Kemp said couples should se cure premartial counseling and have an understanding not to use religion as a scapegoat if they are contemplating an interfaith mar riage. He said they should keep the communication line open and should not pretend not to have a problem if there is one present. The speaker said couples should try to develop family rituals and functions which the whole family could share. He added that couples should remember that all mar riages depend on love. KEMP SAID COUPLES should have a longer courtship if they are of different faiths in order to work out the problems. He added that couples should go into the marriage with their eyes open and face the facts. He said they should have a full and frank dis cussion of the duties of each. Couples should determine the stand that will be taken before marriage and both should agree to the stand to prevent disagreement later. • THE SPEAKER SAID the prob lems met in married life which em brace religion can be answered but one must remember that the way in which the problems are faced can affect the answer. The answers depend on the emotional maturity of the individual couple and the degree of understanding. m ™§r VISIONS OF DRUMSTICKS DANCE THROUGH THEIR HEADS . young livestock show visitors study turkey during annual events STM A Cadets To Cost State Less Per Man Dodson Calls Support Per Cadet No More Than Any Other Student By GERRY BROWN Battalion Associate Editor Texas Maritime Academy cadets would cost the state less than if they were ordinary students in any state institu tion of higher learning, Capt. Bennett M. Dodson, superinten dent of the TMA, told The Battalion Tuesday. The cost to the state to support one college student for nine months is about $900, or $100 a month, he said. During the 1964-65 school year at Galveston, there will be 100 stu dents undergoing an eleven-month course of instruction under present plans. Total funds asked for that year is $109,800, a rate of less than $100 a month for each student. THE KEY TO the situation is the fact that the federal government is contributing to the Maritime Academy pro- END OF PROJECTS Annual Youth Livestock Show Closes With Auction Sale The seventh annual Bryan-Col- lege Station Chamber of Commerce two-day-long Youth Livestock Show closed Tuesday with an auc tion sale at the A&M Animal Husbandry Pavilion.

Seniors are asked to make a pledge in the questionnaire. As pledges are received, the pledger’s name will be put on the list which will entitle him to a new Directory of Former Students every four years. This will enable his class agent to send him two or three news letters each year; and provide the association with his new address, which will be an aid in contract ing him about class reunions, foot ball pre-game planning meetings and other activities. Blaschke asked students to com plete and return the questionnaire before April 15.

Military Walk,, Ross Street To Be Temporarily Closed Portions of Military Walk and Ross Street will be blocked to parking while an underground power line is laved, an nounced the Campus Security Office Monday. Some parts of Military Walk should be open for parking and through traffic at all times.

These displaced persons are requested by Fred Hickman, Campus Security Chief, to respect reserved and visitors’ parking spaces. gram, Dodson said. The gov ernment has promised to match $75,000 per year of state funds in addition to as signing a $10 million ship to the academy. Dodson pointed out that for 1963-64, the cost will be more while getting the school started on a lesser number of students, the cost per student at the TMA to exceed the cost for other A&M students who study two regular semesters and a summer session. THE VALUE OF a maritime academy to the state of Texas and the Gulf Coast shipping industry was stressed by Dodson as being important in the future efforts to link Texas with world markets. With respect to the state ap propriation of funds for TMA, Dodson reiterated, ‘I feel very con fident that we will have no trou ble getting this.” Rotarians Want Local Students For Fellowship The Bryan-College Station Ro tary Club is seeking local students to compete for a Rotary Founda tion Fellowship, Dr. Jack D.

Senate Okays Loan Shark Bill Tuesday AUSTIN — The Texas Sen ate passed an anti-loan shark bill Tuesday. The action, which reversed the Senate’s stand of a year ago, came after some of the most heated de bate of this session on 35 proposed amendments. Final passage was on voice vote. It was the Senate which killed the loan shark bill by just two votes in the waning minutes of the January, 1961 special session after the measure won House ap proval. As the bill, sponsored by Sen. Bruce Reagan of Corpus Christ!, went to the House it provided for regulation of loans up to $1,500 and a set of sliding interest rates. THE LOWEST rate, on a $1,500 loan, would be 18 per cent annual ly. The highest rate, on loans of $100 and less, would be $1 per $5 cash advance. The major change senators made in floor debate was slicing the ceiling on regulated loans from $3,006 to $1,500. Reagan told the Senate as de bate began: ‘I thank we have a good hill here-one which will go a long w*ay toward solving the problem and protecting the people of Texas.” Sen. Frank Owen, a major op ponent of the bill, said: “We have cured the loan shark evil in this bill, but we’ve done it by legalizing their action.

Foreign Aid Head Approves Criticism Of Own Agency WASHINGTON UP) — The man who runs U.S. foreign aid gave a ringing endorsement Tuesday to the committee that criticized it. And, following the line of the Clay committee’s recommenda tions, Administrator David Bell of the Agency for International De velopment predicted the end of U. S. economic aid to Greece, Is rael and Nationalist China in three to four years; and to Libya, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela after that. As he spoke, further evidence mounted that the sting of the com mittee’s report has taken its first effects. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, D- Minn., said that President Ken nedy, in his foreign aid message to Congress next week, may sug gest a cut in,the $4.9 billion he asked for foreign aid in his budget message last January. Bell gave his endorsement of the Clay committee in a talk to the Magazine Publishers Associa tion. The committee, headed by retired Gen. Lucius D. Clay, made public its report to Kennedy last Saturday.
