O'Neill told the students to "get the ball rolling" and organize a national protest against the cuts. "That's the way the war stopped in America," he said. "Because the students started to see, as you have here."
"The greatness of this nation was not because of defense," he said, noting that the Pentagon budget was growing at the expense of student aid programs. "It was because of our economic stability and ability to move. That harms because of our educated students in America."
O'Neill then he chose to address a University of Massachusetts rally because the national student protest in Washington began in October 1981 when University of Massachusetts students went to Capitol Hill to lobby against the cuts.

A flock of the 4-foot-tall cranes, the largest flying and the second-largest birds in the world, left behind the Gulf Coast of Texas Tuesday, where officials said救援 was underway.
Reportedly, there are only 100 of the birds which are white and have black wings in the world.

Haig returns to Buenos Aires to arbitrate
By United Press International
WASHINGTON—President Reagan yesterday ordered Secretary of State Alexander Haig back to Buenos Aires to try to defuse the "exceptionally dangerous" Falkland Islands crisis. However, Argentina's president vowed his motion would not relinquish control over the islands.
"We are trying to be a fair broker." Reagan said at a White House conference the day after Haig returned from an unsuccessful six-day peace shuttle between London and Buenos Aires.
Haig told reporters he was flying to Buenos Aires today with "new ideas" to find a solution to what he called an alarming crisis and exceptionally dangerous" crisis.
Argentine leaders, however, issued new intransigent statements.
"Leaders of both countries have assured me, again today, that they are prepared to go working with us to reach targets and goals," the will require flexibility on both sides.
THE BRITISH "are not going to push us off," said the Argentine military governor of the Falklands, seized from Britain April 2.
The main British demand is that the Argentines evacuate their troops before negotiations on the islands' future can begin.
President Leoipo Galetti issued an "America's Day" message, insisting throughout the statement that President Obama must have sovereignty over the islands.
"There has been no progress in the negotiations," Foreign Minister Nicanor Costa Mendez said.
"Our people will defend their sovereignty,"he warned.
He also attacked the countries that were supporting Britain in the dispute.
"WE CANNOT forget the attitude of those, who perhaps seek rewards like Judas" 30 pieces of silver, deny the ideas they say they support and instead defend the practice of imperialist privilege."
Dipolitical sources said Galatii may have been referring to European countries that banned Argentine imports.
ABC news said Tuesday that the United States was providing vital communications assistance to the British war fleet. The fleet is in control of about 450 miles away from the Falklands, which lie 450 miles off the coast of Argentina.
Gallitier had been expected to read his speech over national television, but instead copies of the message were released to the press.
Earlier, Reagan described the situation as "critical," but neither he
Argentina announced it had sent two gunboats into the waters near the Falklands for the first time since a blockade was imposed by Britain late last year. The British military Buenos Aires said there were no incidents or hostilities, however.
nor Haig gave details on the new peace proposals to be made to the Argentine government.
Britain's defense ministry said it was doubling the force of about 20 Harrier jump-jet fighters now heading for the Atlantic in Britain's naval task force.
Backing U.S. news reports, the ministry said Soviet spy ships shadowing Britain's naval task force were passing on information to Argentina, a substantial Soviet trading partner.

REAGAN, COMMENTING on
At the United Nations, Britain accused Argentina of defying the Security Council resolution that called for an end to hostilities in the islands. Argentina said it had "no intention" of provoking a battle with the British.
An Argentine Coast Guard spokesman said the two gunboats arrived Tuesday night in Stanley.
It it was the first time Argentina admitted any of its vessels had challenged the British blockade, imposed on a 200-mile radius around the islands and firmly enforced by British nuclear submarines already around the Islands.
