Giardina recently queried the nationally known publisher, Ben nett Cerf, president of Random House, Inc., in New York City. Cerf answered that “Your Great Adventure Series strikes me as an important step in the right direc tion. I hope you will be so suc cessful that it not only will be con tinued indefinitely at Texas A&M, but will be copied by other lead ing universities all over the coun try.” The council president said the book to be discussed will be “Elmer Gantry,” a novel by Sinclair Lewis. He said the book was chosen be cause of the author’s fame and the novel’s prominent niche in Ameri can literature. He said students may register for the series on brochures that will be distributed in the dormi tories. Hubert said the program is en tirely voluntary and is open to all A&M students. When students sign up for the series, however, they should read the book and be prepared to participate in the dis cussions. If the program is successful, it will be extended to future semes ters, with one book being read and discussed per semester, tlubert said. DOING IT THE HARD WAY M.

The grant will be used by the Data Processing Center of the Tex as Engineering Experiment Sta tion to support “the expansion of a computing Center,” under the direction of Fred Benson, Dean of Engineering. The funds will help defray the cost of the IBM 709 data process ing system which was installed in January in the Data Processing Center, Robert L. Smith Jr., Head of the center said today. The addition of the 709 brings to A&M one of the largest data processing facilities available on any campus. “This facility,” Smith says, “is used primarily as a teaching fa cility where young men of Texas can be trained to handle the large complex electronic data process ing machines currently being in stalled by the larger industries of the state. The secondary use of the Data Processing Center is the use of the computer to solve various prob lems which arise on research pro jects on campus and to assist in dustry in getting started in the data processing field and the so- mainly Democrats, contended it is genuinely essential. Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois said the Presi dent’s outline “involves a terrific amount of money.” Dirksen advo cated instead his four-year, $2-bil- lion program limited to school con struction, with local school districts putting up half the money on a matching basis. Senate Democrafic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana noted the Senate last year passed “an even stronger bill” and expressed hope for similar action this year. The 1960 Senate measure died in the House Rules Committee. Kennedy recommended offering federal funds not only for con struction hut also for teachers’ salaries, a proposal that has drawn fire in the past and marked one of his campaign disputes with former Vice President Richard M.

Anticipating opposition, Kennedy said: “Education must remain a matter of state and local control and higher education a matter of individual choice.” Mansfield called attention to that statement in Ken nedy’s message to Congress. Under the administration pro gram, the states would decide how to allot federal funds between con struction and salaries. If they wished, the states could allot none for salaries. Kennedy emphasized that no money would flow from Washing ton into the building or payroll of church schools. He said this is “in accordance with the clear prohi bition of the Constitution.”' UTTIE APS iiP For The Best Banquet Service Anywhere Plan Your Banquet At THE TRIANGLE RESTAURANT FOR CHOICE DATES PLAN NOW DIAL TA 2-1352 Triangle Restaurant 3606 S.
