Alexander said he has also seen at- tempts to forget or distort the Vietnam experience cropping up in recent high school textbooks. According to Alexander, these books either don't go into much detail about Vietnam or if they do, they don't talk about the antiwar movement. PROF. NORMAN OWEN was drafted into the Army in 1967. Owen, who now teaches history, said most of the people he went through basic training with did not want to go to Vietnam. The few who did, went not because they wanted to kill Communists, but "because you got combat pay," he said. In Owen's case, "a little bit of maneuvering, a little bit of good luck and a bad knee" kept him out of the War. Owen said few of the people he knew in the Army were "gung-ho" about the War. Instead, he and most of his fellow soldiers shared the feeling "that all of us were caught up in something that was bigger than we were." TEN YEARS later, Owen has helped organize a teach-in about a war he almost had to fight. Since he left the Army, he has seen a generation of students grow up "who don't know what the War was about. They're interested (in the Vietnam War) but it's ancient history to them." Consequently, the history depar- tment is offering a one-credit course for undergraduates participating in the teach-in called "Vietnam and America." All students interested in taking the course can pick up override forms in the history department office at 3609 Haven Hall. Barbara Fuller of the Ann Arbor In- terfaith Council for Peace will help lead Wednesday afternoon's workshop on rebuilding Vietnam. Fuller visited Vietnam for two weeks in 1876 with a group of Americans from Friendship- ment, an organization dedicated to rebuilding Vietnam. "EVERYTHING THAT I had ever read and ever feared about what Viet- nam looked like was true," Fuller said. "The railroad was all gone. Highway "We're likely to duplicate the Vietnam War experience unless we can learn the lessons that came out of that war." -Barbara Fuller, A2 Interfaith Council for Peace In the 1940's, Ho also wanted to establish friendly relations with tlte United States. "but we ignored him,"' Fuller said. Since the War, Fuller said the American people have all but forgotten about Vietnam. As a nation, the Uniteil States "has an obligation to heal thy wounds of the war under the peace treaty signed in 1973." And, if the .U.S. forgets about Vie- nam, "We're likely to duplicate the Vietnamese War experience unless we can learn the lessons that came out of that War," she warned.

One in North Vietnam was constantly pockmarked where it got hit by the bombs." Fuller said many of the bridges her group crossed were severely damaged. "Sometimes we forded rivers," she added. IN SPITE OF the devastation caused by the war, Fuller said the Vietnamese are busy rebulding their country with "their bare hands and practically nothing else." In the central part of what once was South Vietnam, this task of rebuilding will be a long one, she said. "The land was a vast wasteland because of heavy fighting," Fuller noted. "Ninety-five percent of the irrigation system was destroyed" in this region, an irrigation system vital to growing the Vietnam staple crop-rice. WHILE SOME of the destruction caused by the U.S. military, Fuller said her group was treated "very graciously. OVer and over, we were told that the Vietnamese were looking forward to reconciliation with the American people - and friendship." Fuller emphasized that the Viet- namese showed a great interest in America and its people, an interest that followed Fuller's group as it traveled around Vietnam. In fact, the late North Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh based Vietnam's declaration of independence from France on the American declaration of independence fron England, she said.

Students must sign the waiting list lly March 24. If their choice becomes available during the summer they would be contacted about reassign- ment. Students with choices which do not become available over the summer will be given priority for room freeze In the fall. Finn said students often give up their attempts to live in University housing if they lose the lottery and don't sedk other means of remaining in dorms. "In retrospect, we have never needed to have a lottery," Finn said. "But if we said to kids that everyone who wants to return can return, we would run the risk that everyone would return." Those who have been readmitted to their dorms are currently in the process of signing leases. Early next month the Housing Office will have specifics on the number of students who decided to return to residence halls and the nurO- ber of new openings.
