In his opening remarks, he gave some of the reasons for the division of the Ameri can people over the Vietnam war. He stated that they have lost confidence in the admini stration and that the truth about the war has been kept from them. Bringing the situation in Southeast Asia to the present, Nixon said that the Vietnami- zation program launched in March has shown progress. Food Criticized Gripes Leveled A student meeting in the cafeteria Wednesday, Novem ber 5 was called to order by John Roberts, SGA President for his expressed purpose of collecting complaints and criti cism of the cafeteria food and management from the student body, of which approximately 350 students were present.

There followed a recommen dation that people who are in terested meetwith the members of the aforementioned commit tee, who are Robbie Carruth, Barbara Jackson, Ned Hill, and Roger Taylor. The meeting then approved adeadline of Nov. 19, at which time the cafeteria must have made some sort of progress in the handling of the food.

At the conclusion of his speech, Nixon appealed to “the silent majority”, who supported his efforts. He stated that he would not be pressured into to tal withdrawal immediately, be cause this would be going again st the constitution if he was to be swayed by the small min ority demonstrating in the streets.

It was light and re freshing but not too long. It was a “good” encore. The audience could have walked away smiling Donors Needed For Local Blood Drive A blood drive will be held on Wednesday, November 13, and on Thursday, November 14 in the Rocky Mount area by the American Red Cross.

I didn’t hear the title of this one since I had, in fact, walked out, thinking the per formance was over. But, I ran back and caught the last encore.

NOTICE Stevens Studios of Raleigh will be on campus Monday through Friday to make student por traits for the yearbook. Ap pointments should be made in advance at the DISSENTER of fice.
