It has been said that American cultural problems become fads; that the anti-war movement took the glory from the civil rights movement and the pollution movement has taken the wind out of the anti-war sails. This may be true but when a movement is on it has no brakes. Ten days after October 15. with the national threat of moratoriums every month on a geometric progression until the war was over. UMO students joined other students in a 400-strong peace march and rally at Augusta. October 30 was another fall day. Another day for warm clothes and spirit. The ball was rolling now. It would not stop yet, for Augusta was not a march of violence. It was not even a march of anguish, for nationwide the feeling was accomplishment. Even as the Augusta police, wearing riot helmets and carrying mace cans, stopped traffic to let the marchers cross streets, the word was out that there would be a march on the nation’s capital in November. The rumors and reports that the National Moratorium Committee was bankrupt were pushed aside. Washington was going to feel the spirit, the anger, the frustration of this generation. The spirit, like a wild thing, grew. And it did not die after Augusta, but mellowed and waited for November and Washington. 25

During those next few weeks rumors of violence and “backlash” circulated. The catch-phrases that could not dampen the moratorium spirit. They went to Washington. Five hundred Maine people. In buses and cars they headed south, to a city where 40.000 special troops had been brought in to protect property from 250.000 war protesters. Washington became places, memories, glimpses from the dim past. Brad Geer. UMO student, received the name of one of his best friends in the death march for the soldiers who had died in Vietnam. As he stopped at the White House fence to shout his buddy’s name the Associated Press immortalized the moment. Dupont Circle. Mad Dogs and Weathermen. Tear gas. Broken windows. Free Bobby!” “Off the pigs!” The Yippie Demonstration at the Justice Department. ,FY0UV(AHTn H PP| Christ » fton Mi i loVa I ■ 26
