Hull covers another side
of Vietnam population
by Duane Leibhart
Ron Hull believes there is
more to Vietnam than body
counts and My Lai's. The
Nebraska educational television
network program manager said
U.S. television viewers have
lost the concept of the
Vietnamese people as
individuals in all the statistical
jargon they hear about
Vietnam.
Hull recently returned from
Vietnam where he filmed and
interviewed for a
N e b r aska-produced television
program. "This one-hour

Nebraska Young American's

personal care kits to distribute
to Vietnam veterans receiving
treatment through the Lincoln
Veterans Hospital.
The distribution of these
packets is part of a national
"Project Appreciation"
launched by the 70,000
member national conservative
youth group to show its
appreciation of the sacrifices
these men have made for their
country.

about the war, but about the
people," he said.
Titled "Beyond the Fury",
the non-commercial film
financed by a grant from the
Public Broadcasting System
will be shown on 212 of the
system's stations after April 1 .
His recent two-week stay in
Vietnam was his fifth trip there
for a total of 1 7 months he has
spent in that country. During
his first year in Vietnam in
1 966, he helped the
Vietnamese set up four
television stations. Now in
1971 the stations are
independent and operating
beautifully, he said.
The most popular programs
there are Cailuong traditional
Vietnamese dramas, five or six
hours long, the program
manager said. According to
Hull, 75 per cent of the
country is within reach of the
television signals now and there
are 450,000 privately owned
sets.
He said 3,000 public owned
sets have been set up in village
squares so that most
Vietnamese get a chance to
view television.
Hull and one of his
Vietnamese friends drove a
considerable distance north of
Saigon, to the coast, and to the
mountains. "We saw no signs
of anything but a peaceful
country. The area is much
more secure than when I came

here in 1966," he said.
The two spent two days in
the Mekong Delta while harvest
and rice planting were going on
simultaneously. Usually after
carrying the camera equipment
a considerable distance to an
isolated hamlet the villagers
would offer them tea or wine,
he said.
The program manager said
he loves the Vietnames people
and next to the U.S., Vietnam
is his favorite country. The
film will show the altars in the
Vietnamese people's houses
where they honor their
ancestors and the god of the
hearth. Other altars outside
honor gods of earth and sky.
' ' I didn't feel any
anti-American sentiments while
I was . there but most are
convinced it is time we left,"
Hull said. "They are certainly
tired of the war, but they are
determined to find Vietnamese
solutions to their problems,"
he said.
According to the program
manager, many American
people are more upset about
Thieu's election than the
Vietnamese are. The
government hasn't done much
for the people in the past,
causing many of the
Vietnamese people to take a
detached, if not negative
attitude toward it, he said.
Hull said the South
Vietnamese government gave
him excellent cooperation.
Although he did not interview
President Thieu himself, he
talked to three of his staff.
American ambassador
Ellsworth Bunker told him the
Vietnamese are energetic,
hard-working, ambitious and
intelligent, with the courage
and tenacity few peoples in
history have been able to
mi jter, Hull reported.
