The Gunston Ledger [Vol. 5, No. 12]

Anti-War Protests (Vietnam War)

Edition of George Mason University's student newspaper, The Gunston Ledger, from January 11, 1968. This edition is labeled Volume 5, Number 12. The creators for "Students ask war solution, referendum planned here" and "Spock, Raskin, Coffin indicted in draft conspiracy" isn't listed. The article "Students ask war solution, referendum planned here" describes a poll, taken by over 20,000 private college and university students, about the Vietnam War and views, including whether the U.S. troops should withdraw from Vietnam, non-violent protest methods (e.g. draft-card burning), "confidence in the President's handling of the war", etc. The Gungston Ledger has distributed copies of the questions throughout the George Mason College. Anti-War and Pro-War protestors were asked about the questions before the forms were printed, so that "the questions themselves are not biased".
