Service Club Unity
Could Aid Community
Probably no other university in the nation has as many
disorganized organizations as A&M. Hometown clubs, service
organizations, professional fraternities and numerous soci
eties all contribute to this parliamentarian’s paradise.
To be sure, many of these groups render creditable
service to the University and College Station. Organizations
such as Alpha Pi Omega and the Circle K Club contribute
much toward local volunteer charity programs. There is a
tendency though for the efforts of such clubs to overlap, and,
—hoping not to further confuse matters—it might be that
greater organization is needed.
An excellent co-operative program among campus service
groups has been initiated at Eastern Michigan University at
Ypsilanti. Called the Campus Service Corps, this “domestic
Peace Corps” is relating resources of the university to the
needs of the community, proponents claim. Beginning this
year, two new services have been added to the tutorial pro
gram conceived last year.
New services include a “cultural excursion” program
which operates on Saturdays when volunteers accompany
busloads of underprivileged children to a variety of places
of interest.
Last spring 60 students of SMU provided tutorial assist
ance on a one-to-one basis, once a week, to elementary and
junior high school students. This year they are doing the
same for high school problem students.
Such an undertaking would be no small event for A&M
service organizations, but it is feasible.
Enrollment Landslide

Hits U of Tennessee
“They’ve absolutely ruined it—look how th’ laundry shrunk
my raincoat.!”
By Intercollegiate Press
Knoxville, Tenn. — Enroll
ments in the University of Ten
nessee this fall have greatly ex
ceeded all expectations, creating
“one of the most serious crises
in the University’s history,” Pres
ident Andrew D. Holt stated re
cently.
“Instead of the 12,900 that we
had anticipated eai’lier this sum
mer, we shall have approximately
14,000 students, and we are us
ing every possible emergency
measure to take care of the over
flow,” said Dr. Holt. All dorm
itories have been completely fill
ed. “To meet the emergency, we
have temporarily converted the
lounging rooms of the dormitories
into bedrooms for the students,”
Dr. Holt said.
The enrollment increase here
amounts to 2,200 students. “This
is indeed one of the most serious
.! '•
crises in the University’s history,
not only because of the increase
in enrollment but also because
it is just the beginning of the
long-anticipated post war baby
boom wave that will accumulate
each year, up through the Ph.D.
level, for the next decade,” Dr.
Holt said.
Academic emergency measures
taken include the addition of new
sections and increases in the max
imum enrollments of existing sec
tions. Many new instructors have
been employed and the teaching
loads of present faculty increas
ed. “But in some cases there
were no emergency steps that we
could take. We have not been
able to enroll all of the freshmen
in their required science labora
tory courses because there just
aren’t enough lab spaces for
them,” Dr. Holt explained.
“We have had to put the over
flow on ‘waiting lists’ to enroll in
future quarters, and this will give
these students difficulties in sche
duling other required classes,”
he added. Dr. Holt gave the
following examples of emergency
steps taken by University depart
ments:
English—The number of sec
tions of first-quarter English
increased from 79 to 95. Eleven
new instructors were added.
Mathematics — Seven new
freshman sections added. Great
difficulty experienced in find
ing qualified faculty.
History — Six freshman sec
tions added. Size of upperclass
sections increased from 15 to
35 per cent.
Romance Languages — all
classes enlarged at least 33
per cent, and some of the upper
class sections by as much as 70
per cent. The need for class
room and office space described
as “desperate.”

best of health, would be pleased
to drop out of the arena and
cancel the promise to his Argen
tine followers that “I will re
turn.”

Spanish officials indicated that
discussions between Spain and
Argentina will decide whether
Peron, a former general who rul
ed Argentina from 1946 to 1955,
will be permitted to maintain in
definitely the luxurious asylum he
has enjoyed here since July 1960.
One said Peron has been allowed
to return only temporarily, “until
a final decision on his case is
reached.”
Peron took quarters in a luxu
ry hotel in Sevilla, 250 miles
southwest of Madrid. Newsmen
were barred, but Police Chief
Neto Maestre said “Peron told
me he did not wish to make any
statement.”

DALLAS (A*) — Over the bright
picture of a growing Texas are
“many dark shadows,” Gov. John
Connally said Thursday night.
In a speech prepared for de
livery to the Dallas Chamber of
Commerce, Connally said both
business and local communities
have a major role to play in
wiping out these shadows.
“We know, for example, that
education has lagged behind our
economic potential,” the gover
nor said. He went on to list
other state problems:
“Half of our state has a
mounting problem of water sup
ply. Recreational facilities for
the people of our mushrooming
Payments
For U. N.
Negotiated
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (A>)
— On a hopeful note U. N. diplo
mats began delicate stage-by-
stage negotiations Thursday aim
ed at resolving the crisis over
peacemaking debts. The immedi
ate question was how much the
Russians would agree to pay and
under what conditions.
While the General Assembly be
gan its policy debate under a no
vote truce achieved through big
power agreement the negotiators
tackled the thorny financial and
constitutional problems involved
in the crisis.
Secretary-General U Thant, the
key figure at present, was on the
sidelines temporarily because of a
cold.
But U. S. Ambasador Adlai E.
Stevenson and other top U. S.
officials conferred with Thant’s
chief assistant, C. V. Narasim-
han, and presented the U. S. view.
The chief cause for U. S. opti
mism was belief that the Soviet
Union would make some kind of
a payment into a U. N. fund that
would be set up to relieve the
financial crisis caused by refus
al of the Soviet Union, France
and others to pay for U. N.
peacemaking costs.
metropolitan districts are al
ready inadequate. Crime and de
linquency are increasing time rec
ord of tragedy this year. Many
problems of health are as yet
unsolved. Outmoded business
practices could stifle continued
economic growth.”
“These are not insurmounta
ble problems,” Connally said.
“They have been with us in the
past, and they will be with us in
the future. But a vibrant, grow
ing state such as ours — with the
greatest potential of any state
in the union — cannot shrug them
away and expect our bounties to
come forth immediately.”
The governor said much of the
initiative for meeting education
al, water conservation, mental
health and other needs must come
from the community.
And “if we are to prevent mass
unemployment as the result of
technological change, the initia
tive must come from business as
well as from government,” he
said.
Connally expressed concern over
the 731,000 Texans over 25 with
less than fifth grade education,
calling them functional illiterates
“unable to compete successfully
in today’s society.”
Noting that a 10-year study
showed 38 per cent of Texas pri
son inmates had a fifth-grade
educatoin or less, Connally added
that functional illiterates “con
stitute a great segment of the
unemployed and underemployed.”
