former POWS have described. _
"They made no attempt to make me confess, torture me or any-
thing like that," Capt. Butcher said.
"No, I hold no animosity towards my captors. A few of the ones
that spoke English would say things like, 'your wife isn't waiting for
you anymore,' but that was about the extent of it."
Butcher, a 1969 graduate of the University, was shot down in
March 1971 as he flew an unarmed - observation plane over Laos. It
was only his eleventh combat mission.
He was captured almost immediately by North Vietnamese forces
and taken to a jungle camp where he was allowed to recover from
injuries sustained when he ejected from his airplane.
Then, after six weeks in Laos, he was walked to Hanoi where he
began a two year stretch in the "Plantation" POW camps.
Butcher described morale in the camp as "very high," and said
he and his comrades amused themselves in "discussions and card
games."~
Butcher said conditions in the POW camp were bad, but added
there was no bad treatment by the guards, no attempt made to pres-
sure the men in his cell into propagandizing for the North Vietna-
mese, and no interrogations.
Butcher's comparatively good treatment , can perhaps be attri-
buted to the time period in which he was captured. Former POWs
have said that conditions in -the camps improved markedly after the
1969 Tet offensive. The POWs that were subjected to harsh treatment
were in large measure captured prior to 1968.
TUTORS NEEDED FOR PHYSICS 140
For Spring and Fall semesters
Four sections of Physics 140 will be given in the Keller Plan next fall
and one this spring.
In the Keller Plan students who don't pass a test get help from
undergraduate tutors and take a retest-until they succeed. Any good
student who took Physics 140 or equivalent can become a tutor.
Tutors get three credit hours in Physics 333. Hopefully, they also
learn useful skills that go beyond 'those of our regular courses
Also, most of our tutors find the experience worth while.
