National Group Urges Petitions
And Rallies Supporting Viet Nam.
(Editor’s Note: The following!
was received from The National
Student Committee For The De
fense of Viet Nam.)
Dear Campus Editor:
The college-age students of the
United States have been badly
criticized in recent months for
their attitude toward the Viet ]
Nam issue. This criticism has
resulted from the unfortunate
wide - spread publicity given to
the small, noisy minority of stu
dents who have been opposing
the American defense of Viet
Nam.
(Consequently, Young Republi
cans, Young Democrats, and In
dependents have come together
to form the new bi-partisan Na
tional Student Committee for the
Defense of Viet Nam. This new
student committee has no asso
ciation with any extra - party
political organization of either
the right or the left. Our sale
purpose is to mobilize college
students in a concerted program
of responsible action in support 1
of American resistance to Com-s
munist aggression in Southeast
Asia.
Specifically, we will engage in
a number of activities on the
campus level. First, our com
mittee intends to distribute and
collect petitions supporting the
United States’ defense of Viet
Nam. The enclosed petition can
serve as a guideline to those
campuses on which no petitions
are presently being circulated. If
your college already has dis
tributed petitions on behalf of
American policy in Viet Nam,
we would appreciate your indi
cation to us of the number of
students who have signed. At
the end of November, we plan
to announce nationally, the total
number of student signatures fa
voring the American commit
ment to the people of South
Viet Narn.
Secondly, we are urging col
lege campuses, especially during
the period from November 22 to
December 10, to engage in a
e r i e s of rallies supporting

American policy in Viet Nam.
If you feel that it is possible
for your university to hold such
a rally during' this period, please
let us know the date for the
rally and any information you
might have as to its nature.
Thirdly, we plan to distribute
educational materials to college
campuses explaining this coun
try’s position in Viet Nam.
Please let us know if we can
be of assistance to you in this
area.
Finally, we urge students on
your campuses to send Christ
mas cards to our soldiers in
Viet Nam. You can address
these cards in care of the World
Affairs Forum, Brigham Young
University, Provo, Utah. The
cards must reach Brigham
Young by December 1, if our
soldiers are to receive them on
Christmas Day.
We welcome your cooperation
and assistance in this bi - par
tisan, national program to show
the American people that the
new student radicals do not
speak for our generation in their
irresponsible opposition to our
country’s policy in Viet Nam.
The Student Committee For
TJie Defense Of Viet Nam states:
1. We believe that the war in
Viet Nam is part of a general
Communist effort to dominate
all of Southeast Asia. ^
2. We believe that the cause
of the war rests clearly with
Communist leaders in Hanoi,
Peking, and among the Viet
Cong.
.3. We believe that the so-
called “peace demonstrators”
who are opposing our role in
Viet Nam are encouraging the
Communists to continue their
aggressive actions in South Viet
Nam and, in turn, all of South
east Asia.
4. We believe that the over
whelming majority of young
Americans join us in supporting
the efforts of our government to
oppose Ck)mmunist aggression in
Viet Nam.
Fires Destroy
Two HonuToiniiiji;
Floats On Weekend
Two fires interrupted the reg
ular activities during ACC’s
Homecoming weekend. Both fires
destroyed floats that had been
part of the Homecoming parade
on Saturday.
The first fire destroyed the
Sigma Phi Epsilon float Saturday
night. The fire broke out some
time during the Varsity - Alumni
basketball game, and completely
destroyed the float as well as
the flatbed which supported the
float. The Sig Ep float had won
the “best overall float” award
in the parade that morning.
The second fire destroyed the
Tri Sigma float around 4:00 a.m.
Monday morning. This float had
received the award for the “best
Sorority float.”
Total damage was figured to
be in the area of $500 to $600,
and at this time officials are
still investigating the case and
no official action or arrests have
been made up to now.
College officials expressed con
cern over the incident because
of the damage involved, and the
possible damage done to public
relations. It was pointed out that
much of the damage was done
to private pioperty, mainly the
two flatbeds, which were bar-
rowed for this special occasion.
