uskie link s war. dragging economy by JIM PEDERSEN Staff Writer The big an,'"war demonstrations and speeches were in Washington D.C. Saturday, but in Lincoln Nebraska Democrats responded to Maine Sea Edmund Muskie's largely anti-war address with similar enthusiasm. Speaking before about l,SO0 Democrats at the annual $35-a-plate Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner, Muskie linked the lagging state of the American economy with the dragging war in Indochina. Considered the front -running Democrat for the presidential nomination in 1972, Muskie said Richard Nixon has given the Democrats "good reasons to win" by promsing but failing to end the war and 'creating a mess with the economic situation.'" The audience was cool to Muskie references to military espionage of private citizens and FBI incursions into privacy. Statements on unemployment, the farm problem and the economy didn't receive overwhelming response either. But the Democrats from the once hawkish "heart of the heartland'" continally broke into Muskie's speech with applause for his anti-war statements. "No issue has undermined public confidence more than the war in Indochina," the Maine senator saidr Americans everywhere yearn for a clear cut and definite commitment to end our involvement in that war. "But the President tells us that a fixed date for withdrawal will tear the country apart. I say that a fixed -date will give the American people some confidence that their leaders do intend a new beginning for American foreign policy. They could have a mew confidence that we intend to use our power, not to impose our will through force of arms, but to lend a helping hand for justice and peace." Muskie added that the economic problems of America, such as 'unemployment, inflation, and declining incomes are directly relared to the war. "It is time we understood we do not need war to prosper, he said. "We need peace." Muskie denied that those advocating "getting out of the quicksand of Vietnam" were advocating a new form of isolationism. "I believe that the opposition of the American people to the continuation of the war in Vietnam has nothing to do with isolationism," he said. "The American people are willing to accept their responsibilities, but they -do not believe that what we have been doing in, and to, Vietnam, Cambodia, ot Laos, is a proper exercise of that world responsibility ." Muskie said in his world travels he felt people were suspicious and hostile towards the United States because of recent U.S. policies. He added, however, that the people of the world "have a deep and abiding hope that we will respond to the best interests of the world. "We owe it to them and ourselves to become the last best hope of mankind." New programlo help students As part of a constant effort to meet the changing health needs of the University community, the U Health Service has recently begun a Crisis Health Aid Program. Based on the concept of crisis intervention, the new program is designed to help students before their problems become too great to solve, according to Carmen -Grant, clinical pyschologist at the Health Center. Unique to this campus, the program is not a substitute for the regular services offered through the University Mental Health Clinic. Instead, it is an addition to the Clinic by providing students with direct service during the -evening hours. Grant said. Crisis Health Aides, NU students trained by the Mental Health Clinic, volunteer to work at the Center from h p.m. to 7 a.m. weekdays and 3 p.m. to 7 a.m. on weekends. The rvioe's number is 472-2200. The new service will be strictly confidential, as are other Health Center services, she emphasized. CSL . . Muskie Continued from page 2. but took no action on the proposal. The Board of Regents must give final approval for both the guest policy and the coed dormitories. In other business at the CSL Friday graduate student Fritt Edelstein suggested that CSL institute a regular "State of the University" speech to be given to students and faculty by the Lincoln Campus President. Edelstein said it should become a traditional assembly, perhaps yea tly, to improve communication at the University. After the address, the President would accept questions from the audience, ne added. Hubbard... Continued from page I -department and the University. He said his dismissal resulted partly from disagreements he had with department chairman Dale K, Hayes. Hayes said late Sunday that he did not know what health reasons would cause Hubbard to resign, adding that members of the department will assume responsibility for the two classes Hubbard was teaching. The department chairman again refused to elaborate on the reasons behind Hubbard's dismissal. Hayes noted that there was little point in giving the reasons now that Hubbard has resigned . In his letter of resignation Hubbard referred to his department's recommendation that he not be rehired as "a lynching" and added: ""Without a codified statement of reasons for my dismissal and without the aid of a hearing where 1 was in attendance, it became most difficult for me to correct evaluations ibased upon false and mistaken information for constitutionally impermissible reasons." Before the Regents decided, to dismiss HubbaTd,, the assistant professoT was invited to a departmental hearing -on his case. But HubbaTd refused to attend, saying his attorneys had advised him not to attend without an advance list of reasons for his possible Return Engagement THE If 24 CANS JUST $2.99 See SSI US!!
