Dean Vivian Tells of Worldwide Travels
by Carolyn McCoy
The military situation of the world—in a nutshell.
That was the picture Faculty club members got yesterday from the man “just back from practically everywhere,” Robert E. Vi-j vian, dean of the School of Engineering.
“Thailand—land of cobras and rivers—is the one bright spot in I Asia for democracy,” Dean Vivian said.
Dr. Vivian based his observations on his three-month trip to j the Orient, where he worked as a

Petitions are available today and tomorrow in 215 SU.
Thailand’s geographical position is of extreme importance to the West beacuse of its closeness to the Malayan struggle, he declared.
He mentioned guerilla warfare between French and Chinese Communists in Indo-China and British and Communists in Burma, and said that Thailand has been able to maintain its independence, but only by being strong militarily and economically.
Mutual Security Agency has set up personnel training and economic and industrial expansion as part of a program to aid Thailand, Dr. Vivian said.
In Bangkok, the dean found a more friendly reception to Americans than any place he knew in Asia.
“Here there is no abject poverty on which the Communists can feed,” he said. His job in the Orient was that of advising Thai-

tioned that Chiang Kai-Shek has brought to the island well-fed and well-dressed soldiers.
The Chinese National Government, he said, is doing a good job now. They had a bad governor at first but Chiang beheaded him.
“There are one-half million troops in Formosa—and they are good troops,” Dr. Vivian said.
He would not answer a question from the floor, “How soon can they do anything against Red China.”
Human life, he said, is cheap as ! it is everywhere in the Orient, j While inspecting the assembly j line of a grenade factory, he noticed that many of the grenades | dropped on the floor.
Kills Workers A week before, he was told, one landed on the pin and killed several workers.
Dr. Vivian last year went to Europe for the M.S.A. and visited the Orient during Christmas. Now, after his three-month 30,-arms 000 mile journey, the dean will continue his work on rubber technology here at SC.
Seventeen police and juvenile officers will be graduated at the Miramar hotel tomorrow night at 8 by the SC Delinquency Control institute after 12 weeks of specialized training.
