Dillingham Prop-ses Calendar; Mueller, Talman, Canfield Di~_cuss Building Program

President Dillingham spoke to the students of Ithaca College l~st Thursday, ~ebruary 4, !n the South Hill gymnasium. He men­t10ned several different proJects that will effect the students here Dr. D~llingham spoke of the proposed school calendar, the new ar~ collection, and the plans for future buildings on campus.

Following the addresses of Dr. Dillingham, Mr. Robert Mueller, Assistant to the President on Construction, Mr. Robert Talman, and Prof. Thomas Canfield, Mr. Peter Walsh, President of Stu­dent Government, presented the students selected for Who's Who among students in American Uni­versities and colleges.

The new calendar which was described as "less than ideal" by Dr. Dillingham will give students a longer intersession. Registration is tentively scheduled for Labor Day with classes beginning the next day. The Frosh Orientation program will have been held at the ,end of August. With one day for Thanksgiving and finals be­(ore Christmas there will be three weeks allowed between semesters. The Spring vacation will come in middle of the se·cond semester which will end in early May.

Dr. Dillingham expressed his belief that the growing ax:t .col­lection, which includes Oriental, Oceanic, Mexican, and African modes,. will create a cultural at­mosphere that would otherwise -be lacking. The President made mention of the stolen painting but affirmed his belief that the benefit . that students can derive from the broadening experience was worth the slight risk.

President Dillingham intro-duced Mr. Mueller, and Mr. Tal­man; then he later introduced Prof. Canfield. These men e,c­plained the various phases of present and proposed construction on the South Hill campus. Mr. Mueller bas previously explained to Student Council the plans for the High Rise Dorms, the General Arts Complex, and the Library. At the address- he added consider­able detail concerning primarily the Administration and Liberal Arts buildings. When the section is completed there will be three more large lecture halls for classes. It was also mentioned that the new dining room con­nected to the High Rise Dorms will, with the help of the old dining room amply serve the cam­pus: Attractive and functional arcbetecture, coupled with sculp­ture and plantings, will add more atmosphere to these new build­ings.

A tentative plan for a housing complex behind "the new High Rise Dorms was also mentioned. The plans are Iiot yet definite. However, it was explained that, if ~aopted, there would be two stages. The first stage would in­clude a housing complex which would enable groups of people to live ln a home-like arrangement. The second · stage which would be behind -the complex con~ains pro-

visions for new donns and park­ing areas.

The philosophy behind the ar­chetectural plan is _ to provide functional, accomodating, pleasant buildings for study, dining, re­search, and recreation. As Prof. Canfield explained the campus will be "typical, but not typical."

Mrs. Baker To Present Recital This Evening

Mrs. Lucile Baker, soprano, will appear in recital Friday evening, February 12 at 8:15 p.m. in the Music Auditorium. She will be accompanied by Lawrence Hold­ridge, piano.

Tague To Lead Summer Music Tour

A two months long travel - course designed for students and

teachers of music, and for others with serious musical interests, will again be offered this summer by Ithaca College, it was announced by Prof. William Grimshaw, Di­rector of Graduate Studies.

The tour, which has the ap­proval of the New York State Education Department, and which is conducted in cooperation with Study Abroad Inc. of New York, is in its ninth year. The tour will again be under the academic leadership of Professor Joseph Tague, School of Music, who con­ducted the tour in 1959, 1961, 1962 and 1963.

Sailing abroad the liner, New Amsterdam, from New York on July 2, and returning by jet plane from Prestwick, Scotland, August 29, the group will have spent 50 days in Europe, heard 25 great performances at the festivals in Holland, Salzburg, Munich, Bay­reuth and Edinburgh, plus events in Paris, Rome, Florence, and Venice. Visiting the homes of com­posers, seeing scores, instruments, the great and small galleries (Rijksmuseum, Louvre, Vatican, Uffizi, Pinakothek, and National Gallery-among many), cathedrals in Belgium, France, Italy, palaces such as the Nymphenburgh in Munich, Wurzburg, Versailles, Fontainebleau, ~nd from Italy to Holyrood in Edinburgh, the group will enjoy a comprehensive in­structional plan carried out in nine countries.

Prof. Tague conducts seminars and organizes lectures by various members of the group aboard the ship, and, while traveling in their own motor coach, some instruction is given by the tour leader, mem­bers of the group and by official guides in Europe.

The week of August 3-10 will be spent in Salzburg with morning lectures at the famed Mozarteum; and the week of August 22-29 at­tending lectures given by the faculty of the University of Edin­burgh. Both will have festivals in progress.

THE ITHACAN, FEBRUARY 12, 1965, PAGE 2

Your Spring Weekend According to the Junior class, this year's Spring Weekend will

be something terrific. For -the first time, the festivities will take place in the gym, rather than in the Rec Room a,nd the Lounge of the Student Union. The performers scheduled for the weekend promise to be extremely entertaining.

It is a rather evident fact that the gym is a good deal larger than any facilities used in previous years. With this fact before us we should be able to conclude that the number of people required to decorate the gym woul<;i also. be larger. Beca!-'se of the expand.ed size of the sc:hool, all duties will be greater. Smee there are qmtc a few weeks left until zero hour, we will not go so far as to say that only a small percentage of our students ( especially juniors) realize that their services would be more than welcome on Spring Weekend committees. · '

It is difficult not to be pessimistic (maybe even panicky) about lack of help for the weekend. Too often there are too few willing to lend a hand. We have been informed that Mike West or Bob Wilcox are the men to call for information about available tasks.

Please prove that our fears are unfounded - and volunteer to make your Spring Weekend the success it can be. · •

A Thank You In last week's convocation in the gym, Dr. Dillingham reviewed

the progress made in construction of the South Hill campus in the last five years. Students ( about three hundred, not really, very many) were then given previews of proposed plans for further con­struction.

When the. present seniors arrived in the fall of 1961, the first five dormitories had harel"y been completed. Since that time, con­struction has proceeded so fast that many of us haye come to take it all for granted. Especially members of succeeding· classes who have less basis for comparison.

There is one man who is primarily responsible for the rapid and effective growth of our school. That man is Dr. Dillingham, President of the College. His tireless efforts have built a school of which we all are proud, a school whose reputation is probably greater than most of us realize.

The lth.acan would like to add its portion of thanks to the cup of gratitude owed to Dr. Dillingham.

The Last • • • At the risk of sounding sentimental, we wish to say that it

has been a good and profitable year for the staff of The Ithacan. Editing and staffing a student newspaper in addition to regu­

lar class work is by no means an easy task. It is ·time-consuming, tiring, and often discouraging. In addition, there are few of us who have choseh or will choose journalism for a life's work. For this rea­son, we are amateurs. We are forced to retain that standing as we pursue our courses of study.

The main reason for our coming to college ( aside from the fact that it is a vivid status symbol for the family) is to gain a formal education in preparation for the dark days ahead when we will be "on our own in the cruel world." Somewhere along the way, we are, also expected to discover how to communicate with others, manage finances., organize our behavior patterns into exceptable molds-m short, the fine art of living in our modem world.

What does all this have to do with Th.e Ithacan? The paper has enabled us, forced us, actually, to meet problems, make deci­sions, attempt to manage finances, and certainly to communicat!;!. Best of all, we have had unlimited opportunity not only to. observe various behavior patterns, but to comment on them as well. Pre­sumably, this will aid us in choosing o,; constructing our individual molds. ,

The afore,mentioned description of editing and staffing a paper is quite dim in the light of the knowledge we have 'gained and the experience we have had.

This editor would like to take a small portion of her last ten­and-one-half inches double column space to extend her very real thanks to the staff for their diligence, and the students of IC for their co-operation during the past year. You have made The Ithacan a paper "published by and for the students of Ithaca College"; it is your achievement.

Dear Editor: The cheating among several of

our fellow students has been as­tounding. What is more surprising is that we are finding our pro­fessors unable to cope with the problem. While it can not be con­sidered indicative of the majority of students, certainly the fact that cheating exists and has not as yet been stopped is a way of our con­doning it.

Perhaps the prevalence of cheat­ing comes from the faculty's not knowing the · problem exists, but it seems more probable that both the faculty and the administration are aware of the cheating and have not, as yet, dealt with it. Several instances are known of students complaining to faculty members and deans about the ex­isting problem, and the only con­clusion reached was that there was nothing that could be done.

Cheating cannot be ignored, for it has a profound effect on· the students that study during the semester and find that their 'final grade corresponds to that , of a · student who has continuously cheated. Granted they are cheat­ing themselves, but we too are being cheated. It has resulted, in the loss of a sense of values of honest students; they find them· selves a part of this disgusting -practice.

Dear Editor:

Joanne Schwartz Susan Wayne

The Women's Athletic Associa­tion has been very busy planning activities to suit the needs of each individual woman on campus. The opening of the new gym also means an opening of various sports and recreational activities. It has come to our attention that most of the students at Ithaca who are not physical education majors seem to think · that ·the new gym and its beautiful facili­ties are not open to their use.

It has often been said that the majority of students tend to make friends with the people in their own field of study thus, when they graduate they have a limited knowledge of the people outside their field. W.A.A. is aii organ-

ization that was formed to pro­mote friendliness, between all of the students through a program designed to meet the needs of each individual woman on campus. If each individual woman on campus would look at the list of activities carefully, I am sure she would find some activity to which she would enjoy belonging, not only because of its value as an activity, but also because of the new friends she will meet.

It,,is a fact that many students have never visited the new gym. It should be the obligation of each individual to take a tour through the lovely building. I am sure that no one could walk . through and look at the beautiful bowling alleys, swimming • pool, and gym without wanting to be a part of it through participation in an activity. W .A.A. is out to serve each of you-support the program and enjoy it.

Looking back at the first semes­ter and student government's achiev.ements is not a very en­couraging picture. The biggest

. problem was a leadership that · lacked experience. They spent the first part of the semester wander­ing around trying to figure out the game. I think they have made

. a great deal of progress, and I ex­pect to see bigger and better things this semester. The big prob­lem of communication is receiving . much deserved attention and pro­gress in this area seems to be be­ing made. -

Perhaps the biggest problem still facing student government is Student Council. The representa­tives' general lack of interest in their jobs is amazing. A few of them do bring in problems they hear, but far too few. As far as showing imagination and . thinking, practically none of the rep~sen­tatives do this. The only interest they have is in coming to a meet­ing once a week. Even here . one sees many proxies each week. When a program of -any type is

· -suggested to council it is met with indifference. -They · vo~for things without questioning them and a lack of interest in them. How to change this situation is the leadership's foremost problem.

Speaking of other things, the President's Ass_embly was very in­teresting. It was a needed, worth­while program. I was disappointed at ·the number of people who at· tended. Maybe next time the plan­ning will be better carried out and a bigger audience present. There will be an auction of lost and found articles Monday, Feb. 22 .at 6 in the lounge. Don't miss it. It looks like this years Spring Weekend is going to be the best to come down the pike. To I.F.C., a nice weekend. .

Roving Eye by

Lou Question: What do you think of the Viet Nam situation?

Tony Uxomba

Centuries ago Shakespeare wrote of a certain situation that someone had " .. ,. in it waded so far that going backward is as tedious as going forward." Ameri­can position in South Viet Nam is, in· my opinion, a parallel of the above. I have heard a U.S. Senator say, the other day, that the whole of South Viet Nam is not worth the life of a single, American boy. I will go along with him and add that no place on earth is worth the reckless mowing down of human lives during wars. What is any place worth if people are not alive to enjoy it? But I feel that the sabbatical sentime.nt was salutary when no single American life had been lost in South Viet Nam. When confronted with a· dilemma such as the Americans face in Asia, my people, the lbos of Nigeria, have this proverb: "If you p~t salt in the food and the quantity does not season the food, you've got to add more, other­wise the food remains insipid and your first effort is lost." As long as Americans dread Communism, . and as long as Communists insist on exporting their ideology to other people willynilly, and not retain to themselves their boon and enjoy it (if it is so good), there is bound to be a confronta­tion of the "Opposites sometime, somewhere. It can ~nly be taken as a mistake of human calculation or a play of fate that such a diffi­cult and enigmatic country as South Viet Nam happens to pro­vide the present stage.

Dr. Hendrickson

First I thought that if we are to commit ourselves we should adopt a policy which is adequate for the prevention of the overrunning of South Viet Nam by Commu­nists. If o.ur policy is only to up­hold previous· international agree­ments with the policies of the Vietnamese rebels of their step­ping up of attacks, I agree with the President's actions. The Rus­sians will then protest loudly. I believe that the Chinese are not able to hurt our security, but they can make the situation a lot tougher. Unfortunately one can­not pursue the rebels beyond cer­tain boundaries, and therefore they cannot have the advantage of Pursuing their attackers. I there­fore support the new United States policy of the attacks on the supply points.

The escalation of the war of the past weekend I feel will have serious repercussions for the Unjied States. The North Viet­namese raid was obviously planned to coincide with the visit of Rus­sian Premier Kosygin. This act will put pressure on the Russians to give far more aid to the Ho Chin Ming regime; as -a conse­quence, it will probably cool the warming relations between Russia and the United States and possibly turn the present cold war into a future hot war.·

Barry Rosenblood

The area now known as Viet Nam is really an unnatural crea­tion rather than a nation. Viet Nam contains eighteen to twenty different nationalities. This has always been a troubled area. Be­fore the French came to Viet Nam the Chinese had conquered the area. They called it AnNam which means pacified south.

Dr. Jackson

The French interest goes back to Louis XIV. But they did not become active until the 1880's when they fought pirates called The Black Flag. These pirates were supported by the Dowager Emperoress. The French never really pacified Tonkin and Laos, and had to use military rule to keep the mountain tribes pacified. Most of the rest of Indochi'na was pacified. _ The French even today are highly regarded; this is true even of the Communists.

The Communist Party of about a thousand men was first felt in the 1920's. The French secret police were able to keep them quiet. NGUYEM AIM QUOC be­came the leader of the Commu­nists. Finally he went to Hong Kong.Canton for awhile.

In 1942 the Japanese had enter­ed Indochina. The French under orders from the Vichy government did not resist them. The Japanese in return allowed the French to remain armed. Also today, the Jap­anese are highly regarded in this area.

Quoth The Wickham

NEVER MORE

CHAPLAIN'S CORNER

by Father McFiggins

Have you ever noticed that small children in a nursery will ignore clever mechanical toys in order to build, with spools and strings and sticks and blocks, a world of their own imagination?

And so with adults too. God gave us a world unfinished, • so that we might share in the joys and satisfactions of creation. He left aluminum in the clay; elec­tricity in the clouds; rivers un­bridged; forests unfelled; labora­tories unopened; music unsung; dramas unplayed.

There is no Shangri-La where our every want can be supplied by wishing. There is no substance to the philosophy of "getting-by." Work, thought, creation. These give life stimulus, its real satis­faction, its intriguing value.

Progress comes, not by some magic word, and not by govern­ment edict, but from the thoughts, the toil, the tears, the triumphs of individuals who accept the challenge of raw material-and by the grace of God-given talents produce results which satisfy the needs of men.

It is our hope that every Ithaca College student will use his tal­ents to the fullest, and avoid that pitfall philosophy of "getting.by."

Moving Day At Griffis Hall

Dateline: Feb. 9, 10:25 p.m.

This reporter heard a rumor that Griffis Hall was to be evac­uated some time today. Arriving on the scene early this morning, I noticed a scurry of girls laden with precious souvenirs from dances and stuffed animals from various boyfriends. Record play­ers and records, pictures, musical instruments, and suitcases of clothes slowly emerged from the dorm. Carrying their various and sundry possessions were displaced Music Co-eds.

I questioned the girls as to the moving. They explained the Grif­fis was being taken over tomor­row by the boys from Cayuga Street, and that they had been relocated in vacant rooms down­town, in Quarry, or up on South Hill. The boys were moving from the Clinton House which has been condemned.

Tonight Easl: Buffalo· Street seemed strangely quiet. The end­less line of possession and girls had stopped. But the lights burned on at Griffis. This reporter checked the situation out and dis­covered that two girls who found out about their new room assign­ments this afternoon were left in the dorm. One girl described the situation as "horrible."

Tomorrow again, East Buffalo will come to life as the endless procession of guys and their goods move over. Once again everybody will be moving at once. Once again, this situation will be "hor­rible."

IFC Open Letter To All Students Dear Students,

One of the most difficult questions for a college student to answer is "Should I pledge a fraternity or sorority?". There is no cle.ar-cut solution to the problem. Speaking with the experience of bcmg a Greek, I am. ~Ufl' that an :xamination of the facts will help you make your clec1s1on more easily.

Campus Chest To Hold Auction In Union Feb. 22

The Campus Chest Steering committee has the responsibility of running events during the year to earn money for trie Campus Chest. The Campus Chest provides for the upper class scholarship fund, and will also, in coming years, provide for the elimination of a separate campaigns for the United Fund. In an attempt to add to the funds already available to the Campus Chest, the Steering Committee will be sponsoring many events in the near future.

On Washington's Birthday, Feb­ruary 22nd, an auction of all items which have been accumu­lated in the Lost and Found will be held in the Union lounge. :Many items such as watches, rings, scarves, gloves, sweaters, and many books, will be auctioned off starting at 6:00 p.m. Marty Nad· ler will act as at1ctioneer. Any m·oney which is earned at this auction will be used for the scholarship fund for the benefit of all students.

Anyone who thinks he has · 1ost anything is urged to check at the information desk before the auc­tion date. Any person who claims anything at the time of the auc­tion will be asked not only to prove that he owns it, but he will also be asked to pay a minimum

fee.

HOW TO DESCRIBE

The biggest plus to any Greek organization is the bond of brotherhood that develops among members. There is also the feel­ing of belonging to a group, a sense of being part of a bigger whole. But this does not stifle the individual's inner feeling of want­ing to express himself. As a mat­ter of fact it is quite the oppo­site. Being a Greek helps the col­lege student round out his educa­tion by enabling him to partake in the many extra-curricular acti­vities that our school has to offer. It seems that many of our school leaders belong to fraternal organi­zations.

The Greek has a better chance of being able to get the necessary background that hel~ake a good school leader: ·.tne 11;~~r of a Greek organization has the opportunity to work on commit­tees, partake in meetings, and to meet new and different people during rushing and conventions. All this helps to round out one's college education. While the pri­mary purpose of college is that of acquiring an education, attention must also be given to one's social development.

In addition, members of profes­sional organizations are given definite objectives for improving their professional excellence in the various fields. These Greeks often require a higher scholastic index for admission than do their social fellows, and they demand maintenance of these standards. Opportunities are given the pro­fessional Greek to participate in activities specifically related to his field of interest.

' In the final analysis, the de­cision is yours. The true sense of belonging to a Greek organization cannot be written on a piece of paper. The sense of being a Greek can only be felt when one is a Greek and at no other time. The Interfraternity Council urges you to attend any one of the rush parties that are scheduled for this month. Talk to the members and make your choice.

CAMP'US BOOKMAN By Or. William R. Lanesberg, Librarian

Hobart and Wllllam Smith Colleges

A book reviewer, theoretically, at least, is supposed to review only the latest· new books. But, since we are somewhat unortho· dox in many ways, we are going to present today a book which is exactly ten years old: The Sweet Flypaper of Life by Langs­ton Hughes, with photographs by Roy DeCarava.

First published in 1955 by Simon and Schuster, it is now­most unfortunately-out of print. We sincerely urge the publisher to reprint this beautiful little volume of 98 pages.

Sweet Flypaper is the fiction­al life story of a Negro grand­mother, living in Harlem, with

- her thoughts about her children, her grandchildren, and life in general. The text by the great Negro.., .... - 4 -4angston Hughes is ~'tJtry as prose can be -while the superb photographs are carefully chosen to supple­ment the story.

The scene is set with this open­ing passage on Grandmother, who then becomes the narrator of our story:

"When the bicycle of the Lord bearing His messenger with a telegram for Sister Mary Bradley saying 'Come home' arrived at 113 West 134th Street, New York City, Sister Bradley said, 'Boy, take that wire right on back to St. Peter because I am not prepared to go. I might be a little sick, but as yet I ain't no ways tired.' And she would not even sign for the message-since she had read it · first, while claiming she could not find her glasses to sign the slip.

" 'For one thing.' said Sister Mary, 'I want to stay here and see what this integration the Su-· preme Court has done decreed is going to be like.'

"Since integration has been, ages without end, a permanently established custom in heaven,· the messenger boy replied that her curiosity could be satisfied quite easily above. But Sister Mary said she wanted to find out how integration was going to work on earth first, particularly in South Carolina whicl). she was planning to visit once more be­fore she died. So the messenger boy put his wire back in his pocket and departed.

"'Com~ home!' said Sister Mary. 'I got plenty time to come home when I get to be eighty, ninety, or a hundred and one. Of course, when I wake up some morning and find my own self dead, then I'll come home. But right now, you understand me, Lord, I'm so tangled up in living, I ain't got time to die.' "

And now, here is a passage on the young man who is probably her favorite grandson; Sister Mary speaks:

" 'Now, you take Rodney. That Rodney! The street's done got Rodney! How his father and his mother can wash their hands of Rodney, I do not know, when he is the spitting image of them both. But they done put him out, so's they can keep on good·timing themselves, I reckon.' So I told him, "Come here and live with your grandma." And •he come. .

"'Now, Lord, I don't know­why did I want to take Rodney? But since I did, do you reckon my prayers will reach down in

all them ·king-kong basements, and sing with the juke boxes, and walk in the midnight streets with Rodney? Do you reckon, Lord? Because there's something in that boy. You know and I know there's something in Rodney.'

" 'If he got lost in his. youth­hood, it might just not be his fault, Lord. I were wild myself when I were young-and to tell the truth, ever so once in a while, I still feeis the urge. But some­times, I wonder why the only time that boy moves fast is when he's dancing. When there's music playing, girls have to just keep looking to see where he's at, he dances so fast.' "

Finally, our little book ends on this happy note (Sister Mary, of course, still speaking):

" 'My first husband down in Carolina, which was . ~odney's grandpa-as the Irish say, God rest his soul. He were cut up by life, too; but it never got him down. I never knowed him to go to sleep neither, like Ada do, when loving was around.- Well, anyhow, I would-not choose no girl for Rodney, as I would not .. want no one to choose a man for me. But our janitor, his wife 1s dead. Do you reckon I'm too old to get ·married again? When I were sick he come ·upstairs to see me,' and he said, 'Miss Mary, · I hear tell you's. down' but with no intentions of going out.' "

"'I said, "You're right!" I done got my feet caught in the sweet flypaper of life-and I'll be dogged if I want to get loose.' "

" 'He said, "It is sweet, ain't it?" And ever since that time, that man's been looking at me, sort of-well, you know.' "

" 'And he's crazy about children. Ronnie Belle's always playing games with that man.· And she's always peeping around the door when he comes upstairs to see me .. To tell the truth, I kinder IQ(e him myself!' "

" 'As for me, well, if I do say so, I'm as good as new-back on my feet again and still kicking­with no intentions of signing no messages from St. Peter writing me to come home.' "

POETS COR.NER I SAW

by Marty Nadler I saw a giant Butterfly Flying through the air I caught this giant Butterfly_ And handled it with care I put my pet on a leash And kept him as a Friend. 'Then a sad, sad, moment, My friend came to his end. He met a lady Butterfly, a girl They call "Big Sharry." And both flew to Las· Vegas I guess they went to · marry Now this to me was a dirty trick, A rotten trick indeed. For now I have not one, but two Butterfly mouths to feed. And as time goes on, there's

bound to be, Butterflies infinity. So when you see a Butterfly,

Around ·The Construction By Tony Vincent

Well! I'm back. Whether this is of interest to you is probably completely another matter, but I'm still back. My brief vacation was due to my intense desire to prove myself after getting myself removed from the wrong Dean's List. I just didn't have time to take days to research and hours to write (n?t to ~ention typi.ng) t~is small piece of art worthy to be ment1o_ned in conversation with titles like You Too Can Become An Artist Because ... ( we need the money) or Get A Higk Sckool Education In Your Own Home And ... (see what it does for you). Now that the trivial matter of proving myself has ended in utter despair, I have to bother some­body ... ? Som~ psychologists call it a defense mechanism. I call it "vengeance is mine" or something else or other.

Now that it's taken me an hour and a half to type the first action p~cked paragraph, I'm ready to continue to better your reading standards. I don't know ~ow many people "actually ~a:7e" reading standards but "the word 1s" that each and every profu:ient college student ( or almost proficient college student or college stu­dent or ex-college student) should have some basis or standard which he ( or she or it) must set before himself ( or etc.). Surely everyone of you can rattle off _the ~op te!l bes~ sellers. This takes no imagina­tion what-so-ever. Like, 1t s tnte, pithy, and all that sort of stuff. But how many of you can name some of this year's recent literary flops? Boy, doesn't that present a real challenge which not many can conquer, I bet? ·

Now, as it is true today with most immature college students, you probably expect me to tell what works were flops and what flops were the best flops. However, I don't intend to. One must be able to take on some responsibilities by oneself and to rise above the occa­sion. You are the leaders of tomorrow, not only the vegetables of today. Someday, one of you may write one of the ten best literary

· failures and win the honors which are bestowed with it. After all, as Bac~n (one of the two Bacon brothers) once said, "Nothing suc­ceeds like failure." And he was a success!

You're probably asking yourself, if you haven't filed the paper already, what does all this mean to me. To me it means zilck, but I do hope that this has in some way helped ~ou to realize _th:tt pos­sibly you, as. well as anyone else, also potentially have a similar op­portunity ·which you through sense perception and experience see in the outside world possessed by others. Whether this message has gotten through to yo~ or not, I'll never know but there is still hope.

ROVING EYE (Continued from page S)

In 1945, the French put up re­sistance and fought against Japan with the result that the French were forced to fight there way out through the jungle for five hundred miles. This could not have been accomplished without the help of the natives.

NGUYEM AIM QUOC was cap­tured after the war by National­ist China. China and France wanted to get rid of him, but as I have been told by important Frenchmen and Laotians, officials of the United States government instituted his release. NGUYEM was given arms in order to fight the Japanese that were still in Indochina. NGUYEM changed his name to HO CHIN MIN which means son of freedom. He then recruited guerillas by saying that he had the support of the United States (which was true). HO soon squabbled with the French and started the Indochinese Revolu­tion. The U.S. supported his in­surrection until the Korean War when they realized that this was part of a general Communist war. By this time it was too late to stop him, and the French were de­feated at Nam Bien Phu.

The South Vietnamese severed most of their relations with France. Laos and Cambodia chose to remain in the French Common­wealth. North Viet Nam under HO CHIN MIN remained friendly for awhile with France.

If we had not let NGUYEM AIM QUOC (HO CHIN MIN) go we would not be in this current mess. Therefore:

1. We should not have meddled in colonial affairs of other na­tions.

2. No Vietnamese nation can exist independently because it has to many minorities and no ma­jorities.

3. This is the first time in his­tory that the Buddhists of the Ceyi sect, in more than twenty. five hundred years, have ever shown prejudice against anyone, and it is significant that it is mainly against the United States.

Therefore we should get out or move in. We should impose a non­Vietnamese military government for the area to keep the peace. If we continue under the delusion that the democratic forces will be victorious, I am afraid that we will be greatly disappointed; and if we don't change our policy very quickly it will cost us many American lives.

(Editor's note: Dr. Jackson has lived in Laos for several years, and knows intimately many of the leading leaders in the Indo­Chinese area.)
