FOUNDED NOVEMBER 3, 1966 NOTRE DAME, INDIANA letter Tonight is only Wednesday night, but you can see it coming already. Friday will dawn and there will be a few holdouts, but in general, we will be back to "business as usual" here at Notre Dame. Nothing will have changed much in Cambodia, Vietnam, South Bend, or on campus. What will have happened however is that our rage, fear, and confusion over Nixon's move last Thursday will have been expressed and dissipated. Our heated discussions and impassioned speeches will have relieved our intemal conflicts. Sadly, our activities of the last few days will be revealed for what they were: simply a communal scratching of an irritating mental and moral Of course It's OK to open fire ......

However it is pointless to list what I agreed with Mr. Lowenstein about. Those who know me, must realize that I emphatically reject Dave Lammers the type of foreign policy that Mr. Lowenstein advocates. Howev1~r that is not what I want to talk about. Mr. Lowenstein mentioned the despair that young people feel. The Sanctuaries Much as I hate being lumped under that all inclusive title - young people - I would have to agree with him.

The reasons for rny us for some time: "Can I serve in the military while the nation is fighting an immoral despair are radically different from those which cause this feeling in war?'' That agonizing question has forced us to consider the consequences of resistance to others. the draft, leaving the country for Canada, or applying for conscientious objection.

I honestly feel that once my generation his moral stand are not the same as ours. assumes the reins of power, it will signal the beginning of the end of What could be a response of Father Hesburgh and the faculty to our present dilemma? the United States as a sovereign nation. I, quite frankly, have no How can the community create a situation so that a person would not have to make his faith wl\.atsoever in my generation. Perhaps I am being excessively decision alone and would not bear the consequences of that decision alone? Alone, I am pessimistic. Yet looking at the events of the past few days where nothing; I have little power to make my voice heard, I have little ability to stand before large numbers of students have turned to violence because their the might of the state, I have little ability to protect my moral stance against the courts demands have been thwarted, I shudder for our nation. We are as and prison and the prospect of no job. Together with Father Hesburgh and the Dave Krashna put it the leaders of tomorrow.

Will we be the type of people that substitute emotion, for reason How could a-~nct~ray be created? What would a sanctuary be? or irrationality for logic? I think so. We seem all too ready to accept First, the university would never officially become a haven for resisters and the statements as facts, without questioning them as long as they come administrators would never allocate funds to feed, house, and give legal assistance to, from people who agree with us. We readily reject the statements of several hundred ·men committed to non-participation in the war. But individual people that don't agree with us with arrogance, because of our administrators that are committed to helping students could give their individual stubborn pride. We refuse to accept the fact that many things that assistance, and in the case of Father Hesburgh this could be immense. Perhaps one of the people do are not done with devious motives in mind. We seek to dormitories could be used; perhaps jobs on campus could be provided. Faculty that have negate or circumvent laws that we don't agree with. We grow law degrees could give free legal assistance to men that challenge the constitutionality of frustrated when the government doesn't instantly respond to our the CO law or the constitutiona'lity of the present war.

In our blindness we Student government could play an enormous role. A referendum to the student body venerate individuals, who in an earlier day would have been branded could allow part of the $96,000 that student government has to be spent on the costs of for what they were common criminals because they espouse the protecting the members in the sanctuary.

''Our spirit is responsible to the spirits of all our brothers." This spirit does not let us ask ''What should I do?" but rather "Where am I, on a journey or a trip!" Burrell said. Students launch letter campaign to home papers Last evening, a group of Notre Dame students met in the hope of implementing recent campus activities protesting the Presi­ dent's decision to invade Cam­ bodia. Among other things, they decided to launch an immediate letter-writing campaign aimed at home town newspapers. It is their hope that such an effort would broaden support and awareness of the Univer­ sity's stance against President Nixon's action. The influence of Father Hesburgh's statement along with the Notre Dame community's support of it, they feel, should prove to be a valuable means of influencing the general public's attitude on Cambodia. Dan Oberst, a Notre Dame senior and the organizer of the campaign, said that it is his hope that students will also take part in a letter-writing campaign direc ted at their respective Senators and Representatives in Congress. All Notre Dame and SMC students are urged to take part in this campaign for they con­ sider it a unique opportunity to go outside of the confines of the University. Any N D student interested in becoming involved in this pro­ ject should contact Dan imme­ diately at II 04 Flanner (phone: 1528).
