COLLEGE PARK ,
MD. Harvard Professor John
Kenneth Galbraith told NSA
delegates here Saturday night
that a buildup "of the strongest
possible public persuasion" is
needed to end the war in Viet
nam. -
Galbraith also said that the
United States should stop bom
bing North Vietnam, abandon
pacification of villages and begin
negotiating a peace set
tlement. His call for public persuasion
to end the war is more moderate
in its opposition to the
Administration's policies than
are those tactics proposed by
some student leaders at the con
vention here.
Galbraith said he didn't have
much faith in a third party can

Delegates should work next year
to write a very strong peace
plank in the party platform.
Galbraith was questioned by
several student leaders who
want to select and support an
opponent to President Johnson
in Democratic primaries next
year. He was also asked his opi
nion on running Johnson's name
on the ballot in Wisconsin with a
simple alternative "No", on the
ballot. Galbraith said he was not
familiar with the Wisconsin
situation, but- maintained that
the best tactic is "to get
delegates (to the national con
ventions ) who are un
compromisingly against the
war."

COLLEGE PARK, MD.-An
NSA Convention is like nothing
else in the world. It is serious
and fun, radical and con
servative, intellectual and
simple, bearded and clean
shaven, finitely precise and
massively confusing.
When 1200 students get
together anything can happen
and anything does. For soe it is
two weeks of fun and games; for
others it is two weeks of endless
probing of academic problems.
While one group discusses
abolishing freshmen orientation,
another group discusses Sgt.
Pepper and his psychedelic
band.
If Black Power holds rabid in
terest for one group, the situa
tion of the CIA in Iran holds
equal interest for others. While

at" the convention who have
never heard of Vietnam," he
said, "but I urge you to support
those candidates who have
spoken out against the war, and
I those who have defended this
'conflict should know t h e
price."
The government of South Viet
nam came under special attack
by Galbraith. He said the U. S.
should stop deluding itself into
believing that Premier Ky is or
perhaps will be a democratic
leader.
Noting that President Johnson
had compared Ky's difficulties
with those confronting
Americans in 1776, Galbraith
said: "That's a very hard blow
to George Washington." He
termed the Ky government as a
"bunch of corrupt millitary
adventurers."
Speaking about the claim that
the U. S. has a commitment in
Vietnam Galbraith said that his
interpretation of that claim is
that the U. S. has made a
mistake and feels that it must
stay there and make it right.
"We are impelled to reinforce
our errors."
Galbraith said that university
students have always been
politically active and that now is
the time to become even more
active.
"Student energy js manifestly
excessive," he said. "May I sug
gest that it be directed toward
support of the anti-war move
ment." Wilson To Head

4 Days Of Talk Get
No Stress Answer
By JOE SANDERS
COLLEGE PARK, Md.-The
varied environments of United
States college campuses prevent
News Analysis
a legislated solution to the pro
blem of student stress and
suicide on campus.
Or so participants in four days
of informal seminars decided
here at the NSA National
Congress in College Park, Md. It
was decided that the 16 colleges
receiving funds to study student
stress, including UNC, would be
given the responsibility of shar
ing their findings with other
campuses.
"The Spark", with the headline
"The Shit Hits the Fan"; and
containing another expose about
CIA-NSA cooperation.
An embarrassing moment,
Ahen a plenary session realized
that a newly formed committee,
the Committee for International
Action is abbreviated CIA. (It
was changed to I AC.)
At least a dozen mini-skirts
too short for words, worn by
girls who didn't wear bras.
An educational reformist
describing at 3-hour length how
to abolish the educational in
stitution and concluding "Let's
not kid ourselves. . .what I'm
saying just will not work."
Asking someone where a
certain building was and have
him tell you "It's the red brick
building with the white col
umns," (even the trees were red
brick with white columns.).
Rain, and more rain and no
umbrellas.
Carolina delegate Bob
Powell strolling through the rain
using an empty Budweiser case
for an umbrella.
An endless barrage of paper
airplanes on the convention
floor.
A University Chapel with a
red light in the steeple, blinking
while a prospective couple enter
to get married.
The continual cry of "What
are we voting
for now?"
(Continued on Page 2)
o
Even this decision was not put
into the form of legislation,
however.
It became evident after a
short time that delegates from
each campus had their own con
ception of stress and its allevia
tion. Delegates from the larger
campuses seemed to emphasize
the vastness of the bureaucracy
while the smaller campuses'
representatives were concerned
with dorm rules and overem
phasis on grades.
So at best the value of the
seminar was individual: if one
picked up a good idea for help
ing students on his campus, fine.
A motion to compile statistics on
suicide rates and mental health
programs on various campuses
was ignored, however.
