she   has   been 'uncomfortable*
with the league's policy. But at

pathized with those who want to

its present position.
There are those of us who
think of the league as a league of
women voters,* she said, 'and
their feelings run pretty high.
They do not want to open It up
until women have equal rights ln
all aspects of society.*
Any decision on changing membership status would have to be
made by the state board, but Kaplan emphasized her personal-
stand.
■I favor It,* she said. "We
are In favor of equal rights for
all.   The current problem could
be resolved by removing a restrictive clause In the bylaws, and
that would Intltle men to full voting membership."
Kaplan, who was elected to the
state presidency from the San

CSUF Academic Senate from taking part In meet-and-confer sessions between the administration

killed during yesterday's senate
meeting.
Opposition to Dr. Kessler's
recommendation was voiced by
or. Phillip Walker, who said that
the Academic Senate was the only-
representative body of the entire
faculty and should have a right
to he at any meeting between faculty and administration.
Dr. Walkersald the outcome of
a meeting could "vitally affect
the welfare of the entire faculty,*
and therefore the faculty should
be represented.

Vietnam veteran expresses experieces through poetry
For Frank Cross, the months
following, his year as a combat '
soldier ln Vietnam bore a lot of
bitterness.
•For a while you want to get
back at somebody,* he said.
This feeling among returning
American soldiers has been
termed the "Vietnam syndrom*.*
Cross explained lt as'thecoming
back from being a trained killer
and not being able to tell people
about it. They don't want to bear
it.*
The best way of communicating
his Vietnam experience, Cross
found, was to write poetry about

but telling how it -affected me,*

reading some of his poems in

I saw there-demanded that I
write about it,* said the 28-year-
old Cross.
Drafted ln January, 1969, he
waa trained as an infantryman and
sent to Quang Ngal, a province ln
northern South Vietnam about
five miles from My Lai.
But the massacre ot women and
children at My Lai six years ago
was not an Isolated Incident,
Cross said.
It was the unwritten policy of
the US Army,* he said, "tointimidate the Vietnamese people by

as a "free Or* zono'-Justlfled
as such by American and South
Vietnamese officials, Cross said,
because it was "hopelessly controlled by the Viet Cong.*
In such an area, he said, the
food supply was destroyed, bamboo hedgerows were bulldozed.

It tells of a Vietnamese woman
