| Transcript | Revolution, war's end advocateby Caroline Throughout the United States college students set aside the week of October 20-26 as International Mobilization Week Against the War in Vietnam— better known as "Truth Week." Larry Caroline, controversial University of Texas philosophy professor, was sponsored on campus by the Program Council and the Committee to End the War in Vietnam. Speaking in the Houston Room before a capacity audience of about 500, including the local news media, Caroline advocated a "social revolution" for America, which he predicted would come in the next 30 to 40 years. Later in the week a documentary film, "Vietnam Dialogue," was screened for UH students. A discussion session among various anti-war groups followed the film. War rally A "war rally" was staged on the steps of the University Center and a candlelight vigil was held at Rice University that week. The week culminated in a march on the capitol in Austin by students from the entire state. UH students took a leading role in these events, proving that today's student is neither apathetic nor alienated from politics—he is deeply involved. Left and right-wing anti-war groups debate Vietnam war in UC Houston Room. 32 Series above, Caroline preaches against Establishment institutions. Calm and articulate at first, the UT philosophy professor reached a crescendo during his denunciation of racist and capitalistic attitudes in America. Left, SDS Member, Glenn Hudson marches in anti-war parade in Austin. 33 |
