are necessary limits on the extent
a colonial power can spread and
keep order.
Opposed Domination
At a seminar observers said
countries in Southeast Asia have
opposed Chinese domination for
2000 years and therefore they
cannot be expected to easily ac-
cept it in this century.
The long tradition of independ-
ence of Southeast Asian nations
requires that a distinction be
made between Communist govern-
ments and Chinese or Russian
controlled governments.
Participants reasoned that if a
government or a "liberation move-
ment" in Southeast Asia is Com-
nunist, it is not necessarily the
case that -it is in collaboration
with Peking or Moscow. There
was support for the notion that
Hanoi's government h a s no
stronger ties to Peking than Yugo-
slavia has to Russia.
A student at the teach-in rea-
soned that the present U.S. poli-
cies in Southeast Asia derive from
the anti-Communist sentiments
generated in the McCarthy in-
vestigations of the early fifties.
de asserted that American policies
Would be more effective if the
public opinion hadn't been influ-
enced to equate all that is Com-
mhunistic with all that is evil.
Dulles Policy
Many attending the seminars
felt John Foster Dulles, former
secretary of state, was instru-
mental in establishing U.S. policy
based on the "domino" theory. He
4lso established the policy, it was
asserted, that if foreign nations
were not with the U.S., they must
be in the Eastern camp-he did
not believe in the concept of neu-
trality.
wRobert Brown, an economist
Who spent six years as a state
department advisor in Viet Nam,
4sserted in his lecture that Dulles'
policy had detrimental effects up-

structing schools, clinics, roads and
bridges. Many of these projects
were destroyed by the Viet Cong
soon after they were completed
according to Warne who showed
slides.
Young said that the Viet Cong's
use of "terror, intimidation, and
physical and psychological. con-
trols directed and financed by
Hanoi" against the South Viet-
namese, severely reduce the ef-
fectiveness of any aid program.
Five-Point Program
fn a recent article appearing in
the Chicago Daily News, Young
outlined a five-point program
which he feels would defeat the
NorthdVietnamese. The program
includes:
-A statement of political goals
in which we spell out our aims
and targets for Southeast Asia in
terms of their goals of political
independence and economic self-
sufficiency;
-A program of rural resurgency
aimed at gaining the full support
of the peasants for the South Viet
Cong government and accomplish-
ed through the "Three R's" of
"Rifles, Rice and Reform";
-Techniques of "Instant De-
fense" which assure security in the
villages and across the country-
side and reduce the threat of
Communist terrorists;
-Plans for regional develop-
ment and the creation of a "TVA-
like" system on the Mekong River;
-A strategy of regional mili-
tary insulation which would pro-
vide for the use of international,
not just American forces.

on the uotcome of the Bandung
Conference of the middle fifties.
The conference was an effort of
non-white nations to create a for-
eign policy, he said.
Internal Problems
"They felt they had important
internal problems and the last
thing they wanted was to be
drawn into the Cold War. While
this conference was drafting a
policy of neurtality, Dulles de-
manded that they either align
with the U.S. or be considered
against her," Brown said.
Another lecturer, Arthur Was-
kow of the Institute for Policy
Studies, thought that U.S. policies
in Viet Nam were having a "re-
verse domino theory effect." He
argued that countries were reject-
ing U.S. friendship because of her
military goals.
Wary of U.S.
"The countries in Southeast
Asia are becoming wary of U.S.
military objectives which are us-
ing their people to implement
American goals," Waskow de-
clared.
In support of Sen. Wayne Morse
(D-Ore) several participants in
the teach-in argued that regard-
less of any aspects of the 1954
Geneva accord on Viet Nam that
Hanoi may have broken, U.S. oc-
cupation in South Viet Nam is
unjustified because she has ignor-
ed those parts of the treaty
which:

-Prohibit the introduction of
U.S. forces into Viet Nam; (Continued from Page 1)
-Prohibit the establishment of
separate governments in Hanoi The division is also working on

These elections were aborted by
a U.S. supported government in
Saigon.
Ineffective Policies
Because present U.S. Viet Nam
policies are allegedly ineffective
or because they are in violation
of international law, in the opin-
ion of many teach-in partici-
pants, the U.S. should withdraw
her forces in Viet Nam. Few peo-
ple believed, however, that peace
in Viet Nam would result from the
withdrawal of U.S. troops.
Several students were concerned
with the loss of prestige the U.S.
would suffer were it to pull out of
Viet Nam. Others countered with
the argument that Washington is
currently engaged in a policy that
the American people don't sup-
port.
What is called for, the argu-
ment continued is a revolution in
U.S. foreign policy. The Ameri-
can people should effectually de-
clare to the world, they they no
longer tolerate the present U.S.
policy of intervention and that{
the government should change to
a policy in accord with interna-
tional law.

ing equpiment which will be sent
up in a satellite.
The satellite will contain infra-
red .sensors designed to give an
idea of the extent of ice on the
lake's surface, Chandler explained.
Studies of the circulation pat-
terns in the Great Lakes are also
being made. These patterns de-
termine the distribution of micro-
organisms, fish and plants within
the lakes. They also determine
whether wastes dumped into the
lakes will be dilluted-and dispersed
or not, Chandler explained.
This is of significance to in-
dustries looking for a location at
which to build their factories.
Research on the Great Lakes
has become an area of increasing
interest. An indication of this is
the upcoming Eighth Annual Con-
ference on Great Lakes Research.
"At the first conference there
were 35 people attending, this
year we expect over 250," Chan-
dler said. This year's conference
will be an opportunity for scient-
ists to present papers on Great
Lakes research and discuss some
of the new areas which are open-
ing up in the field.
