Vietnam War dead. Students, faculty, and members of the community, wearing black, armbands converged on the Rock to participate in the program, *** planned months ago, which ranged from silent vigils to dramatic pleas for peace by campus leaders and enter­ tainers. Program guests included Theodore Bikel, Rabbi Joseph Narot, Tobias Simon, Richard Taylor, a representative of UBS, and dozens of others. Throughout the day enter­ tainment was provided by Vince Martin Estrella, Lee Philips and others. Many of the students who gathered, spent Tuesday night at the Rock, some keeping silent vigils, others singing folk songs. As the campus awoke to a damp Wednesday morning, the list of war dead was still being read, students on the lawn were huddled beneath blankets, and fewer students than usual were attending classes.
