RALPH NADER
WASHINGTON -- (CPS)--
Despite advance government pre
dictions of widespread violence
and the last minute cancellation
of buses in some cities, the cap
ital experienced the largest pro
test rally in the nation's history
Nov. 15.
Exactly how big the massive
crowd that gathered at the Wash
ington Monument to protest the
Vietnam War was is impossible
to determine. Police Chief Jerry
Wilson termed his department's
estimate of a quarter of a million
people as "modest." He added
that it is impossible to tell the
size of a crowd larger than
250,000. There are few prece
dents to judge by.
The New Mobilization refuses
to estimate the crowd. But es
timates have ranged as high as
two million participants with var
ious media reporting "morethan
a half million" and 800,000 par
ticipants.
In any case, it was by far the
largest protest this country has
ever witnessed, and that is the
real news value of the day. Just
two years ago the first Mobe
march had slightly fewer than
100,000 participants. The pre
vious record-holding Washington
civil rights rally saw about
210,000 persons.
And while hundreds of thou
sands marched on Washington
this Nov. 15, another 150,000
marched in San Francisco. That
march and rally also was labeled
the largest in the city's history.
to protect workers from unsafe
conditions.
Nader was born on February
27, 1934 in Winsted, Connecti
cut. He attended Gilbert School in
Winsted before receiving the A.
B. degree at Princeton and the
L. 3. degree from Harvard Law
School in 1958.
SPECIAL
MORATORIUM
ISSUE
No. 11
Not everyone who wanted to
participate in the Washington
march up Pennsylvania Avenue
from the Capitol to the Washing
ton Monument could. There just
wasn't enough room in the streets
to hold them. After waiting for
hours to march., thousands of
persons had to walk from the mall
to the monument only to find they
could get within sight of the rally
stage.
As Dr. Timothy Leary put it
as he gazed at a crowd that
stretched to the horizon, "One
Woodstock, two Woodstocks,
three Woodstocks. . .out of
sight."
Persons of every age and
every political persuasion par
ticipated. Viet Cong flags flew
next to American flags. Mothers
with children in their arms cried
for "Peace Now" alongside of
Yippies.
And the collection of signs,
slogans, and buttons showed their
heads all together. They
were for immediate withdrawal
from /ietnam. Not President
Nixon's "honorable," eventual
peace, but peace now.
Shirt poster: "This is My
Country" over a peace symbol

Bumper sticker: "Vietnam:
Love It or Leave It."
Sign: "Saturday WilJ Never

Student Is
Trustee
At Wake
James E. Cross Jr., a Wake
Forest student from Burlington,
was approved as a trustee of
Wake Forest University by the
Baptist State Convention at its
recent meeting.
Cross, president of the stu
dent government at Wake For
est, is the first student to be
come an official, voting trustee
of a North Carolina college.
Several institutions of higher
education, including Guilford
College, have students who at
tend trustee board meetings.
However, none of these students
have a vote.
Cross said he hopes to serve
as a link between students and
trustees.
He believes this would help
trustees to better understand
student problems, and to help
communicate trustee decisions
to the students at Wake Forest.
Dan Ruiburt student legisla
ture president, is a non-voting
student observer on Guilford's
Board of Trustees.
Elon College, in an attempt
to get several younger mem
bers on its board of trustees,
recently adopted a plan pro
viding that each year a graduate
from the preceding year be named
to a two-year term on its board.
