Prior to the march itself. Dr. Chamberlain gave a speech to a crowd of over 1,000 students and faculty advocating life and not destruction. Marchers lined up four abreast following his statements and walked through Glassboro chant- ing. A peace sign was formed on the football field at the end of the march. The final speech was given at the field by Dr. Gordon Livingston, a former Army physician. The American public has reacted to the Moratorium and the peace movements with mixed feelings. Many support the President ' s policies, but there is growing dissatisfaction with the lack of progress made. As we enter a new decade, we can only hope that it will be characterized by peace and goodwill to humanity. 20

In years to come, the 1960 ' s will be known as the time of turbulence. Upheaval, not only in our country, but around the world, has exerted much influence on American youth. Violence has appeared in all walks of life. Racial tension has produced pressures which exploded with force into riots. Within a period of slightly less than five years, three prominent men were assassinated. Gang slaying and mass murder were common occurrences in the headlines. Protests of all sorts have erupted in campus strife. In an attempt to escape from harsh reality, many students turned to drugs. It seems ironic that a nation so rich in resources, in talent, in opportunities, could produce the conditions which bred such widespread brutality and poverty as exists today. Violence has not been limited to just the home front, how- ever. The Mid-East crisis has proven that. The most out- standing example is, of course, Vietnam. This tiny South- East Asian country has been the center of attention for the ' 60 ' s. As the fighting drags on, increasing interest has been generated toward finding a peaceful solution. The culmination of awareness and desire for on end to war resulted in the formation of a protest organization, the Vietnam Moratorium Committee. The first Moratorium was held on October 15, 1969. In colleges across the country, mass demonstrations were held in the hope for peace. On the Glassboro campus, M-day activities began on the evening of October 14, with approximately 500 students participating in a candlelight service. At that time it was announced the GSC students were refused permission for their peace march which, however, at a later time was granted. Students and faculty had the option of attending classes. Twenty-one teach-ins were held on topics ranging from a history of the war to resistance tactics. The Music Depart- ment presented a concert in accordance with the observ- ance. Participating in the program were the Lab Band and Percussion Ensemble. The music was completely experi- mental and featured original electronic compositions by faculty members.
