STUDENT OPINION GIVEN ON
VIETNAM ASSEMBLY
The assembly Tuesday morning
was a question and answer period
between Mr. Noel and Mr. Nich
ols concerning Mr. NichoTs stay
in Vietnam for a year as an of
ficer in the United States Army.
Pertinent questions about the
Vietnamese people, the American
soldiers and the war itself were
discussed iii the half hour. Stu
dent reactions to the program
were mainly favorable, but some
disagreed on the form of the pre
sentation.
Two students have contradictory
views as to the nature of the pro
gram. One student felt that the
di.seussion was too impersonal.
She wanted Mr. Nichols to give
more personal experiences and

maracas; Pattie Graves on the
tambourine; Mary Strange on the
bongos; and Susan Lutz on the
castanets. At the iryouts, the girls
were organized in groups of six
or seven and performed for the old
members of the Cold Cuts. Bach
group was required to sing the
Cold Cut song, “Little Darling”
plus one of their own choice.
A highlight of the assembly
was IVlattie Simmons’ rendition of
her original version of “A Hun

evaluations instead of generaliza
tions one can get from magazines
and books. Another girl complete-
ly opposed this by saying that she
liked the talk because it was from
a personal point of view and not
,iust a political one.
Many liked the assembly and
were delighted that it concerned
current events and something of
real importance. They felt that
Mr. Nichols gave a realistic in
sight into the feelings of the Viet
namese people and into the fear
the people and soldiers live in
daily. One student liked the idea
of first-hand information and the
fact that Mr. Nichols as a sociolo
gist could interpret this informa
tion in a professional manner.
There were some aspects of the
program that students didn’t like.
A student liked the idea of the
program but she didn’t like the
way it was put across. She felt
that it was set up and rambled
on without any question being
completely answered. Many ex
pressed the regret that there was
not enough time to cover the ques
tions adequately. The coughing
and rustling noises of the students
distracted from the talk, and
many students said they had a
hard time hearing. More of these
type of assemblies seem to be
wanted by all the students.
