SAIGON ()- tWhat do the Viet-
n mese people think about such
things as the war, their govern-
ment, the Americans, the future?
Any attempt to answer that
reflects the divergent views and
circumstances that make up Viet
Nam.
Who are the people? Are they
the 80 per cent who live off the
land in this country of 15 mil-
lion? Are they represented by the
military structure that has come
into dominance? Are they the in-
tellectuals, the professional peo-
ple?
Various Groups
All these, with student and re-
ligious groups that have been ac-
tive in the past, make up the
people. There are almost as many
answers to the question of what
they think as there are groups,
or perhaps individuals.
Take Saigon for example. This
once-pleasant city has taken on
the aspects of a tawdry boom
town, but some people seem to like
what has happened. They hear the
artillery every night and they see
flares light up the sky. Some-
times some of them are killed or
maimed in a terrorist explosion.
But the city is jammed with
free-spending Americans and there
is money to be made.
More Shops
Restaurants, bars and cabarets,
souvenir shops and hotels are
springing up all over the place.
The demand for skilled or semi-
skilled labor cannot be met. There
are jobs for almost anyone who
wants to work.
Prices of almost everything have
skyrocketed, however, and the in-
come of a man on a salary has not
kept pace. Some basic foods often
are scarce. The city is jammed
with people who have fled the war
in the countryside. Despite gov-
ernment bans, beggars flock to the
streets. When the midnight curfew
comes, there are sleeping forms,
many of them children, along the
sidewalks and in doorways on they

once fashionable boulevards. There
are poor, sometimes hungry, peo-
ple.
Despite the misery, there is a
"make it now" atmosphere, cou-
pled with the acceptance of a
people long accustomed to war.
True Elsewlhere
Much the same is true in other
cities and larger towns in Viet
Nam. There is a boom, brought
by the influx of more than 200,-
000 U.S. military men, the ac-
companying construction projects
and the rich aid programs.
While the get-rich-quick ele-
ment enjoy it, there is another
side.
"We are corrupting these peo-
ple," said a white-haired American
driving along a bar-lined street.
"After the French and after some
of the things they have been
through with some of their own
governments, I wouldn't have
thought it was possible. But it is."
Feelings Shared
Some Vietnamese share his feel-
ings. They say they realize the nec-
essity for what has happened to
their country. Many are sincerely
grateful for the U.S. military ef-
fort, and say they believe it has
given them their last chance:to
keep from being taken over by,
the Communists. Still, they wish
things could have been different.
As for what they think of the
government, the usual comment
is: "Well, it has lasted longer
than anyone thought it would."
Stable Regime
This is true. When the military
regime headed by Premier Nguyen'
Cao Ky took power last June,
few people gave it much of a
chance. Now, on the surface and
as governments go in Viet Nam,
it appears fairly stable.
"What do you think of Premier
Ky and his government?" was
the question put to one 23-year-
old girl at an English language
school.
"Mr. Ky is a big man now and
so people like him," she replied.

"If something happens and Mr.
Ky isn't a big man any more, then
people won't like him."
Vague View
Her somewhat vague view seem-
ed representative of the thinking
of many of the people and indica-
tive of their acceptance of politi-
cal circumstance.
In the United States, the ques-
tion of free elections for Viet Nam
often is debated. Many ask if
the Vietnamese people would vote
for an anti-Communist govern-
ment.
Here the question seems beside
the point of reality.
No Communist Role
High American authorities con-
cede that when the Vietnamese
government talks of holding elec-
tions, as it says it will do in 1967,
it is thinking only of the election
of non-Communists. It is not con-
sidering any plan for letting the
Viet Cong's National Liberation
Front or any other Communist
group put up candidates.
While saying they know of no
way to insure free -elections now,
Americans here do hold theoreti-
cal discussions on the subject.
Qualified persons emphasize that
for years the Communists have
been working to build what now is
a disciplined, experienced, knowl-
edgeable political machine. They
recognize there is nothing like it
on the Vietnamese government
side, and they leave little doubt
that if there were a free election
now, the majority of the ballots
would come out Communist.
Viets Agree
Although the official pronounce-
ments differ, many Vietnamese
will agree privately with that as-
sessment.
This does not mean that the ma-
jority of the people want to be
ruled by the Communists. Many
are strongly opposed to it. Thou-
sands fled from Communist rule
in the North. It is felt that the
young military men now holding
power are dedicated in their fight
against Communism.
Takeover Predicted
There also are those, however,
who see no real hope.
The wife of a successful Saigon
doctor speaks four languages now.
She plans to take English lessons.
Asked if she planned to visit the
United States, she replied:
"No, we hope to be able to
move there after the Communists
take over."
The tired cliche still holds as
far what the people think and
want: Most of them just want to
be left alone.

mare. It must be recognized that
responsibility for ultimate decision
making rests with the administra--
tion. However, the student can
make a significant contribution if
he has the resources to, draw
upon.1
Barry Bluestone, '66, a mem-
ber of the "University of Michigan
Student Economic Union and for-
mer SGC member, said, "The stu-
dents need a more direct voice
than the one which advisory com-
mittees provides."
Working through "proper chan-
nels" hasn't led to much progress
as far as student. causes are con-
cerned. The students must take
direct stands on issues which con-
cern them and then if necessary
enlist the aid of other organiza-
tions outside the University," Blue-
stone said.
Peter DiLorenzi, of the execu-
tive committee of Voice political
party, said that students should
have more power than they will in
a system of advisory, committees.
"Part of the learning process of
the student is controlling the poli-
cy making of the society in which
he functions. A good example of
this is the Free University, where
the faculty and the students work
together to establish the policies
which they will follow."
Housing Policy
The pilot student advisory com-
mittee, not directly under any of
the nine OSA divisions, is work-
ing on problems of the University's
total housing policy. Cutler estab-
lished this committee last fall
after protests by Voice political
party on the high cost of off-
campus housing.
John Bishop, one of the mem-
bers of the housing committee,
pointed out that first it was diffi-
cult because communication be-
tween the administration and the
committee was not adequate.
At the present time, however, the
committee is functioning effective-
ly because the administration and
the students are working together
on the projects, he said. "Advis-

ory committees can be effective
if the students really work to gain
knowledge, and know what they
are talking about. They also have
to have a good case to present,"
Bishop commented.

represent student body ideas to the
faculty.
Mass Participation
Effort has been made to get as
mittees, this committee acts to
much student opinion as possible
before submitting final proposals
for faculty action. The committee
on prelims, for example, first
heard student ideas at the second
general meeting, discussed the
proposals with students and fac-
ulty, and recently presented their
ideas to the students in a referen-
dum. The results of this referen-
dum will decide what ideas are to
be presented to the faculty. The
proposal on prelims aims at mak-
II

ing prelims less general than they
are now so a student's specific
area will be covered rather than
the entire field of economics.
This movement to present stu-
dent ideas to the faculty has been
characterized by good participa-
tion with about 30 per cent of the
economics graduate students com-
ing to general meetings and about
70 per cent voting in the recent
referendum.
One member of the central com-
mittee commented that the size of
the economics department makes
it more conducive to closer fac-
ulty-student 'communication than
might be possible in larger depart-
ments.
