BLACK ARMBANDS symbolizo mourning. Moratorium Activities . . . Moratoria '69 . . . Expressed individuals' interests and convictions concerning the Viet Nam conflict. CONTRIVED by an ad-hoc student committee, the October 15 moratorium was recognized as a day of learning and discussion to explore past events in Asia, review United States intervention, and present all opinions based on factual evidence. PANELED discussions by professional speakers, films borrowed from the State Department and the Washington Peace Center informed students, while a mourning memorial service for the war dead, a sing-in on the football field, class discussions, and wearing black armbands allowed everyone the chance to unite and expound beliefs. DEMONSTRATED in strikes and the March against Death from Arlington Cemetery to the White House, ending at the Capitol on November 14-15. VOLUNTEERED to prepare lunches for marchers, and find shelter for out-of-town participants. ENTREATED students not involved in the strike to wear armbands and stimulate class discussions. NORTH VIETNAMESE speak- er expounds his beliefs dur- ing Moratorium assemblies. 26 FOLK SINGERS lead students in protest songs.
