Gravel Encourages Halt To Vietnam Involvement
By BARBARA KERR
In a re-escalation of the Vietnam War, U.S. planes have been bombing North Vietnam for the past two weeks.
Although the bombings of Hanoi and Haiphong have been temporarily halted, U.S. officials said that “everything is open” for U.S. air and Naval power to do whatever is necessary to stop the North Vietnamese offensive in South Vietnam, and to protect President Nixon’s Viet-namization policy.
Before the temporary halt of the bombing of Hanoi, the North Vietnamese capital city had been heavily bombed, and four Russian ships were reported damaged by U.S. bombs.
"We keep killing them, but they stay,” General Hoang Xuan Lam, commander of the northern forces said. “They seem to like being killed. Militarily, we are killing more of them than they us.”
“So, militarily, they made a mistake,” the general continued, “but we know this is not a military war, but a political one.”
“At this very moment” U.S. air strikes are going on in North and South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia Defense
Secretary Melvin Laird told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Tuesday morning.
Laird said that resuming negotiations at the Paris peace talks while the North Vietnamese were still pursuing their invasion of South Vietnam, “is the height of irresponsibility.”
Senator Mike Gravel (D.-Alaska) said that President Nixon is “Imposing ever more serious strictures on the release of information about the air war” In Southeast Asia.
On March 23, Sen. Gravel introduced legislation to halt immediately further U.S. bombing in Indochina, and to require the total withdrawal of all U.S. military and paramilitary (CIA) personnel from Southeast Asia within 30 days after enactment. Co-sponsors for the bill include 15 Senators and 44 State Representatives.
“In the face of the news blackout on the air war, I want to encourage you to join me in this election year to force an end to the war,” Sen. Gravel said. “Students have been leaders in pointing out the tragedy and mistake of Vietnam, and their help will now be vital in turning out of office those politicians who will not join us in ending the war.”

search in the International
Lounge.
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disease, confined to blacks, which is attacking an estimated 75,000 black Americans today. It is reported that the risk of sickle cell anemia is highest when two persons who carry the defective gene in their chromosomes marry.
If they have children, one out of four is likely to inherit the disease, which usually results in death before the age of 20.
Presently, Merriweather is a hematologist specializing in sickle cell anemia research at Harvard’s Thorndike Laboratories.
There will be a banquet Saturday, April 29, at 6 p.m. and all students are invited. Tickets may be purchased in the Breezeway up until April 26.
All contributions will go to sickle cell anemia research.
Throughout the week there will be lectures and exhibits, including a book exhibit with books written by Afro-American authors, and balloons, t-shirts, and buttons will be sold with proceeds going to sickle cell anemia research.
“One of our main goals of Black Culture Week is to highlight the significance oj
black culture to black students and a learning experience for non-blacks,” said Mrs. Joyce Knox, advisor to Black Culture Week.

Ivy League colleges issued a joint statement Wednesday, condemning the renewed U.S. bombing in North Vietnam.
"The costs of such a policy in life and suffering are appalling and unjustified,” the statement said. It continued by saying that they deplored “a national policy which seems to be based on the belief that the United States must at almost any cost, win the war. . .”
A group of University of Michigan professors, as well as Ann Arbor Mayor Robert J. Harris, offered themselves as “peace hostages” to go to Hanoi and Haiphong in an attempt to discourage U.S. bombing attacks on North Vietnam.
