Tje question this week is;
are your first impres-
jjjs of the new Convocation-
Conversation policy concerning
chapel programs?” Students and
faculty members across campus
,ere asked for their opinion on
lithe subject. Some of the better
llanswers stated were:
"I think that non-required con-
iiversations are a good idea. I
that the convocations nec-
lessary to the students becoming
jmore aware and enlightened
Isioiild be required. Those that
I not directly contribute to
lour education at ACC should not
required.”-J.H. (student )
:a^ “It could be very advantageous
laito the student body, if they
. Fiwould take advantage of it . . .
it could if they would, but they
■^won’t.”—F. G. (Student )
"The types of programs of-
[tered are good, but there is a
possible lack of stimulating or
I controversial issues. Issues more
relevant to student needs should
included.”—L.W. (faculty)
"I think that the channel of
communication can be extended
through the program." —R.S.

Sen. Birch Bayh Addresses Students;
lorts U. S. Position In Vietnam
Supp<
By RHErrr WHTTE
Senator Birch Bayh, Democrat
of Indiana said on this campus
last week that tiie United States
miBt “redefine” its goals in the
Vietnamese war.
Speaking to only 67 persons in
Wilson Gym on the campus of
Atlantic Christian College, the
1 Senator 'said "we must find a
I ray for the Saigon government
I to win the war.” He stated that
fte United States cannot win a
military victory in Vietnam
alone for this is a three-fold
struggle, "one military, another
two poUtical and economic.”
The United States must now
“develop South Vietnam’s capac
ity to deal with its own prob-
We must rapidly train and
equip their army with modem
anos. . .We must bring pressune
Sen. Bayh, during speech . . .
on the South Vietnam'ese govern
ment to prevent corruptioji at
th« expense of American lives
. . .We need to shift increasingly
the responsibility for some of
the existing government pro
grams over to the Vietnamese,”
he said.
Sponsored
The young Senator whose ap
pearance was sponsored by the
Atlantic Christian .College As
sembly and Concert Committee,
maintains 'that United States in
volvement in Vietnam is consist
ent with piast American policy of
containing Communist aggression
in Eastern Europe. He said that
we are in Vietnam “to let 200
million Southeast Asians deter
mine their own destiny without
Communist influence. This is a
worthwhile goal.”
Citing Vietnam as the num
ber erne problem facing us to
day, Senator Bayh said “there
is a temptation in our Democrat
ic society to try to find some
one to blame the war on. You
can say the President is respon
sible. In a way he is. He is the
Commander - in Chief of the
American forces. You can go
back to President Kennedy and
say he is responsible because
he sent advisors into the war.
You can go back to Eisenhower
and John Foster Dulles and say
they were responsible for get
ting involved with the Indochina
treaties. But frankly, there is
little to be accomplished by
bu'ckpassing.”
The question facing us now,
said the Indiana Democrat, is
“how do we stop the war in a
manner that will provide per
manence? What is the best long-
range solution?”
With that question in mind the
Senator discu'ssed three alterna
tives that the United States must
face in the next few weeks.
The United States can with
draw from Southeast Asia, he
said, but the price would “prob
ably the worst blood bath the
world has ever known.” Citing
talks with leaders in Thailand,
Indonesia, and the Philippines
who felt that America “ ’must
solve the problem in Vietnam’ ”,
the Senator who recently return
ed from a tour of war-torn
Vietnam said that at this mo
ment in history our “inability
to deal with the problem in
South Vietnam will have rami
fications in all of Southeast Asia.
We Uve in a new world with
powers heretofore unused, yet

burg.
The performance on campus
is dedicated to the memory of
Sandburg, one of America’s tall
est literary figures. The produc
tion opens the “Sandburg Song-
bag” and dips into the riches
of his poetry and prose.
Bringing also to the American
scene the new talents of Richard,
Slocum, Maureen McKovioh and
Jim Bob Kessinger, the Alpha-
Omega Players promises an
evening of both wit and wis
dom, laughter and pathos all
gathered from the roots of the
ideas and pastions that are Sand
burg's beloved America.
The production has been staged
and directed by Drexel H. Riley,
executive producer of the Alpha-
Omega Players.
