SPU Plans Week-long Vigil; Hopes ROTC Men Will Quit
By Joan McCabe
A round-the-clock vigil by the Student Peace Union (SPU) will begin at 7 a.m. Monday in front of the Military Science Building.
Tentative plans are for the vigil to continue for one week with each shift involving one to two persons and lasting two hours, with the exception of the first shift which will be two and one-half hours in length.
The vigil will have a three-fold purpose, Charles Hook, Lawrence sophomore and president of the SPU, said.
First, the reason for holding the vigil at the Military Science Building is that the group hopes to convince members of the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) to "drop out," he said.
They also seek to draw attention and interest to both their group and the Vietnamese situation.
Lastly, an official statement of the SPU and a petition will be presented. The petition is to be sent to President Lyndon B. Johnson and reads as follows:
*BECAUSE WE* believe that the war in South Viet Nam is serving
neither the best interests of the Vietnamese people nor the cause of democracy;
"Because we believe expansion of that war will pose a grave threat to world peace and the survival of mankind;
"Because we believe all peoples of the earth, including both Americans and non-Americans, ought to have the right to shape their own destiny and their own way;
"WE HEREBY REQUEST that you (the president) immediately halt all military action directed against the government and people of North Viet Nam;
"That you seek a cease-fire in South Viet Nam;
"That you seek an agreement between all interested nations to safeguard North and South Viet Nam from outside interference and internationally guaranteed neutralization for all of Southeast Asia; and
"That you issue an immediate call for a worldwide conference to which every nation must be invited to consider ways through which the United Nations can resolve its present crisis and be strengthened to become a realistic and powerful expression of
mankind's common interest in preventing war and to maintain the peace and freedom from foreign intervention of all peoples everywhere."
Copies of the petition will be attached to the official statement with space provided for student signatures.
