A young mother from Cam- bridge, Mass. led a throng of Black and White gradeschool tots with a banner that read “Children Against the War’. They chanted “U.S. out of South- east Asia; End the War Now”. More than 500 Asian students led by a young woman with a bullhorn chanted, “Vietnam we hear you, Vietnam we see you, we support the struggle of Viet- nam”. Hundreds who lined. the route to watch the pageant burst into laughter and applause as an- other contingent chanted “Don’t . blame us, we’re from Massachu- setts”. Massachusetts voters resoundingly rejected Nixon in the November presidential elec- tion. It was the only state car- ried by George McGovern.

Never have we been so ashamed of what is done in our name. And never have we gathered in Washington in the middle of winter in such great numbers and at such short notice. “We are here to make several things perfectly clear to Rich- ard Nixon: we are determined to end all bombing in all of In- dochina; we are determined that the peace accords be signed; we are determined to prevent the mass detention and extermination of political pri- soners in Soutn Vietnam; we are determined that the war against the Vietnamese people come to an end — and we are determined to get the U.S. out of Indochina.” Peck urged the crowd to help establish ‘Peace and Justice Councils” to force Congress to legislate an end to the war and crackdown on Nixon’s schemes to slash spending for health, education and welfare. Among other speakers were Sen. Philip Hart, Dem. Mich., Rep. Bella Abzug, Dem. NYS and Jarvis Tyner, Communist Party spokesman. (Daily World) German bishop e @e e e _visits Britain The President of the Federa- tion of Protestant Churches in the German Democratic Repub- lic, Bishop Schoenherr, has been on a two-week visit to Great Britain at the invitation of the British Council of Churches. Shortly before his trip Bishop Schoenherr was elected the first Bishop of the Berlin-Branden- burg diocese when the GDR church became independent of the West Berlin church. Brampton labor vote announced ait’ talks. : The Brampton and District Labor Council held their annual elections last week and three of the table officers, president, recording secretary, and treas- urer received acclamations, The contest for vice-president met with a tie vote on the first bal- lot. On the second ballot, Joe McConnel, UAW 1967 delegate won over another UAW dele- gate, Ray Dunnett by one vote. Pat Taylor, also a UAW 1967 delegate was elected recording secretary by acclamation. The council also passed a re- solution stating that a telegram be sent to the federal govern- ment supporting the Toronto Labor Council resolution which demanded that the government stop blaming the unemployed for unemployment.

General meeting of Brock students talks strategy as occupation, Reinstate faculty @ Continued from page 4 large general meeting Friday afternoon.to discuss what has happened so far, and future plans. The administration, under tremendous fire from faculty and students for their passive resist- ance to. Davis (‘‘we’re here to put a bit of backbone into the trustees when they go to speak to Davis and MacNie,”’ said one of the students) announced through a student trustee two future meetings — one of the trustees, Saturday, which would plan for the second meeting Monday with Minister of Uni- versities and Colleges Jack Mac- Nie. Needless to say, the trustees didn’t seem to be trusted. Pro- bably experience tells. “And what if the board of trustees de- cides we’re just a bunch of silly youths,” suggested a student. “What will they say to Mac- Nie?” And it also came out, in a later discussion I had, that a surprising number of them hap- pened to be Conservative cam- paign contributors. Brock University Presiden‘ Gibson came to the meeting to tell the students about all he had been doing for them. “I have discussed financial needs with four of five of our area MPP’s — six months ago,” he announced to an unimpressed student body, along with the surprising news that the trus- tees “are aware of the situation.” In reply, he was kindly told by a student that “perhaps he could compromise a bit and consider our opinions — after all, there are over 2,000 of us.” No Representative Pres. Gibson was also asked, since it was he who personally invited the different administra- tion bodies and individuals to the Monday meeting with Mac- Nie, why no_ representative from the faculty association was invited, although someone from the faculty board was. With a little help from Mary Jane Miller, faculty board chair- woman, he explained that the faculty board was an advisory body, and, by statute, part of the university administration, while the faculty association “was concerned .merely with salary negotiations and hiring.” A stu- dent unkindly asked him if the reason ‘“‘you’re not taking the faculty association to the meet- ing is because it’s not part of the administration, and _ there- fore not subordinate to you,” and the meeting passed a mo- tion demanding that a represen- tative of the faculty association be invited. After the general meeting, which ‘unanimously voted to continue the occupation of the 13th floor, the moratorium on classes, and go- forward into the against our main problem, the Davis government,” I spoke with some.of the students in- volved in the occupation. Community Concenn “Sixty-five percent of the stu- dents live in the area, or at least their parents come from around here,” I was told. “The people of the community themselves “initiated the idea for this uni- versity to fulfil a need which this area had. Now this is being cut from under them, the qual- ity and educational presence which they demanded is in jeo- pardy. We have to have their support,” a student explained. She pointed out that Brock had an extensive continuing education program which at- tracted large numbers of people from the community who were not full-time students. “This will be the first program hit by the staff cuts because professors won’t accept the heavier teach- ing loads,” she said. “And the classes being at night, well, you know what will happen. We’re quite proud of our continuing education program here, we think it’s important, and it would be a blow to the com- munity to see it go up in smoke. That’s why they have to be in- volved in the struggle as well.” Ready for Round Two We were interrupted a couple of. times by a university secur- ity officer who pointed out that the occupation was quiet and orderly, and the ‘community in general should be proud of it. The press has done a real dis- service in saying that this is a confrontation — the students are here,” as he put it, “legally with permission.” Until Monday night, most likely. If they are turned down flat by MacNie, the administra- tion might say, ‘Well, we've done what we can. You heard the answer. So you might as well go .back to classes.” The occupation will no longer be “legal.” Students have promised to continue the occupation and moratorium until their demands are met. Of course, they can’t stay on the 13th floor forever. Round one ends with the MacNie meeting Monday. Round two may have to begin in the com- munity, where the parents of the students who are being rip- ped off, and the community that isn’t getting what they should, or what they deserve, can have quite a bit to say to Messrs. Davis, MacNie and company about the kind of education they need.
