Nearly 4,000 representatives,
including Nebraska students,
launched an new attack on
racism and U.S. involvement in
Vietnam at the Student
Mobilization Committee Con
ference ("New Mobe") last
weekend in Cleveland, Ohio.
It was in the largest
assembly of radicals in the
history of the nation," ac
cording to freshman Bill
Tiwald, who attended the con
ference with five other NU
students.
Racism was cited as one of
the foremost causes of
American involvement in the
war, he said.
A policy paper distributed at
the conference stated: "This
SMC Convention can mark a
turning point in the fight for
peace and can start to build a
black, brown and white move
ment that will have the power

to end the war.
"The foremost question the
peace movement must tackle,
along with the war itself, is
RACISM. In this war, black
youth die in disproportionate
numbers in Vietnam. Racism
in the military is admitted even
by the Pentagon, but black GI's
are still persecuted," the paper
continues.
Many organizations sent
representatives to the con
ference, Tiwald said.
"Everything from Black
Panthers, to Weathermen, to
Students for a Democratic
Society were there," he said.
Groups supporting women's
liberation, equal rights for
homosexuals and religious op
position to the war were among
the many interest groups at the
conference, he said.

Kaminski, another NU
freshman who attended the
conference.
Miss Kaminski said the 4,000
participants met in a gym

for April 13-18.

When expressing their ideas,
they would grab the
microphone and start swear

Participants were friendly
outside the meeting room,
Miller continued. "Everyone
called each other brother or
sister," he recalled.
Tiwald commented that there
was much disunity among the
'New Mobe'
ordinator of Nebraskans for
Feace.
"Hester fears the President
has closed the door to all
honest negotiations," Shonsey
said. He also believes there is
great danger of another world
war developing as a result of
the Vietnam conflict.
Hester Is critical of Nixon for
failing to carry out his cam
paign promises of ending the
war and abolishing military
conscription, Shonsey said.
Hester fought in World War
I, World War II and Korea. He
won the Silver Star and the
French Croix de Guerre for
gallantry in World War I. The
general was subsequently
awarded the Distinguished
Service Medal and membership
in the French Legion of Honor.
After retiring, Hester did
graduate work in international
relations at the University of
Pennsylvania. He has been
speaking and writing on
American foreign policy for the
past 12 years.

wanted to pick up a gun," he
said. "I am a pacifist and
would hate to see anything like
this happen."
"The conference reinforced
my opinion that the peace issue
is not dead," Tiwald said. "It
fired me up, but it also
depressed me, because I was
made aware of how much
repression exists in America."
