THE COLLEGE NEWS



From Vi

much family resemblance, and I
understood where each of them had
received their beautiful simplicity
and quiet strength. The father
of one of the dead boys, who used
to sing and charm us all with
his warm smile. and cheerful
personality, came to me after the
funeral and expressed his deepest
gratitude to me for helping the
School and for having been his
son’s good friend. When I pro-
tested that there was very little

@

“I could do to help he said, ‘It

is your loving spirit that is im-
portant. In this war-torn country,
the School is doing important work,
and it succeeds because the work
is done with love. You are help-
ing by giving that spirit and en-
couraging the students. Much of
the actual work cannot be done by
you. They are Vietnamese prob-
lems and must be worked out by
the Vietnamese. Buthumanunder-
standing and love is without national
boundaries, and you serve us with
your presence,”’

I learned later that this parent
had told the School that he had
three more boys at home, and if
any one of them expressed adesire
to come to the School to serve
the people as his eldest son had
done, then he would gladly. send
them. Such is the atmosphere
I work in, where people give their
all for their country and their
fellow men.

War Victims
In early October the students
graduated and departed with
wonderful spirit to various regions
‘of South. Vietnam to start their
‘work. I hope to visit them in

a few months to share in their
work and to understand better the
problems of Vietnam. One of the
teams went to Quang Tri to sur-
vey the refugee camps there and
sent a bleak letter reporting the
miserable--conditions of the place.
One of the refugee camps has
12,000 people, little water, very
little food (things promised them
by the government get waylaid),
no education, and very poor health
and sanitary conditions. They have
heard unofficially that at least a
hundred’ children die each month
from malnutrition and disease, and
yet more keep pouring in because
of the destruction of their villages.

Until recently, the School.

. has ‘been unable to-give any relief

to the war victims (especially the
war wounded). This was because
they had their hands _ full
in community development train-
ing which is a long range con-
structive plan, and they could not
cope with the vast physical destruc-
tion of the war. They had neither
the personnel, the funds, or the
medical know-how to be able to
do anything meaningful in the'war
relief field. However, as the
terrible knowledge of the physical
suffering. everywhere weighed
heavily on each person at
the School, they had béen pondering
hard how to overcome their in-
adequacies of personnel, funds and
know-how.
Dedicated Vietnamese

Now they have opened a branch
to help the war casualties. Their
approach is thus. One of the pro-
blems of the war has been the num-
ber of wounded people who do not
reach the) hospitals and_ die

unnecessarily from lack of treat-

ment. For example, many doctors
from abroad have come to survey
the casualty cases and remark that
there are few napalm burn cases
‘in the hospitals, and those few are
being adequately treated. The truth
is that there are hundreds of people

-burned by napalm who die agonizing

deaths because there is no way for
them toreacha hospital. Similarly,

peoplé
suffer unnecessary amputations
just because their condition’ is so
bad when they finally reach medical
care. The School has decided to
work in an intermediary capacity
by moving right after battles
take place or villages are bombed
to give first aid and then trans-
port the victims to the nearest
hospital or medical center avail-
Starting at this point they
hope to be able to work out trans-
portation for the serious cases to

be sent into the big city hispitals. -

Also, eventually they hope to get

nfedical teams (consisting of doc-
tors and nurses) which can move
in quickly to the destroyed areas
to give more than first aid treat-

‘ment from the very beginning.

I cannot tell you how fortunate
I am to work with these dedicated

“young Vietnamese at the School of

Youth for Social Service. I began
the letter by saying that it is so
different here from the peaceful
atmosphere of Bryn Mawr College;
But in reality this School is an
oasis of peace and beauty where
one can come and be revived in
spirit, be comforted and refreshed
for active service.
the spirit of peace and love which
each person has and cannot be
marred by the constant roar of
the military planes and helicopters
overhead, or the violent attacks
to destroy the School. During this
season and the coming year I wish
to share with you this precious
spirit and hope you too will write
to share with me your thoughts
and activities.
With warm regards,

(Continued from page 1)
War, McCarthy called for im-
mediate negotiations for peace.
‘‘We have refused to negotiate from
a position of weakness; we
have refused to negotiate from
strength ... When will we be in
a position to negotiate?’

Although he seated himself
when he finished his remarks,
McCarthy was brought to his feet
four times by a standing ovation
and cries of ‘‘Bravo!’? ‘‘Bravo!”’

Mr. Blair Clark, McCarthy’s
national compaign manager, spoke
to a smaller gathering after the
‘dinner, He reported that ‘‘This
‘campaign has had unusual diffi-
culty. raising funds. We have
to raise 50,000 dollars in the
next five days for the New Hamp-
shire primary campaign.’’ He
added that he was extremely my-
stified by press reports that
““¢The money is rolling in.’’’
‘It isn’t,’’? he said, ‘and we need
all the help we can get.’’

McCarthy, too, spoke briefly. .
Looking down at his hands
and-then- up at the crowd, he
smiled. ‘‘I just want to tell you
that what Blair says is true. We
need help.’’ :
