Student Tells Why He
Supports Vietnam War
By ABBY KAIGHIN
People who oppose the
nam war are heard from
Viet
a lot
on this campus.
But there are people around
who support the war; people like
Gary Watkins, a veteran of Viet
nam who is attending summer
school here.
He talked about the war for
two and a half hours with a
reporter one day recently, about
the opinions of soldiers who are
in Vietnam, about why we are
fighting like we are, about
pacification, about speakers on
campus who oppose the war.
"The U. S. citizen seems to
think the average G.I. Joe is a
high school graduate, but that's
not the case. Maybe one or two
in a platoon is a college grad.
Most of the guys didn't go to
college and find all the wrongs
and don'ts about government.

was as dedicated an American
as you can get. He believed in
the Marine corps. . .almost too
much. . .he thought they'd be

necessarily go along with college

opposition as being from left
liberal groups of college.
"I've just been home since the
middle of June. I've been in
areas where there is a big pro

California and we who took the

always present questions they

It was like that night Cairns

South Vietnam never made any
moves for peace treaties. I know
he has reason for saying that,

"It makes me mad. In one day
over there (in Vietnam) I lost 25
good friends. Then I get up and
say something here and that
man wouldn't even talk to me.
Watkins said he didn't have
any political opinions before he
went over to Vietnam. He joined
the Naval reserves in '61 and
from there he was 'drafted' into
the Marine medical corps.
Watkins was in the first regi

Vietnam that was in March of

Americans are witnessing "a
revolution bordering on
anarchy" in new Negro leaders
who are preaching hate, violence
and destruction, one of the na
tion's leading authorities on race
relations maintains.
"Negro leaders used to be
middle class church goers and
members of the NAACP who
wanted equal rights and
freedom to participate in
American society," Dr. Guy B.
Johnson explains.
"The new Negro leaders like
Stokely Carmichael and Rap
Brown are angry young men
flirting with anarchy. They don't
care much about the con
sequences of their actions. They
just want to 'get at Whitey' and

The 20th NSA National Student
Congress promises to be one of
the most beneficial and in
teresting of any ever held.
When the thousands of
delegates converge on College
Park from August 10 through 27,
UNC will be represented by
more delegates, alternates and
observers than any other school
except the University of Min
nesota. And for good reason. Not only
is the Congress dealing with
such issues of national im
portance as NSA-CIA in
volvement and the draft, but
also with issues of special in
terest at Carolina.
Among the topics to be
covered are pass-fail systems,
experimental colleges, the stu
dent press, and student stress.
The two million member
organization must decide on
several key questions at the7
Congress. One of the issues wiT
concern whether the NSA shoult
withdraw its 1963 declaration of
support of the Student Non
violent Coordinating Committee
(SNCC).
The issue of drugs will feature
Dr. Timothy Leary, the leading
spokesman of drug use as a
religious cult.
Each delegate from UNC will
be assigned an area in which to
concentrate while at the
Congiess. Upon returning to
Carolina they will make reports
to be used for possible future ac
tions and reforms.
The seven delegates are: Ken
Day, Karen Gibbon, David Kiel,
Bob Powell, Sharon Rose, Bob
Travis (head of the delegation)
and Bill Purdy.
In addition, seven alterates
will attend. It will be their job to
aid the delegates and take their
places on the floor if needed
during voting. The alternates
destroy American society."
Johnson is a Kenan Professor
of Sociology and Anthropology at
the University here, and is co
editor of SOCIAL FORCES, a
leadin sociological journal. A
professor in the
1:; for Research in Social
ScL wj, he has done numerous
studies on race r ations.
"It's ironical that riots and
'burn baby burn' slogans have
come on the heels of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 and Supreme
Court decisions on equal rights
and non-discrimination," h e
says.
"We have this revolution at
the very time things were begin
ning to look promising. But the
fact is that these riots have little
to do with the civil rights move-

are: Joyce Davis, Buck Golds
tein, Charles Jeffress, Arthur
Rainy, Mike Zimmerman, Dick
Levy and Tom Bennett.
Seminars will last several
days and will cover topics such
as pass-fail and the ex
perimental college. Students
from various universities will
meet to exchange facts and
ideas and propose im
provements. The Carolina delegation will
include a number of observers
so that a great number of semi
nars may be covered. Observers
are Dick Callaway, Harry Dif
fendal, Judy Giullet, Marie Har
riss, Cherie Lewis, Patty
McKinneu, Bob Manekin, Bob
Bass, Ken Mort, Tom Webb,
Cari Younger and Phil Clay.
Carolina will also be very in
volved in the power structure of
the N.S.A. Jed Dietz is the
Chairman of the Carolinas
Virginia region.
Eric Van Loon and Teddy
O'Toole are members of the Na-,
tional Supervisory Board.
O'Toole will be running for Vice
President of the National Affairs
Committee.
The Carolina delegates will be
called upon to consider drafting
a student bill of rights that calls
for virtually unrestricted stu
dent rights of association and
controls over a , university's
disciplinary function.
John Kenneth Galbraith, who
spoke at the 1965 Carolina Sym
posium, will address the
Congress on "The Arrog a n c e
of Omnipresence. The Overex
tension of American Foreign
Policy."
The final value of the
Congress will not be known until
the delegates return and make
their reports, but with the wide
range of topics being offered,
and with the number o f
delegates attending, UNC should
gain many valuable idea? for
application at home.

ment and will actually do it
great harm."
Johnson attributes the riots to
several major trends among the
Negro people in recent years.
These are a tremendous popula
tion increase, migration from
farm to city and from South to
North and West, economic
deprivation and unemployment,
and racial attitudes of both
blacks and whites.
"The Negro race in this coun
try has multiplied from 4 1-2
million at emancipation to over
21 million today," he reports.
"Migration has lead to con
centration of Negroes in black
ghettos and has brought them
face-to-face with the basic fact
of indifference: The average
