The spta'tor a-frswered:: 1) because th-e anti-war wieA-ewieTit ixs mo longer irti-e iproipcrty of students and -college intelkcTuate; and 2) to lis do ttoTtger., even among yoking ifvcoWie, the (property -of 5 he left, Trwe, n'hre we sTi'H a groat many student who side with Nixon.. IBa. a :grc.al imany -others, heretofore -of ircse-rvod (Opinions, an3 wen some -off hawkish pinion, have now -come iTounfl tto heheving that we s'hou'14 puU -out night away. If you -saw a "Crowd of O0;OO0 war ipTOfesters two -or three years Jtgo, '"Ou -could safely -conclude that kt 'Cent io' them were Mark RuMs, Dwight MacDona'lds. or Benjamin Spocfcs; (today, they ou'ld include -student athletes, Vietnam veterans, and Hoca'l ibusinessmen, 31e :might have -added a third ipoint. It is that the -extraordinary (development involving "China lis 4i -crucial iptfyc'ho'logical Wow to those w ho ..'.'lieve that tenacity in Viietnam tis indispensable to t'he -stabilization iof Asia. THE POSITION -of Lyndon Johnson and ftkhard Nixon ((and ol -course of their Secretaries of State and Joint Oiiefs 'has Ibeen the -domino theory, If South Vietnam w-erc -co m m u n i zed Iby toree., the resistance tin Cambodia,, Laos -and Malaysia would -cease. $nrroinde-d, Thailand wotul-d -change governments, a nd vote irn one hose toretgn policy was the inst rumen t -of hrna. The ipressures on Undonesia's 'hundred imillion would ibe iinsu:ppo'rta!b.le. Ne'u tf -course, the (Philippines, w'ho cou'ld 'not -easily ibreat'he iin that iron ilung, as 'Western -oriented -enclave. South Korea would Hogicalty !be next, once gain through the satellization -of iits (policies. Then time tor the 'big one, Japan. If the U nited States irnade it plain that it would tnot !ltve mp to its commitments under S'EATO, then Japan's -choice would 'be ito -cooperate w irh the rreaf by great ipower, -ot $o lit alone, Do you tea Fly ibelieve all -of that -domino ttheory ibusiness, -someone .asked President Nixon Jit tfhe (GovernoTs'1 Conference a year 4igo? The SPresident -snapped 'back: As the -dominoes. Indeed. But now the famous iPing Pong -development. It 'has weakened -an indispensible ip'lank in all the -scaffolding. The treason why Mr. Nixon is exdhancinc -pleasantries with Red (China is. althotuglii fiott spolce, q'uiiit -clear: Oiii-na is (different STOiWi ttie Oiina whicli rs mneleS into its present conditio-'H ttiwyugls two (decades of aggresskwi, tottwc, convulsion, an4 enophob-ia: tht China wnicfe was t'he lmaim tTiret to t'he -dominoes. It isn't (dear wfretner lie intended xct5y to -caU attention to t'he (difference, lbiat in effect he did so wlien two wecl;s ago Mr, Nixon was asked w-tiy, Kinder t'he (csremstances, we &em $o ancad and recognize Cuba. We had a iflasn of trie Oka Nixon, Because , he WrnmatCMa, Cuba is -determined to Ibe a ibad meig'hrOT, -detenrnimed to encourage a hatred of .Anjetica, (determined to disrupt :hemispneTic relations. ONE CAN ONLY ASSUME tt!hat, iff Mr, Nixon was thinking irigorous'ly, he no longer Ibdlicves -fluite so much a"bout China. Granted, he hasn't yet recognized China, hat he leaves mis all to Ibelicve that that its mere Normality, What -does that -do to the -domino theory'.? Nothing. But it -docs a $Tcat (deal to those who Ibelieve in the (domino ttheory. Because they have suddenly ibeen asxed to heTieve that we s'hoja'ld tthin'k of Red China as imcTcly another Soviet Union. I happen to think that its -quite fead enoug'h, '-but in fact the Soviet Union has mot overrun any new -countrj', mor lhas tit ((ycti satelilized the ipolitics of any contiguous -country sim-e the Czechoslovakia -coup of l'4f?. And China lhas mot tta'ken any mew tenrit ory since Tihet, if you (don't count a little !gob -of India. Why then is tit necessary to -contain China Iby fighting a surrogate war iin Southeast Asia? Many Americans will suddenly wonder, If Mr, Nixon and Chouu Em-Hai aire prepared to settle their -differences ait a tnegotiating ta'ble, why mot let t'he Southcaifl Asian thing run its -course.? We are (beholden, iin a w-ay, to t'he South Vietnamese people, yes; Ibut we are mot ibeholdem to them ex-ccpt in a grander context which presupposes that iif we llct them -down, little Iby little a whole tier -of nations will Ibecome instruments of an enemy Ibcnt on the destruction of the United States. I -do mot, imyse'lf, -doubt that Mt, Nixon lis playing -chess in China. But he .should be reminded t'hat there are lots and lots of spectators who will mot only be surprised Iby some -of his i moves, but -dismayed. And iif and when !he is iin a posiftion t o -cry -dheck tmate'!, he imay Hook around him amd tfmd that ttihere lis nobody Heft there t o applaud. &lFOPE 7ZU3 ME 7D GO TO MU, SlT YOU fChOW ME MKE 7D DE BEYOND MY MEANS, IfoO m i nww 'mi I"""' ii If&WT AT Tv f2 OF 7tf TUNNEL '..vwt rrp mOi M0R14KTY,di1(iT CONNIE WINKLER, imanaging -edil-w JOHN DVORMCmewsedittfir GENE iHILLM 4N,dvertiing inunutA'er J! 4MES KORNEJL, Chairman, pulilk-ntiom, -ewmmittee 1XH OKI fk!L ST Uf Stuff -wi-iten.: (Ciury 'Suuurettt, THunlliu IHimnurt.

For this tdisotswnry G-tftikiO was idiHimiiMiSffifl fmwm the unaiiweiisiiry amd natipnisoincJ If-ow teadhiite moukccepteJ truths. What I am tryins to say is this: The discovery of nudear fission has brought people of the world face to face with the staifc leahty that survival of mankind is at stake. A way to live without war must be found or mankind is doomed. Governments and most people refused to accept the truth, so it is today. University teachers are being dismissed for teacbisig the unaccepted truth just as they were 400 years ago. Hundieds are in prison for trying to end war, in America as wei as other countries. The governments of the wtsrid have phinged into the biggest arms race of all time. There wa! allways be war? How long is always? Geologists tell us that if we use the Wasbiiintstom Monument as a measure of time since the earth was being formed, a postage stamp on the top will represent the ttimme man has lived on the earth. The tthiickimess off the gHue on the stamp wflffl represent the time smnce Jesus Christ walked on the earth. Now consider that it has been onOy &(b years since the beginniimg off the techsiKoillogiical age. It has been mBy 23 years since the atom bomb was first dropped on Hiroshima. Senators I leave at (to you to measure the timme m this scale. The ffact that the bommb has mot destroyed us its not so reassuring its it? How long cam the govermmeiHtts off the m-orld continue to imnanufacttuire nnuiKilear bonnabs nerve gas and a vast array off other death dealing sophisticated weapons? Can this continue 20ffl years? ZK0H9 years? or mly 2 years without destroying aM of mis. Some time the direction m i! iuwe to change. The ttikme its mow.

The people nnaiiiMtt Bne heard.. That its the reasGxm moost off uus are here tofla-y. A Hanng jjouumney ftiegams with the first step. Senators. I beg you to take that first step today, to end war vote Resolution 32. On a recent trip to Paris by 50 Protestant Ministers, they were told by Thjch Nhat Kanh, a Buddhist Monk, "The options that are open to the United States are: Peaceful Co-existance or Co-Non-Existance". There are ISO hydrogen bombs stored in neighboring Missouri. Four Airforce Officers there can trigger the missks without orders from anyone. The Airforce states that our minuteman missiles have no destruct mechanism which can destroy them after an accidental launch. The only real enemy of the United States is their own paramoidal fear of commumism that has caused them to surround themselves with weapons that cannot be used without totally destroying swn country . Peace, Fred Schroeder biological equivalents of a fertilized egg or embryo. In any organism, the sperm or ova are cells of a sexually mature individual of the species; functionally specialized cells in the same sense that a liver ceD is specialized. A fertilized egg, however, has biological uniqueness. It is totipotent, a new and genetically different individual of a species that proceeds inexorably to maturation characteristic of that specks. Few living sperm or ova are brash enough to make that claim. At least I hope not; otherwise, for many species, there goes a large part of the fun in life. J.
