The numbers in the Vietnam march to Parliament last week have been hailed as increased anti New Zealand participation feeling on Campus. At a recent meeting the University National Party Club disassociated itself from several Government statements on Vietnam.

It has been estimated 800 placard carrying lecturers and students marched to Parliament protesting against further military involvment in the Vietnam war.

The march was organised by the recently-formed University Vietnam Peace Committee, which is largely run by University lecturers. Key figures are; Roger Boshier (Psychology Dept), Chris Wainwright (Political Science Dept.), Geoffrey Bertram (Geography Dept.) Rod Alley (Political Science Dept.), Peter Blizard (Psychology Dept.) and John Nicholls (Education Dept.).

Although the daily coverage was generally accurate figures on numbers taking part in the demonstration were somewhat at variance.

The Evening Post managed to claim 5000 and 1800 demonstrators in one report. The Dominion said 700 yet managed to print a photograph of the demonstration which suggested the figure was excessively conservative.
