'Affirmation Viet Nam' Group Holds Rally;Plans More Soon ATLANTA, Oa (Cl’S) ~ A crowd estimated at 10,000 sat in a drizzling rain in Atlanta's new stadium to hear Secretary of State Dean Husk tell them that peace rested with Hanoi, not in Washington This was the big rally promts ed by a group called Affirmation Viet Nam. The group was origin ated on the campus of Emory University and spread across the state so that it reached 54 cam puses. The sponsors of the organiza tion announced Sat , Feb 12. that they now plan to organize a na tionwide erie of rallies in sup port of I S. foreign policy. "We want to show foreign countries that Viet nicks and peace marchers don't speak for the great majority of college students," Rcma M. Sutton Jr., and Emory senior, told reporters before the rally. He is general chairman of the organization. Secretary Rusk praised the students for organizing the rally and pledged that the United States would not ' retreat from its commitment to South Viet Nam." $80,000 Raised "The integrity of the pledged word of the United States is the principal pillar of peace around the world," the secretary said Sutton said that with the big rally behind it, the organization would now commit its staff and "resources" to helping “colleges in other states organize similar rallies " In addition to adding 54 affi liate groups, the organization raised more than $80,000 in con tributions from corporations and individuals, plus a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that would make the contribution Dunning to Speak About Eskimos "On Eskimo Residents" will be the topic of R. W. Dunning, professor of anthropology at the University of British Columbia, at 4 p.m. today at the Student Union Dads’ Room. Dunning has written a number of articles from his research on the Eskimos and Indians of Northern Canada. His lecture is sponsored by the Department of Anthropology.

Tax Exempt They began gathering support on their campus and from local businessmen The staff now num bers over 200 Sutton flew to Washington and talked with White House aides and with the International Rev enue Service. He was told that an application for contributions to be declared tax exempt usual ly took 30 to 90 days. Sutton said, "I then called a colonel in to the Vice President’s office— 1 don't remember his name — and we got tax exempt status in a week.” Meanwhile, three national firms with headquarters in the Atlanta area—Sears. Roebuck and Co.; Cluctt, Peabody and Co.: and Lockheed-Georgia Co.—made ex- j ecutive planes available for the students and their speakers. All but one of Atlanta's many banks gave $1,000 each. Delta Airlines gave $800 and the Geor gia-Power Company and the Southern Company, a utilities holding companv, each gave $1, 000. Rob Hope Interested was also high among politicians. Georgia Gov. Carl Sanders was among the first sign ners of the petition as was Geor gia's Sen. Richard Russell, chair man of the Senate’s Armed Ser vices Subcommittee. Sanders also gave $1,000. In Hollywood, comedian Bob Hope, fresh from his Christmas tour of Viet Nam, prepared a 30 minute program that was widely known in Georgia to drum up support. Hardly any potential contribu tor failed to recognize at least one name on the committee’s list of sponsors which includes such political enemies as Ralph Mc Gill, publisher of the Atlanta Con stitution, and Roy Harris, who publishes a segregationist’s week ly in which lie refers to McGill as “Rastus.” Support at Emory, the home base for the group, has been strong but not unanimoas. Some students who opposed the war complained because the univer sity gave the group a 15-room office complex without charge. The Rev. Lon B Chcsnutt, the resident Methodist minister at Emory, a Methodist school, said he and some of the faculty were surprised that the government gave tax exempt status to an or ganization "which is so obviously a political movement." The com plaints have affected the\ sup port very little, however Sutton said the organization had become so large that he found he didn’t have time for classes any more. "Now I’m just auditing courses,” he said “I realize that makes me eligible for the draft, but that’s okay. 1 couldn’t be happier over what we’ve done.” MCDONALD'S 1417 VILLARD East Edge of Campus Job Opportunities Student* may contact the Placement Of. her in Susan Campbell Hall for further in formation about the following job opportu March 3 -Douglas timed Nuclear, Inc., Phyiicirt* all decree level*.
