Awareness Week to honor veterans
By HOLLIE B. MARKLAND Staff Reporter
People should not confuse the Vietnam War with the warriors, John Musgrave, a Vietnam veteran, said yesterday.
"Lots of people were opposed to the war, but they realized it's not the same thing. They can still be opposed to policies and be willing to honor dead soldiers like Paul Musgrave, a member of the Vietnam Memorial Steering Committee.
KU Vietnam Memorial Awareness Week, sponsored by the committee, intends to remind students and faculty of the hono, and sacrifice of the people who did not come back from the war, said Tom Berger, a member of the committee.
Berger, who fought in Vietnam in 1966 and from 1967 to 1968, said the Awareness Week was scheduled this week because the committee wanted to link it to Veteran's Day on Sunday.
THE AWARENESS WEEK is to remind people of the enormity of the sacrifice made by those who went to Vietnam, Musgrave said.
During week, films, slide shows and panel discussions will attempt to communicate the experiences of the men and women who served during World War II.
Musgrave, a former Marine who fought from 1967 to 1968, will present a slide show of photographs he and his crew shows while they were in Vietnam.
"There are no professional skills. Mussgave said. They were all taken by men serving their country. They had to be the American experience in Indochina.
"The slides document the men who went there and risked their lives."
"I WAS IN THE Marine Corps at the age of 17, and at 18 I went to Vietnam," Musgrave said. "A lot of people on campus can't remember newscasts from back then. The average age of combat Marines was
18 and the oldest man I fought with was 22. We called him 'Pop.'
Mustgrae, who works for Job Service's disabled Vietnam veterans outreach program in Lawrence, said that since the United States withdrew from the Vietnam War in 1972, the country had tried to forget the war.
"The nation has tried to shovel the war away — and the veterans, too." Musgrave said. "Vietnam veterans have been mistreated by society and by the government. The memorial is one of the best tools for helping heal wounds."
Berger, who will participate in a panel discussion about the war, said that conducting discussions about his war experiences was often painful but rewarding.
The Awareness Week's events include:
- A film and a slide from 7 to 10 p.m. today at Adelson Auditorium of Music. (C) 2008 Warner Bros. Inc.

- A brown bag lunchon from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday in Alcev of the Union Delilectessen. Berger and Musgrave will talk about their experiences in Vietnam and the KU Vietnam Memorial.
- A panel discussion about POWs in Southeast Asia and what can be done to secure their release from 7 to 10 years ago in the Big Eight Room of the Union.
- A film, "Hearts and Minds," from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday in Alderson Auditorium. The film won award in 1974 for "Best Documentary."
- Several short documentary films from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday in Alderson Auditorium. Musgrave's slide show will be presented again.

Judge rejects teen's venue change plea
An associate Douglas County district court judge Friday denied a motion for change of venue in the case of a Lawrence teen-ager charged with aggravated robbery, felony murder and rape in connection with the death of an 80-year-old Lawrence woman.
The judge, Mike Malone, also reaffirmed a previous ruling that oral and written confessions obtained from the teen-ager. Donald Gilligan, 42, WM 218 LB, by the police on Aug. 22, would be allowed as evidence.
Alexander is charged in connection with the Aug. 5 death of Marguerite Vinyard, whose home was located in her home at 2100 Tennessee St.
sexually assaulted and had died of injuries to her head and chest.
The defense's motion to suppress physical evidence that was obtained Aug. 22 was not ruled on Friday. Malone continued the hearing on that motion until 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.
On Wednesday the court also will hear defense motions for a continuance of the trial. Malone is scheduled for 9 a.m. Nov. 26.
Alexander's lawyer, Wesley Norwood, filed a notice of intent to rely on a plea of insanity along with the other motions that were heard Friday. Norwood said that Alexander had undergone a complete mental evaluation and that he would have the results by today.

LEGALIZE FREEDOM
expires 11/30/84
George Washington
Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
Since governments, when instituted, must not violate individual rights, we oppose all interference by government in the areas of voluntary and contractual relations among individuals. People should not be forced to sacrifice their lives and property for the benefit of others. They should be left free by government to deal with one another as free traders; and the resultant economic system, the only one compatible with the protection of individual rights, is the free market.

We, on the contrary, deny the right of any government to do these things, and hold that where governments exist, they must not violate the rights of any individual: namely,(1)the right to life—accordingly we support prohibition of the initiation of physical force against others;(2) the right to liberty of speech and action—accordingly we oppose all attempts by government to abridge the freedom of speech and press, as well as government censorship in any form; and(3) the right to property—accordingly we oppose all government interference with private property, such as confiscation, nationalization, and eminent domain, and support the prohibition of robbery, trespass, fraud, and misrepresentation.
Governments throughout history have regularly operated on the opposite principle, that the State has the right to dispose of the lives of individuals and the fruits of their labor. Even within the United States, all political parties other than our own grant to government the right to regulate the lives of individuals and seize the fruits of their labor without their consent.
We hold that all individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose.
Libertarian Party's Statement of Principles
We, the members of the Libertarian Party, challenge the cult of the omnipotent state and defend the rights of the individual.
