In a flurry of activity Wednesday,
ASUN assumed leadership to help
students express their feelings on the
Indochina war.
Both in the third floor ASUN office
and at tables cn first floor of the
Nebraska Union coordinators originated
and began a variety of activities in
which students could participate.
By Wednesday afternoon over 2,700
letters had been mailed from the Union
to inform representatives in Washington
of student feelings on the Indochina
crisis. Paper, stamps, envelopes and
addresses are all being provided.
ALSO, SEVERAL hundred students be
gan canvassing Wednesday afternoon in
Lincoln, Omaha and Grand Island, ac
cording to Phil Calandra, an NU student.
Canvassers, after receiving information
on the Indochina war, are discussing
the situation with citizens in the com
munities. Canvassers are also explaining the NU
student strike and especially urging
citizens to write to their Congressmen
on the Indochina war, Calandra said.
The Student Strike Committee has also
written a petition urging that the United
States Congress take immediate action
because of President Richard M. Nixon's
recent expansion of the war in In
dochina. Students may sign the petition
in the Union.
The ASUN Strike Committee is also
sponsoring Political Education Seminars
to begin the task of self-education.
Speakers are appearing in the Union
and at many living units.
"WE DID not call this strike to stop
learning, but to begin: What do vou
know about Vietnam?" said an ASUN
statement.
A complaint answering service also
began receiving calls Wednesday, said
Margie Griffin, chairman of the ASUN
Comments and Complaints Committee.

She added that the committee would
like to receive comments, questions or
complaints about any activities con
nected with the student strike.
Miss Griffin also aid that Richard E.
Gilbert, professor of chemical engineer
ing, and chairman of the faculty liaison
committee, confirmed that no sanctions
can be taken against a student who
misses classes.. Any actions that might
be taken against a student should be
called in to the complaint committee.
The number is 472-2581.
Students also began "picketing"
Wednesday. Chuck Rucker, an NU stu
dent in social welfare, emphasized that
'picketing" means students are
distributing materials to try to inform
more students about the strike.
"These students are in no way trying
to stop students from going to classes
or intimidating them," Rucker said.
AN EFFORT is also being made by
letter to get cooperation from Lincoln
churches in discussing the Indochina
situation, he said.
Rucker also noted that the presidents
of the dormitories have formed a strike
coordinating committee. The committee
is attempting to achieve wide-spread
distribution of printed materials in
residence halls. The hub of the activity
is at the Smith Hall switchboard.
Pian3 are being considered for booths
at two suburban Lincoln shopping
centers and downtown to distribute
materials.
File complaints
Complaints against teachers for ap
plying sanctions to students boycotting
classes should be presented to the ASUN
office.
A resolution passed by several hundred
faculty members Tuesday said students
should not be punished for missing
classes. The number to call for com
plaints is 472-2531.
Rally plans
for 15,000
Plans for a rally to be held
Saturday at the Northwest
corner of the Nebraska Union
are being completed, according
to coordinator Jack Stout, an
official for Nebraskans for
Peace.
New additions to the speaker
list at the rally now include
former basketball star Bill
Russell; candidate for the
Unicameral, Ernie Chambers;
and Esquire magazine Vietnam
correspondent, John Sack.
Stout also said that Win
nebago Indians from Nebraska
would be coming to the event to
protest recent government in
terference with Indian lands.
Students are calling the
Peace Office from all over the
state informing him that
busloads of students will be at
tending the rally, Stout add
ed. At the present time plans art
also being made to accomodate
what Stout says could be a
crowd of 15,000 and possibly
more."
