  • Thursday, April 4, 1968 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 5 Campuses To Be Hit By Anti-War Demonstrations GUttK ItAV By PHIL SEMAS CPS—The campus anti-war movement, which has been fair= ly quiet since November, will begin to pick up speed again in a series of protests planned tluM*ghout-the munth_of April. The demonstrations will begin Wednesday, April 3, with, Uie third national anti-draft protest organized by Uie Resis tance, the young men who have turned in their draft cards and refused to co-operate with the Selective Service System. A Resistance spokesman in New York said they expect draft cards to be turned in in most major cities on April 3. The leaders say the number of young men may match or exceed Uie first resistance day on October 16, when about 1,000 men turned in or burned their draft cards. The spokesman said the removal of deferments for graduate students has generated new interest in the Resistance movement Except for the Resistance, most of the anti-war activity will take place at the end of the month during the "ten days to shake the empire," announced last December by Students for a Democratic Society, Mast of the demonstrations, scheduled for April 21-30, will be organized locally but there will be nation-wide demonstrations on two days, April 26 and 27. April 26 has been set as the day for an international student strike in the U.S. and several foreign countries. The strike was called by a conference of 900 student activists from the U.S. and Latin American countries. It is aimed at three issues; the war in Viet- nam, the draft and racial oppression. Karen CaganoftheNewYork- based Student Mobilization Committee, which is organizing the strike, said groups on about 100 campuses have agreed to participate. She said about half those schools are in the New York area, including Queens College, Columbia Uni= versity, City College of New York and Rutgers University. In other areas, Boston University, Stanford, San Francisco State and probably Uie Univer= sities of Chicago and California at Berkeley will participate. Miss Cagan said that on most of these campuses Uie strike is being supported by a wide range of groups, including antiwar groups and, on many campuses, Uie student governments. Reports from some campuses, such as Stanford, however, indicated that the strike idea was being met with a cool reaction among the general student body. Besides focusing on national issues, some of these campus protests will also be directed at local issues. On April 27 die Fifth Avenue Peace Parade, a coalition of peace groups which organized Uie April 15, 1967 demolitions in New York and San Francisco, is holding demonstrations in at least 12 cities. The largest will be in New York where there will be two parades culminating in a rally in Central Park. Other cities included in the demonstrations will be Chicago, San Francisco, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, Los Angeles, Austin (Tex.), Minneapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Seattle and several smaller cities in New York and New Jersey. The whole "ten days to shake an empire" effort and particularly Uie student strike have already been attacked as "Communist" by House Un-American Activities Committee Chairman Edwin E. Willis (D-La.), who said in a recent House speech, that the strike was "originated promoted and consolidated by Communists," The strike has also been criticized by some within the anti war movement as being contrary to grass-roots organizing against Uie war. But SDS, which is the main advocate of such grass roots organizing has endorsed Uie strike as part of its ten days of demonstrations, most of the rest of which la aimed at local efforts. Among die other anti-war activity planned for April: —In connection with the "ten days to shake the empire," the Southern Student O.-ganizing Committee has called the "southern days of secession," which will be a similar series of local demonstrations held throughout Uie South, probably mostly by black students. —Resist, the group dial in ■ eludes Vale Chaplain William Sloan Coffin and pediatrician Benjamin Spock and which has been supporting draft resistance by younger men, has called for "academic days of conscience" on April IS and It;. They expect faculty members and students from more Uian Kill campuses to participate. Monroe Engel, Harvard English professor and eo-ordinator of the demonstrations, said they will all be organized locally and will differ from campus to cam- pur. He said his organization is making a special effort to reach campuses where there has been little previous antiwar activity and is also encou raging all the campuses to include a commemorative service for Americans and Vietnamese killed in Uie war -Dr Martin Luther King's poor people's campaign, which will bring poor people from throughout die United States for a prolonged camp in in Wash ington "until something is done" about their grievances, is not specifically directed against die war, but one argument which King and his followers will undoubtedly advance is Uiat too much is being six'iit on Uie war and not onough on domestic needs. It is possible Uiat Some anti-war groups may hold demonstrations in connection with the p<x>r people's can -The trial of S|)ock, Coffin, and Uie other three men who have been arraigned in Boston for counseling draft resistance is expected to begin some time in April.
