Campus campaign (Continued on page 14)
Mark Edwards, Emporia junior and Progressive Student Alliance presidential candidate said "it is not the function of our political party to take a stand on this issue. We are not political cowards as Awbrey stated. We are political realists.
In response to the veterans continued pro-Vietnam statements, Awbrey said, "You obviously don't know what you're talking about."
A heated debate on the Vietnam war broke out last night during the discussion sponsored by the American Baptist Campus Center for the campus political candidates.
Heated debate on Vietnam war
Dave Awbrey, Hutchinson junior and Independent Student Party presidential candidate verbally fought a Vietnam veteran in the audience and referred to the other candidates as "political cowards" for not taking a stand on the war.
In all, there were three Vietnam veterans in the audience, but only one spoke against Awbrey's stand on the war. The veteran stressed to Awbrey that the United States would lose more men by withdrawing than by staying.
We know what we can affect."
Edwards said he'd encourage any student to take a stand on the Vietnam war, but that it is a misuse of the office of president of the student body to voice your stand on the war.
A new graduate coalition has challenged the Independent Student Party (ISP) slate of candidates for Graduate School Student Senate seats.
Rusty Leffel, Prairie Village junior and Campus Coalition presidential candidate, said it was wrong to waste the discussion time arguing about the Vietnam war. "We should have spent the time discussing issues within our sphere of influence," he said.
Leffel said the Student Senate could not pass a resolution to end the war in Vietnam. "We recognize clearly the issues in this area are of concern, but we must take steps as individuals, rather than as political candidates, if we are to influence anything."
The College Coalition and the Oliver College Coalition are affiliated with the presidential Campus Coalition. Friday's Kansan reported them to be independent coalitions.
The group, calling itself the Graduate Student Alliance, today issued a detailed platform calling for Graduate School reforms.
