'Devotion Vietnam By MONA GAULT Staff Writer "Once you get their devotion and trust, you have no problem with the Vietnamese." Thus Capt. Samuel Deacon summed up what he says has now become the American emphasis for the Vietnam conflict-winning the hearts and minds of the Viet namese people. Speaking to the Young Ameri cans for Freedom last Monday night, the veteran of several tours of duty with the U. S. Army Spe cial Forces in war-torn Vietnam, discussed his personal experi ences. When he first arrived in Viet nam in 1963, he found the Ameri cans' efforts to work with the Vietnamese often ending in frus tration or failure. He noted an instance in which the Americans employed some villagers to fill INQI By HARRY By HARRY QUESTION: With talk of Stt by geography, can INQUIII dents on and off campus a1 ANSWER: The following is t in dormitories and apartme Horseshoe 236 Maxcy 174 Coker 48 Thornwell 69 Snowden 44 Woodrow 69 Burney 48 Preston 282 H Dorm 250 J Dorm 254 K Dorm 254 L Dorm 254 M Dorm 248 N Dorm 252 Frat.

"However, times have changed in Vietnam," he said. U. S. ef forts to rehabilitate villages and farms are meeting with increased success. Describing the rehabilitation work of his own company in the mountainous northern provinces of South Vietnam, Capt. Deacon said, "We worked with mountain eers who had known only Diem." These mountaineers, who re garded their own government with suspicion, were taught basic sanitation and economy, learning in the process that the Americans were their friends. "The best all over program to show Vietnam that America wants to help is the aid given the farm ers in harvesting their rice crops."

Speaking to about 40 studeni at the Wesley Center, Josep Hammonds suggested that tl Orangeburg school, predominant] Negro, be closed temporarily an reopened as part of the total Un versity system of the state. H claimed, "We havc the facilitik . for the University of Sout Carolina at Orangeburg." Also speaking was Isaac Wi liams, senior class president an leader of the movement; Dr. Be Moore, Columbia College profess< and S. C. chapter president of tI American Association of Unive: sity Professors that negotiate ti e truce at the college; and Ber jamin Bryant, another suspende student. BEST USE Following the meeting he mair tained that the best use of th facility would be as an entir school or department of the Uni versity. One example given was all USC foreign language stu dents being enrolled at Orange burg. Coalition President William said that one of the protest meth ods used was a large number o requests for transfer slips to th University. "It would have cre ated a hell of a problem here, he said. D)r. Moore said that the corn mittee endorsed by the Governor' Commission on Higher Educatio' to negotiate at State was looking into the future role of State ir South Carolina higher education.

Draft, Debate( By CARL STEPP Chief Reporter Hot debate on the draft, Viet nam, and controversial speakers on: campus dominated a lively Stu dent Speak-Out session last Fri day. Over 100 persons, students and faculty, participated in the event, one in a series of Speak-Outs held every other Friday. "It's time South Carolina became aware of the other side of ques tions - and especially the legis lature here," declared one student. "Why not have radicals?" he con tinued. "If a communist c o m e s here, I'm going to say, 'Now I see his reasons for believing what he does - what are mine for believing otherwise'." BAI) REPUTATION "I don't think the maiority of people in South Carolina want USC to have a bad reputation as a radical university," said another speaker. "What if we get a had reputa tion?" was the answer. "We'll still know we are right." it Leaders ith USC d pressed interest in the possible use n of State College as a four-year liberal arts institution under the s University, serving the cimmut h ing students of the Orangeburg e area and dormitory students much y as the proposed four-year insti d tutions for Coastal Carolina, i- Aiken, and Florence. e Much of the discussion centered fs on methods of obtaining students' h rights and breaking th~ "vicious cycle" of second rate education. 1- Hammonds. back in school d while the courts are considering b his suspension, said, "The ad >r ministration has no power over eC any student body if it has become r- united.

The first would have made a mi"rophone available on campus for any student to express his views. The second sought to allow any student or s t u d e n t group, recognized by the University or not, to submit requests for speak ers on campus. As the s p e a k e r policy now stands, recognized student groups may submit for administrative ap proval requests to invite a speaker to ciampus. GREEK PODIUM Several students advo(cated hav ing r e g u I a r speak - outs on the campus grounds or establishing a "(reek podium" available at cer tain hours for student use. Other students maintained that ''utSide sessions woould become dis or'derly and be doninated "by the ibiggest mouth." Another major point of conten t.i(tn was the draft system.
