Three Alternatives

Three alternatives were discussed by
President Shannon and Mr. Ogle. The first
was a day-long cancellation of classes on the
15th. Another idea was to have a meeting of
the general faculty in order that they might
decide. A third possibility was the cancellation
of all classes between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on the
day of the Moratorium.

Plans for local activity are still in the
making. Mr. Ogle, a Moratorium leader, said
that several congressmen will be speakers. Also,
a former Goldwater speech writer and adviser,
Karl Hess, will be at the University on October
15. Mr. Hess is currently working against the
war.

Depending on whether or not classes are
cancelled, Moratorium events may include a
rally at the Rotunda, teach-ins, large discussion
groups and seminars. "A number of top University
professors have expressed an interest in
participating," Mr. Ogle reported.

Mr. Ogle further stated that some Moratorium
participants plan to go to Lane High
School on October 15 in order to involve
interested students there in the action. Several
Lane students were present at the organizational
meeting of the local Moratorium committee
held last week. The chairman of the
group is Steve Squire.
