away to drop bombs on people we
don't even know," Brown said.
Among the protesters were 15
members of Vietnam Veterans
Against the War. State Coordinator
Tom Hohan said the veterans were
demonstrating for "the immediate
withdrawal of all American troops
from Vietnam."
The protesters enthusiastically
responded to poems and songs
presented by Ginsburg. Many
chanted along as Ginsburg read an
original poem dealing with the
renewed bombing of North Viet
nam.
Also appearing at the rally was
Father Mike Kaney of Greenville,
who was among 8 antiwar
protesters who made a week long
march from Greenville to
Columbia "to show our com
mitment to fellow Americans to
make America a better place."
"We walked to Columbia to say
no to a system that says we won't
bother your color TV but we'll take
the most valuable thing you have -
your sons," Father Kaney, head of
Clergy and Laity Concerned, said.
He said they walked about 15
miles a day and slept in churches
at night. "We found that there are
a lot of nice people in South
Carolina," he added.
Speakers representing women's
liberation also addressed the rally,
which was sponsored by the Earth
Day Coalition. Another speaker at
the rally Saturday was Ellis Rece
of Augusta, Ga., who urged the
group to refuse to pay income
taxes.
"It's our war; we're buying it,"
Rece said.
The three-hour-long rally con
cluded as a young man burned his
draft card at the alter of the
church, while the small group of
remaining protesters cheered.
Police cars
now have
lights, sirens
USC campus security cars now
have demountable lights and
sirens installed in them, according
to Harold Brunton, vice president
for business affairs.
Brunton said the lights serve a
useful purpose even though "they
may not be desirable in terms of
the image of the campus police."
He said campus police have been
patrolling Carolina Gardens and
Woodland Terrace at the married
students' request.
"Without the lights on the
security vehicle, no one even knew
they were there," Brunton said.
"It has been helpful at night to
have obvious police cars patrolling
'the area and has done a great deal*
to deter vandalism in the area."
Brunton said another reason the
lights and sirens were installed is
that campus security vehicles are
