A meeting of 150 students on BYU's campus condemns the U.S. participation in the Vietnam War. Among them is Apostle Spencer W. Kimball's grandson, a registered conscientious objector and returned missionary. He and several members of the group soon publish a pamphlet, 'To the Men of BYU,' which encourages them to consider conscientious objection against this war. Surveys by BYU sociologists find that about 10 percent of BYU students oppose the Vietnam War.
