Though calm prevailed on most of the nation's campuses last week, student activists were hard at work. The work was directed toward making a success of "Moratorium Day," a massive nationwide antiwar protest scheduled for Oct. 15 (see THE NATION). The day is supposed to be marked by class boycotts, mass rallies, teach-ins, the distribution of leaflets and doorbell ringing to mobilize both town and gown sentiment for ending the Viet Nam war.

"It works by itself, takes different positions. I established guidelines, but the pieces must be arranged by others or it arranges itself."
