretation c learly and briefly, “ I think the Trustees can prohibit them from speaking at 7:30. Every effort should be made that they begin to speak when they get here.” The three were already fifteen minutes late according to what M illim et had reported in court that morning.

W efers, still confused as to whether M illim et could produce the three, asked where they were. Was M illim et sure they were coming? M illim et replied he had been told by Steve Spielman that arrangements had been made. “ I sent Spielman to meet them. I was told they could be here.”

Shortlidge disagreed with M il- llm et’ s interpretation o f the or­der. He interpreted it as af­firm ative — that they could speak - - from 3:30 to 6:30 but, said Shortlidge “ there was no ruling after 6:30.”

The only orders standing for any time period after 6:30 were those set by the University Se­nate which stated that the three be allowed to speak when they arrived and the problem o f pro­tection at different hours o f the day would require different pre- — cautions. The “ spirit o f the order” was that the three be allowed to speak as early as pos­sible, explained shortlidge.

The major debate was whether another Trustee meeting should be called in order to deny per­mission to start at 7:30, or whether the decision rested with McConnell or the University Se­nate. Shortlidge assumed the power of the Senate to be sup­er io r . M illim et insisted the de­cision was McConnell’ s.

“ W e’ ve gone to a lot oftrouble to get them here on tim e,” said M illim et. “ I f they (deferring to Scagliotti and H arris ) have del­iberately kept the three away to develop an issue, then it ’ s out o f my hands.”

W efers insisted he did not know where the three were. “ Where are they?”

Series of bomb scares hit campusA series o f bomb scares began

in Durham Wednesday at 3:59 p.m. when an unidentified male ca ller notified Dean o f Student A ffa irs Richard Stevens that bombs had been placed in Stoke Hall and Stillings Dining Halls.

The two buildings were im­mediately evacuated. Campus Security said i f the usual pro­cedure was fol'owed, the build­ings could not be re-entered for 12 hours. Students usually eating in Stillings were sent to Huddles­ton and Phllbrook Dining Halls.

Jessie Doe Hall o ffered its

lounge to Stoke women as a place to sleep, and students brought blankets and sleeping bags to the Mem orial Union for others who had been evacuated. Since Wed­nesday the Union has been open 24 hours a day.

Between 7 and 7:30 p.m. there was a bomb scare at Scott Hall, according toJaneE.Newman, as­sistant dean o f students. She said Security was going through the dorm room by room, but not touching personal belongings.

A bomb threat was called in to M rs. Grace Sullivan, head res i-

commitments to what had brought them to the UNH campus early.

Two cars had arrived at Logan A irport, one with Spielman, the other with Scagliotti and Harris. According to»Scagliotti, Spielman suggested that Jerry Rubin be ta­ken in his car and Dave Dellin­ger and Abbie Hoffman be taken by Scagliotti and Harris.

Scagliotti reported that at that time he also was unaware o f how the three speakers were broken away from prior engagements. Contrary to Splelman’ s sugges­tion the three decided to ride to­gether. They went with Scag­liotti and Harris.

According to Scagliotti, the three began comparing notes as to how each one got there. Del­linger had been- in Washington organizing for the national strike May 9. He was called on the prom ise that both Rubin and Hoff­man were speaking at UNH that afternoon Instead o f that evening. Dellinger was asked to fly to Bos­ton or forget the engagement.

“ Rubin was told,” said Scag­liotti, “ he had to come in the af­ternoon.” Rubin was informed of the legal difficulty and was told that the three would not be per­mitted on campus to speak that evening. According to Scagliotti, Rubin received calls from close friends telling him it was imper­ative he make his speech at UNH Tuesday afternoon. Rubin can­celed his engagement at a large New York rally.

Scagliotti was unsure o f theH o f f m a n o t o i y . He UlLl kIlOW tliat

limet.“ Don’ t give me this just a

second, when you l ie !” returned W efers.

M illim et did not know where they were. “ I was in my office earning a damn liv in g .” He spoke to Shortlidge, “ You know damn well, you never would have gotten the Trustees together and you never would have had your hearing without me.” M illim et was both surprised and dis­appointed at Shortlldge’ s at­titude.

M illim et responded with un­clear re feren ce .“ It ’ s a ll so much crap.”

At the conclusion o f the con­versation the parties had reached a stalemate. W efers felt that M illim et had lost the legal point. “ I f they’ re here, they’ re not speaking till 7:30,” said W efers. The decision was made. W efers s till was unsure o f the where­abouts o f the “ Chicago 3.”

As W efers left the office, he was given a phone message. It was 3:55. They were on their way. The “ Chicago 3” were only a few m iles from Durham. W efers said, “ They should be here any minute.” The call had come from Scagliotti, not Spell­man. W efers walked to the Field House.

Students eager to hear the three and believing the announcement that they would be on campus at 3:30 had already begun to pack the Field House. W efers entered the confused atmosphere o f4,300

students and attempted to call the Dover residence o f Peter Harris, where the three had been taken. There was no answer.

Apparently the pressure o f the crowded auditorium caused W e­fers to panic. His decision was changed. Heading fo r the F ield House gymnasium he said, “ The place is packed. I f they’ re here, they’ ll speak now. We can’t w ait.” The fact that the event had been publicized to begin at 7:30 had no bearing in this pres­sure situation.

A few minutes after 4, W efers walked through the crowd to the podium at the front o f the gym. He met Peter IJlvlere, who han­ded him a hand-written note from the “ Chicago 3.” “ Theconspiracy has come to New Hampshire,” it read. “ We w ill speak tonight at 7:30 at the strike ra lly . We refuse to be duped by the Trustees o f the Univer­sity into compromising the plans of the strike organizers. There ’ s no such thing as half a free speech. See you tonight.” Three signatures were at the bottom.

The decision had been 'taken from W efers ’ hands. He read the note aloud to the auditorium. “ They’ ll be here at 7:30,” said W efers. The “ Chicago 3” did not come forward to speak. They were on campus. They had bro­ken previous engagements to be here early . They felt they were being “ duped” by the Trustees. W efers still did not know what had enabled them to break their prior.

D I A M O N D R I N G S

Since Tuesday, Mark W efers, student government president, has been the subject o f many rumors and much courtroom paraphenalia.

Tuesday morning, before U.S. D istrict Judge Hugh Bownes, W e­fe rs lost his suit fo r injunction against the University Board of Trustees.

The court ordered that the Chicago Three be allowed to speak from 3:30 to 6:30. The Trustees had set the lim it at 5:00. The decision reflected in­formation that the three would be available to the campus by 3:30.

Debate arose over the inter­pretation o f the court order. A c­cording to Attorney Joseph M il­limet, the Board o f Trustees could prevent the speakers from beginning at 7:30.

According to Attorney John Shortlidge — W efers ’ lawyer — the court had made no decision on the time period after 6:30. Shortlidge believed the decision, for them to speak reverted not to the Board o f Trustees, but to the University Senate.

The Senate’ s .last, order was that the three be allowed to speak when they arrived on cam­pus. The Senate said different hours o f the day would require different measures o f precau­tion.

The “ Chicago 3” made the decision by means o f a hand­written note. They refused to speak until 7:30. W efers y ield­ed to their wishes.

At 7:00 W efers was called from the field house gymnasium by A rt Grant, assistant to the president, to order the fire mar­shalls to close the doors —

Hoffman was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday afternoon ona- bout 16 various charges. He was also in Boston by 2:30.

When asked d irectly how he managed to get the three men into Boston and what his motives were for assisting W efers, while wor­king for the University, Spielman replied, “ I just can’ t speak about tnis.”

the gym was becoming overcrow ­ded and a fire hazard.

While in the lobby W efers was called to the conference room. He was told President McConnell wished to speak to him. When W efers entered, a federal mar­shall attempted to serve him with a supplemental court order.

W efers headed fo r the door. One man grabbed his sweater; he spun away. The marshall slapped the supplemental order across the back o f W e fe rs ’ shoul­der. He was served. W efers ran from the room and the court order fe ll to the floor.

W efers feared the order was a warrant for arrest.

The supplemental order only reiterated the original court or­der, that the three be allowed to speak between the hours of 3:30 and 6:30.

No further action was taken a- galnst W efers Tuesday.

dent o f Jessie Doe Hall, at 7:55 p.m. Shortly afterwardsChrist- ensen Hall opened its lounges as accommodations for students without rooms.

The next scare occurred at Town and Campus on Main Street, which was evacuated for the night. According to Durham police officials, the threat was called in at 8:10p.m. T& C open­ed at its regular time on Thursday morning.

A t about 8:30 p.m. resident of Stoke and Scott were allowed back in their dorms despite the previous 12-hour restriction. A member o f the UNH F ire De­partment said the F ire Chief’ s decision is law. The 12-hour evacuation period is mainly based on his assessment o f the situ­ation.

Rumors began spreading quickly throughout the campus. A “ rumor center” was estab­lished in Thompson Hall, where persons could call and have rumors confirmed or denied. Head residents were called and told that if there were any more bomb threats, buildings would be searched and students would be allowed to re-enter immediately.

Fairchild Hall was the next to be threatened at about 8:50 p.m. Herbert Kimball, Univer­sity business manager (working with the rumor center), said shortly afterwards that all dorms were ready for reoccupancy.

A t 11:05 p.m. a second bomb threat was called in to stoke. Residents were not evacuated, but told to search their own rooms.

University o f New Hampshire Resolutions by the General Fa­cultyMeeting at 10 a.m. on May 7,1970

RESOLUTION 1 The American invasion of

Cambodia and the renewed bom­bing o f North V iet Nam have brought severe tensions to this campus, destruction to many o- thers and death to at least one. These circumstances ra ise an incalculable danger o f unprece­dented alienation o f many o f our students and faculty and o f the ability o f this University to sur­v ive in any recognizable sense. Therefore, we support the im­mediate and total withdrawal o f a ll U.S. forces inlndo-Chlna (The faculty voted 283 fo r and 123 against Inclusion o f the last sentence.)

In accordance with this belief, we resolve that:

1) Copies o f this resolu­tion be sent to President. Richard M. Nixon, Sena­tors N orris Cotton and Thomas McIntyre and Re­presentatives James C le­veland and Louis Wyman.

2) Senators N orris Cotton and Thomas McIntyre and Representatives James Cleveland and Louis W y­man be invited to come to the Campus during the next two weeks to talk with and to listen to students and faculty. If, for any rea­son, any o f these four are unable to come to the campus, a delegation o f students, faculty, and ad­ministration shall be sent to Washington to meet with them to discuss the sub­jects o f this resolution.

3) During the period from the close o f this meeting through Saturday, May 9, 1970, all regular Univer­sity activities be replaced by activities which our colleges, schools and o- ther units deem approp­riate to them in light of this resolution. W e urge that students and faculty join in planning and par­ticipating in these activ­ities.

4) In accordance with this resolution, we urge that

those responsible for planning Parents Week End make such sadjust- ments as are posslK e in the program fo r that day, to make it commensurate with the sp irit o f this re­solution.

5) A M emorial Service for the students slain at Kent State University be held on Saturday and that P res ­ident McConnell appoint a committee to plan that service.

6) W e recognize the moral obligation o f each faculty member to respond in his own way to the issues rai­sed by the escalation o f the war in Indo-China as well as the obligations o f each faculty member to his stu­dents. We commit our­selves as faculty to sup­port each other in leg i­timate response and we commit ourselves to pro­viding the necessary op­portunities to students for completion o f their work for this semester.

RESOLUTION 2 W e resolve that the University

community stand together in op­posing any attempt to interfere with the rights o f free expres­sion and free assembly. In par­ticular, we oppose any and all punitive actions directed against those Involved in organizing the appearance o f the “ Chicago 3” defendants.

Strike Meeting^Continued from page 3)

stinking lousy war.”The line o f speakers continued

with Paul Bfockelman, associate professor o f philosophy; “ I never thought there has been m6re need for a strike across the country than right now.”

Brockelman said he .thought the ra llies and moratoriums had served a purpose once, but now they have lost their effectiveness. “ We could get half a nillllon or one million in Washington and it wouldn’ t make any difference, but i f every university in the country struck it would make a dif- , ference.”

He added in warning, “ We have to be careful at this stage. We can’ t allow the police or the National Guard to get in a posi­tion where they can pull the tr ig ­ge r .”

Anti-Strike(Continued from page 10)

Some members o f the crowd suggested that those opposed to the strike “ adopt some o f the tactics o f the str ikers” and stage a convocation. This elic ited loud support from the audience.

The microphone was then taken by UNH student Charlie Leocha who said such action would defeat the purposes o f the anti-strikers. “ What I don’ t want is to see this group using the same tactics as the str ikers ,” he said.

Leocha said the Intent o f the meeting was simply to keep the University open and classes func­tioning, not to force anyone to at­tend class i f they did not want to.

“ What we want is a policy where a ll students can follow their own path without being pen­a lized ,” he said. “ Everyone should have his own right to free­dom o f choice.”

Worthen agreed that each stu­dent’ s right o f free choice should be protected. “ I don’ t think the s trikers are bad people,” he said. “ They ’ re only trying to change your mind.” He said what he questioned was their means, demanding that a ll c lasses be closed, shutting out even those students who want to attend.

“ We have the right as students to go to class. This is what we pay fo r ,” Worthen said.

E ric MacEachern, am em bero f the Students fo r a Democratic Society, said “ the object o f the strike is not to close the Uni­vers ity ,” he insisted. “ The ob­ject is to open up the Un iversity.”

McConnell followed Brockel­man at the mike. “ I have just heard Paul Brockelman’ s state­ments and I would like to endorse them fu lly .” At this point the crowd started cheering and stood up to applaud the president.

He said this is an educational institution, and i f the problems are c learly understood they can be solved through understanding and careful consideration.

McConnell also commented on A m erica ’ s intervention in Cam­bodia. “ We are a ll tired o f the war, and tired o f the draft,” he said. He added that the in­telligent individual can find ra­tional ways to do things.

He said he was w illing to work with everybody to find construct­ive programs to face the prob­lem s at hand.

McConnell then read the de­cision o f Judge Hugh Bownes on the injunction against the Trust­ees. The court order read as follows:

“ The Board o f Trustees o f the

9He said the goal was to stir the students out o f their academic hibernation and Involve them in the crises o f their country and the world.

Mark W efers, student body president, entered the room and tool? the microphone.

“ I f you thlrdc you’ ve got free­dom in this University, you’ re crazy ,” he declared. W efers explained that he had been served a supplemental injunction order for crim inal contempt. He said he had been lured to a side room to discuss fire precautions in the UNH Field House during the talk o f the “ Chicago 3” and was served the order there.

A s W efers stepped down, a g ir l shouted from the audience, “ I f you don’ t like it here go to an­other country!” This brought boos and deris ive shouting from the strikers congregated en masse along one side o f the room.

A black who was striking took the microphone. “ I ’ l l strike to­day, I ’ l l strike tomorrow. I ’ ll strike anytime i f I think it w ill save a li fe ,” he said, re ferrin g to the troops in Cambodia and the murdered students at Kent State.

MacEachern stepped forward. “ I f you sign this petition, it ’ s like giving Nixon a vote o f confi­dence,” he shouted.

One group o f anti-strikers gathered at a corner o f the stage at the front o f the room signing the petition to keep the University open. A t center stage strikers hollered into the microphone, trying to grab the attention of the students as they filed toward the exits.

University o f New Hampshire are enjoined and restrained from en­forcing their d irective, thatAbbie Hoffman, David Dellinger, and J erry Rubin can speak at the Uni­vers ity o f New Hampshire only between the hours o f 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 5, 1970.

“ It is further ordered that Abbie Hoffman, David Dellinger, and J erry Rubin shall be allowed to speak at the University o fNew Hampshire on Tuesday, May 5, 1970 between the hours o f 3:30 and 6:30 p.m. Tuesday May 5, 1970 so ordered.”

Parker spoke next, getting back to the business o f the strike. He asked that the students follow leaders to classes and try to ex­plain the purpose o f the strike.

Just as the assembly was about to break up W efers spoke to the students in answer to Mc­Connell’ s speech. “ I don’ t know about you, but I ’ m going to be at the Field House at 7:30 tonight.”

With that the studehts dis­persed to the classroom s.

The students mustbe saying to themselves ‘ what have they got to hide?’ ” Several o f the faculty members began to walk out at this point. Brockel­man told students that several o f his colleagues fe lt intimidated and should have the opportunity to meet privately.

Duane H. Whittier, associate professor o f philosophy, apolo­gized to students for the faculty walk-out. “ Both sides are equally upset. When the faculty refused to discuss the matter because it was no longer a faculty meeting, it showed a closedness o f minds, and I ’ m deeply upset. However, the University should not take a stand on political is­sues.”

A student later took the mik^ and shouted, “ What good is my diploma going to do me i f Fm slogging through the jungles of Cambodia with a gun in hand going bang-bang?”

J. Douglas P eters told fellow students that those who attended classes were “ sitting on the fence. You’ re asking the faculty to take the responsibility and-do the dirty work. I am not a pro­phet, I am an observer. The stu­dents whowere against the strike, fo r it, or on the fence must get together.

An interview with University President John W. MeConnellEDITOR’S NOTE:

Dr. McConnell was interviewed by the NEW HAMPSHIRE yes­terday afternoon. The following is the complete transcript.

I am taking this opportunity to tell the students o f the Uni­versity o f New Hampshire, their parents, and the people o f the state that their University is open and w ill remain so. It is perform ing its educational func­tions.

Appropriate recognition o f ex­ceptional events in the world and in our country w ill be made in special programs Friday and Saturday. Provision has been made for expressing the concerns o f conscience shared by most of our students and sta ff without abridging the rights o f any stu­dent wishing to complete a ll as­pects o f the academic semester in progress.

University activities Including Honors Convocation, registra­tion, events connected with com­pletion o f the academic year, and Commencement w ill be car­ried out as scheduled.

One o f the most difficult tasks o f a person in public office is to harmonize his own personal convictions with decisions he must make as a responsible in­dividual. In the case o f the is­sues on the campus in the past week and a half or more, there are many times in which I had difficulty in separating or brin­ging directly into harmony my personal viewpoints and the res­ponsibility o f my office.

Let us go back to the begin­ning o f the story o f the “ Chi­cago 3’ ’ . The invitation Issued to the “ Chicago 3” was made before the procedures outlined in the Student Rights and Rules book were followed. Had these procedures been followed, I think much o f the difficulty we have experienced in the last 10 days could have been avoided. As a matter o f fact, these procedures were written after the 1964 in­vitation to James Jackson to speak on campus which provo­ked a sim ilar public controversy.

With respect to the funds, the, decision, in my opinion, was clear cut. Neither THE NEW HAMPSHIRE nor the Granite have the right, according to their con­stitutions, to spend money to sup­port outside speakers. And al­though it was said that the money was from a reserve that partial­ly accumulated as a result of selling advertisements, it still remained that the budgets for the Granite and THE NEW HAMP-S H IR E w o ro ap p ro v e d in tho ligh tof the existence o f these re ­serves, and it must be assumed that the expenditure of the re­serve must be in line with the constitutions o f the two organiz­ations. So far as the Memorial Union Student Organization and the student government are con­cerned, I felt that the court in­junction sought by the Y A F could not be supported by the consti­tutions of the two organizations, nor the procedures providing funds for MUSO and Student Gov­ernment, Unless it could be held that the speakers themselves were not entitled to come to the University, there would be no­thing in the constitutions o f these two organizations to prevent their spending money for this purpose.

Now there is much controversy concerning the action o f the Board o f Trustees with respect to the invitation of the “ Chicago 3” . I think one must rea lize that the Trustees do stand between the University and the public o f the State o f New Hampshire. They are responsible to the public and must respond to public opinion expressed to them. Th ere ’ s no question that the people through­out the state were incensed that the “ Chicago 3’ ’ had been in­vited to the University. They did not hesitate to make their fee­lings known to the members of the Board, including the Gover­nor. Furthermore, the leading

newspaper in the state conducted a strenuous campaign against the University fo r the invitation of the “ Chicago 3” . It is not un­reasonable, therefore, that the Trustees saw the need to dis­cuss the issue and record their opinions with respect to it.

They requested additional in­formation about the activities of the “ Chicago 3’ ’ . They reques­ted a legal opinion concerning the right o f the “ Chicago 3” to come to our campus according to our speakers policy. A ll o f this in­formation was provided. The Trustees, at the meeting just p r io r to the vis it o f the “ Chi­cago 3” , discussed this issue at great length, but ultimately con­cluded that they had no right either under the University po­lic y or the record o f the ap­pearances o f the “ Chicago 3’ ’ , to prohibit their coming on cam­pus, but then very sincerely ex­pressed deep concern that the event not result in a violent dis­turbance., The Trustees very honestly believed that i f their com­ing was confined to the daylight hours there would be less like­lihood o f such disturbances. Or the basis o f information avail­able to them, which may have been erroneous, the Trustees de­cided that the event should be held between the hours o f 2 and 5. This restriction was challen­ged in the courts by M arkW efers, As a result the court issued ar injunction or a court order re­quiring that the speakers appear between the hours o f 3:30 and 6:30. This decision o f the court was made on the basis o f assur­ances that the “ Chicago 3’ ’ could be on the campus by 3:30 that afternoon. However, through some unexplained circumstances which ensued between the time oi the arriva l o f the “ Chicago 3’ ’ in Boston and their appearance at the University in Durham, the viewpoint hardened that they would not speak before the re­gularly scheduled hour of the meeting, 7:30 p.m.

In order to avoid, disturbance and unfortunate incidents which may have resulted in violence,1 authorized the use o f the Field House for the meeting in the eve­ning. I want to emphasize again that the court order Issued by Judge Bownes was sought by Mark W afers, not by the University, and in effect he violated his own injunction in scheduling the mee­ting for the evening.

There has, o f course, been ad­verse community reaction to the appearance o f the “ Chicago 3” on campus. Most citizens, I suspect, can find little reason for perm itting individuals who have «:n IHtlp fn say and am an of­fensive to public taste to come to the University.

It is only the basic policy o f freedom of speech which could justify the very disreputable and offensive speeches by at least two o f these individuals at the University. In my opinion the Trustees rea lly established a landmark in refusing to interfere with the right o f these people to speak. However, the action o f lim iting their appearance from2 to 5 has caused considerable critic ism . There is a matter o f the Federal Marshall Issuing an order to Mark W afers at the F ield House on the night o f the appearance o f the “ Chicago 3” . I was also served with this or­der. It simply reemphasized Judge Bownes’ original order that the meeting be held between 3:30 and 6:30. There was no reason for anyone to refuse to receive this order since it did nothing to modify the original order in a substantial way.

It seems to me that at the present time, i f there is to be action it should come initially from the courts, and I am not informed as to what they in­

tend to do or how they intend to proceed.

Now with respect to the strike issue, I have stated c learly my position in opposition to the war in Southeast Asia . I think we should terminate our opera­tions there immediately. And I think that the University should express its concern with the es­calation o f the war. I am quite agreeable to some suspension of classes as a way o f emphasizing the serious concern o f students and faculty, provided that the time is used to im prove our knowledge and our ability to cope with these tremendous problems. No good purpose can be served, it seems to me, by any long-term suspension o f classes. Certainly I am unalterably opposed to cur­tailing the regular academic year as a means o f protesting.

This seems to me to say that education is Irrelevant to the solving o f these problems; I do not think it is. Students have come here expecting an educa­tion. The faculty have engaged to teach and I think it is in­cumbent on all o f us to see that a firs t class job is done. This cannot be accomplished by sus­pending classes and turning the University into a gigantic workshop on a single issue. I w ill support the development of constructive plans, whereby in the next few weeks we can bring the seriousness o f our foreign involvements home to the fa­

culty and to the students and to perm it the development o f con­structive plans fo r handling these matters. I stated at the rally that I was opposed to the war and that I fe lt some kind o f student protest as w ell as fa­culty protest was in order. I did not imply that this should mean the termination o f the term at this point, so that all the time could be devoted to discussions, workshops, and public education on this issue. Many students would find this intolerable and it seem s to me that the University was obligated to maintain its program with flex ib ility and a l­lowances for consideration of these very Important social Is­sues.

The faculty meeting today sus­tained that viewpoint and I am delighted that the faculty has been w illing to express its op­inion while at the same time ser­iously discharging its respon­sib ilities to carry on an educa­tional program at the Univer­sity. While it is extrem ely tense to undergo challenges of this nature, I fee l that the ex­amination o f Issues through pub­lic debate is one o f the great reasons for the existence o f the University . Since the faculty has made its decision, I wotild hope that everyone w ill now comply with the arrangements fo r the remaining six weeks o f the aca­demic year.

Anti-strike groups meet with student strikers

A Statement from StudentPresident Mark WefersBody

EDITOR’S NOTE:W e asked Student Body P res i­

dent Mark W efers to explain why he invited the“ Ghlcago 3’ to the University o f New Hampshire campus.

The following is his reply.

Why invite J erry Rubin, Dave Dellinger, and Abble Hoffman to speak on the State University campus? Until the University Trustees said they could not speak after 5:00 Tuesday night, the reason was not free speech. I believe that anyone and everyone has the right to say anything, anywhere, anytime. But just because a person has the right to speak is not a reason to invite them to speak. A person should have something interesting, con­troversia l, Intelligent, or dif­ferent to say i f he is to m erit an invitation to sneak. W hen! invited the“ Chicago 3,’ ’I fe lt they would have something to say which would fu lfill a ll these categories.

These three men live and rep­resent a life style and a way of life which is entirely different from what is accepted by most citizens o f the United States. They do not believe that people can own private property because they know that we are continually encouraged to be m aterialists by T V sets that bombard us with prom ises o f love and happiness if we can only own a Buick R iviera . They do not believe in laws be­cause they know that the people who are in prisons for breaking the laws we have are there be­cause they are black, or poor, or sick, or confused, or because some laws were made only be­cause some business man who had only him self at interest wanted them made. They want freedom for black people because they want freedom for a ll people. They want peace instead o f war because they see no sense in people suffering and dying.

Peace, freedom, love, and happiness. These are the goals o f the “ Chicago 3,” for them­

selves and for everyone. A re these the goals o f the Am erican people? I think, rea lly , that they are. A re these the goals o f the Am erican government? I don’ t believe it. Why are there Pepsi Cola trucks in the jungles o f Cambodia?

Why are there so many dead Black Panthers and so many living policemen? Why are there stained glass windows in St. Pat­r ick ’ s Cathedral when there are babies in Harlem with no milk in their stomachs? Why are there T V cameras on the moon when there is no water in Ap­palachia? Why have men died in Vietnam who never had a chance to vote for the man who sent them there? Why can men be sent to ja il because their minds pos­sessed certain thoughts while they were crossing a state line?W h y a r e m on a lw a y c tho hoccocand women always the servants? Why are there bosses? Why are there servants?

Most people w ill say that the goal o f our government is not to work for “ peace, freedom, love, and happiness.’ ’ It is to “ fight communism.’ ’ But fighting com­munism now seems to mean fight­ing whatever happens to be at the wrong end o f an American so ld ie r ’ s gun barrel, whether that person is an Aslan child, an Am erican black, o r an American student.

Even the words we use reveal the superiority complex we are forced to live with. Am erica is not the greatest country in the world. Am erica is not a country! It is two continents! I f we believe in the saying “ Am erica - Love It or Leave It ’ ’ for ourselves, do we believe in it for the people of Cuba? The CIA attacked Cuba. Is the C IA un-American? It is impossible to desecrate the Am erican flag because the Am erican flag has yet to be sewn.

How about the dope, the sex, and the “ obscenity” that Rubin and Hoffman find so attractive? I f there is more proof that alcohol

is dangerous than there is that marijuana is addictive then why are there people in ja il fo i being in the presence o f a plant while the President o f the United States serves poison to his guests? Why do two happily unmarried people have to make love illega lly when two other unhappily married people have to go to court just to make sure their children have a place to live? Why is it wrong to say the truth using “ d irty” words when it is a ll right to lie using “ clean” ones?

I have answered the public’ s question by asking the public a lot more questions. I think my questions were more important. The youth o f the United States has been asking these questions o f the public and o f the United States Government for too many years now. The lives o f lite r-a l ly m illio n c o f p o op lo dependon those questions being answer­ed, and answered with the truth. But firs t things firs t. You answer my questions. Then I ’ ll answer yours.

The NEW HAMPSHIRE, always one step ahead o f the news, has learned that starting next week, anteaters, and not armadillos, w ill reign as the number on e status sym bolsofthe “ in” crowd.

by Dick Nelson Staff Reporter

A group of students met Wed­nesday night to try to agree on a course o f action for keeping the University o f New Hampshire open the rest of the sem ester.

The meeting was soon joined, however, by many o f the striking students, and the meeting turned into a loud debate over the value o f striking.

Despite the dissidence o f the striking students, two concrete measures emerged from the anti­strike meeting. The firs t was a petition to be turned in to Uni­vers ity President John McCon­nell signed by several hundred persons at the meetings, urging that the University be kept open. The second was a meeting called fo r Thursday afternoon in front o f Thompson Hall for a ll students concerned with keeping the Uni­vers ity open.

The anti-strike meeting was organized by .two iT'NH students, B ill Worthen^&id John Spencer,

“ on the spur o f the moment.” Because of the spontaneity o f the meeting, the organizers had no form al plan and the meeting was thrown immediately open to sug­gestions for means to keep the University open.

Two amorphous proposals were thrown out by Worthen to spur discussion. These were ten­tative legal injunctions to either keep the school open or to provide a rebate on tuition or room and board fees. These two sug­gestions w ere quickly lost in the discussion, however.

The meeting was originally convened in a small room on the main floor o f the Memorial Union which has also been designated as strike headquarters this week. The building was quickly filled as both strikers and anti-strikers crowded intoexpress their ideas. The meeting was then moved downstairs to a la rger lecture hall where over 500 students pushed in with the strikers lining up along one wall.
