SURPRISES GREET
STUDENT IN
VIET NAM
The first surprise for a
young Howard Payne student,
Auby Brown, serving as a Bap-
tist Student Union summer
missionary came when a friend
instructed him to take the bus
or ride a bicycle and leave the
motorized pedicabs to the hard
three months stay in the Nha
Trang area of South Viet Nam,
this college senior often heard
rumors of Viet Cong activity,
"But despite a slightly uneasy
feeling, things went along per-
fectly normal from day to day."
"The overall situation was
full of surprises while I was
there, and from what I have
heard lately, it still is confus-
ed." Working in a Baptist mis-
sion station in Nha Trang lo-
cated this student about 180
miles northeast of Saigon, in
a city near a large U.S. Army
base and an Air Force base.
This tall bespectacled native
of Lampasas majors in the
Douglas MacArthur Academy of
Freedom and will receive his
bachelor or arts in May. "After
graduation I plan to do grad-
uate work in political science."
One of his missionary duties
was teaching an English class
in the Draft Center and another
was teaching a class for young
people in the nearby village of
Thanh. "The war in Viet Nam
has confused the mission ef-
fort, as would be expected. On
the other hand our two Bap-
tist missionaries in Nha Trang
have their families with them,
and they spend most of their
time working among 80,000
people of the city. There is
plenty of work to be done."
Most Vietnamese are Budd-
ists, Auby points out. Some
have Viet Cong learnings,
while others are pro-American.
Many are interested in hearing
about Christianity. "Crowds of
up to 800 attended open air
movies of the life of Christ on*
several occasions."
Brown is marriedr to the for-
mer .Jacque Lyn Looney of San
Antonio, a January graduate
of HPC. He is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Auby L. Brown Sr. of
Lampasas.

lief, recovery, rearmament and
economic development pro-
grams abroad.
He was a delegate to the
General Assembly of the United
Nations in'1967, and the World
Health Organization Assembly

ganize the Council of Europe
and served as a delegate to the
First Consultative Assemblyy in
Strasbourg in 195jl.

with personal knowledge of
the sinister significance of what
is happening in Asia and the

Training.
The civilian guests had an
opportunity to watch aviation
officer candidates making their
initial landings in both propel-
lor and jet aircraft aboard the
Lexington, operating in the
Gulf of Mexico.
Fifty citizens chosen from
around the state of Texas were
joined by a similar delegation
from New York.
^ Garvin, along with the other
Texans, departed from the U. S.
Naval Air Station, Dallas, on
Monday morning and returned
Wednesday afternoon.
The cruise was marked by a
heavy schedule, which included
a near around-the-clock itener-
ary of lecture, exhibit, and
demonstration.
Vice Admiral Alexander S.
Heyward, the Chief of Naval
Air Training, addressed the del-
egation at a banquet on Tues-
day night. The Texans respond-
ed to the Admiral's hospitality
by presenting him a plaque
signed by Governor John Coii-
nally naming the naval air
chief an admiral in the Texas
navy. ,
The tour included every as-
pect of naval aviation training.
Besides a thorough acquaint-
ance with carrier operations,
the group was afforded a tour
of the vast Naval Aviation
Medical Institute. The Institute
is doing extensive research for
the Navy and for the National
Aeronautical and Space Admin-
istration in the fields of human
disorientation caused1 by rota-
