Their in telligence and energy could be critical, and in many places even decisive, if they got down to the hard work of helping the best candidates available. It all depends, however, on whether they want to dream or work.” These were the words of James Renton of the New York Times as be spoke about CHOICE 88, the first national collegiate presidential primary to be held on April 24 on some 1000 college and university campuses.

Report on Canada As a Draft Escape The Newfoundland Committee to Aid Anierican War Objectors is a group of individuals concerned not odly about America’s role in Viet Nam, but more especially with her impressment into military service of persons opposed to the war. Since the alternatives to such forced service are clearly limited, religious conscientious objection (resulting frequently in behind the lines service or imprisonment), many Americans have chosen exile. Canadu, both geographically and culturally akin to the United States, does not require military service of its residents. Moreover, Canada does not extradite aliens who seek refuge here from compulsory mili tary service. Consequently, this country has attracted over fourteen thousand young, conscientious Americans in the past few years. This committee is one of a num ber of 'underground railroad ter minals’ formed across Canada to aid these refugees in the fields of housing, employment, education i)nd legal counsel.
