Recent weeks have seen a flurry of Left-Wing activity in the Sheffield area, At.the University socialist students demanded end secured a special Union General Meeting on June lst, and their attempt to get the meeting to send a message of support to the seamen was only narrowly defeated - on a constit~ utional point. A joint staff/student committee collected nearly £60 for the NUS Strike Fund, and organised a meeting at which Sam Holmes, a Hull seaman, addressed an audience of 90. Sheffield CSE invited Nick Howard, an ex-seaman, to put the seamen's case at a meeting arranged for June 29, Other activity centered around Vietnam, with a demonstration on June 25, and a Teach-in, organised by University Students, on June 28. The Teach-in ran continuously from 5 to 11 pm and attracted a maximum audience of 100, drawn from both the university and the city. Speakers included Professor Tom Kaiser of the Sheffield Peace in Vietnam Committee and Jack Woddis of the CP National Executive. Finally, a re-invigorated Sheffield CND joined with the University CND and the YCND in distributing leaflets at daily showings of the "War Game",
