Odette iNiguyen, AOC’s foreign
student from Viet Nam, leift
ACC’s campus Sunday, October
23 to be-come an instructor of
Vietnamese To American soldiers
preparing to serve in^ her na
tive Viet iNiam. Odette said when
she left that since American
soldiers are dying in Viet Nam,
she feels she should contribute
jdl that she can to give them a
better chance for survival.
Odette’s teadiing of such phrases
as "change” and “hold that posi
tion” will provide the soldiers
with stronger bases of communi
cation in (battle.
Contributing to the war effort
is not new to Odette. While she
was living in South Vietnam, she
flew on missions with Americans
and Vietnamese in order to in
terpret their communications. It
must not have been easy for
Odette to give up her education
— she is a good student and an
education wiU facilitate her re
ceiving a position in her own
government. But Odette has
chosen to serve her country and
ours at this particular
time when the United States
desperately needs services such
as the one which she is going to
provide. She will teach Vietna
mese in El Paso, Texas for a
period of six months and then
she win either continue in the
same capacity or return' to
school. Whichever Odette decides
to do, she will be a definite as
set to the Vietnamese situation.

of social injustice, revenge, and
renunciation, set in the New
York slums in a dilapidated tene

in verse. 'Mio, the son of a radi
cal named iBomagna who was
executtd for murder, is con
sumed with the desire to clear
his father’s name. On the track
of Garth, the one witness who
could exonerate his father, Mio

They fall deeply in love. The
girl and her father w.pt to pro
tect Garth, who is closely
watched by the real killer,
gangster Trock Estrella. An old

who sentenced Romagna to
death, tries to justify his de
cision. Mio could force Garth to
testify, but Miriamne has caused
him to lose the taste for re
