Early in the meeting the group split over whether the Union should be primarily an organization to support and counsel draft resisters or to protest the draft itself...
YESTERDAY'S sit-in at University Hall was not a sensational event and probably will not prove sensationally effective. Wisely ignoring the Dow recruiter two blocks away, the 200 protesters did make their point--that they not only deplore the Vietnam war but also reject the notion that the University can remain neutral to the war effort.
