Dear Editor: . v
There is a saying here at YMe.
“When you are being raped the
issue isn’t negotiation, it is
withdrawal.” In the rape of
Vietnam, that is exactly the issue.
For two years first Lyndon
Johnson and now Richard Nixon
have consistently ignored our
demands for an end to this war.
Instead, they have persisted m thetf
uncompromising stance at the ran
peach talks - talks which drag on
whUe thousands are dying. We have
expressed our protest in ni^y
ways, culminating on October 15 in
the national moratorium, and are
still being ignored. Now we propo^
another level of protest which the
president will not be able to ignore.
The idea of a National Fast for
Peace on the days of the morarium
had its beginning here at Yale md is
now spre^ing rapidly. On October
15 five hundred fasters here and
elsewhere began the movement
There are now over three thousand
students, professors, and
professional men in this area who
have signed the enclosed
commitment. We are encouraged by
medical, religious, and political
advisors of many universities,
including Reverend wmiam Sloane
Coffin Jr., Vincent ScuUy (Yale
U.) Father Daniel Bemgan (Cornell
University), William Davidom
(Haverford), and Richard Falk
(Princeton).
We believe that fastmg is
effective as both a personal and
political gesture against the war. It
indicates a strong dedication to our
conviction that the war n\ust w
stopped, and a solidarity with the
millions of Vietnamese who are
starving because of the war.
Politically, we can hope at the le^t
for another perceptive comment by
Mr. Agnew. .

Dear Editor,
During a recent meeting of tne
Student Legislature, a member of
the Judicial Committee made a
statement upon which I desue
enlightenment. He stated that the
Student Legislature w^ given
certain powers with the
understanding that the exercise of
these powers is subject to the final
approval of the administration.
I now refer you to the SGA
Constitution (as shown in the
GOLD DIGGER for this academic
year). Article I V, Section 4, Part E
were in the following statement is
"'^“The Student Legislature shall
have power to review and approve
the constitution and/or by-laws of
all university student org^izations
and to issue these organizations a
charter without which no student
organization may function.
If the administration accepted
this constitution (as it apparently
did) then I would assume that they
approved all parts of it. In ^ doing,
the administration relinquished ite
right to make final approval m this
Was the SGA Constitution
sanctioned by the administration
with the condition that the powere
stated therein be subject to me
final approval of the
administration? If so, shouldn t a
statement of this condition
accompany the SGA Constitution
to inform the student of what
powers he really has? Should the
administration even be allowed to
gmprove or disapprove of a Student
Legislature merely a “rubber
stamp” of the administration? Does
the Student Legislature have any
real power? I wonder.
Peace,
