Day of CODlDlitDlentPeaeefulStudents. March forPeace in Our TimeAt 4:45 yesterday afternoon, approximately 5000

members of the U.C. academic community marchedsilently from campus to downtown Cincinnati as the, major activity for the Day of Commitment.

The march was aimed at an expression of the needfor non-violence in protest of the Nixonadministration's policy in Southeast Asia. The protestwas supported by the Administration of U.C., theUniversity Senate, and the Student Senate asindicated in resolutions passed yesterday and the daybefore. )Much of the rationale behind the non-violent

demonstration was the alleged "murder" of fourstudents at Kent State University on Monday; protestat U.C. has been on a peak scale since PresidentNixon's announcement last Thursday of Americantroop movements into Cambodia.Following several choruses of "We ~hall

Overcome," yesterday afternoon, the thousands ofstudents, joined closely togetherin groups of 6 to 12 people,started out for Fountain Square.

The first procedure wasinsuring that everyone saw theleaflet entitled "The Sound ofSilence," which epitomized thenature of. the demonstration.Joined six abreast, and withpink, white, and blue flowers,they followed the Clifton toFifth and W:alnut route, similarto the one used by marchers lastFriday.The seemingly endless line

made their way through .busycity streets, often blockingtraffic. Approximately 250 to300 marshalls directed themarchers; while the Cincinnatipolice were rarely seen, theseleaders directed traffic duringthe journey.

The march itself was quiet anduneventful, except for onereported injury to a U.C. coed,struck in the forehead by a rockthrown into the crowd by aspecta tor on Clifton Ave.

Included in the march wereprimarily U.C. students; howevermany faculty members, alongwith a number of administrators,stayed with the march, asmembers of the entire-demonstration.Approximately 1000 students

from Xavier University were alsomarching, though XU studentsmarched together; while U.C.people did the same.

Vigil of Silence-Follows, MarchUpon returning from their march downtown,

students yesterday began a one and' one-halfhour-long vigil of silence in Nippert Stadium.Students were seated on over half of the footballfield, much of the stands, and, initially, allover thatarea of the Clifton Campus.While the marchers maintained silence throughout

much of the vigil, they heard individual speakers andat times, sang songs of peace.In an emotional speech before the' group, Artie

Cohn, newly elected Vice-President of the StudentGovernment, gave the introductory series of remarkswhich dealt with the nature of the march they hadjust completed.During periods of silence, large scrolls were signed

by those present for each of the students killed atKent State Monday. The scrolls are to be sent to theparents and families of the four young people,reportedly "killed by national guardsmen who fired

in to the KSU group Monday."Father Havemeier, leader of the

Newman Center, then' addressedthe. group: ."Keeping silent is a way of

reflecting on our commitment todo something in a non-violentway. We want you to honor thissilence as it will be broken onlyfrom' time to time with a thoughtto make you ponder further,"advised Havemeier.In later remarks before the

group, he continued: "We wouldlike for you to reflect on what wehope for and what we base thathope. This is the hope of doingthings another way. "A third speaker was Michael

Graves, a student from theUniversity Medical School. Gravesalluded to the fact that both across and American Flag were atthe head of the march. Hesuggested this should "teach us alla lesson: We all have variedbackgrounds, yet here we standrealizing our common mistakes."The vigil i~elf' began a little

after 7 p.m., but by 8:30 p.m.,students had become too cold toremain outside; thus, members ofthe Student Governmentannounced an end to the vigil.Some students were opposed,however, and unsuccessfullyattempted to wrest themicrophone f r om thoseannouncing the vigil's end:

Those striking yesterdayscheduled a picket for today,to begin at 7 :30 a.m.

"PEACE NOW" was the cry as students amassed on theUnion Bridge to listen to speakers in observance to the "Day ofCommitment. " Later silence was called for as the throng'proceeded downtown. -photo by Barry Kaplan

Mood ofUC

'A ction .Without -Violence'"The mood of the University of Cincinnati

campus community is one of deploring violence in-America and the world," according to Dr. RalphC. Bursiek , executive vice president of U.C."It is in this spirit," he continued, "that the

University Senate adopted the recommendationsof the Student Senate to cancel classes today andto permit voluntary absence from classes for theremainder of the week.","Understanding the solemn intentions of the

faculty and student body, the UniversityAdministration has determined to carry out therecommendations of the University Senate," hesaid.Dr. Bursiek, in the absence of President Walter

C. Langsam, who is out of town, is the chief U.C.executive officer. He said that in addition to thecancellation of day classes yesterday, no eveningclasses, either on the main campus or at OhioMechanics Institute, would be held last night.Evening classes will meet as scheduled, however, .

tonight and Thursday. Day classes, as proposedboth by the Student Senate and the all-UniversitySenate, which is composed of students, faculty,and administrators, will be on a voluntary basisWednesday (5/6) through Friday (5/8).

on every campus in the nation today. He statedthat at V.C., "instead of individual students,faculty, and administration, we must think ofourselves as one solidified University communitytrying to show our concern over the senselessviolence that is so prevalent in this nation today."Bonner stressed that the upcoming march was

not to be against the national guard or GovernorRhodes, but against the violence, mistrust, andanger that brought about the tragedy at Kent StateUniversity."For this march to succeed, we must be

non-violent. We must have the support of theentire community. We would like to see a massiveoutpouring of concern over this violence."Bonner stated that U.C. is the only university

that has seen any disturbances that has notrequired police action. "We have not had themassive force on this Campus."Bonner discussed the roots of violence in

America, ending by saying, "Whatever the outwardcauses of violence, it occurs ultimately in a singlehuman being whose hatred and resentment breakout into violent physical action."The lack of violence, he believes, is due to

responsible student leaders and concerned facultyand administration, who are all trying to promotea positive and creative response on the part of theUniversity."We must work together and ignore those who

would divide us. Make this walk silent andpeaceful, and you will be surprised at the supportyou will find: from the faculty, theadministration, and the entire community."Good luck today. Peace. God be with you."

"Yesterday, at an urban university in northernOhio, violence broke out that turned intotragedy." Provost for Academic Affairs Thomas N.Bon n e r , speaking for the Universityadministration, began his address to the crowdassembled on the Bridge yesterday.Bonner went on to speak about the fear,

mistrust, anger, and frustration that is widespread

Editorial

The Governor'$ ActionsCondemnation of Governor James Rhodes for his lack of

moral perception in the action of committing NationalGuardsmen to Ohio campuses is certainly in order.In official statements by high level officers of the National

Guard in Columbus, we note that the troops did fire into thecrowd of students, all of whom were committed to endingthe immoral destruction of human beings.Now, four students lie murdered by these "servants of our

governments;" numerous other members of the Kent Stateacademic community are suffering from wounds inflicted bythe soldiers. 'We question the need for Rhodes' actions in the situation

at Kent State, at Ohio State, for if this is the attitude theGovernor will take when campus' disruptions arise, we mightlegitimately fear for our own freedom of expression here.Certainly, the National Guard has been alerted here; with a

sick, repressive attitude like this, some members of ourcommunity could conceivably be shot to death also.In- the case of Kent, those who first destroyed property

could have been handled by civil authorities in the area, atthe same time that administrative officials could -haveexamined the moral presumptions behind the actions, and bymaking concessions, could have averted any need for thepresence of' guard on campus.At Ohio State, were the authorities there perceptive enough

to answer the students' demands, there would have been littleneed for any disruption.What becomes the issue, then, is Rhodes' lackof judgment

when instead of recommending that Universityadministrators meet with students and make offers, he calledout the guard for what appears to be political campaignpurposes.His political tactic, it seems, has backfired; the people of

Ohio can now have little faith in the man that will soon betheir former Governor. '

The Vocal MajorityIt .has become readily apparent that the American

University has become a decidedly political force in the,nation.University Presidents, students, and members of faculties

have publicly expressed total discontent with Nixon's policiesin Southeast Asia. Members of our academic community havealso expressed similar sentiments. They are sincerelycommitted to the cause of non-violence; as such, they deservethe support of the entire community. Their cause is a worthyone; in cooperation with one another, they have expressedtheir concern in ways that are both conducive to their causeand useful in a political lobby sense.Acting upon the initiative of many of these' concerned

students, the newly functioning University Senate has provenitself to be a potentially powerful and meaningful body. Itwas the recommendation of the University Senate, inconjunction with those passed by Senate, as well as theevident student opinion, that caused Executive, VicePresident Bursiek to cancel classes yesterday, and agree to thevoluntary class attendance proposal for the rest of the week.No one can doubt, however, that the force behind the

decision was primarily the University Senate's requests.In its first crisis, the Senate has performed most

impressively. Now, what remains, is for all governing bodieson campus to assert their political force arid demand, thatNixon listen to what is quickly becoming the "vocalmajority. "If he. has any hope for a future in representative politics, it

would be well for him to listen to "us bums":' -

Campuses Across NationWitness Brunt oj Strikes

In protest of recent U.S.intervention in Cambodia and thefatal shooting, Monday, of fourKent State University students,thousands of the nation's collegestudents have, gone on strike attheir campuses, some withadministrators consenting, andothers not. ..The United States Student Press

Association (USSPA) reportedover one-hundred collegeso ff i'cial ly called off classesyesterday including all Ivy Leagueschools, all campuses of theUniversity of California, and mostschools· in the Boston and NewYork areas.The. University of Wisconsin

staged an early rally againstCambodian intervention and laterunits, of the Wisconsin national'guard had to be called to put outtwo fires in campus buildings.At Syracuse University, up-state

New York, two-hundred windowswere broken and street barricadeswere erected to block off thecampus while at the University ofMaryland 'a state of emergencywas declared with policeredirecting traffic away from.highway-I leading to Washington.A crowd of five-hundred

University of Iowa studentschanting "abolish ROTC"marched to the local nationalguard armory. And at VanderbiltUniversity, Nashville, Tennessee,four-hundred persons marched tothe Nashville Federal Building.A fraternity at Ohio Wesleyan

University and the HarvardUniversity Lampoon, in separatestatements, declared they hadseceded from the United States.

At New York University a strikeheadquarters has been set up toplan for the continuance of astrike already affecting thecampus, until the end of theacademic year. Issues of the strikerevolve around the trial of BlackPanther leader Bobby Seale, thefighting in Cambodia and the"oppression of students."This weekend activities are

being planned in Washington. A<demonstration coordinated by theFellowship for Reconciliation hasbeen scheduled in front of theWhite House Saturday. The NewMobilization Commi ttee to Endthe War in Vietnam (New Mobe)and the National StudentAssociation (NSA) havetentatively scheduled an all nightvigil Friday night and a day ofmourning Saturday for the .four

youths killed during a streetdemonstration at Kept StateUniversity.Saturday, NSA issued a

statement in regard to U.S. troopsfighting in Cambodia, calling for anational college strike, "notstriking against universities butstrikes by universities in responseto the war." Delegations-from allover the country are expected toarrive in Washington later this'week to plan a concerted effort ofdissent toward the policies of theNixon administration.Also, the New York University

Bar Association has contactedover eighty schools in an attemptto organize lobbies in Senate andCongressional offices to informlegislators of developments oncollege camp uses in response tothe war in Vietnam.

Candidates' Comments Elicited,In KSU Incident Response

The News Record has madeefforts to contact candidates inthe Senatorial and Gubenatorialprimary races for their commentsconcerning the Kent StateUniversity disturbances.Senatorial candidate John Glenn

was "shocked and literallysickened" by the violence at KentState, according to his presssecretary. Howard Metzenbaum,another Democratic senatorialaspirant announced that he "wasnot certain of the events at Kent

Inve,stigations Underway

State University and reservedcomment until all the facts areknown." Republican Robert Taft,Jr. was not available for comment.Governor James Rhodes,

another Republican senatorialcandidate, referred the NR to theOffice of the Adjutant General forcomment. The remarks of GeneralWegner, Adjutant General'sOffice, are given elsewhere in thisissue.

Roger Cloud and PaulBrown, Republican gubernatorialhopefuls, endorsed Rhodes'sactions and those of the NationalGuard.Representative Donald Lukens,

another Republican candidate forthe gubernatorial nominationsmade the following statement:"T'm fed up with recklessness,anarchy, and now death that afew radicals have brought to ourcampuses. This should make thosepersons responsible for killing andinjuring their fellow students havesecond thoughts about furtherdemonstrations. I urge a thoroughinvestiga tion by the HouseInternal Security Committee toascertain whether ou tside radicalagitators were responsible for theprovocative actions of some, students at Kent."

The Guard then fired 38 rounds Lukens concluded that mostmostly into the air but a few into students at Kent remained a'Yay

A'sst. Adjutant General for Air inthe office of the Adjutant Generalin Columbus made severalcomments on the incidents atKent State to the NR.

Wenger indicated that thesituation at Kent had been tensefor several days; the burning ofthe ROTC building plus the'attempts to impede the efforts ofthe fire officials to extinguish theblaze served only to furtherintensify the situation.

There are times when academicvalues such as reasoned discourse,rational though t, and knowledgegives way to gut-reaction,emotionalism, and superficialactivism. Such a time has arrivedon the University of Cincinnaticampus.A large segment of the student

bod y . has acknowledged andaccepted the notion that someonemust do penance for the tragedyat Kent State on Monday.If condemnation is to be issued,

then it should be realized that asimplistic and paranoid view ofGovernor Rhodes and his NationalGuardsmen 'cannot lead to anamelioration of the problem.Stu den t s s h 0 u I d reservejudgement, although theirrepresentatives in studentgovernment could not summonthe courage to do so, ~on thebehavior of Governor Rhodes'National Guardsmen until all thefacts are ascertained.And, of course, all the facts

Wenger stated that "150troopers were surrounded byapproximately 600 students. Thestudents proceeded to throwrocks and steel railroad spikes atthe troops."

Wenger further indicated thatthe police dept. of Kent hassubstan tiated that "there wassniper fire and that one individualwith news credentials had aweapon and fired it."

by 9 p.m., Monday evening whenStudent Senate met, "nor evenTuesday morning when theUniversity Senate deliberated. Yetthere remains in the studentsenate bill the conspicuous use ofthe word "murdered;" an arrogaritassumption of the role of judgeand jury on the part of ourstudent "leaders."What the students were not

mindful of was the fact that theevents at Kent State are not'indentical to the circumstancessurrounding antecedent events onthis campus, just as the eventsthere are dissimilar to the eventsat Ohio State or Miami.The deaths of four students at

Kent State do not make itincumbent upon us to atone forsuch violence. It should beapparent that, as students make itobligatory upon the university tobecome politically involved, and,considering the lengths to whichstudents are willing to carry their"demands," then reaction breedscounter-reaction so that,

inevitably, you are left with theconsequences of Kent State.A same pattern emerges here at

U.C., however, so that the eventsof Kent State do not becomeremote. Our students, faculty, andadministrators have allowed anatmosphere to materialize -herewhich is not conducive to rationaldiscourse. Why?

Our University leaders have'decided, out of expediency alone,to take the wind out of angeredsails. So they channel thechildishness down legitimateavenues while remaining unawareof the true nature of" theuniversity.

If we are willing, and if it isconsidered paramount to allocatea chorus of condemnation, thenlet us; in addition,' condemnUniversity personnel for turningan academic community into aplayground, which, in the longrun, will encourage similarphenomena to flourish at U.C., asthey have at Kent State. ,

Studen ts Propose 4 Day StoppagePassage of two measures, one

concerning cancellation of classesyesterday, the other. supporting the"rights of these students 'who oppose thisviolence (on campuses) to strike for fourdays," highlighted an emergency StudentSenate meeting Tuesday night. Themeeting was attended by some 300 oftenvocal students ..

I The later bill was a substitute measureafter the defeat of an earlier bill that hadurged "that the university cancel classesfor four days starting May 5, 1970 inmemory of the four students murdered atKent State on May 4."The Senate's recommendation to cancel

classes, which was quickly approved byUniversity Senate and the UniversityBoard of Directors before being put intoeffect yesterday, urged that the day "bedevoted to discussion' of the issue ofviolence. "The measure, sponsored by Student

Body Vice-president Artie Cohn, alsourged "a silent march against violence" tohead "through the city of Cincinnati andto culminate in a vigil of commitment inNippert Stadium." .

Defeat of S. 530, which had urged forthe four-day cancellation of classes,prompted the proposal of S. 531,declaring belief in the right of students tooppose, .by means of a four-day strike,

the violence that has broken out onuniversity campuses throughout thenation.

The Senate. Bill further urged that thestrike be "peaceful and nonviolent," andurged that the Administration "upholdthe voluntary class measures as passed"by the Senate in February. S. 531 waspassed 29-6. .

The meeting was interrupted severaltimes by loud shouting and cheering fromthe crowd that packed the LosantivilleRoom. The audience loudly demandedSenate confirmation of some of theresolutions, and individuals representingopposing factions within the crowdinterrupted and occasionally heckledspeakers when the floor was thrown-openfor debate.

The following was astatement by StudentBody President Mike Dale."What has happened is that the

'University has realized that there areelements in society with which they mustdeal. It is unfortunate that people mustdie before institutions respond to theinsidious violence which pervades oursociety. It is incumbent upon each of usto make personal commitments to stopviolence in Cincinnati, at Kent State, inSoutheast Asia, in the ghetto, andwherever else we find it by whatevermeans we have available."

"By reverting to violence toimpose your views upon otherpeople, you are all a bunch oflong-haired Nixon's," proclaimedone of the many varied speakersat the rally by the Union Bridge

yesterday afternoon.

In between the scheduledfaculty speakers, any student whowished to voice an opinion wasgranted use' of the microphone forseveral minutes. Nearly everyposition on the political spectrumof opinion was represented.

Dr. Herbert Shapiro's addresswas interrupted intermittently byapplause, shouts of "Ride on!"and clenched, outstretched fists.At the conclusion, he received astanding ovation from the crowdof listeners."Within each of us, violence

tends to induce violence," notedDr .. Tom Banta. "We must riseabove primitive tendencies toreact to violence with violence."Discussion was relatively quiet

except for applause and cheers ofspectators as speakers made pointswith which they were in accord. Itwas not until 12:30 p.m., thatsome of U.C.'s more violent voicestried to make themselves heard.One work-shirted girl shouted to

the crowd to stop sitting aroundand do something. Another boybacked her, calling for animmediate and spontaneousmarch, instead of waiting asscheduled until 4: 30 p.m. Theywere quickly quieted by the morepacifistic crowd.Talking, thinking, planning,

gathering enthusiasm andstenciling clenched fists and peacesigns on t-shirts and cardboard alltook place on the Bridgeyesterday afternoon· under theshadow of a flutteringblue-and-white PEACE NOWbanner.

Greeks VoiceSupport For TwoSenate Proposals

by Richard KatzEditor Emeritus

Two-Hundred-and fifty Greeksmassed at the Sigma AlphaEpsilon fraternity house lateMonday night to voice-theirsupport for the bills passed earlierthat night in an emergencymeeting of the Student Senate.The meeting and subsequent

endorsement of the bills by theGreeks was significant because alot of people have considered the. Greek system as Tom Humes,President of IFC pointed out, "asa large part of the silent majoritythat sits back as arm-chairphilosophers for too-long, notparticicating at all."But as Humes further stated,

"when fellow college students arekilled senselessly just a-- fewhundred miles from our campus,we feel we must make our feelingsknown."The motions passed by the

Greeks Monday night however,should not be construed asopposing the war or Nixon'spolicy, said Humes, but "we aresimply and positively opposed toany form of violence and killing as .happened at Kent State onMonday."He con tin ued, "It makes no

di fference whether there isviolence in Vietnam, violence ascaused by the National Guard, bySDS or anywhere else, the fact isthat there are four dead collegestudents only 200 miles fromhere, and we want to doeverything we can to prevent thesame thing from happening at ourcampus."The statement of position which

the Greeks issued as one of theirtwo motions concluded by askingfor all Greeks to contribute their"efforts to the organization of theDay of Commitment AgainstViolence and to the maintenanceof peace on this day."The meeting of the Greeks

Monday night came after eachPresident of the individualfraternity and sorority chaptershad been requested to hold ameeting of their ownorganizations in their houses.Following this the Greeks met

in unison at the SAE house onClifton where they decided ontheir support for the StudentSenate.This morning the Greeks met

once again in the LosantivilJeRoom to decide whether or not tocommi t the remainder of theweek to the movement which hasbegun ..

Copies of the resolution fromthe "enlarged Ad Hoc Committeeof the Faculty," signed by thosewho voted in favor of it, will besent to Governor Rhodes, GeneralDel Corso, and the Universityadministration.Other movements made and

passed were for a condemnationthe war in Southeast Asia andurging immediate withdrawal ofall U.S. troops, a proposal tochange the name of the newRhodes building; and support offaculty involvement in studentactions during the strike.

A proposal was passed for afaculty meeting Thursday toinclude all colleges of theUniversity as well as faculty fromneighboring universities, to decideon future action.
