Moratorium information distributed
Literature concerning the Oct. 15, 1969 Moratorium was distributed Tuesday at the Kansas Union. Though the campus shivered in record cold temperatures, Gov. Robert Docking and Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers warmed to the Moratorium by announcing support of it.
Faculty discuss war
"Vietnam Withdrawal" will be the subject of a public town meeting at 8 p.m. today in South Junior High School, 2734 Louisiana.
The Lawrence October 15th Committee is sponsoring the meeting where members of KU's faculty will give their views on different aspects of our involvement in Vietnam. After the talks, a general discussion period will be held.
Charles Oldfather, associate dean of the law school, will speak on the legal and moral responsibility of dissent.
Richard Ruppert, associate professor of economics and Arthur Katz, professor of social welfare, will discuss the results of the Vietnam war on the nation as people.

Katz said that brutalization is becoming so commonplace because of TV and radio communication that people think nothing of killing.
"Young people who are directly affected by the draft feel betrayed by the older generation, meaning the government and political leaders," he said, because a responsibility is imposed on them to enter the war and take part in killing or being killed.
Besides evening discussions of involvement, literature on Vietnam will be distributed all day along Massachusetts Street by Mrs. Wes Santee, 1656 Indiana St. and Mrs. Bob Charlton, 101 Pawnee St. and other members of the Lawrence October 15 Committee.
The public is urged to attend and become interested and active in the cause of the Moratorium said Mrs. Tom Moore, 1007 Alabama.

Medley said debate squad members under the direction of Mrs. Joyce Dana will be staging debates on the Vietnam moratorium. English classes will go to the auditorium to hear the debates and then will return to their classrooms to discuss the matter among themselves.
The social science classes will discuss the war and other matters which they deem appropriate concerning Vietnam, he said.
Medley said that teachers of classes other than English and the social sciences were free to use their time for regular classwork or to plan an "activity appropriate to the theme of the day." Medley explained students might learn to write and submit
