Cambodian Invasion
UM Rally Set For Tomo
A massive rally of students and faculty is slated to take place on the UM “rock” tomorrow to protest President Nixon’s recent decision to invade Cambodia with U.S. troops. The demonstration is expected to be only one of many such actions occurring on campuses across the nation this week with many beginning today. We strongly urge all students and faculty who are in disagreement with escalation of the war to join in this protest.
The rally will begin at II a.m. with folk music, speakers, and open debate. Senator Charles Goodell (Rep., N.Y.) is going to speak to the crowd via telephone hookup Wednesday, 12 noon.
A resolution condem-
ning the Nixon act will be available on the rock throughout the day for people who wish to sign it. The statement with hopefully thousands of signatures will be sent to
the President via Senator William Fullbright, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, tomorrow evening.
Coordinators of the rally emphatically point

Reactions to President Nixon’s speech to send U.S. troops to Cambodia varied on the UM campus.
Rocky Walters, head of the Gadflies, said, "I am relatively sure that the CIA or some similar organization was behind the overthrow of Prince Sihanouk’s regime in Cambodia.
"The U.S. invasion gave legitimacy to the Communist claims, and Communist forces will ow be able to back a counter coup.
“We have no legitimacy in Cambodia. According to the Geneva Accord we are an invading force. For us not to consider the rights of the Cambodian people, is paradoxical with the situation in South Vietnam.”
Walters said that the government is afraid of mass slaughter but is willing to support a government that is itself taking part in a slaughter.
He said that the Cambodian situation is “a blunder of catastrophic proportions.”
“I hope President Stanford will issue a statement because it will have more weight than any student action,” he said.
“If Congress gets upset,” he said, “they will cut the funds from this war.”
Nancy Handler, prseident of AWS, said, “I don’t think that there will be any rioting here. Enough students aren’t informed.”
There is not much involvement on any issue on this campus, she said. “Maybe if there is some tie-in with the Moratorium, there will be some action.”
Miss Handler said that UM students are tired and ready to go home.
“We have just gotten over our own, private war (USG elections) here and
students are studying for finals,” she said.
Ira Pollack, out-going, USG deputy attorney general, said, "I hope something happens here.
“Military leaders have lied to President Nixon,” he said. ‘This shows that the real power is in the Pentagon, not the White House.”
Pollack said that he has spoken to students and said demonstrations are being planned for UM and Miami.
"If a student march was called, half of the college students in the country would participate,” he said.
Ron Stone, president of IFC, said, “Nothing will happen on this campus.
“I don’t know enough about it yet,” he said. “And what I do know, I don’t understand.
“The result depends on what happens in the next couple of weeks,” he said.
Mark Berman, Hurricane assistant news editor, said, “We are just getting into one hell of a mess.”
“The situation will be exactly like Vietnam. As the Miami Herald said, first we send in arms, then we send military advisors and now we’va sent in troops.
Outgoing USG Treasurer, Stu Weiss, said that some sort of strike or boycott should be organized.
“I hope students will take enough interest to do something about the situa-ton.”
The war in Vietnam and the Cambodian invasion are not justified.
David Smith, MRHA presidential candidate, said, ‘This is just an extension of the Vietnam war.
"I believe this is not the first action,”
he said.
“It would be great if the campus would show their dissent," he said.
I’
just act. The rally is not sponsored by a particular interest or political group. Rather, it is a result of widespread concern on the part of students and faculty at large.
We urge ail professors who have classes between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to give serious consideration to canceling classes during that period of time. We further urge that other class periods throughout the day be devoted to discussion of the Southeast Asian situation.
All student and faculty organizations, including USG and faculty senate, are asked to formally and publically condemn the U.S, invasion of Cambodia. We suggest that such resolutions also be forwarded to the President via Senator Fullbright.
We cannot sit quietly
while our President who promised to end the war in Vietnam, starts a new one in Cambodia, and while our Secretary of Defense hints that we may also go into Laos.
“I promised to end the war,” said President Nixon Thursday night T shall keep that promise. I promised to win a just peace. I shall keep that promise. We shall avoid a wider war. But we are also determined to put an end to this war.”
With that 8,000 U.S. combat troops had already crossed the borders of Cambodia without the permission of Its government. Cambodia has been
neutral and it wishes to remain neutral. The North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong have violated that neutrality. Consequently, Nixon is sending U.S. troops to defend Cambodia's neutrality.
This absurdity is what students and faculty across the nation are protesting. This is the absurdity that we too will protest. And for our protests President Nixon has neatly categorized us as “those bums on campus.”
Speaking to a Miami Beach audience Friday, Senator George McGovern said, “It is difficult to understand how we ara going to end an old war in
South Viet Nam by starting a new one in Cambodia.”
McGovern said he was appalled by the President’s disclosure Thursday night that American troops had been sent to Cambodia. He said he could not understand the President’s saying that this step was not an invasion.
Anyway you look at it, the move to Cambodia was in fact an invasion and many more gallons of spilled blood will testify to that.
The senate foreign relations committee was totally ignored when it insisted that no aid of any kind be sent to Cambodia. Now it is time for the people to speak. Our campus must join in this nationwide protest. Come to the rock tomorrow.

4 Killed At Kent State
By LINDA ORMES
Of Thu Hurricunu Staff
Thousands of college students in the U.S. have been demonstrating in
protest to President Nixon’s decision to send troops to Cambodia.
Four persons were killed and 11 injured at Kent State University in Ohio when National Guardsmen clashed with student militants.
Hundreds of students at other colleges boycotted classes and plans were announced for student-faculty strikes Tuesday and Wednesday.
Witnesses said the shooting came after Guardsmen moved in with tear gas to disperse a rock-throwing crowd of 400 to 500 students.
At the University of Mary-land an estimated 1000 students ransacked ROTC offices and blocked a major highway in protest. State police used cattle prods, clubs and tear gas to ward off the students.
There were several bloody clashes among students, and two policemen were injured and a number of students suffered head wounds.
Students from the Univer-s i t y of Cincinnati and Hebrew Union College held a sit-down protest and stopped traffic at a Cincinnati intersection. Of the 800 protesters, 145 were arrested when they refused to disperse.
In Seattle, «06 demonstraters chanting, “Ho! Ho! Ho Chi Minh! N-L-F is going to win,” attacked a Boeing Company office and marched through the streets.
With shouts of "Peace now,” and “Stop the war," more than 1,000 University
of Pennsylvania students marched three miles to Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Also in Philadelphia, Temple University students clamored against the war from the top of a National Guard tank.
In Washington the National Students Association, comprised of student body presidents from more than 500 colleges and universities, made a statement saying that President Nixon should be impeached. The Student Mobilization Committee called for “launching of immediate massive protests against this action.”
The President, in response
to the surge of protests, referred to the protesters as “those bums who blow up the campus and burn the books.” He contrasted college protesters to Gls fighting in Southeast Asia.
At a number of campuses, strikes were held and a Rutgers University committee called for a nationwide strike. Nixon was burned in effigy by Central Washington State College students in Ellensburg, California.
A letter signed by more than 200 Stanford students and faculty members warned the White House that the move into Cambodia could send campus violence “beyond control.”
U. of Md. Reaction: Spontaneous Riots
By KATHY WILSON

Twenty eight were arrested and many others were injured in a crowd of 2,000 students and faculty demonstrating at the University of Maryland against President Nixon’s Cambodia invasion.
Susan Gainer, news editor for Maryland’s campus paper, The Diamonback, explained the situation to the Hurricane the day following the riots.
'The gas is still so thick on the south end of campus, that we can’t walk through it,” she said.
The demonstration started at noon Friday when 2000 concerned people gathered at the center of campus in reaction to President Nixon’s Thursday night speech.
The rally was spontaneously planned by 15 to 20 members of the University Committee of Concerned Students and Faculty, an ad-hoc committee formed in response to tenure riots in which 87 people were arrested last month.
From there, the charged crowd moved to the Armory where Miss Gainer estimated 150 demonstrators broke into the ROTC offices, burned uniforms, and threw literature
about.
Throughout the afternoon, the crowds blocked Route 1, Continued on Page S
‘Fieldhouse. By Sept.’ --Krasnow

In the aftermath of campaigning and victory parties, paigning and victory parties, newly-elected USG President Mark Krasnow vowed Saturday that his slate of officers would devote themselves wholly to the job they have ahead.
Krasnow said he is glad his slate won by a “nice clear-cut margin." He said his slate presented itself honestly to the students and didn’t have to change its image to win.”
One of the first things Krasnow will do as president is to set up advisory committees made up of all kinds of students to rap and discuss	UM-related
problems We want lots of input and we’ll listen to everybody,” he said.
Discussing the Student Body Government Constitution approved by students in last week’s referendum, Krasnow said its major fault is that “it delegates authority we don’t have.”
He said the first thing he plans to do with the docu-m e n t is to remove its “inconsistencies." “The constitution is a document, a piece of paper but USG is going to do things.”
He said USG would not waste the whole year in constitutional discussion.
Krasnow also said that throughout the year spot polls and referendums will be taken. “Without the students behind us we can’t accomplish anything.”
“We’re excited and there’s a lot to do,” he said.
Krasnow said he plans to have a “bubble" field house erected by September and will begin planning for high-rise parking on campus.
"A fantastic council got elected anfel I hope we can all throw away our personal feelings.”

Born in Korea, Sohn was introduced to American music at the age of six by this father. He practiced singing American songs in his youth but the very words "show business” were greeted with shock by his Korean parents.
Sohn's youth ended with the advent of the Korean War. He and his family spent the war fleeing from one side to the other.

The Student Elections Commission Friday declared the slate of Mark Krasnow, Don Spurlock and Bob Drake official winners of the USG executive elections.
The announcement was made after five hours of deliberation. The Commission met to finalize Thursday’s elections and to investigate complaints aimed at t he Krasnow slate and to determine if the candidates had overspent.
Krasnow said he was pleased with the Election Commission’s decision. “They did a fantastic job of laying aside their own feelings,” he said. “I have a lot of respect for that group of individuals.”
He said the race was “a very hotly contested one,” but that his slate had nothing to do with the “slur sheets” that were thrown out. He also said he had no intee-tions of running for re-election next year because he is “apolitical.”
The Commission questioned several witnesses including the winners.
A former Krasnow cam-p a i g n worker. Gene Parenzan, told the Commission he had come to speak because he had seen “more brochures than Krasnow said he had." He said he attended two Krasnow campaign meetings and counted out 400 brochures on the first night of campaigning. The Krasnow slate reported a total of 2,000 brochures to the election commission.
He said 400 brochures were destined for Mahoney and Pearson Halls and 160 for both the 960 and 1968 dorms on the first night. He said other brochures were also given out for distribution to fraternity row.
Krasnow told the Commission his brochures were never carefully counted as Parenzan said, but were given out In stacks and Continued on Page t 3*
