Student Strike Impact Small

An estimatted 1,000 war protesters I marched through downtown Ann Arbor I this afternoon, blocking traffic on sevI eral streets. Windows of the Navy and Air Force recruiting offices in the 100 block of E. Washington were smashed I by some of the marchers. A student strike at the University protesting the renewed bombing of North I Vietnam had little effect on campus acI tiviïy this morning. University sources said they had no official figures on class attendance but adI ded that today was the final day of I classes for most students and as such I would normally be marked by low I attendance. The tempo of the protest was expected to pick up this afternoon, with a rally on the Diagonal. At that time, rally participants were to decide the destination of a street march to be held after the rally. Speakers on the Diag were to represent the Rainbow People's Party, the Human Rights Party, the National P3ace Action coalition, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and People Against the Air War. An all-night vigil on the Diag, designed to coincide with U.S. air strikes in Vietnam, was scheduled for 5 p.m. Other antiwar activity included a candlelight peace march last night at Eastern Michigan University, where some 200 students marched to a chorus of "end the bombing now." The group ended its demonstration in front of the campus ROTC building where students, professors and representatives of various antiwar groups spoke. Ann Arbor's Interfaith Council for Peace, beginning at 7 p.m. today, I planned to dig a hole the size of the I average cráter created by 500-pound I bombs American planes are dropping over Vietnam. The "cráter" will be dug with human I labor, according to the Council, "to illustrate the contrast between the enormous instantaneous destructive force of a 300-pound bomb and the great human effort required to simulate a portion of that destruction." The simulated cráter will be dug at Clonlara School, 1289 Jewett, between Packard and S. Industrial Highway. A "cráter dedication" will be held noon I Tuesday where Prof. E. W. Pfeiffer, University of Montana, who has done research on the ecological effects of bombing and chemical warfare, will speak.
