Any Wednesday.
That was yesterday. Just
another Wednesday with clouds
hanging heavy and dark in the
sky, Franklin Street clogged up
with cars jockeying for lanes,
and noonday crowds shuffling
up and down the pavement.

Another Wednesday when
the. trees and the parking
meters and the peace vigilers
lined the walk on Chapel Hill's
main street.
The vigilers who gather
every Wednesday from noon
until lp.m. in silent protest of
the U.S. involvement in the
Vietnamese War, formed a line
from the post office to the
Town & Campus clothing
store.
It's been going on since last
January every Wednesday.

silence, with the only variation
being the faces.,

A group of students, faculty
and townspeople who organized

participate in the National
Peace Mobilization in
Washington next month.
The same group whose
aim it is to organize feeling
against both the draft and the
Vietnam War also plans a

to work on hardest, at first,
and which has excited it the
most is draft counseling and

"That will involve trying to

The big day for the com
'mittee this summer was
Hiroshima Eve, Aug. 5, when
the Vietnam Summer group
sponsored a march down
Franklin St. from Carrboro to
Silent Sam. About 200 persons
took part in the march.
The rest of the summer they
went about their work quietly,
speaking to immunity groups
and passing out literature.
They held a couple of small
meetings with people who were
interested in organizing on the
community level. Vlasits said.
The meetings were held in Vic
tory Village, the Towne House
apartments, and the Estes
Hills residential area.
Most of their work was with
professors, Vlasits said, adding
that the group had aroused
some interest among pro
fessional people in Estes
Hills.
They also did some door to
door canvassing 'in both Chapel
Hill and Carrboro to find out
people's opinions and to
distribute literature.
Vlasits said there were a
"surprisingly high percentage
of people who opposed the war
but felt that they couldn't do
anything about it."
At the Towne House
apartments a teach-in at
tracted 45 to 50 persons,
Vlasits said. The speakers
were a professor from North
Carolina ' College and pro
fessors and students from
UNO.
The anti-war and draft group
has also "been in contact with
high school students
throughout the state," he said.
"There is a lot of interest
among them, and we're just
trying to get them together."
In connection with informing
students of their alternatives
to being drafted the group may
form a draft resistors union
and organize civil disobedience
at induction centers.
However, Vlasits emphasized
that these plans "are in a very
nebulous stage." Of a more
definite nature are plans for a
training school for draft
counselors and possibly an of
fice to which students might go
for counseling.
The group "will probably try
to set up a speakers' bureau to
get people to speak at different
places about the war," ac
cording to Vlasits.
One area that wasn't covered
this summer and to which the
group may go this fall is the
Negro community, to discuss
the relationship between the
her sidewalk stand, not
heeding the slowly expanding
line of vigilers that was in
ching her. way.
t Wallace Farrar ambled out
of Sutton's Drugs where he
works and stood looking up and
down the row of blank faces.
"Just curious," he said. "I
always wonder how many of
them will turn out.
"I" guess I agree with them.
But I don't have time to read
the papers very much to know
what's going on," he said
reaching up to scratch - the
beard that was beginning to
appear on his chin.
"People don't really pay any
attention to them I don't think.
It seems that they would do
more good if they went on TV
or radio and said exactly what
they were protesting."
Robert Glenn, a junior at the
university, just laughed at the
group. "A lot of sore feet for
nothing as far as I'm con
cerned. "I can't agree with them,"
he said. "We're just going to
hurt ourselves if we get out of
Vietnam now. It would look
like we were backing
down."
Across the sidewalk from
Glenn stood an old man in a
clerical collar with a dimestore
American flag clutched in his
withered and freckled hands.
He was a member of the
vigil. : . ,
"I've been coming here
every Wednesday, missed
maybe six times," said Father
Clarence Parker, an 84-year-old
retired Episcopal priest.
"We are just attempting to
make people aware of our
situation in Vietnam in the
hopes that they will study their
own position and maybe
modify their view.!
"The flag? That's to remind
people of Veteran's Day.
Actually, that should b e
Armistice Day, but the . ad
ministration doesn't like to use
that word," he said in a con-
fidential whisper.'
"We don't want to push
ourselves on anyone, that's
why we're silent," he ex
plained. "We just want to
make our views known."
Father Parker stood there,
with a black umbrella over his
arm and a tattered rainhat in
his free hand, and added with
a genuine smile, "I want peace
for my children."
Jack Lasley, an attorney,
stood at the end of the line
behind the info:T.aation table
displaying literature for their
cause. He was dressed in a dark
business suit which was a con
trast to his sandle clad and
bearded constituents who
punctuated the line.

Brown, wanted in Maryland on charges of inciting a
riot, was arrested Wednesday and jailed without bond
to await extradition.
At the request of Alexandria officials, he was taken
to the city jail in Richmond, Va., 100 miles to the south.
His lawyer called it a "legal kidnapping," but Brown
sat seemingly unconcerned ' through two hours of
courtroom maneuvering reading a small red book en
titled "The Thoughts of Chairman Mao." ,
Brown will remain in jail for at least three weeks
until Oct. 3, when a court hearing in Alexandria is
scheduled on his. application for a writ of habeas corpus.

vocates did not seek "peaceful coexistance and we are
against those who preach this coexistance."

and added that he would "ask
the chancellor if he'll try to get
the director of parking and so
meone from the traffic depart
ment to meet tomorrow and
see if we can't reach some

He explained he would,
present the petition because "if .
there is this much
disillusionment with parking,
the chancellor should know
about it."
One student legislator, Bob
Hunter, plans to present the
signatures to the student
legislature when they meet and
ask them to pass a resolution
in support of it.
. Travis supported Hunter's
plans and said he would "ask
for a resolution in ,support of

The petition asks that "the

"Gee that's great," one
observer quickly added. "Just

But that's what Geoff Seng calls it. And he ought to know.

Seng was working his first night as porter at the motel. He
wanted to pay his way through school.
"He was a real nice guy,'' Seng said of his captor. "You could

The UNC student did. He talked him into giving himself up.
What happened during the period they were alone in the
room?
"It was pretty funny," said Seng. "It all happened too quickly
for me to be scared. After the first few minutes I realized he
wasn't going to shoot me. He was too scared."
So what did they do?
"I took off my shoes, propped imyself up on the couch and
watched television."
Not only that, but they both got a laugh out of Caldwell's dog,
who for lack of a place to go, went on the floor.
"He messed up the wall-to-wall carpeting. But I didn't clean it
up. I'm just the porter."

suggested he call room service.
