Armed Forces recruiters pull out
Greetings from Canada,
I was heartened to see that UCSC students were successful in preventing the U.S. armed forces recruiters from coming to the job fair. Forty years ago, when I was a student at UCSC, a group of us prevented them from coming on campus to recruit fodder for the Vietnam War.

Later, my finance got drafted (despite his student deferment) and we fled to Canada. Bravo to all who stayed and went underground; we organized war resisters in Vancouver and fought for amnesty for draft dodgers and deserters after the liberation of Saigon. While I am sad that war continues as the scourge of humanity, I am buoyed by the new generation of anti-war resisters. The struggle continues!
