The groups demonstrate regularly in front of the Holyoke Center. This weekend's demonstration was the second for peace in Kosovo.

"We've come here pretty often, unfortunately. When the headlines are really black, I go down to the Quaker house and collect the signs and come down here," said Catharine D. Rush '56, who is the clerk of the Cambridge Friends' committee although she is not a Friend herself.

Many at the vigil said that they are morally opposed to the bombing of Yugoslavia.

"You can't stop killing with killing. I think morally it doesn't work," said Shelagh A. Foreman, a board member of Peace Action and chair of its programs committee.

Many also stressed their belief that the bombings wouldn't solve anything and could potentially make the situation worse.

Several people were also concerned with the legality of NATO's action.

Yugoslavia's rights as a sovereign nation were violated not only by the bombing, but also by unfair negotiations in Rambouillet, France, said a few who believe that NATO should continue to try for a political settlement.

"If you look at the Rambouillet agreement, you'll see that it's a very one-sided agreement," said Arthur N. Stokes, a Watertown resident who used to be a teaching fellow for Literature and Arts B-51, "First Nights: Five Performance Premieres."
