War Continues As
Athletes Suffer
AS the war ln Vietnam goes on and on, another war,, this one closer
to home, also lingers on with no end ln sight.
The struggle between Uie NCAA (National Committee for Athletic
Anguish) and what's-lts-name resembles the affair going on over¬
seas ln more ways than one.
Not only Is the NCAA battling with, oh yes, the AAU (Associa¬
tion for Athletic Unrest) for the rule of the track and Held world
seemingly endless, but Its accomplishments also leave something
to be desired.
This entanglement began ln January, 1965, and even now, lt Is
still ln the Infancy stages. The situation, which had been quieted
for some time, was forced to the front lines Wednesday when the
NCAA officially called off a federally Imposed moratorium at its
annual convention ln New York.

the NCAA would again Insist on ■certifying' any non-collegiate meet

This was the stand the NCAA took back ln 1965 that led to a
summer full of bitterness. But at the negotiating table, the NCAA,
at the request of the U.S. Senate, agreed not to enforce the certifica¬
tion rule pending the decision of a panel headed by labor mediator
Theodore Kheel.

strators used the
time to exchange phUosophy and feelings about the
war and to plan their protest movement ln Uie
future. Throughout their two hour vigil, convenUon
delegates walking to and from meeUngs stopped and
harassed the picketers.
Sen. Eugene McCarthy, D-Minn., also spoke at
the DemocraUc conference but SDS said it did not
"greet* or demonstrate against him.
McCarthy, an avowed peace candidate for the
DemocraUc presidential nomlnaUon, has come out
against President Johnson's foreign poUcy. Pro¬
testers Indicated that this fact alone puts Sen.
McCarthy in their good graces. But Jay Goodwin,
student leader, described him as "an establishment
liberal who will cop out to Johnson."
The generally quiet protests fizzled after the
noon demonstraUon. Even Humphrey supporters
failed to show up at the air terminal Saturday
afternoon for the vice presldenUal sendoff. Be¬
