K-State marches
Led by the American flag and a large sign reading "That the Young may Live, Peace Now," more than 1,500 students of Kansas State University marched through Manhattan Wednesday in support of the Vietnam moratorium.
Anderson Hall, the K-State administration building, was the opening scene of the day's activities. Acting President John Chalmers expressed his own dissatisfaction with the war in Vietnam before a crowd of students.
The carillon atop Anderson Hall tolled as the marchers, eight to fifteen abreast, snaked their way behind a police escort to the city park where several campus ministers conducted a memorial service for the victims of the war.
The demonstrators sat on the grass and listened to the Rev. Bruce Woods, a Baptist campus minister, recite from Ecclesiastes as electric guitars provided music.
No trouble was reported along the nine-block route of the march, although a few groups of hecklers honked their car horns and some Vietnam veterans carried pro-war signs.
At the student union, booths were sponsored by the moratorium committee at which students could write letters to President Nixon or their congressmen.
Mizzou observes moratorium effort
A march from the Fine Arts building to the Federal Building in Columbia, Mo., was one of the main events in the University of Missouri moratorium effort Wednesday.
A photographer for the Maneater, the MU student newspaper, reported the line of marchers spread from curb to curb and was five blocks long. About 4,000 students participated in the march. An open discussion followed at the Federal Building. Signs reading "love it or leave it" were sported by some students.
Moratorium events began at 8:30 a.m. with an open discussion at MU's Jesse Auditorium. Another main event was a candlelight memorial service at 9:30 p.m. which 1,000 students attended.

Wednesday night, a peace dance, sponsored by the Students for Positive Action, raised funds for sending students to the Nov. 15 march on Washington.
Cancellation of classes for the moratorium was left to the discretion of professors, and most arts and sciences instructors allowed their students the day off, said Chuck Newcom, student body president.
