Following lastterm's militant Vietnam demonstration (which unfortunately in many Ways, got sidetracked into a discussion on discipline) a Pebruary 2ist Committee has been set up to broaden and carry forward the movement. <A "Fact Sheet" has been produced illustrating the connections of the Uiversity with Imperialism, even including direct dealings to the tune of tens of thousands of pounds with U.S. military forces.
Personifying this the Chancellor, Lord Shaweroes, a director of Morgan Trust and Shell. The February 21st Committee picketed a ceremony presided over by Lord Shawcross. Shaweross decided to address the picket but could only use infantile ad hominem arguments - "Its nice for you living cosily on state grants, why don't you go and work in the hospitals of Vietnam?". (The Sussex Vietnam Committe raised £2,000 for WLF and North Vietnam medical supplies. Later this term there will be blood donations!) Of course Shaweross would probably be'rather pleased if all left-wingers left the country.
Perhaps the most bizarre moment came when Shawcross declared "TI am a pacifist". However it does not seem to outrage his pacifist conscience that a million people were slaughtered in Indonesia so that Shell's assets there could be safeguarded.
