Question: What are you doing to stop the War in Vietnam?

Al Carmichael. One thing we can do to stop the war is to make sure Nixon doesn't get re-elected. We should learn to communicate so people can find out why they don't act more rationally because that's the whole cause of war.

Susan, student at U-M. My vote in November will help stop it. I'm voting for the Human Rights Party locally. They say not to vote for president but that won't help so I'm voting for McGovern.

Pat Poulious, student, U-M. I believe the only way to stop the war right now is to vote for McGovern. It's almost hopeless unless we get some presidential leadership. At first I was thinking of the possibility of demonstrations, but I don't think they are effective anymore.

John Howland, Janitor at U-M. The most important thing we can do now is to support McGovern because if we support him strongly the effect is to pull Nixon farther to the left because in order to compete with McGovern he has to appear to become a peace candidate.

George Euseary, bus boy at Union Station. I think the war stinks and the only way to stop it is to combine all revolutionary groups and put them into the front picture. The only candidate I can endorse for president is George McGovern.

This weeks Voice of the People was done at the Michigan Union.

ONCE STARTED, A JOURNAL MUST BE RUN CONSCIENTIOUSLY AND WELL. THIS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE READERS AS WELL AS THE STAFF. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE READERS TO SEND IN SUGGESTIONS AND WRITE BRIEF LETTERS AND ARTILES INDICATING WHAT THEY LIKE AND WHAT THEY DISLIKE, FOR THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE THE JOURNAL A SUCCESS.
