Lincoln Churches Join
FSNCC Clothing Drive
The United Churches of Lin
coln, representing 55 Lincoln
churches, have joined the
Friends of the Students Non
violent Coordinating Commit
tee's (SNCC) clothing drive.
Gene Pokorny said tbe
group had pledged to help in
the drive to collect used cloth
ing for impoverished Negroes
in Mississippi's Delta region
in the northwest area of the
state.
The clothing drive was
launched last week. Friends
of SNCC plan to collect a
quanity of good, used cloth
ing to send to Mississippi's
Delta Ministry. This organiza
tion, which is heavily invol
ved in Civil Rights work,
would distribute the clothing
to the Negroes in the area.
Many of these people are
now living in a "tent city"
near Greenville, Miss., where
they moved after losing their
jobs because of labor strikes
or because they registered to
vote.
Marsh Thornton is spear
heading tbe drive on campus.
Pokorny said the Wesley
Foundation and the U n i t e d
Christian Campus Fellowship
basements are being used as
depositories for the drive and
that clothing could be turned
in at either of these places or
to any Friends of SNCC mem
ber. He said that "better than
50 per cent" of the living units
on campus have pledged to
aid the drive. Tish Voichan

Trask Explains Background
SuiTounding Viet Nam War
By Nancy Henrickson
Junior Staff Writer
A background of the war in
Viet Nam from World War II
to the present was explained
by Dr. David Trask as he in
troduced a forum discussion
Tuesday on Southeast Asia.
Trask, associate professor
of history, was speaking at
the first in a series of forums
on Southeast Asia, in the Ne
braska Union. The discussion
forum will continue next Tues
day at 4:30 in the Nebraska
union.
World War II left the world
with two great powers, Trask
said, and for the six to eight
years following the war, the
task of the United States was
checking the aggressive ac
tivities of the Soviet Union.
Challenge
The challenge came in Eur
ope but the struggle was over
in 1953 when it was recognized
that the Soviet Union had
general influence in the areas
its armies had dominated dur
ing the war, he said. The
United States' advantage
came from its secret of
atomic weaponry, he stated.
"The United States has al
ways been markedly stronger
than the Sovtet Union from
the military view," Trask
explained.
Another problem has been
the emergence of new snwr.
eign countries in former col
onial parts of the world Asia,
Africa and Latin America, he
said. He explained that many
of the problems in the world
have been a cumulative effect
of two great world wars.
Viet Nam Problem
One of these, Viet Nam,
was divided when the war
was over and the French at
tempted to return, he con
tinued. The moderate senti
ment centered in the South
and hte radical sentiment in
the North, he said.
The temporary divisions of
Viet Nam made in 1954 have
been made semi-permanent
by an effectual basis, be ex
plained. Trask said the United Staets
tended to support the unpop
ular leadershiD which had
been trained by the French
and was a continuation of
French exploitation.
He noted that the popular
party in the North, headed by
Ho Chi Minn, has never re
ceived the aid and comfort
from China that the United

States has extended to t h e
South.
Viet Cong
As a result of a new civil
war in South Viet Nam, rev
olutionaries coalesced into the
Viet Cong, he said. When this
happened, the U.S. escalated
assistance to the South Viet
Nam, Saigon regime and the
Viet Cong sought outside as
sistance from North Viet
Nam, China and Russia, he
said.
"Never has the assistance
to the Viet Cong compared to
the assistance given by the
United States to the Saigon
regime," Trask stated.
The Viet Cong regime is
more popular than the Saigon
regime and is more rep
resentative of the desires of
the people, he said.
Debate Comitment
We are now in the midst of
a debate of whether our com
mitment in Viet Nam is a
sound one, Trask said.
The likelihood of negotiation
has declined because nego
tiations are out for the Viet
Cong except on their terms,
he noted.
The only countries which
support the U.S. in Viet Nam
are the ones who have to, he
said.
When American troops
sweep into an area, the Viet
Cong leave and all that re
sults is destroyed crops, he
said. The Viet Cong return
when the U.S. troops leave
and no territory has been
gained, he said.
By bombing, noncombatant
people in South Viet Nam are
killed, he said. For these
reasons, the Viet Cong are
popular in the countryside.
Trask said that it is very
hard for a country with dem
ocratic desires to establish a
democratic basis.
We are not fighting for
democracy, a slow and dif
ficult movement, in Viet
Nam, he said.
Need Strong Government
There is going to have to be
a strong, authoritarian gov
ernment to cope with internal
and external challenges, he
said. He added that a social
istic communistic government
is a quicker and better way
to achieve economic develop
ment. "We have to understand
that what is good for us may
not be good for everyone," he
explained.
That the U.S. goes to war
whenever one strong power

was cited as a reason for U.S.
presence in Southeast Asia.
The Chinese reporesent a
threat of potential power but
they do not now have effect
ual power to commit agres
sion, Trask said. He explained
that they only lend a small
amount of assistance to rev
olutionaries. The U.S. ought to pursue
policies which will prohibit the
development of revolution
aries to whom the Chinese
lend aid, he said.
Mock U.N.
TeamForm
Available
Application forms are now
available for participation in
the Nebraska Wesleyan Mock
United Nations to be held
April 15-16, according to Bill
Hansmire, chairman of the
ASUN government affairs
committee.
"The University has places
for two teams of five people
each," he said, "and regis
tration fees have already
been paid."
He explained that members
of a team represent a coun
try. They will discuss and de
bate issues which the "coun
tries" prepare beforehand in
the same manner of a Unit
ed Nations debate.
"The rules and procedures
for the meeting are like those
of the real U.N," he added.
"It will take a little prepara
tion but participants can
really increase their aware
ness of international affairs."
Malaysia and Nationalist
China will be the countries
represented by the University
delegation.
Hansmire explained that no
"experience was required to
try out for the University del
egation "just interest," he
said.
Applications are available
in the ASUN office in the Ne
braska Union and must be re
turned by 5 p.m. Thursday.
Interviews will be held Thurs
day night.
