Moratorium views show diversity in Lawrence
The national war moratorium is over for now, and feelings towards the day's activities on the KU campus and in downtown Lawrence were diverse.
Several members of the faculty and administration expressed their views to the Kansan.
Ambrose Saricks, associate dean of the graduate school, said he believed the students' participation was a "matter of conscience. There should be no restraint on either side."
Thomas Gale, director of Corbin College, said students were justified in cutting classes because the moratorium is "something they feel very strongly about. I think the Nixon administration obviously wants to end the war as rapidly as it can. The question they now have to decide is how willing they are to pull out instead of making some kind of agreement with the North Vietnamese," said Gale.
Pearson College director Dennis Quinn' said students who were cutting classes were not really showing concern for the issue of the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam.
"One of the reasons I question the validity of it is that it seems to me that it is going to be extremely difficult to measure the
effect or the meaning of the moratorium.
"As I went by a class this morning, there was the instructor in the class and at the back of the room there were three students. Where were the other 20 students? Were they home in bed?

"If they're home in bed, I don't know that that proves anything about their feeling concerning the Vietnam war," Quinn said.
Vincent J. Bilotta, field director for the University of Kansas Alumni Association, said he has not yet received a response from alumni on the moratorium.
For those who have died
"I don't anticipate any response as long as it is conducted in the manner that it is," he explained. "I am especially proud of the peaceful manner, the dignified manner, in which it is being conducted."
Dean of Men Donald K. Alderson said that the large number of people who have participated in the moratorium will surely influence many people. Alderson said he had not seen anything which would make him unhappy with student participation.
