Froines: Students must respond
without someone getting killed”
1. The Americans agree to the
immediate and total withdrawal
of all U.S. forces from Vietnam.
2. The Vietnamese pledge that
as soon as the U.S. government
publicly sets a date for total
withdrawal: They will enter
discussions to secure the release of
all American prisoners, including
pilots captured while bombing
North Vietnam.

cease-fire between U.S. forces and
by vicki hinson
A Joint Treaty of Peace between the people of the United States,
^uth Vietnam, and North Vietnam was read to approximately 300
^orth Carolina State University students, on January 11, by John
Froines.
Abbie Hoffman, well known Yippie leader and a member of the
Chicago Eight Conspiracy, had been the scheduled guest speaker but
'^uld not appear due to sickness. Froines, also one of the Conspiracy
Fight, consented at the last minute to appear. He holds degrees from
Berkeley (B.A.) and Yale (M.A., Ph.D.), did post-doctoral research on a
National Institutes of Health fellowship at the Royal Institution of
Creat Britian and is now assistant professor of chemistry at the
University of Oregon. At Yale he was chairman of students for Johnson
Fr the 1964 election, but soon moved into S.D.S., serving for two years
a community organizer in its New Haven community project. Later,
n® Was a co-founder of the Radical Science Information Service. He was
Edited on contempt for 6 to 8 months by Judge Julius A. Hoffman
during the Conspiracy Trial. He is presently appealing that sentence.
Froines theorized that the student movement in the past has always
^®sponded to escalation. Students only move with bullets being fired.
This spring will be different he said, only if the students realize the
ueed to respond without someone first being killed. The first sign of
this spring’s effort will be a “tribal meeting” of Americans during the
Uionth of February. This convocation will transpire in Ann Arbor,
Michigan. Discussion will evolve around a nationwide campus
•^^ferendum on the peace treaty which reads:
Be it known that the American and Vietnamese people are not
®nemies. The war is carried out in the names of the people of the
United States and South Vietnam but without our consent. It destroys
*he land and people of Vietnam. It drains America of its resources, its
youth, and its honor.
We hereby agree to end the war on the following terms, so that both
peoples can live under the joy of independence and can devote
themselves to building a society based on human equality and respect
For the earth.

Union to
stay open
till 5:30
by joe. h. mccorkle
As a result of student efforts,
the administration has decided to
keep the Union Bldg, cafeteria
open in the afternoons until 5:30.
Previous plans were to close
the facility at 2:00 pm
Monday-Friday. The directive to
close administration.
Both McKay and Saga Foods
Inc. told the JOURNAL that Saga
did not request the move. “It was
the administration’s decision,”
said McKay.
The decision to close had been
based on economics. McKay said
that the administration was losing
$15 a day by keeping the Union
cafeteria open from 2:00 pm to
6:00 pm “We’ve had the snack bar
open from 2 to 6 and nobody’s
using it,” he said.

Attendance
controversy
stymies SGA
The reinstatement of senior
class president Paul Ferguson into
the legislative body was the main
issue of business at the SGA
meeting Monday. Ferguson, who
has missed a sufficient number of
committee meetings and
legislative meetings combined to
be suspended from the body,
exercised his right of appeal to the
assembly at large.
Ferguson explained that he had
used up all of his absences during
the first of the semester before he
had even attended his first
legislature meeting of this year;
therefore he could be allowed no
more absenses with or without
proxy. “In the confusion of
semester break and exams and
everything like this, I got my
wires crossed; I thought I missed a
Ways and Means Committee
meeting last Monday. I thought
that that meeting was going to be
held this Monday and that this
legislature meeting was not until
this coming,^Wednesday. So, the
only other thing I can say is that I
did check my box during exams
and there was no note in there
regarding the Ways and Means
Committee.” This was Ferguson’s
further explanation regarding his
immediate absence.
The senior president regarded
the whole situation as “just a
mixup” and apologized stating
that he would tike to be
reinstated. Larry Marshall
motioned that he be reinstated
however Marlene Whitley objected
saying in effect that too many
mles were being ^aived by the
present legislature and that from
now on they should “lay a plan
and stick to it”.
Wayson refuted this by
pointing out that no rules were
being waived and that Ferguson
had a right to this appeal.
Freshman representative Clare
Tausch also pointed out the
problems of finding a replacement
for him at the present time. The
motion was then put to a vote and
Ferguson won his appeal.
Susie Sutton, chairman of the
Rules Committee brought to the
floor a recommendation that each
class be required to hold regular
class meetings. President Alan
Hickok philosophized that the
Freshman class usually has
meetings simply because “they
seem to have more school spirit
than any of the rest of us”, and
that seniors must have meetings
to plan graduation. However he
could see no reason why the other
classes should be required to hold
these meetings. Sutton explained
that the meetings would be a
vehicle by which classmates could
get to know their representatives
better, and give them a chance to
communicate with their
