Politica Vietnan By JEANNE M. POWELL (USC News Service) What would happen if the United States bombed Haiphong Harbor in North Vietnam, sank two Russian ships and a British ship and killed 30 Russians? S. C. political science students found an answer quickly during the playing of "Peace Game Viet nam" in an International Rela tions course. Peace games are counterparts of the traditional "war games" played by the military and Dr. John B. McConnaughy, prof. of Political Science, suggests that the U. S. Department of State might profit from playing a "peace game," which he sees as an im provement over looking at issues DR. ENNIS REES Art Profess( For Entry h Asst.

Each country makes a move in ,he above order and the countries Nhich follow make moves in rela ion to this move, with the even ;ual aim of "peace," though as Dr. WcConnaughy points out, "no' peace at any price." Any player can object to an Ather's move on the grounds that ,he player was not being "typical >f the country" by such a move. rhe referee at this point was Dr. WcConnaughy. The professor also Awas the one to decide how much lamage was incurred by a par icular move such as bombing Hai hong Harbor. When the USC peace game tarted, the first US move was to Brer Rabbit Lives Again Dr. Ennis Rees of the English Department is au thor of "Brer Rabbit and His Tricks," a rhymed verse version of three "trickster" stories from America's cul tural heritage. The stories are "Brer Rahhit and the Tar Baby," e "Winnianimus Grass," and "Hello, House!" But most present - day children a r e unfamiliar with the B r e r Rabbit Stories, mainly because they first appeared in dialect versions which were diffi cult to understand.

The Viet ,ong and North Vietnamese 3assed for the moment and Red hina sent 20 divisions to her yorder with North Vietnam, in !reased her air force on Hainan [sland, and stated she would at ,ack only if North Vietnam were nvaded. The Russians, (luring their turn protested to the United States, isked for a public apology from .he US, asked for United Nations iid, and said if the bombardment lid not stop they would intervene n Vietnam. South Vietnam proposed peace alks with the Viet Cong and said ,hey would look forward to the ovithdrawal of "all outside forces" rrom Vietnam. The United Nations then calledl )n all parties to support the South Vietnamese p:'opo-al. The peace game continued with' ieven more moves for each player before peace was finally reached. The United States' eighth move was to agree to removal of its forces in return for f.-ir elections in South Vietnam (with the Viet Cong pari-ipating) under Unitedj Nations supervision, and on thel r o n d i t i o n that peace-keepiny forces (sent by Scandinavian coun tries) be in South Vietnam after the election. The Viet Cong replied that they were "happy that the United States has agreed to withdraw its troops" and they notified all the "big powers" that they oppose South Vietnam being used by the "powers" for selfish reasons. Peace was reached, b it the realism of the game was debated. Some students felt that it was realistic but others wondered whether the United States, the North Vietnamese, Viet Cong or South Vietnamese really want peace. Steps toward peace could ac tually follow a format similar to the one the students developed in their "game," Dr. McConnaughy said.

The alternative to peace or working toward peace, as Dr. Mc Connaughy sees it, is the way the United States is moving now toward escalation and eventual in volvement of Cambodia in the war. He agrees with those persons who say that McNamara's departure from the Department of Defense indicates future escalation of the war. 1 .4 L By JIMMY WANNAMAKER Faculty-Academic Editor The end of a semester.
