A sign of the times found its way to a Navy recruiting poster standing at the courthouse. Throughout the nation, on Oct. 15, citizens showed their disapproval of the present U. S. pohcy in Vietnam through a national Moratorium. The Student Board of Governors endorsed participation by students and faculty. The late Very Rev. Henry W. Linn, S.J., also endorsed the moratorium, saying classes w ould go on as usual for those w ho virished to attend. Father Linn encouraged panels, teach-ins and class discussion dealing virith the problems of war and peace. Activities began at 6 a.m. at the Armed Forces Induc- tion Center where buttons and leaflets were issued. This was followed by a free breakfast and a reading of the Nebraska and Iowa war dead at the Douglas County Courthouse. A Mass for peace was held at St. John ' s Church at noon. Following the Mass was a march to the courthouse. Rain kept the crowds to a few hundred and organizers cancelled a candlelight rally at Elmwood Park. Seven students were among the estimated 250,000 participants in the November anti-war march in Wash- ington, D.C. The 40-hour March Against Death went from Arlington National Cemetery to the front of the national Capitol. All we are saying is give peace a chance •».
