I've seen the devil of violence and the devil of greed and the devil of hot desire; but, by all the stars! These were strong, lusty, red-eyed devils that swayed and drove men — men, I tell you. But as I stood on that hillside, I foresaw that in the blinding sunshine of that land, I would become acquainted with a flabby, pretending w&ik-eyed devil of a rapacious and pitikss folly. — Joseph Conrad, from Heart of Darkness There is a common language among survivors. Those who face disasters, both natural and man-made, and live to see another day often suffer the brutal guih specific to survivors.

'Why am I alive?' 'Why me and not others? Why was my life spared while other people are dead?' For survivors the nightmare does not end with the arrival of the Red Cross or the rescue team.
Indeed, for survivors the nightmare may be just beginning. Many suffer frcnn Post-Traianatic Stress Disorder, an amalgam of symptoms including nightmares, rages, panics, numbed feelings, flashbacks and guilt at having survived at all. As a nation, we are usually considerate of survivors. The 53 people held hostage at the American Embassy in Iran, the survivors of the Air Florida crash in Washington, D.C., the people who walked away from the recent shootings at a southern Califcn-nia McDondd's— these survivors received our special compassion. Counseling services were offered to the survivors and members of their families, special programs were developed to deal with PTSD, and in the case of the 53 hostages, much effort and money was put into easing tittir re-entry into American sodety. There is one group of survives to whom few hands were extended in solidarity and support — the veterans of the Vietnam War. These men and women suffer from P'l SD in the same way an earthquake or Hood victim suffers, but no one was there to wrap a warm blanket around their shoulders and hand them a cup of hot soup.
No one wanted to talk about the war and its aftermath. Everyone wanted to fcnrget about the war, but more than the war was lost in our national amnesia. We also forgot the veteran. Got in a little hometown jam so they put a rifle in my hand Sent me off to a foreign land to go and kill the yellow man. — Bruce Springsteen, Born in the U.S.A.
Hugh Harrell listens more than he talks and when he does speak his words are slow and deliberate. He rubs his right leg a lot after he's been sitting for a while. It's the only leg he has left. Harrell grew up around Tallahassee and was drafted into the army in 1970. He went to Da Nang as an officer with the 23rd Infantry. One week before he was due to come home he volunteered to go on a mission. 'I didn't have to go because I only had one week left,' he said.
'But I felt like 1 had made some dedsions as an officer that led to men dying and here I was still alive. '1 think I volunteered to go because I wanted to die.'
Harrell didn't die on that mission, but he did lose his left leg. He spent the next year in hospitals, recuperating and learning to walk with an artificial leg. '1 got the finest medical care possible but they didn't teach me how to fit in,' he said. 'I was doing very well, physically, and that's all anyone saw. Everyone would say, 'You're doing great.' ' 'But I was completely torn up inside and there was no one I could talk to about it.
I tried to go back to school (at FSU) but I couldn't do it. I was just on the run.'
Harrell went to Panama City where he became a charter boat captain. He drank a lot, married and got divorced. He never told anyone what it had been hke in Vietnam, what he saw, what he did. He kept it inside for 13 years. Come back home to the refinery Hiring man says 'son if it was up to me' Went down to see my V.A. Man He said 'son don't you understand now' They're no longer stranded in foreign jungles, but veterans of the Vietnam war still feel the effects of the war that for some of them, never ended. WFSU-TV airs a documentary about them— The War Within.— tonight at 9.
TV looks at 'The War Within' Tnni to VETS, page 5 BY CLARE RAULERSON FLAMBEAU STAFF WRITER / am not a criminal but a troubled and wrecked man. Like many other vets / know what Vietnam did tome. Critical wounds do not always pierce the skin, but enter into the hearts and minds and dreams of those that are only begging for help so badly needed. —Statement of Wayne Robert Felde, as he requested the death penalty for kUta^ a Shreveport, LA policeman. Take a guileless young man, nineteen years old, just a boy. Train him to be a mankiller, as pitiless as a sYaak.
Send him to a foreign land where the air is as heavy as wet satin and the jungle a living hell rife with assassins. Leave him there for a year until he begins to kill his own officers out of frustration and a wise anger. Then bring him home to his family and friends, safe and snug in their beds while he was away losing his innocence and his buddies and, all too often, his sanity. In World War II they called it 'shell shock.'
Now, they have new-fangled, burcaucratized name for it— Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder— but the song's the same. Survivor's guilt. Men who went to war, saw their buddies blown to bits and then took their own awful revenge for those deaths. These men came home with their minds full of their own mortality. They saw first- hand what most of us never know; the face of death, grinning and waiting, just a hair's breath away. They didn't come home to banners and parades and kisses on the dock, the way the men came home in World War I and II.
They didn't even come home as a unit. The men returned from Vietnam one at a time, alone, unfit for life or love, afraid to talk about what they knew. The War Within is the story of sue of these men, members of a special program at a mental hospital in Menlo Park, California.

Television A from page 1 Vietnam veterans serve 90 men at the Menlo Park Center and there are two similar programs in the country— a total of less than 300 beds to serve the estimated 800,000 Vietnam- era sufferers of PTSD.
The men in The War Within tell harrowing stories. One man remembers a child whose skin was cooked by napalm, 'like a roast.' Another man dreams about driving a jeep over the bodies of womm and childroi. One man, a medic, tells about killing a buddy who was wounded in the gut by phosphorus and was making too much noise. They were on night patrol in a swamp and the Viet Cong were all around them.
Unable to follow his commander's officers to shoot his friend, the medic injected him with a double dose of morphine and let him slip beneath the surface of a pool of water, Could any of us live with memories like these? Of the 90 men in the Menlo Park program, 34 had attempted suicide after returning home from the war.
Thirty-one of the men had been in jail and five had been in prison. One man, convicted of blowing up a house, stood less than 50 feet away while the bomb went off. Another man in the program, convicted of robbing banks, executed his robberies with no apparent disguise, in full view of the bank cameras. 'I was looking to get blown away,' he said. More than a decade after the Vietnam War ended, these men are finally getting some help. But there are countless others who are still suffering.
More than 600 Vietnam veterans live on the 20,000 square mile Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, where the temperature often falls to 30. below zero. They are afraid to be around other people, afraid of what they might do. Watch The War Within.

You should now know that, despite UFF's opposition to a mailed ballot, FAC was successful in persuading the Public Employees Relations Commission that this was the only fair way to conduct on election, since FAC believes that everyone should hove equal access to the ballot.
FAC Is committed to the Idea that o professional organization should derive Its authority from participation by all the members of the unit. We support FAC because of Its affiliation with two superbr notional organizations. The AAUP brings ttie benefit of long experience with such vital principles as academic freedom, tenure, peer review and due process— essential elements in a quality university. A leader in collective bargaining at the college and university level brings the vigorous professional support needed to develop the strength to deal on an equal footing with the administration and the legislature. Together they represent over 125,000 university and college professionals. Since changing its affiliation to the NEA, UFF has gotten for us salary raises well below the nationoi average, in contrast, when AFT was the bargaining agent between 1977 and 1981 salary Inaeoses were above notional overages i.e.
