2,800 have signed Letter of Student Support Goes to Troops in Viet Nam
This Friday a letter bearing about 2,800 signatures of KU students and faculty will be on its way to Viet Nam to the American troops fighting there.
This letter was designed to show American soldiers that the majority of college students support and appreciate the great efforts made by our American fighting men in Viet Nam. The letter is also designed to counter damaging morale-breaking illusions that the soldiers may have picked up upon receiving news of student draft card burnings and anti-Viet Nam war demonstrations.
The letter will be addressed to
Gen. W. C. Westmoreland, commander of U.S. forces in Viet Nam, with the request that he distribute this letter to the troops.
THE LETTER was conceived about two weeks ago by Jay Weiss, Augusta junior. It started out as a ball project in Joseph R. Pearson Hall, but student enthusiasm was so great that the plan was expanded to include other living groups.
"We had absolutely no trouble in getting people to sign," said Weiss, "but we did have a problem getting the copies of the letter to the students." Besides Jim Eller, Leavenworth
junior, also put a great deal of time and effort into the project.
They were partially assisted by seven other members of their hall. Eller said any student who wished add his name to the letter should contact either Weiss or him before Friday.

In 1957, he collaborated with Dr F. B. Exner, Seattle X-ray diagnostician and therapist, in writing a controversial book entitled, "The American Fluoridation Experiment." In it the authors attacked the Public Health Service, a federal agency, for conducting what they called a dangerous experiment (water fluoridation) without the knowledge or consent of all the people involved.
