Ken said that Mr. Wallace feels that :
America should strive for a win in Viet Nam
and be a "big brother" to communist oppressed
nations. Furthermore Wallace was not a bigot
contrary to the general opinion held by most
Yor+ l, erners. Ken claimed that Wallace is a
conserirati7e candidate and is often wronfT,ly
er'ticized since his views are so clear.
The views of Democratic candidate,
^e for Po'ert Kennedy were given last
m 4 'e Andrews. lie said that Senator Kennedy
feels America's youth are beinp; burdened too
7reativ '77 the pro l 'lems of another generation.
T'e.. said Kennedy is concerned with the youths'
direction and the nr'-an crisis and would
remedy 'oth 1 - y 'Thetter job and educational
onrortnnities. Mike stated that Senator Kennedy's
views on Vietnam were often misquoted and gave
Kennedy's plan for a temporary cease-fire with
a limited time to prove America's willingness
to ne-mtiate peace. We quoted Mr. Kennedy as
stntin-r, that in Providing peace and security,
every American is responsible for what is done.
The responsive question-answer period

HISTORY IN THE MAKING
The events of the last three weeks
-hich have taven rlace in the United
(tatts , and will undonhtedly -o down in

themselves to some reflection on the
rer of all. Americans. The surprising;
announcement of President Johnson's
from the coming presidential
election emlsos a reevalflation of one's

Pndoubtedly made one positive step toward
unifying the country.
Almost immedietly following the
President's announcement, another monnmental
event took place which could bring the
United States towards a greater unity.
Hanoi's proposal may be only a half sq-7. ,
in the direction of peace in Viet Nam, but
it is a half step farther than we have
been in the last years. Perhaps this also
will be another effort towards an end to the
discord whichhas become so prevalent in
the United States today.
Last but certainly not least in a
chain of three history making events was
the death of Negro leader, Dr. Martin
T”+ l- Ig!r King, Jr. An advocate of non
violent means for attaining equality for
the Negro race,his death triggered a series
of riots in major cities throughout the
United States which may serve as a preview
of the coming long, hot summer. Perhaps
the violent death of the man who has tried
to do so much for the Negro by non-violent
means will serve as a remineer to all men
of the advantages and ends of non-violence
and bring about a greater movement towards
domestic peace in the United States.
In conclusion, the trilogy of incidents
of the past three weeks have brought about
a crisis in the U.S. It is a time for all
Americans to reevaluate their positions
and come to the support of their nation, for
just as a house divided cannot stand ,
neither can a nation divided survive in
these perilous times. fii(6
