Gate College Station Aggie Returns For Degree After Viet Duty By DANI PRESSWOOD At least one Aggie doesn’t have to worry about being drafted for Viet Nam duty. Maj. John R. Vilas, class of 1953, returned to A&M to work on his master’s degree this year after 11 Vi months as an army advisor in an area 45 miles noth- west of Saigon. Studying industrial education here, Vilas doesn’t miss the war- torn country. “I don’t think anybody really desires to return to Viet Nam,” he said. One of a team of five Ameri cans in the subsector, Vilas ad vised the Vietnamese on different phases of their operations, but not without certain difficulty. “Advising did pose problems,” he said, “but through patience, common sense and the use of discretion they were overcome.” The primary barrier, he said, was conveying the idea that he was there “to help the people to help themselves.” “When they come to you and ask questions then this is the point where you can start ad vising,” he explained. “This took us about a month. “It wasn’t something that hap pened overnight, it happened gradually.” Vilas, who was working with Col. D. L. Baker here prior to his Vietnamese stint, still is uncer tain as to what qualified him for the advisory role. “I had 32 days notice from the time I got the telegram until I was standing in Viet Nam,” he remarked. Between his graduation from A&M and the Viet Nam duty, Vilas served three and one-half years in Germany and was sta tioned in the United States bases at Detroit, Fort Bliss and Fort Sill. The 34-year-old major, back for six months, resides at 2007 Vinewood Dr. in Bryan with his wife and son John, 9.
