Students Present 10,000 Petitions in Washington
A 16 member delegation from the Committee for New Hampshire and Vermont Canvass delivered an anti war petition with about 10,000 signatures. They met with lawmakers Norris Cotton and Thomas McIntyre and Representatives James Cleveland and Louis Wyman. Keene State College student Wayne Helie urged opposition to U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia, likening Vietnam to China influence and Newfoundland to the United States. The canvass involves about 2,000 people, claims 45 percent of those contacted signed, and seeks constructive democratic expression rather than radical student action.
