15,000 Back Viet Nam Policy
By RUTH CARR
Heavy rain reduced attendance but
did not effect the spirit of more than
15.000 people in Atlanta Stadium Sat
urday at the Affirmation: Viet Nani ral
ly.
They came to prove that, as Dean Rusk
put it, “The integrity of the pledged woid
of the United States is the principal pillar
of peace.”
A motorcade from the University took
many students to the meeting. Plans to
charter buses were cancelled when most of
the students indicated a preference to go
by car.
Among those on the speakers’ platform
were Gov. Carl Sanders, Secretary of State
Dean Rusk, Gen. Lucius D. Clay, U. S.
Army Ret., Senators Richard Russell and
Herman Talmadge, Atlanta Mayor Ivan
Allen and Buddy Darden and Jim Martin,
representing the University.
The widely-publicized poll, Affirmation:
Viet Nam. was presented to the dignitaries
at the gathering. The results revealed that
96.6 percent of the 253,7S1 Georgians poll
ed support the United States’ commitment
in Viet Nam.
Rusk, the keynote speaker, received the
loudest cheers. He referred to a small band
of pickets outside the stadium who carried
signs saying "Peace in Viet Nam,” saying
they brought those signs to the wrong ad
dress. "I have been carrying that sign for
five years to every capital of the world . . .’’
In praise of American soldiers, Rusk ad
ded. "They are fighting with a proficiency
and a gallantry unsurpassed in the annals
of American military history.”

Sanders told the group that the United
States’ answer to its enemies "must be clear;
it must be unmistakahle. Our words can
sometimes he misconstrued, but our deeds
cannot he . . . ”
The rally was compared by Sen. Russell
to “the answer of the sons and daughters
of the old Umpire State of the South to
doubting Thomases throughout the world.”
A reminder came from Sen. Talmadge
that, "Our enemy has stated that we are a
paper tiger. If our men pulled out of Viet
Nam . . . we would indeed be proved to be a
paper tiger."
"Our real strength is in the simple pur
poses of the American people,” Secretary
Rusk said. "The simple idea that govern
ments derive their Just powers from the

US Victory
By LEWIS PACE
S/Sprt. Harry Sadler, in an
exclusive interview for the
Red and Black, said that the
war in Viet N T am has many
facets, hut if understood and
properly supported by our
country, it could be won.
The "Singing Sergeant” who
appeared in Atlanta Saturday
at the Affirmation: Viet Nam
rally said that he was sure that
efforts such as this on the part
of civilians—especially college
students—would surely have a
positive effect on the morale
of American troops in war-torn
Southeast Asia.
"We all know that the draft
card burners and teach-ins rep
resent only a small fraction of
the folks back home, but it’s
going to be great to have some'
thing like this to point out as
an example of the more serious
responsible students,” he said
When met at the airport by
an old Army buddy, with four
University co-eds in tow, the
intrepid Viet Nam veteran was
’mshaken. He invited everyone
to a party after the rally where
he talked over old times, told
of his experiences in Viet Nam
and composed songs for two of
the young ladies present.

Theatre Presents k Visit’
By ROBERT SPELL
University Theatre’s production of Friederich Duerren-
matt’s ‘‘the Visit” will premier Wednesday and continue
through Saturday at 8 p.tn. in Fine Arts Auditorium.
Eva Stellby and P e t u r
Einarsson will star in this
chilling melodramatic story
of a woman who calculatedly
buys the honor of an entire
town. A large supporting cast
will portray the impecunious
townspeople.
In (he play. Miss Slellby
and Einur»*on will create the
roles first performed in the
U. S. by Lynn Fontanne and
Alfred Lunt when the play
was a great surcess on the
Broadway stage.
“The Visit” gets its title
from the ghoulish return to a
stagnating town of its most
celebrated citizen. She comes
to extract a ruthless revenge
on the man who ruined her
when she was 17. She wants
him killed. She wants to take
him with her, when she leaves,
in the neatly zippered coffin
that she has brought along In
readiness.
For this service she Is wil
ling to endow the town with
a billion marks. She has pre-
pari-d the town for this pro
posal by slowly impoverish
ing it over the years, by se
cretly buying up its indus
tries and stifling them.
The play’s suspenseful action
traces the town's dilemma over
accepting the woman’s malevo
lent benevolence, and the
struggles of the merciless wom
an’s intended victim—a now
aging, seedy storekeeper—to
escape the fate that he fears
his neighbors may he planning
for him.
Miss Stellby is n junior-in-
residence, coming to Georgia
this year from the School of
Dramatic Art, Gothenburg,
Sweden, and the Municipal
Theatre of Stockholm. Swed
en.
As a member of a troupe
she has toured with several
plays, including Arthur Miller’s
“Death of a Salesman.” Her
background includes experience
and work with a private theatre
in Stockholm and in radio.
At the Municipal Theatre
in Upsala, a repertory theatre.
Miss Stellby performed in va-
I rious plays by Strindberg and
Pirandello. Just prior to her
commitment to the University,
; she toured with a play by
j Swedish author Hjalmar Berg
man.
Einarsson, another junior
artist-in-residence, comes from
tlie Reykjavik Theatre and
School of Dramatic Art, Reyk
javik, Iceland. His theatrical
experience includes roles in a
wide range of plays, including
“La Ronde,” “Romeo and
Juliet,” "Sunday in New York”

Senate Bill 230 is commonly
known as the “Speaker Ban”
hill, and is virtually the same
hill which was killed in a Geor
gia House committee two years
ago.
The hill was patterned on a
similar measure which was en
acted into law in North Caro
lina three years ago, and was
introduced by Senators Frank
Miller of DeKalb, Frank Down
ing of Savannah, and Albert
Minish of Commerce.
PROVISIONS
S.ll. 230 provides that the
use of facilities of colleges and
universities receiving monies
from Georgia will he closed to
persons (1) who are. or have
been, members of the Com
munist party; (2) who have
advocated the overthrow of the
government and/or constitu
tions of the United States or
the State of Georgia; (3) who
have pleaded the Fifth Amend
ment on any question about
subversive activities or mem
bership in subversive organiza
tions before any federal or
state investigating bodies; and
(4) who are, or have been,
members of any organization
listed on the Attorney General’s
list of subversive organizations
for purposes of spenking, en
tertaining or any other pur
pose.
The bill now has the endorse
ment of 3 3 state senators, and
must come before the Senate
for Its third reading and vot
ing on passage before the regu
lar session ends on Friday.
The hill was given Its second
reading Saturday, a day usual
ly put aside for local legisla
tion.
GOVERNOR'S VETO?
Sen. Julian Webb of Donal-
sonvllle, who is the administra
tion’s spokesman on this issue,
reports that tho Governor will
veto the bill, which means that
the bill must pass the entire
legislature by a two-thirds
vote.
If the hill passes, it may
mean the resignation of many
professors in the state univer
sity system, as well as a threat
of loss of accreditation from
the Southern Assn, of Schools
and Colleges.
