Vote Strike T

Both speakers and students await tabulation o f the vote on one o f the strike proposals presented at last n ight’s strike hearing. By Dave Lammers Rich Smith Bill Carter In a tum ultou . and confusing rally in the Stepan Center last night, striking students voted to extend the strike un til Friday, May 15, so that Notre Dame students and faculty can con tinue to oppose President N ixon’s policy in Southeast Asia. David Krashna opened the meeting by proposing that the strike be extended until Friday, May 15, so that students can continue to rally support for Father Hesburgh’s statement to President N ixon, and so that a “ communiversity” can be created which would continue teach-ins, write-in campaigns, and allow students to work in the South Bend com m unity. As Fred Dedrick said, “ Go in to the halls and chapels, and ask i f the discussions that are going on there are comparable in quantity and quality to anything you ’ve ever heard at Notre Dame.” Dedrick’s remark, and his speech supporting the continuation o f the strike, was met w ith over­ whelming approval by the stand­ ing room only crowd.
