Claiming that we would not suffer the indignity of human life any longer, we demonstrated our desire to redirect a country from war to peace. We stood with thousands in midnight vigils across America and at state house rallies. Canvassing, thinking, listening - we were both political and apolitical. Then there was Washington. In the non- violent tradition of Martin Luther King and Woodstock. Surging masses, sweeping forward with their frenzied cries for Peace, stretching across the Mall and rising upward with the Washington Monument. A stranger might have taken it for a religious pilgrimage; it was. 17

Lowenstein One man, hunched in the cold, looked out at us and talked to us, with us. He didnt dwell on unnecessary words as he spoke his thoughts softly into the mike. His face showed intense apprehension and profound confidence. He said it was cold. We couldnt feel it as we squeezed together on the Green, thinking similar thoughts, about man's capacity to experience the deepest sense of humanity and the harshest acts of cruelty. College was supposed to help resolve these conflicts by giving us an appreciation of man's academic accomplishments. But they seemed incon- gruous in the absurd world where a college degree is a passport to Hamburger Hill and the jungles of Sang My.

The Mad Hatter wishes you a Happy Un-Birthday! And the man from the Massachusetts draft board says: We expect to reach number 366 by the end of the year. Be proud to fight for your country as generations of Brunonians have, even if the Uni- versity once suspended itself to support a revolution against the government. As part of a tradition older than the United States, students and faculty at Brown helped lead the fall protests. They mobilized Rhode Island in October and trained the Washington marshalls in November. From the campus- wide forum on Vietnam in '67 to political campaigning in '68 to the moratoria of 69, the com- munity's yearning for peace and its awareness of world events is unparalleled in recent Brown his- tory. s g 4 7 e ;w v Q lhf, e Voorhees
