The walk to thefountain seemed fast, and was onlyinterrupted by occassional singing.I was one of the UC students whomarched last Friday to Bucking¬ham fountain to protest the warin Vietnam. I feel that the destruc¬tion of Vietnam and the deaths ofits citizens and our soldiers are notworth the price of victory, whenpeace could be restored to a coun¬try that hasn’t had any for twenty-five years. We would save thecountry, though the action wouldbe politically oriented against us. Isee no stopping point of the escala¬tion of the war. More troops, morebombings, will result in a greaterchance for nuclear war.WHEN THE MARCH arrived atthe fountain we circled around aloud speaker. There a hundredmore UC students joined the origi¬nal group, and altogether about 350people participated. The speechesseemed only mediocre, and theyweren’t helped out by a loudspeaker that required absolute con¬centration in order to hear any¬thing. The seventy counter picketsmarched around us but did nothingto hurt morale and made littlenoise. One counter picket shouted, the end of the line and marchedwith us; it could no longer be com¬pletely called a student demonstra¬tion because Chicago housewivesand workers also marched. At theinduction center, a double picketline of anti-Vietnam demonstratorsmarched in front of one side of thebuilding, while a small group ofpro-Vietnam demonstratorsmarched on an adjacent side.ONE SMALL INCIDENT oc¬curred when the demonstrators,with the permission of the police,moved up next to the building tohear more speeches. Apparentlythe police forgot they gave us theirpermission, and they began shout¬ing, “Civil Disobedience.” Ratherthan get arrested, we continued topicket. Reporters heard this inci¬dent, which we blasted over ourloud speaker system.

GNOSIS support for thevery existence of this referendumindicates that GNOSIS will now letSG spend its time, energy, andmoney (or, I should say, the stu¬dent’s money) in searching for“consensus” on issues which arebest left to voluntary organiza¬tions, which it can’t affect, which,in short, are none of its businessas a student government. In viewof GNOSIS’s role in the promotionOf this referendum, I cannot con¬scientiously remain a member ofthat party; please accept my resig¬nation from GNOSIS: I shall re¬main in the SG Assembly as anindependent.There is no need for me to re¬hearse the numerous and valid ob¬jections to the referendum text it¬self for three reasons: 1) Myprime concern is with the properrole of Student Government. 2) Itseems that GNOSIS, seeing thereaction to the proposal, nowWants to repudiate the position tak¬en by its members on the SG Ex¬ecutive Council in supporting this“deficient” resolution and attemptsto excuse itself on the grounds that“courtesty” to the opposition dic¬tated allowing the referendum tobe presented—to which I can onlysay that “courtesy” should hardlyprevail over principles and cam¬paign pledges. And 3) Most ofthese objections were ably statedby Tom Heagy, Rudolph Perina,and the Maroon editorial dissentersin the Maroon of Friday, October15. I want only to add that I shallurge any and all voters to opposethe referendum and shall supportSG Representative Ken Shelton’sproposal to amend the SG Constitu¬tion to prevent the repetition ofsuch inane antics as consideringquestions not directly affecting UCstudents.GUY MAHAFFEYAnother GUOSIS memberechoes sentiment, resignsOPEN LETTER TO IRVING WAL-DASKYWhen I joined Gnosis, I thoughtthat it believed that the studentgovernment should not attempt totake part in outside politics.

GNOSIS chairman slatesparty stand on voleTO THE EDITOR:The Maroon headline on Fridayannounced that “Both Parties Sup¬port Poll.” This statement hasbeen miscontrued as saying thatGNOSIS urges a “yes” vote on therefrendum. This letter is writtento clarify the GNOSIS position.GNOSIS believes that if StudentGovernment is to take a stand on anon-student issue, it should do soonly after proper campus concen¬sus has been determined. Themechanism of the referendum atleast partially serves this purpose.Unfortunately, however, the ref¬erendum on Viet Nam as submit¬ted to campus contains a numberof severe defects:1) It contains in one package,several independent questions.Many of us agree with parts of thereferendum, but disagree with oth¬ers, or consider the declaration anoversimplification of the issue. Yetwe are forced to either support orreject the resolution as a whole.2) It requires SG to expend atleast $300 in sending a 3-man dele¬gation to Washington. This is mon¬ey that could be better spent inother ways. It is, in any case, arather expensive means of makingour opinions be heard, whateverthose opinions may be.3) It requires SG “to support andassist protest activities against thewar,. . . and. . . to make availableappropriate SG facilities and fundsfor this purpose.” This requires notonly that SG take a position itself,but also that it support indepen¬dent “anti-war in Viet Nam” politi¬cal groups. We do not believe thatSG should in general be in the bus¬iness of supporting and funding in¬dependent political groups.Because of these faults, a nega¬tive vote on the referendum cannotbe construed as support for presentAmerican foreign policy in VietNam, nor does an affirmative votenecessarily indicate agreementwith all its points.GNOSIS representatives in theAssmebly would have moved to rectify these deficiencies, but re¬ceived the proposal only after ithad already been released to theMaroon and to the campus. Thisreferendum was proposed bySPAC, written by SPAC and unani¬mously endorsed by the SPAC cau¬cus as the stand which they be¬lieved in and which they wishedthe campus to adopt. As a matterof courtesy to the SPAC half of theAssembly, the GNOSIS representa¬tives permitted the referendum tobe presented to the campus so thatSPAC could take its case directlyto the student body.GNOSIS has not taken a formalpoisition in this issue. We thereforeurge every student to make hisopinion be known by voting on thereferendum.IRVING WLADAWSKYCHAIRMAN OF GNOSISSG veep urges: vole yesto express dissatisfactionTO THE EDITOR:Probably one of the first laws ofbeing a politician is to pretend tohave anticipated everything. Butsince this is, after all, the Univer¬sity of Chicago and not Washingtonor for that matter the Kremlin Ithink it can still be safely admittedthat none of the people responsiblefor preparing the resolution on thereferendum ballot anticipated thekind of reaction it has received thepast few days.Certainly it was expected thatthe declaration section which is astrong condemnation of JohnsonAdministration policy would bevery controversial. For it was as¬sumed that there were sectors ofcampus opinion which largely sup¬ported the war. But no one foresawthat there would be any particularopposition to the mandate, if onlybecause in the realm of concreteaction the mandate meant compar¬atively little. And if in fact therewas a problem with the resolutionas a whole it was the discrepancybetween the firmness of the dec¬laration and the conventionality ofthe mandate.It’s one thing to agree to a reso¬lution condemning the Universityfor its failure to implement the so¬cial rules report and then to con¬fine the action section to the usual“communicate this to the press”etc. but its quite another to say inthe midst of a war in which one’scountry is involved. We condemnit. We think it’s a mistake. Wethink it’s an apalling waste of hu¬man life. We think its an invasionof another society’s national sov-reignty “and then in response tothe implied question “What areyou going to do about it?” saymerely “send three students toWashington to say so, communi¬cate it to the press, and have mystudent government make avail¬able some of the very marginalresources at its disposal to assistin particular protest activities”.Hardly a clarion call to revolu¬tion?But quite obviously given the na¬ture of this university community,there were some realistic limita¬tions as to what could be placed ina mandate, and it was very muchin response to these limitationsthat the mandate was left as weakand innocuous as it is.But if the mandate is essentiallyweak in its impact why then theopposition? In part it seems dueto a combination of some reallyunfounded inaccurate rumours,and an unfortunate but quite unin¬tentional ambiguity of language inpoint three of the last section.An absense of space precludesadequate reply to all of the mis¬conceptions that students seem tohave as to what passage of the ref-ernedum would imply. But at leastthe questions that have been raisedover the expenditure of funds mer¬its some clarification. It is just nottrue that “thousands of dollars” ofanyone’s money is going to be giv¬en to any organization. Even on itssurface such an assertion is pat¬ently absurd. Firstly, because stu¬dent government doesn’t have thousands of dollars, except for themoney that is tied up in the char¬ter flight program. And further,the relatively small sum whichconstitutes its working budget isfor the most part allocated to itsown committees.Additionally there is a standardprocedure for the allocation offunds which the results of thisreferendum will in no way under¬cut. The Exec makes recom¬mendations for the granting of acertain sum and the .Assemblymust approve it. These appropria¬tions are never made carte blancheto any organization, howeverworthy. They are given to particular gruops earmarked for aspecified purpose. For examplewhile over the past few years SGhas repeatedly given money to Civ¬il Rights Groups, the use has al¬ways been stated (i.e. last Spring’sTennessee Project). Thus in prac¬tice the passage of our resolutionis likely to mean something alongthe lines of $50 free publicity forprograms such as last week's pro¬test discussions.In a very real sense the financialaspects of the referendum are su¬perfluous. What is not superfluousis its probable publicity value. Theresults of Chicago’s referendumare being covered by nationalpress and will be looked upon asa further indication of the studentcommunity’s attitude towards thewar.It is of course true that no singleresolution nor even any two resolu¬tions can accureately embody thewide variety of views that existover an issue as complex as that ofViet Nam. And it is probable thatno one individual is in completeagreement with all of the wordingof the resolution that confronts ustoday. But what people must weighfor themselves is whether the ideasexpressed in the resolution aregenerally in conformity with theirown. And for those who are in sub¬stantive' agreement with the dec¬laration section, I would urge thatyou vote the passage of this ref¬erendum, for this is but anotherway of notifying our society, thatAmerican students are as dissatis¬fied with the war today as we weresix months ago, that the increaseof soldiers has made us no moreresigned to the war, and that weare expressing our profound dis¬content today as we shall monthsfrom now, for our dissent will notbe quelled until the Americantroops have been brought backfrom Asia.CAROLYN RUSTI WOODS.VICE PRESIDENT. SGCHAIRMAN OF SPACGNOSIS claims concernfor national, Viet affairsTO THE EDITOR:An article which appeared in thelast issue of the Maroon discussingthe Vietnam referendum was in¬correct in its comments aboutGNOSIS. First, the GNOSIS plat¬form did take stands on nationalissues, though not on foreign af¬fairs—this is an important distinc¬tion. Also the thinking of the ex¬ecutive committee (of which I ama member) was not that a referen¬dum was necessary in order to pollthe feelings of GNOSIS constit¬uents, but rather that StudentGovernment could not legitimatelyinterpret a consensus for action onVietnam without an express andup-to-date statement of opinion by-all students.JOHN BREMNERProfessor clarifies speechon Negro school problemTO THE EDITOR:The account of my remarks infront of Mr. Beadle's house on Oc¬tober 8 appearing in your issue ofOctober 12 gives a misleadingimpression. Essentially, I said thatthe decision about the quality ofschooling which the children ofWoodlawn were to receive wasbeing made with more attention totheir political powerlessness thanto their existence as humanbeings; that once again the lower- class Negro was being told to waituntil The Man emerges from hisprivate meeting room and an¬nounces what he has decided to do.Thus I thought that fundamentalquestions of democracy and moral¬ity were very definitely involvedand that University administrators— along with everyone else —should consult with their con¬sciences and speak out. I said thatthe Unity plan would provide edu¬cation of elite quality under demo¬cratic conditions for the people ofthe entire community, and I insist¬ed that “the community” includedWoodlawn, that it was both im¬practical and inhumane to think ofa “stable, integrated community”in the midst of a ghetto.Professor Rosen’s letter in yourissue of October 12 defines th«community narrowly as “the Uni¬versity community” and notes thathe finds the Lab School “more at¬tractive than the local publicschools.” I disagree with his defin¬ition and bis preference: the Uni¬ty school - rich in courses and re¬sources, the beneficiary of federalbounty, and a focus of national at¬tention - will be educationally su¬perior and in everyway a betterenvironment for all children. SoProfessor Rosen and I disagree.Fine: we members of the “Univer¬sity community” are in the happyposition of having an abundance ofalternatives. The people of Wood¬lawn do not have the luxury ofsuch choices. All men are broth¬ers: this is never a “peripheral”issue.JESSE LEMISCHASSISTANT PROFESSOROF AMERICAN HISTORYReferendum will polarizestudent Vietnam thinkingTO THE EDITOR:In the October 12 issue of theMaroon, there was an articleconcerning the proposed SG ref¬erendum on Vietnam. SG clings tothe belief that it is thus fosteringcampus thought and discussionupon the Vietnam war. However itseems obvious that the referen¬dum. by its very nature, can neverachieve this rather loftv goal. Thereferendum can only serve to de¬termine S'MPL^ majority opinionconcerning a pre conceived notionof the liberal establishment in SG.Rather than promoting free discus¬sion, it tends merely to polarizeopinion. It is intellectually dishon¬est to give a simp'e (and s'mple-minded) yes or no to a problem ascomplex as this one is.If the vote is close, how can athree-man delegation representingonly one position, claim to speakfor the entire student body, thuscompletely ignoring a responsibleand sizeable opposing faction?Would not the resolution he morerealistic and more accurate if itwere to abandon its dogmaticclaim to represent “We the stu¬dents of the University of Chica¬go,” and substitute “We, the Stu¬dent Government of the Universityof Chicago, representing a majori¬ty of the student body as deter¬mined by plebiscite . . . ?” Per¬haps a resolution beginning withthese words would not be as gran¬diose as the present form, but itwould certainly be less deceitful.As students of the University ofChicago, we find it repugnant thatwe may be represented to govern¬ment officials, the news media,and hence, the nation, by this reso¬lution and its proposed delegation.If the resoltuion is passed with thewording unchanged, we, the under¬signed, therefore must insist thatour names be appended to the res¬olution, indicating our disagree¬ment with the aims and methods ofboth the resolution and f’e delega¬tion.PHILIP r GIRALDIRALPH M.
