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.

In testimony before a Senate sub-committee last March, he said that once the present system is changed, there will be no justification on the basis of civilian manpower needs for any educational or occupational deferments.
