The Sally Hemings Vol 1, No. 7

THE SALLY HEMMINGS WILL PRINT THE NAMES OF ANY MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY OR ADMINISTRATION WHO INTIMIDATE STUDENT STRIKERS. Please call 296-7208.

With his stand against the war, President Shannon has begun to move in the right direction. His cool restraint Sunday night was also encouraging. Insofar as he has begun to move in this direction, we support him. We understand the strength and courage required to take his stand in the face of the inevitable negative reation from around the state. This reaction has begun to materialize in its ugliest forms. Members of the university community would be wise to contact public personages throughout the Commonwealth and urge them to endorse President Shannon's letter to Senators Byrd and Spong. The loss of Mr. Shannon to the anti-intellectual, hot-headed elements in Virginia would end any hopes of an open university.

WE THE PEOPLE (Part 1) The University of Virginia has been insulated in its green triangle for too long. Friday night's activities brought us into shocking confrontation with one aspect of city life. But we share other and more pervasive concerns. One of these is the war in Vietnam.

In the weeks to come, our Peace Movement must take steps to include the poor whites, the blacks and the old southern conservatives. These people are paying for this war, both physically and financially, more than anyone in the University. They don't get the draft deferments we get. Their bodies provide the cannon fodder for this bloody holocaust. And it is upon their backs that Mr. Nixon has so callously laid the success of his elitist economic policies. These facts must be brought to their attention. Let's work to include these people in our stuggle. PEACE WILL COME ONLY THROUGH SOLIDARITY.

TODAY'S PORK FUTURES: Outa sight, man. (But still around...in area motels..you'd better use the back sear of your car this weekend.)

THE JOHN WAYLES MEDAL OF HONOR AWARD TO: The Reverend Arie Bestebreurtje for valor above and beyond the call in his behind-the-lines defense of George Babbitt.

REMEMBER THE MAYFLOWER.
