WIFE MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER
Marriage Forum Speaker
Says No Love Without Sex
By CLOVIS McCALLISTER
Battalion Staff Writer
Dr. Sidney Hamilton of North
Texas State University told ap
proximately 100 students that if
they are wondering how to be sure
of finding- the right person to mar
ry, to forget it.
Hamilton, a psychology profes

sessions of the YMCA Marriage
Forums.
Marriage is important to society
and mans’ wife is more important
than ever before. The family is
the most stable institution today,
Hamilton said.

Congressman’s
Daughter Calls
Income Useful
CHICAGO GT 1 ) — The daughter
of Rep. George Meader, R-Mich.,
di-aws $167.54 a month on her
father’s congressional payroll
while she attends college. The
Chicago Daily News reported
Tuesday.
In a story from Washington by
William McGaffin, the Daily News
said the information had been con
firmed in a telephone interview
with the daughter, Katherine, 22,
a nursing student at the Univer
sity of Florida in Gainesville.
She said her job is to “send
out baby letters” for her father.
The story said this involves ad
dressing envelopes to new pai-ents
in the congressman’s district and
stuffing them with form letters.
THE PARENTS also received,
from Washington, a government-
financed booklet titled “Infant
Care.”
“We get the names of the new
parents out of the newspapers,”
Miss Meader told the Daily News
“The money is a big help in
getting through college,” she said.
“It takes care of the rent for my
apartment and my food.”
As a congressman, her father
receives $22,500 a year. There is
one other child in the family, a
son.
MISS MEADER has been on her
father’s payroll since she entered
the University of Florida in Sep
tember 1961, the Daily News said.
She expects to receive her bache
lor’s degree in December.
She said her father “seems to
have quite a reproductive district.
We send out between 2,000 and
3,000 baby letters a month.”
A spokesman for the U. S. Chil
dren’s Bureau, however, said
Meader gets only 200 of the baby
care books a month.
ty, companionship, pressure to do
the usual and the desire for new
experiences.” He added marriage
is a way to achieve happiness for
both mates.
“A couple begins a marriage with
infatuation and love comes as a
result of the marriage and sex.
You are more in love after five
years than you are the first and
even more in love the tenth year
than in the fifth,” Hamilton said.
THE REASON MARRIAGES
are more successful today is be
cause more people and the younger
people are getting married. The
most successful marriages of to
day are among college students,
Hamilton argued.
The sometimes marriage counse
lor said the main problems in mar
riage today stem from a lack of
comunication, sexual adjustment
and finances. Finances aren’t as
critical as they used to be because
one-third of the wives are working.
If sex masters love it is evil but
love must master sex, Hamilton
said. “Sex is common to all ani
mals but love is unique to man.
Love isn’t blind or false, but in
fatuation is, he added.
Hamilton gave the key to a hap
py marriage as the ability to see
the individuality of the mate and
change to fit into the pattern.
First Vote Due
In. 3-4 Weeks
AUSTIN—Proposed legislation to change the College’s
name to Texas A&M University was introduced in the House
this morning by Rep. David Haines of College Station.
Haines had anticipated introducing the bill Tuesday
afternoon, but a question on the name-change necessitated
additional technical corrections before it could be dropped
in the House clerk’s hopper, Haines said.
The bill, if passed by the House and the Senate, changes
A&M’s name to “Texas A&M University,” and the College
System to the “Texas A&M University College System.”
Haines, a 1951 graduate of A&M, said the technical
change was to remove references in the bill to the Board of
Directors. He explained : 4
“A&M was created by the
constitution, while the A&M
System was created by statute.
There has been some question
on this, but we can get around any
objections by deleting anything to
do with the Board of Directors.
“The only parts that had to be
I'evised were the title, section four
and section five.”
Haines said the bill would prob
ably be assigned a number Thurs
day and then go to the House state
affairs committee.
“It may be three of four weeks
before the bill comes to a vote in
the House,” he said.
Before the bill is brought to the
floor, a committee hearing will
have to be scheduled. Haines said
that the hearings will probably be
short, lasting only 15 or 20 minutes.
Then after passing the House,
the legislation must go to the Sen
ate, where a similar procedure of
committtee hearing and readings
will be followed, he said.
Haines has predicted that the bill
will have no trouble passing the
House.
In the Senate, Bryan’s W. T.
(Bill) Moore, ’40, said that “there
had been too much talking on both
sides. I haven’t given the bill
much thought in the last few days.”
he said.
Mooi'e has called the proposed
name a mistake and is a backer of
the name “Texas State University”
for A&M.
Sen. A. R. Schwartz, another
A&M graduate, said that he was
willing to actively support the bill
in the Senate. “I am satisfied with
the name change as it has been
requested. I want to do what A&M
wants to do.
Schwartz, who has incurred the
wrath of many senators for attack
ing closed sessions on confirming-
appointments, said he thought that
if A&M’s name was changed to
Texas A&M University he believed
Texas Tech would actively press
for the name Texas State Univer
sity.
House Hikes
Auto Liability
Insurance Rate
AUSTIN (A 3 ) — House members
approved Tuesday an estimated
$1 million dollar increase in auto
mobile liability insurance pre
miums for Texans.
The House approved 100-47 and
sent to the Senate a bill raising
requirements for financial re
sponsibility in case of auto acci
dents to $10,000 for death or injury
to one person, $20,000, $20,000 for
two persons and $5,000 for prop
erty damage.
Present requirements are $5,000,
$10,000 and $5,000. A person may
fulfill the requmements by buying
liability insurance, as 65 per cent
of Texas drivers’ do, or guarantee
payment of equal amounts by post
ing a personal bond.
“There would be an estimated
$14 million increase to taxpayers
in insui’ance premiums, said Rep.
James Gotten, Weatherford, in
protesting that the increased re
quirements would make the state
insurance board hike rates about
25 per cent. “This is a special
interest bill for the insurance
companies.”
“This is not a special interest
bill,” argued Rep. Bob Fairchild
Center, sponsor of the measure.
“I can go back home and tell my
people that I voted to stiffen the
motor vehicle safety responsibili
ty act.”
The vote Tuesday ended two
days of arguments over the meas
ure. Fairchild and other support
ers said the bill is needed to pro
tect innocent drivers and help
curb the huge economic loss from
accidents. An amendment to the
bill, not in the present law, would
make uninsured drivers post a
minimum $250 deposit if involved
in an accident.

Texas Tech Editorial Urges
Athletic Integration In SWC
Texas Tech’s student newspaper,
The Daily Toreador, in a page-one
editorial has called for athletic
integration of the Southwest Con
ference’s newest member school.
The editorial, signed by Torea
dor editor Charles Richards, call
ed athletic integration “something
that will be of lasting benefit to
the conference. The Negro has
shown in other schools he is capa
ble of being a leader in athletics
as well as in the classroom. We
like to think of the Southwest
Conference as an athletic power
house—and it does pull away its
share of wins — but a glance
at the top ten of any sport shows
the SWC behind the Big Ten and
the Big Eight, among others.”
The Toreador called athletic in
tegration of the conference “only
two or three years away,” and
urged action by Tech before the
University of Texas decides to
make a similar move.
The editorial continued:
“If Texas Tech does not make
the first move, it probably will
be made by Texas, which ah'eady
has the jump in the athletic re
cruiting race. Red Raider foot
ball is in one of its worst drouths.
Even though the next few grid sea
sons are being billed as the best
in a decade, can we afford to give
Texas an advantage as far as
Negro athletes are concerned ?
“We are tired of the cry that
Texas Tech is the ‘baby’ of the
conference and should not be the
one to initiate action. We feel
Tech is on a par with any school
in the conference. If we are in
a position to do something for the
good of the conference, let’s not
stay in the background.”

THE INTER-COUNCIL, which
consists of representatives from
each school council, has arranged
separate programs for junior col
lege students and high school stu
dents.
The junior college conclave will
be held the afternoon of March 15,
while the high school students
gather on March 16.
Tentatively, the junior college
students will meet with a dean’s
representative of their respective
schools for tours and talks. A
general assembly is planned for
each school.
REGISTRATION FOR High
School Career Day will begin at 1
p.m. March 15 in the MSC and
will end at 9 a.m. the next day.
High School Day will begin with
a review of the Corps of Cadets.
The students will he welcomed by
President Earl Rudder in a gen

will move to their respective
schools and departments for the
rest of the morning’s activities.
The visitoi-s will eat lunch in

afternoon free for tours.
High School Career Day is held
each year to acquaint college pros
pects with the campus and facili
ties, and to promote a general
interest in higher education among
high school seniors.
