ia appealed for tolerance as Pres
ident Nixon pursues peace ef
forts.
One of the resolutions propos
ed a pullout unless the govern
ment in Saigon begins major re
forms within 60 days.
The other resolutions, intro
duced by Sens. Frank Church (D
Idaho) and Mark Hatfield (R -
Ore.), urged American withdraw
al after a “reasonable interval”
to allow for orderly transition and
to safeguard U.S. troops and
South Vietnamese who might
might choose to leave with them.
All-night session planned
The only definite decisions to
come out of Congress are plans
to keep the House in session all
night on Tuesday, according to
Rep. Benjamin Rosenthal (D -
N.Y.). He said enough speakers
have been lined up to talk
through the night. “I think this
is going to be the largest citizen
participation of its kind in the
history of this country,” he said.
Plans for the Moratorium —
meaning suspension of normal
activities—include rallies, speech
es, marches and religious services
from coast to coast, culminating
in a 5 p.m. candlelight procession
around the White House.
Indications are that some form
of activity connected with the Mo
ratorium will take place in every
state.
Sponsors plan to have 45,000
marchers in the Washington pro
cession. They will be led by the
widow of the Rev. Dr. Martin Lu
ther King, Jr.
Names of war dead will be read
at hundreds of ceremonies in
cluding one in New York’s Wall
Street where financial workers
are scheduled to take part along
with Mayor John Lindsay and for
mer Dep. Defense Sec. Roswell
Gilpatrick.”

Chancellor Glenn Dumke of the
nine-campus California State Col
leges prohibited dismissal of class
es and ordered disciplinary ac
tion against any professors who
disobey.

In Sacramento, Calif., students
planned a 24-hour vigil outside
the home of Republican Gov.
Ronald Reagan. Gov. Dewey Bart
lett of Oklahoma declined to ap
pear at college rallies, but Sen.
Fred Harris (D-Okla.), the Dem
ocratic national chairman, ac -
cepted.
Oregon’s Republican senators
are somewhat divided on the
planned nationwide student pro
test against the war in Vietnam,
scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 15.
Sen. Mark Hatfield has taken
the lead in supporting the “mor
atorium” protest, saying it offers
a “positive, constructive and
non-violent effort to educate the
public” and should have broad
based support.
Packwood cautious
Sen. Robert Packwood has put
strict conditions on his support,
saying:
“If the purpose of the 15th mor
atorium is for students to ring
doorbells and tell the public
what they think about the war
or to get together in a peaceful
protest, then I support it. But if
the protest is to be coercive, seek
ing to force the suspension of
classes, then I oppose it.”
Packwood said he didn’t think
the protesters have the right to
keep nonparticipants from “get
ting instruction for which they
have paid their money.”
Criticisms of the Moratorium
seem to be leveled at groups
such as SDS, who are taking
their own route in protesting the
war. Some citizens feel SDS and
other leftwing groups will use
the day of contemplation for vio
lent demonstrations.
Sam Brown, national organiz
er of the Moratorium, said the
Moratorium had been organized
as a non-violent protest. “We feel
that violence is counter-produc
tive,” he said, but added, “You
obviously cannot have control
over everything that goes on that
day.”
Brown and his committee re
minded people the protest is “not
a strike” but a request for people
to do something — attend mass,
pray, march, discuss or write a
letter to an editor or congress
man.
On the other Oregon campus
es, the question of participation
has been left up to the indivi
dual student and faculty mem
ber.
Nearly every campus in the
state will be involved in some
degree and most are expected to
send delegations to Salem to urge
Gov. McCall to join in support.
At Portland State University,
Pres. Gregory Wolfe said, “It is
my hope that members of the
PSU community will participate
in the events and help demon
strate the concern our academic
community has for peace, social
justice and the fulfillment of
man’s continuing search for free
dom.”
OSU classes optional
Oregon State University took
a position of informal coopera
tion, with classes continuing but
with it understood that univer
sity facilities would be used for
meetings to reexamine this coun
try’s Vietnam activities.
President James K. Sours of
Southern Oregon College said
Wednesday, “The faculty, stu
dents and administration will rec
ognize the Vietnam moratorium
program ... I urge individual
faculty members to cooperate to
the fullest reasonable extent.”
Student participation as well as
class attendance was voluntary,
he said.
At Oregon College of Educa
tion, classes will continue but
professors are expected in many
instances to turn from regular
work and take up the question
of Vietnam.
At Reed College, students plan
a door-to-door contact with Port
landers, urging support of the
planned second moratorium days,
Nov. 14-15.
Programs of talks, antiwar
films, folk concerts, and similar
activities have been scheduled at
the University of Portland, Lewis
and Clark College, Linfield Col
lege, Willamette University, Reed
College and others.
