IOWA CITY NEWS NOTES: Iowa Peace Action Committee Meets The Computer Center- Summer, 1971, and you wouldn't think there was anyone left to convince. And, yet, the Director of the University's Computer Center tells us that there's nothing wrong with taking the Rock Island Arsenal's money in order to conduct such studies as simulations of battalion-sized warfare in minefield conditions. Furthermore, they are only making "hardware" over here at the Arsenal, nothing to worry about. But we do worry, because some of us are connected with the University and we don't like to think the institution we work for and attend helps to keep the War in Vietnam on its feet. IPAC will try to meet with the Regents in order to convince them that the computer contract with the Arsenal should not be extended beyond December 31, 1971. "Perhaps it is not an accident that Americans engage so intensively in killing from a distance-perhaps the distance itself carries special meaning. Perhaps Americans enjoy the mass impersonal killing of people who cannot fight back because they themselves suffer mass impersonal injuries from mechanical forces against which they are powerless."- Philip Slater hitchhiking through Canada- see the other issue of OTHER WAYS- NEWS NOTES FROM ALL OVER: The Militant- (Denver Socialist newspaper) The National Antiwar Convention held July 2- [illegible] at Hunter College and sponsored by the National Peace Action Coalition called for massive antiwar actions this fall. This calendar was endorsed by both NPAC and the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice: Aug. 6-9 Hiroshima-Nagasaki memorial actions around the U.S. Oct. 13 Moratoriums in as many cities as possible. Nov.6 Massive regional street marches and rallies The 2,300 delegates divided into workshops to organize participation in the fall action by labor, GIs, veterans, women, Blacks, Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, students, and gays. The composition of the convention indicates support has grown for the antiwar movement since April 24. Delegates came from 197 cities in 42 states, representing 385 organizations in addition to 61 local Peace Action Coalitions. Thirty-five of the groups represented were trade unions; more than 1,000 delegates were college students and nearly 200 were high school students. Eighty-five % of the participants were 29 or younger. Ad Hoc Committee to Organize Anti-War Congress in Canada- The Union of Vietnamese in Canada, in cooperation with the very broad Canadian Peace Movement, has initiated a plan to hold an International Antiwar Congress in a Canadian city in early fall. Purpose: to focus world wide attention on Washington in order to end the war in Indochina, totally, once and for all. Women United to End the War- "On June 21 we came together in common action to show our common concern about the war in Indochina. By the private act of not spending any money for goods or services on our longest day, we women gave public notice that we want our longest war to end...We must start again, and now, to tell as many women as possible (and men, too) not to spend a cent on Sept. 21."
