Viet Nam group in prison march
Three young men imprisoned in Leavenworth are causing the KU Viet Nam Committee to march in protest again.
The KU Viet Nam Committee last night voted to stage a silent march around the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, in protest against the imprisonment of three former army privates held there. The men, serving terms of three to five years of hard labor, were court-martialed and sentenced after refusing to serve in Viet Nam.
Because the three men were recently moved to Leavenworth to complete their terms, the KU Committee decided the proximity of the prisoners necessitated action on their part. They will stage their march on December 10.
THE COMMITTEE also discussed the impending all-student referendum on Viet Nam, being sponsored by the Viet Nam group, the political science department and the KU-Y. The voting, which will take place in the Kansas Union and Strong Hall, will be held on December 7 and 8.
Results of a test on Viet Nam given in several classes were also announced. The test, designed by members of the KU-Y and the Viet Nam Committee, was an objective test of the student's knowledge of the Viet Nam situation. It was given by three political science professors and an economics professor in their classes, and was also taken by members of the KU-Y Cabinet and Viet Nam Committee.
THE PROFESSORS who administered the test agreed that the average college student should be able to get 70 per cent, at the least, of the test correct. The average score in all classes, however, was 47 per cent. Scores from KU-Y members averaged 56 per cent correct. The Viet Nam Committee's average score was 85 per cent.

Rick Atkinson, Belleville junior and committee member, said: "The results were considered very poor on all accounts. Of course, these scores cannot and should not be considered as completely representative. The people involved in discussion of the issues naturally would know more than the average man."
