Demonstrations bring KU reaction
By Robert Entriken Jr.
Kansan Staff Reporter
"I think the establishment went overboard," said one KU student about the anti-draft demonstrations in Washington Saturday. Yet a KU professor credited the "judicious use of authority" in controlling the demonstrations.
Thousands of anti-draft and anti-war protestors massed at the Pentagon over the weekend with the avowed intent to commit acts of civil disobedience by choking Pentagon hallways and entrances with demonstrators.
More than 2,500 soldiers were called in to protect the Department of De'ense headquarters and over 150 demonstrators were arrested—mostly on charges of disorderly conduct.
"Being a G.I. myself," he said, "I wouldn't like to fight my own people."
"As far as I can see, the government was right in keeping the demonstrators out of the Pentagon," said John Jewell, Philadelphia, Pa., graduate student. "However, I think the government over-reacted to the threat—it could have been handled more wisely."
"They wouldn't have had the trouble they had if they hadn't called in so many troops," said Dennis Anderson, Albuquerque, N.M., junior. "The people were going to have a peaceful protest at the Pentagon when the Marines showed up. I think the establishment went overboard."
Another student, who asked to remain unidentified since he is also on active duty with the Air Force, remarked that he thought the troops were a bad reflection on the American public.
The airman went on to say while he didn't like to see such demonstrations occur, because he felt they would be used as propaganda by the "other side," he did like to see them because "it might make people think."
"It was grotesque," he said, "to have the Pentagon defended from the citizens of our country by paratroops, and it was grotesque that such violence occurred."
Hamilton Salsich, assistant instructor in English, described the occurrences in Washington as "grotesque."
Harold Riehm, assistant professor of political science, also felt that the violence "casts unfortunate reflection on what I think is a totally justified movement."
"I was pleased," continued Riehm, "that there was no greater outbreak of violence. This is a credit to the judicious use of authority of those maintaining the peace."

Then he would hurry over to a resting player, shouting instructions and encouragement.
In the closing minutes of the game, when victory was assured, Rodgers started thinking of other things.
"Get off the field as soon as the game is over," he yelled to players along the sidelines. We've got to get home so you boys can rest."
After the game, when the press fired questions at him, Rodgers answered while rummaging through another box lunch.
"I just don't like meat sandwiches," he said, tossing a white sack aside and picking up an apple.
While all other Jayhawks were enjoying the victory over Oklahoma State, Rodgers was thinking of how he could beat Iowa State next Saturday.
