Around Campus 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.” Resolutions Presented at Waverly FRESH 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 senting a new feature in the issues to come.
