  • Page 8 THE WESTERN OAROLINIAN Thursday, October 19.1967 American Students Confer With NLF Editor's Note: Ray Mungo, former editor of the Boston University News, participated in a meeting of a group of A- merlcans. with North Vietnamese and members of the National Liberation Front (often called the Viet Cong). This is the first of two articles reporting on that meeting. By RAY MUNGO Collegiate Press Service BRATISLAVA, Czechoslovakia (CPS) — "Lyndon Johnson will have a nightmare when he hears about this meeting," said Tom Hayden to 40 Americans and an equal number of North Vietnamese and members of the National Liberation Front (NLF). "He will have a nightmare because he has sent 500,000 men to your land to fight the Vietcong," added Hayden, a former leader of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). "We will tell him he'd better leave some men at home. Because, like Spartacus, whose fellow slaves In Rome protected his hiding-place by each claiming to be Spartacus himself, I am the Vietcong. We are everywhere! We are all the Vietcong!" And on that note, the first major meeting between American delegation, led by Dave Dellinger, editor of Liberation magazine - which included blacks, community organizers, American Friends, artists, clergymen, and full-time peace movement workers - was moved and at times Incredulous at the Feedback . . . From page 3 away, that they wore leaving us without male companionship. Freshmen gentlemen, by the mercy of their understand- ing Senior brothers, may go home as often as they desire to do so. We marvel at the fact that Senior men f?el like On Aug. 2o, 1920, the United States Secretary of State proclaimed equal suffrage to women by the nineteenth amend meat to the Constitution of the United States, Here, at Western Carolina University, in 1937, women are striving, in effect, to deem the nineteenth amend- ment null and void It would seem that women at Western Carolina University would stand together in an effort to have the same rights as men. insofar is it is ethical. Contrary to this supposition, women are making every effort to talis away the equal rights of Freshmen members of their same sex, We feel we have presented food for thought, and that we deserve answers to the questions posed above. Women's House, we urge you to give reply in the Western Carolinian. We are sure that the entire campus eagerly awaits your response to our letter, and we hope the reasons for some regulations placed upon Freshmen girls prove to be more justifiable than they now seem. Vietnamese morale and willingness to resist in face of monstrous military force. The Vietnamese, for their part, recognize the relative smallness of the anti-war movement but foresee its growth as the ultimate solution to U. S. intervention in their affairs. A wizened sixtyish Vietnamese woman (who kept asking "when the women will all get together") grinned broadly, pointing to her SDS badge. Those of us who could speak in French, but the Vietnamese also brought six excellent interpreters, and the Czech Peace Committee added two more. Time and again the Vietnamese overcame American embarrassment at the apparent impotence of the conference to affect U.S. policy by insisting they were talking to the real people of America—the blacks, the community organizers, the students, the poor. These A- mericans, our war torn friends said, will some day lead their people in peace and brotherhood with all the world They said they knew the struggle may be long, but the Vietnamese will wait and watch—they have wait- ed thousands of years already— and we must be strong and return the good fight. One Vietnamese girl had literally 200 tiny wounds from A- merican fragmentation bombs which exploded on her elementary school while she was teaching a class. Another teacher died from a similar bombing, her 26-year-old body sheltering one of her students. Much singing and dancing went on nonetheless, for the Vietnamese are a cultured people, proud of their arts. A North Vietnamese friend told me on our return from La Traviata at the Bratislava Opera House that opera goes on in Hanoi still, as well as dance. Astounded, I asked If the poets and writers continue to publish. "Oh, yes," he laughed, "but when the bombs fall their writing tends to become a little-- shall we say«insipid?" Hysterical laughter all around. The Dom Rekreachle ROH, our hotel, Is normally a refuge for trade-unionists and overlooks the Danube; beer and wine here were plentiful and superb. The Vietnamese and Americans alike were apologetic for indulging in such unaccustomed luxury. The former, convinced that Americans "dress very well," bought expensive suits and raincoats In Europe, were surprised that we wore dungaree jackets and tattered sandals and complimented our "humility as well as courage." Despite surface similarities, however, the Americans differ- ed from their Vietnamese brothers most prominently In the extent to which their Internal squabbles persisted and long, closed meetings were necessary. On the final day of the conference, Sol Stern of Ramparts heatedly refused to sign a statement which all but two others thought was relatively mild, explaining that it would implicate him If he didn't sign It and insisted one veto should cancel the statement. It did, and a statement ultimately went out over the signatures of Dellinger, Hayden, and Nick Egel- son, the organizers of the conference. At the end, 10 Americans were selected to go to Hanoi, but others may follow later. (The reasons for their selection were not made public.) Rightfully proud of their strength under duress, the Vietnamese were anxious that their new friends see their homeland for themselves. They understand frustration, had no difficulty encompassing the frustrations that Americans feel at so simple a task as ending the war and attempted to comfort us. We were at an understandable loss to offer them tangible comfort, but Ross Flanagan of the Quaker Action Group persevered with small packages of medical supplies which were seized by Koyal Canadian Mounted Police last month as they were being brought into Canada for shipment to Hanoi. Considering the difficult political tasks ahead, though, some comforts seemed justifiable, and so both delegations joined in singing "We Shall Overcome" with locked arms—the first time in years that a chorus of "We shall brothers be" has been sung without embarrassment—and we joined them in a snake-dance version of the Unity Song.
