WHY START THE
COLLEGE MASTER NOW?
Why the College Master Program?—
-—This is an era of specialization. Fidelity Union
is the national leader in serving the needs of
college men. This specialization results in econ
omy of operation and savings that are passed on
to the policyholder.
Why NOW?—
—Life insurance premiums increase approximately
4% to 6% each year that you wait. The College
Master allows you to pin down today’s age with
complete coverage and defer the first year’s pre
mium deposit up to five full years.

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.
