You Said Iti
Question: What do you think of Nixon’s military withdrawal
efforts?
Anna Dixon (student) — “I
think he’s put
ting on a good
show in order to |
try to appease
anti-war feelings |
in the U.S.”
Dixon
Major John Guthrie (sol
dier) — “The President decides
on the foreign
policy. Sec
ondly profes
sional Army
" officers are
Guthrie probably more
pacifist than any other group
you’d meet because when any
thing in the world happens, we
are the first to go. If the Presi
dent decides that his foreign
objectives oan be met by with
drawal of forces, then I am
very pleased that we can do
this. . .especially because I have
been told that I will be going
back to Vietnam myself.
Joseph Hobbs (Student) —
“First of all I feel that this
withdrawal is entirely too slow
to hope for any worthwhile re
sponse from the North Viet
namese. We must remember
that we bombed these people’s
homes and in doing so created
a great deal of anti-U.S. senti
ment for a negotiated peace.
These people don’t trust us any
more than we trust them and
Washington is just playing
politics with the American
Public. The North Vietnamese
probably feel that they have
everything to lose. Therefore
we should commit ourselves
to a genuine demonstration of
peace by offering an immediate
and complete unilateral with
drawal. Until this is done
Nixon is only padding his
pockets until 1972.”

Jacob Beil (Law Student) —
“I’m not so sure I know what
he's up to. There seems to be a
great deal of confusion and
ambiguity on withdrawal fig
ures. I think it’s hypocritical to
base military decisions on
college protest. This Is no ade
quate basis for judgment. Ex
pedient measures like these
lead me to doubt his sincerity
and capability of ending the
war.”
Lynn Mayes (Student) — “I
really wonder how effective
President Nixon’s troop with
drawal is. True Nixon is draw
ing troops out but it seems to
me that more boys are being
sent over to Vietnam every
day. I am confused. If we are
supposed to be withdrawing
troops then why are we
sending more troops over
there?”
The Mercer ‘‘Cluster” is pre

issues to come. In an effort to
