An anti-draft rally has been
scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday

coln Post Office to demonstrate
support for Larry Zink, who
will be sentenced in Federal
Court Friday for destroying his
draft card.
The primary purpose of the
rally is to make the anti-war
sentiment visible to the people
of Lincoln and the state of
Nebraska, according to Steve
Tiwald, organizer of the rally.
Zink pleaded guilty Dec. 2,
1969, on charges that he burned
his draft card before several
hundred people at a Hyde
Park session in the Nebraska
Union Feb. 13, 1969.

Zink, a former honor student,
said, "We want the public to
know that ordinary, average
students and not just radicals
are opposed to the war."
"I BELIEVE in freedom. I
don't believe the draft has any
place in a democratic society.
This is why I pleaded guilty,"
Zink said.
"We hope the demonstration
will define the issues about the

First Amendment," said Mike
