With  committees organized
and apparent administrative support, plans for the Oct. 15 Vietnam Moratorium have reached
the tentative stage.

WASHINGTON CAP)   - President Nixon, in another summons
to  national unity on Vietnam,
was. quoted as vowing he will
not become ••the first president
-   to preside over an American defeat."
••""'» Sen. Hugh Scott of Pennsylva-
, nia said Nixon restated that determination to a group of about
10 Republican senators at the
White. House Tuesday night.
. Scott,, the Senate GOP leader,
said the discussion centered on
the administration's effort to
achieve unityJbehind the Amer-
-'r igah policy.~~~~~~'  "V"- "~ """"
.- He said Nixon told the-,sena-
tors he does not seek adevastat- '
ing  defeat  of North  Vietnam.
"He, repeated that he offered
r*     peace with honor-and justice to
' both sides," Scott reported.
..   Scott    also    said;Nixon de-
-        scribed, his May & peace' pro-"
posals as the fairest ever of-,
fered by any nation •* in an iriter-
.;   national war of this sort."
Sen. John G. .Tower, R-Tex., '
- told a news conference the United  States should consider re-
- suming  the  bombing- ot North
v Vietnam unless the Communists,
V-■*'    within days.offerindicationsthey
will move toward peace. -
•'..•■- Tower, was not at the White
House meeting: and said he had
 not discussed his proposal—a
retort to demands for UjS. with,
■   drawal-*with the President.
. Folksinger Tim Hardin may .
appear the evening of the Moratorium, although Gregory Wier,
in charge of information, said nothing is definite yet.
, A , five man executive com*
mfttee was named atthe Wednesday meeting.
It* includes Paul Puma, Doug
Fox, Ted Perrault, Norm Rasp-'
bory and John Galloway.
Wier announced a tentative
scheduled events for the; Mora- "
torium. At 8 ajn. bells will
ring in Warriner Hall and in
local chapels for an hour. Reading of the casualty list, which
Wier said would probably consist of Michigan fatalities in Vietnam, will follow, at 9 ajn. Also occurring during this hour will
be a washing of the American
flag in '"holy water".
At 10 a.m. President Boyd is
expected to give his position in a
speech at FinchFieldhouse. This
will be followed by a series of
films, which Wier said will pro-
tray realistic views of the war.
Speeches and discussions in
various lecture halls .will beheld
throughout the afternoon. How
' the United States got involved in
Vietnam", how we can get out,
and preventive measures for a-
voiding another Vietnam will be
among the major topics.
A candlelight march of mourning through the streets of the
city is planned for that evening.
If Hardin or another folksinger
appear, the march will folibwthe
concert.
- Wier said "this is in no way
a function of SDS, or SCAR.
It's for all the students.
Radio station WCHP will be
supporting the Moratorium, Wier
said disc jockey Ken Benson has
already promised to devote his
12-2 p.m.   show_io the cause.
The Moratorium Committee is
also counting on administrative
support. A spokesman for the
group said, "The administration wants to do something. They
feel if they bring Tim Hardin or
some folksinger of that nature,
they will have done their part."
On other campuses administrative support is building. Rutgers University will suspend
classes for the day by order of
their president. President Fleming of University of Michigan has
offered the fieldhouse to students
and faculty for a "massive expression of opposition to the
Vietnam War." He added he
would personally carry, the message to President Nixon.
