At one spot in front of the

lighted small white candles,
passing out some to nearby
picketers. and arranging the
others in a neat row.
They identified themselves as
boat people from Vietnam now

About ten picketers were also
present. Ihev carried signs with
slogans like: "No 'Coming

In a question from thc floor,
though. Fonda was asked about
her unwillingness to sign singer
Joan Baez's ad protesting the
current Vietnamese government's   human   rights   policies.
Fonda, who visited North
Vietnam during U.S. involvement in thc war. said that the ad
was not about boat people. She
said it dealt with allegations
about policies of the government
that were not confirmed by such
impartial    organizations    as
Amnesty International.
Fonda, who described the*
current situation in Indochina as
"complicated," added. "It
doesn't do (anyone) any good to
use the boat people as a
justification for the war."

Attract more than 1500 people
Fonda and Hayden Discuss Economic Democracy
by Walter Neary
Tom Hayden and Jane Fonda
addressed an audience of 1500 at
the USF Memorial Gymnasium
on October 25. In talks
interpreted for the deaf, the
Haydens discussed the political
philosophy that they call
Economic Democracy.
An advisor to Governor
Brown and head of California's
SolarCal Council, Tom Hayden
spent most of his 45-minute
speech on America's energy
problem. He also discussed some
of his political opponents, calling
one, California's Lieutenant
Governor Mike Curb "the new
Nixon."
A two-time winner of the
Academy Award for Best
Actress, Jane Fonda spoke for a
half hour on such subjects as her
conversion from political
apathy,   and   her  new  motion-

After roughly one month in his
new position. Rev. Joseph T.
Angilella, S.J., Vice President
for Academic Affairs, sounded a
very favorable note on the
current academic situation
within the university.
Although certain areas under
his office's jurisdiction need
prompt attention, he perceives a
sincere willingness on the part ol
students, faculty and administrators to continue working on
deepening the trust of one
another. This willingness, he
believes, will aid his own efforts
to approach the top priority issue
namely, to put financial
planning and accounting back in
good order.

picture on the indignities that
secretary's suffer. Fonda also
urged everyone in the audience
to "apply Economic Democracy
to your own place of work."
In one of her responses during
the 30-minute question and
answer session, Fonda revealed
that she had not yet decided how
to apply Economic Democracy
to her own line of work.
The closest that the couple
came to defining Economic
Democracy was in Tom
Hayden's speech: "Now we have
to think of ourselves as citizens;
together, we can discuss these
issues, and expand the idea of
citizenship from simply... hoping
somebody else will do the job, to
a citizenship that extends into
the life of the campus, into the
life of the community, into the
life of the corporation what
we speak of as Economic
Democracy.
"There can be no change in our
energy problems until the
eiti/ens of this co -•try have
more power than the ndustry
does. There can be no cnange in
our health problems until the
citizens of this country have
more power than the chemical
companies do. There can be no
change in our government until
the citizens of this country have
more power over Sacramento
and Washington than the special
corporate interests do.
"Until our concerns are at the
center  of the decision-making
process in the corporate world
and the governmental world,
nothing will change..."
Hayden also said that he and
Fonda had spoken at some 300
events in the past month,
including stops at 40 campuses
and addresses to 100 to 125
students.
The trip, and the content ofthe
couple's speeches, have been the
subject of much criticism. After
talking on the dangers of nuclear
power and industrial chemicals,
the advantages of "soft" energy,
and his support of rent control
initiatives in San Francisco,
Hayden said, "I don't see what's
so controversial about what
we're saying."
Hayden spoke of his critics
within the nuclear power
industry. "(They) call upon the
utilities in every state (that we go
;o) and have them call the mass
media and ask for equal time.
Equal time? They've had thirty
years. Equal time?(They)should
be worried about the radioactive
