The Vietnam War officially ended in
1975. However, more than a decade
later, the rightful place of the war in
American history is just beginning to
unfold. Says Dr. Michael McQuillen,
professor of history, "Vietnam has tru-
ly become history. Because more than
a decade hastpassed, we have been
able to reflect back on the war. Now we
can attempt to answer its questions."
The Mercy hurst History and Politica
Science Public Affairs Forum, "The
Vietnam War Reconsidered: A Reap-
1
praisal ' will try to answer such con-
troversial questions as why the United
States became involved in the
Southeast Asian conflict and why
American sentiment was opposed to
involvement. The forum, set for Thur.,
April 24 in Zurn Halt will, according to
McQuillen, "share with the audience
feelings and insights that have
developed since." t r
McQuillen is part of the Advisory
[Planning Committee which developed
the forum. Also on the committee are
Mercyhurst faculty Dr. David Cooper
(program chair), Dr. Allan Belovarac,;
Dr. Ludlow Brown, Edward Gallagher,
library director Joan Cooper, and direc-

Soldiers and Sailors Home, Mark
