Vietnam veteran Ron Phillips speaks at an EMU courtyard rally Friday, commemorating the
United States' withdraw! Irom the Vietnam War.
Hundreds rally against draft
About 400 people rallied in the EMU courtyard
Friday afternoon, commemorating the seventh
anniversary of the Unites States' withdrawal from
Vietnam — and calling for “no more draft "
“Why is there no uproar?” Vietnam veteran
Ron Phillips asked the crowd "Why aren't there
voices asking Why?' Why aren't there people
saying, No more?' ”
Those who started the Vietnam War are the
ones trying to forget it, said Phillips, his voice
breaking several times "Now they want to do it all
again "
"Some people say we have no memory of
Vietnam," said Christina Cowger of the Coalition
Opposing Registration and the Draft "But that's
not true I think this rally today shows that people
do remember, and they don't want it to happen
again "
Draft counseling is becoming more important
as the government begins to prosecute
unregistered men, she said Between 600,000
and 700,000 eligible men have not signed up,
Cowger estimates But the fear of prosecution
may be greater than the actual threat, she added.
“Only a handful of people will be prosecuted.
And they’ll be used only as examples,” Cowger
said
The White House is a threat to peace, said
Marion Malcolm of Clergy and Laity Concerned.
"I only hope that the spirit that ied us into the
Indochina wars will not spread to El Salvador, the
Mideast and Europe," Malcolm said
Pres Ronald Reagan has a “good guy, bad
guy Hollywood mentality,” she added. “It is
dangerous, and it is no joke.”
The rally — sponsored by CORD and OSPIRG
— opened with "Where Have All the Flowers
Gone” and "We Shall Overcome,” songs made
popular during protests in the late 1960s.
Those interested in draft counseling can call
CORD at 485-4611.
