ITHACA, N.Y.--Thirty Cornell University, students picketed and then spilled blood and ashes in the career center building March 13 to protest recruiting by TRW Corporation.
TRW is involved in the technical direction of MX and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The students picketed in the morning, held a prayer service at noon, and then two students, Paul E. Lyons and Thomas Reed, spilled ashes and pint bottles of their own blood on the door of the office where the TRW recruiters were conducting job interviews.
Lyons and Reed said their blood symbolized the "blood of innocents" that would be shed in a nuclear war. Ashes, they said, would be all that would remain after a nuclear holocaust.
The protesters said they hoped the ashes and blood would convince students not to enter the arms industry.
Faith M. White, recruiting coordinator in the career center, said security officers had been called when the protest began and that neither the recruiters nor the students were bothered by the protesters.
