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 internal conflicts. Sadly, our activities of the last few days will be revealed for what Of course it's OK to open fire Didn't the Vice President say these they were: simply a communal scratching of an irritating mental and moral punks were no good! itch, something quite different from what our personal and national situation calls for. At this late date, our naivete is inexcusable. Do we really believe that the fundamental changes we seek can be wrought by two days outbursts and late night debates? Who has deceived us into thinking that the goals we seek can Glen Corso be achieved without a day-to-day engagement that puts personal convenience at the bottom of the list of priorities? Was the strike the most effective action we could think of-or was it the easiest? The men whose names we have Despair invoked would laugh at us. How could Gandhi, Guevara, King, Jefferson, etc. take our brand of “revolutionary commitment” seriously? Until we understand the depth of the demand macte on us by our vision, The Soft Parade 1 .... ■ ■==? all our strikes, protests, marches, and speeches will be nothing more than a In his stirring speech the other night, Representative Allard grandiose method of relieving our own problems.

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. However that is not what I want to talk about. Mr. Lowenstein mentioned the despair that young people feel. Much as I hate being lumped under that all inclusive title — young The Sanctuaries people - I would have to agree with him. I, along with many other The past few days have intensified the question that has been in the minds of many of young people feel an ever deepening despair. The reasons for my 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. For Lowenstein said he didn’t feel the despair that young people did. the men that are not total pacifists, total conscientious objection is impossible, and In the sense he meant I agree with him. As far as the solution of the selective conscientious objection does not exist in the United States. The consequences of various probelms the country faces, I am optimistic.

That is The type of despair that I experience will never be able to be commendable, and now the question arises as to what Father Hesburgh’s action will be. changed by the actions of an Allard Lowenstein, since people like He has taken a moral stand similar to many students, but the day-to-day consequences of him are the cause of it. 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 whatsoever 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. Yet what type of administrators, together with the faculty, students that resist the Vietnam war have at leaders will we become? least a chance. ____ Will we be the type of people that substitute emotion, for reason How could a sancturay 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 constitutionality of the present war. Perhaps faculty members would wishes and turn to mob action and violence in attempts to join with the students to the extent that they would stand with them before the intimidate existing bodies into following the course of action punishment of the state. dictated by the strident voices among us. 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. Other means for students raising the funds are same ideals many of us hold. available. The attitude underlying the philosophy held by many students The sanctuary would be voluntary, it would allow older men to contribute their time, today is pockmarked with naievete. We crow about immediate their knowledge, their moral support, and perhaps their money to a group of students withdrawal from Vietnam, without even bothering to think about resisting what they have judged to be an immoral and unjust war. It is a means for Father the consequences. We crow about how it is good that this country is Hesburgh to take a concrete action as an individual, a means for him to respond as an undergoing a near defeat in southeast Asia without bothering to face individual to the moral dillemna that many of his students are going to face alone unless up to the painful fact that the strength of America is the only thing the community acts. that blocks the Russians, Chinese and Cubans from extending either One suggestion that I would offer is that Professor Charles McCarthy, who has a law direct or indirect influence over great areas of the world.
