They're Talking On Campus.

. . . About support for the U.S. war effort on the nation's campuses.
Nearly four of five college students support the U.S.-led airstrikes in Afghanistan, and more than two-thirds back the use of U.S. ground troops in the war, according to a survey conducted by Harvard University's Institute of Politics.

Seventy-one percent of male students said they would serve in the military if the draft were reinstated and they were selected. Sixty percent of students said they trusted the government to do the right thing most or all of the time, compared with only 36 percent in 2000.

. . . About reports that a campus antiwar movement is heating up, as protesters hold several regional conferences in November.

Representatives from 40 west coast campuses gathered at a University of California at Berkeley conference sponsored by California Students Against the War, while a similar conference, the Northeast Regional Conference Against War and Racism, was held at Boston University, and smaller conferences took place elsewhere.

The Berkeley conference included workshops on organizing and Middle Eastern history. The Boston conference featured a talk by Ralph Nader.

. . . About students protesting in front of the San Francisco offices of Senator Dianne Feinstein, opposing legislation she proposed that would stop the federal government from issuing student visas to individuals from countries on the State Department's list of terrorism sponsors.
