Students won't fight in Vietnam
ITHACA, N.Y.—(UPI)—Nearly 400 draft-eligible students at Cornell University declared in a newspaper advertisement today they will refuse to be drafted while the United States is fighting in Vietnam.
The full-page ad in today's Cornell Daily Sun listed the names of 391 graduate and undergraduate students whose statement read:
"We the undersigned, having concluded that our government is waging a war of aggression in Vietnam, declare that we will not serve in the armed forces so long as the United States is engaged in this or any other unjust and immoral war. We encourage others to take this position."
The ad was purchased for $97.50 by an ad hoc student group which calls itself "We Won't Go." The ad also listed the names of 170 others not eligible for the draft who support the position taken.
Charging the Johnson administration with "an attempt to impugn the loyalty of those who will not blindly assent" to its Vietnam policy, the signers said they had "no choice but to recognize that dissent will continue to go unheeded until we demonstrate our refusal to participate in this war under any circumstances."
