It is Journalism 466, Techni ques of Mass Communications, said Delbert McGuire, head of the Department of Journalism. It will meet once a week, from 7 to 9:30 p.m. every Thursday in | Nagle Hall 6. “The main value of the course,” McGuire said, “is that it will give students an understanding of techniques of communications re search and of current problems in journalism.;” It is a senior-level, three credit I hour course which is available for graduate credit, he said. It fits an undergraduate program or can be used in many of the (graduate programs available at A&M. “Persons who want to go be yond a bachelor’s program or even beyond a master’s program in the communications field will find that most graduate depart ments in journalism or commun- |ications require their students to design research problems righf from the beginning,” he added. 'This class will help such in dividuals but is not limited to persons with those goals.” The course will not require any prior knowledge of statistical methods, he said. Further in formation about the class can be obtained from McGuire in his department office or by calling VI 6-6114. McGuire will teach the class. He returned Jan. 29 from a year’s advanced study at the University of Iowa. Last day for registration for spring semester courses at A&M is Saturday. ’olitical Downpour loods Legislators AUSTIN L? 5 ) — Austin got .76 f an inch of rain Thursday - but he Texas House of Representatives aught two inches in a pail. The ornate roof of the 76-year- dd Capitol sprung a leak during he night and an old grey bucket v£s hauled into the House chamber o catch the waterfall. Lawmakers stumbled good - na- uredly around the bucket, which ooked decidedly out of place on the plush gold-colored carpet. Texas Legislature Adopts Redistricting Resolution; Wants Constitution Change AUSTIN UP) — The Texas Leg islature went on record Thursday as asking Congress to call a con stitutional convention intended to temper the Supreme Court’s edict that population is the only guide for apportioning state legislatures. The House adopted 112-33 a resolution which won unanimous Senate approval Tuesday. In adopting the measure, the legislature joined Arizona, Arkan sas, Idaho, Oklahoma and Virginia is seeking the constitutional con vention. If the legislatures of two-thirds of the states adopt indentical re solutions, Congress is required by the Constitution to call the con vention. The purpose of the con vention would be to propose a con stitutional amendment allowing one house of state legislatures to be apportioned on factors other than population. Approval by legisla tures of three-fourths the states would be needed for ratification. A small group of urban legis lators tried in vain to destroy the resolution’s effectiveness with amendments. Lubbock Rep. Bill Parsley, the sponsor, told members “it must stay the same if we are to be ef fective at all.” Rep. Bob Eckhardt of Houston, one of the plaintiffs in the federal court case which brought an order to redistrict the legislature by Aug. 2, pleaded for referral of the measure to a committee. “I don’t really think the pur pose of this is to change the Con stitution, but for carrying out a program of foot-dragging with re spect to redistricting this state,” Eckhardt asserted. Parsley said the amendment would return to the states some control over the composition of their legislatures.

Juvenile Delinquency in Texas as well as the nation is of course anything but a small problem. Every year the percentage of crime among minors increases at an alarming rate. From the foreward of a hand book published by the Texas Youth Council entitled Prevention of Ju venile Delinquency the following excerpt is taken: “Whenever a child develops all the intellectual, spiritual, moral, social, emotional and physical re sources necessary for complete citizenship responsibility and parti cipation, credit for his achieve ment also must be given his par ents and his community. When ever a child becomes delinquent, he cannot be absolved of all com plicity but neither can his parents nor his community. If by neglect he bocemes delinquent, the neglect is on the community level. If he is to be rehabiliated, he must be re-established in a community. “The local community holds the ATTENTION Picture Schedule Aggieland ’65 Individual pictures for the Ag gieland will be made at the Ag gieland Studio according to the schedule below.
