Rep. Powell will speak Feb. 19
The Rev. Adam Clayton
Powell Jr., controversial black
congressman from New York
City, will speak at the East
Campus Union Feb. 19.
Powell will arrive the morn
ing of the speech, according to
Mamee Rojewski, of the East
Union Special Events com
mittee. He will confer with members
of the Afro-American Collegiate
Society before the speech, she
said.
Since entering politics in
1941, Powell has been one of the
most controversial members of
the House of Representatives,
Miss Rojewski pointed out.
Powell won re-election to the
House in 1964 by the largest
plurality he had ever obtained,
but he came under increasing
fire for his use of public funds
in widespread travels.
Before the 1967 session of
Congress, the House voted to
deny him his seat in the 90th
Congress the fifth man in
this century to receive such a
penalty. Powell immediately
filed suit to regain his seat.
In November of 1968, consti
tuents of Harlem, who had been
without representation In
Congress for a year and a half,
again elected Powell to the
House, again by a gigantic
majority.
Powell immediately an
nounced he would take his seat
in the 91st Congress, with or
without seniority. When, on
January 3, 1969, the House
voted 251 to 160 to seat Powell,
he agreed to their conditions
that he pay a $25,000 fine and
lose years of seniority.

Protest result hard to measure
Organizers of the Monday evening pro
test against Vice President Spiro Agnew
refused over the weekend to speculate how
many demonstrators will show up Monday
night.
Mike Shonsey, coordinator of the
Moratorium Committee, said that "a couple
of hundred" demonstrators might make the
protest successful. But success is awlays
"hard to measure," he added.
Shonsey and other members of the
Moratorium Committee outlined tactics for
the anti-Agnew activities at a weekend
news conference.
Shonsey described the planned
demonstration as "peaceful" with people
standing along the edge of the sidewalk
at Pershing Auditoium.
"There will be no marching or
obstructing of traffic and we have the
cooperation of the police department " he
explained. '
The Vice President is scheduled to ar
rive at the Lincoln Municipal Airport about
1:30 p.m. The demonstration will begin
about 6 p.m. in front of Pershing Municipal
Auditorium.
In the afternoon a rally will be held
at 3:30 in the Union Ballroom prior to
the demonstration to explain demonstration
procedure.
Main speaker at the rally will be John
Swomley, professor of Christian Ethics at
the St. Paul School of Theology in Kansas
City, Mo.
Swomley is president of the American
Civil Liberties Union In Western Missouri
and a member of the National Board of
ACLU. He is also a member of the Com
mittee on Civil and Religious Liberty of
the National Council of Churches and a
member of the General Board of Christian
Social Concerns of the Methodist Church.
