WASHINGTON—Sen. Robert Dole, R-Russell, did not endorse, support nor participate in the national war moratorium Wednesday.
Dole told the Kansan he did not give any speeches in conjunction with the moratorium. "I am observing the national moratorium by visiting wounded soldiers in Walter Reed hospital," he said.
"I am confused as to the purpose of the demonstrations; whether they are against President Nixon, his administration, our present involvement in Vietnam or any future military involvements," Dole said.
"Everyone has a different reason for participating in the moratorium because each individual has his own viewpoint of the war," Dole said. "If the students are demonstrating against war in general, this is fine; I don't like war myself. But I detest those who are demonstrating against our country."
Dole added he believed the majority were sincere in their feelings of protest. "But the demonstrations are misdirected. Instead of being directed against Nixon or the present administration, they should be directed against Hanoi. Hanoi has been responsible for the 40,000 American deaths in Vietnam," Dole said.

convinced Nixon is trying to end the war. "Perhaps not quickly enough, but who can be the judge of that," he said.
Dole said he was pleased about the peaceful observance that took place on the KU campus Wednesday. "I would like the students at KU to recognize it takes two parties to fight the war. The United States would end the war today if Hanoi would cooperate." Dole said.

Town meeting lively
With one vigorous question, a Lawrence woman transformed a dry town meeting on the Vietnam war into a spirited debate over the community versus academe Wednesday night at South Junior High School.
The meeting, which featured four University of Kansas professors, ground on through a discussion of the moral question of the Vietnam conflict until the woman, who identified herself as a Mrs. Pratt took the floor.
"I'm obviously not a student," she said, "but today I spent a lot of time on the Hill and I felt unat-home among all the young people."
"I waited until tonight to hear the townspeople talk, but so far only members of the university have said anything," she continued. "By God, if nobody else!" talk. I will."
She proceeded to do just that, condemning the professors and students who had kept the discussion on a philosophical plane.
"Self interest, not high principles, govern people's condition," she asserted. "Only secondary is the flag of morality of ethics."

"Lots of people in this town who aren't intellects and can't express themselves well are for peace; not for principles but for practical good."
Explaining that she had a son who had just graduated from college, she said, "I don't want him to go to war. That's the reason I'm for peace."
"So I would like to see the non-university people say why they came tonight."
One woman dressed in black with white peace symbols stenciled on the sleeves rose to counter Mrs. Pratt's argument, saying, "There is one principle we believe in and that is 'Thou Shalt Not Kill.' That is ostensibly why we are in Vietnam: to protect the South Vietnamese."
Her comment was debated by other members of the audience as the panel of professors listened
FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
HOUSTON, Tex. (UPI)—The price of admission was one penny when five of the seven Ringling Brothers opened their first show.
Ninety-seven years later, their heirs sold Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus to Irvin Feld and Judge Roy Hofheinz for more than $10 million.

intently for the rest of the program.
The subject of Vietnam was summed up by one student who said, "I see something we all see: the most dangerous thing on the American conscience today. That is that our society is rent apart. As such, the United States has no business trying to unite another people."
"The real reason for getting out of Vietnam is to mend our own fences."
The rest of the audience seemed to agree.
