Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, February 25, 1965 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle Professors have an amazing knack for disrupting the weekly schedule of a college student. First, they give quizzes on Monday. Anybody who is anybody knows that Monday is a bad day for a quiz because it comes after a weekend filled with wine, women and song. Second, they give quizzes on Tuesday. \ Anybody who is anybody knows that Tuesday is a bad day for a quiz because Monday night is just too early in the week for studying. Third, they give quizzes on Wednesday. Anybody who is anybody knows that Wednesday is a bad day for a quiz because Tuesday night is the time for the midweek date or the big .basketball game or the local lounge. Fourth, they gives quizzes on Thursday. Anybody who is anybody knows that Thursday is a bad day for a quiz because Wednesday night is church night. Fifth, they give quizzes on Friday. And anybody who is anybody knows that Friday is a bad day for a quiz because Thursday night is the night for planning the com ing weekend of wine, women and song. It is also a popular night for poker and dominoes. Sixth, they gang up on the student so he will have seven quizzes on one day. Now having one quiz on a Mon day is bad, having one quiz on a Tuesday is in violation of all principle, having one quiz on a Wednesday is an unpardonable crime, having one quiz on a Thursday is quite contrary to the rules of the game, and hav ing one quiz on a Friday is a monstrous obsecenity. But anybody who is anybody knows that having more than one quiz on any of these days is a rib-tickling experience for the profs. Perhaps quizzes are as much of a chore to the profs as they are to their ambitious students. The roundtable meeting during which they debate the one day for everybody to give a quiz might remind us of a session of some top military brass. In this particular session, the generals and their assistants were trying to agree on a day for their meetings. Saturday and Sunday were in stantly cast aside. One official suggested Monday and that met with a roar of disapproval from the others because it would cut short the weekend. Another suggested Friday and was immediately reprimanded be cause that would cut the next weekend short. Tuesday was suggested and someone objected because every one would still be recovering from the long weekend made possible by not having the staff meeting on Monday. Thursday was rejected because it would interfere with planning the long weekend ahead made possible by not having the staff meeting on Friday. Finally, a bright young lieu tenant stood up and said, “Gen tlemen, why don’t we meet on Wednesday ?” And an old general bellowed, “Just leave it up to some damn young fool to mess up two week ends.” SAYS NEWLBJ POLICY Flexibility Of Action Needed In Viet Nam War “I used to shine my shoes real good, but nobody cared. No body cared when I quit shinin’ them and nobody seems to care now that I’ve quit wearin’ shoes at all!” By FRANK CORMIER WASHINGTON <A>) — Presi dent Johnson is trying to main tain complete flexibility of ac tion in Viet Nam, military and diplomatically, and has serious doubts the Communists are ready for settlement talks. He has seen no evidence that Asian Communists want bona- fide talks and does not want to get involved in any highly publi cized negotiations that might fail and result in a psychological set back, if nothing worse. There have been increasing demands from some quarters that Johnson state settlement terms that would be acceptable to the United States. This he has been reluctant to do, believing the Communists might feel impelled to reject au tomatically such terms. The President stands behind his oft-stated willingness to en tertain a. settlement guarantee ing the integrity and independ ence of South Viet Nam. But he retains skepticism, also ex pressed in the past, that the Communist side is prepared to ob serve such guarantees. Holding the view that Hanoi has paid scant regard to the terms of previous settlements, he would almost certainly insist on some strong assurances in this regard. Johnson has been the target of some criticism for not making a detailed policy statement on Viet Nam. He wants to keep his statements to a minimum to avoid tying his hands or encour aging the Communists to be lieve they are free to take cer tain actions without risking counteraction. He believes the United States tied its own hands too tightly in the Korean War by announcing it would not use nuclear weap- Bulletin Board Appropriations Bill JL JL JL Kills Tech Law School AUSTIN (A 5 ) — Lubbock Rep. Reed Quilliam failed Wednesday to strike from the general appro priations bill a rider that would keep Texas Tech from starting a law school. The Texas Commission on Higher Education approved a law school at the college, but no funds were included for it in the $3.57 billion house appropriations bill, which passed to the Senate today. The rider provides that no funds appropriated for faculty salaries may be spent for law faculty pay in law schools not in existence on Feb. 1. “There is no law school serv ing the western half of the state.” said Quilliam. “We have the largest area in the United States without a law school.” Quilliam said Texas Tech’s board of regents have been in terviewing prospective law school deans, and “a lot of work has gone into it.” Rep. W. S. Heatly, sponsor of the bill, said 1,800 lawyers are graduated in Texas each year, and “we have a much greater need for veterinarians than law yers.” Referring to Gov. John Con- nally’s proposed new college co ordinating board, which the house has approved, Heatly said “let’s let it decide whether they need a law school.” Quilliam’s amendment striking the rider was tabled, 78-55.

TRW Space Technology Laboratories has openings for Scientific and Business Programmers in its new Manned Spaceflight Department in Houston. Here, in new facilities adjacent to NASA’s Manned Space Flight Center, TRW Space Technology Laboratories has responsibility to NASA for Apollo mission planning, mission analysis and real-time program development. STL’s task, in broad terms, consists of “building a computer highway to the moon." STL Programmers will chart the path the Apollo craft must follow and the functions and maneuvers which will be required to remain on that path for manned landing on the lunar surface in 1969. With this challenging assignment, STL in Houston has ground-floor opportunities that may never be available again. For these exceptional openings, STL requires BS or MS degrees in Aeronautical Engineering, Physics, Applied Math or Astronomy, with experience or training in these areas: MISSION ANALYSIS: Strong analytical ability and technical originality with broad background in flight mechanics, astronautics, missile guidance and mission performance. TRAJECTORY ANALYSIS: Familiarity with the use of digital computation, analytically inclined, with background in space mechanics. ASTRODYNAMICS: Theoretical background in celestial mechanics, orbit determination and/or re lated fields of math, physics or astronomy. GUIDANCE ANALYSIS: Familiarity with techniques for missile guidance and experience in orbital mechanics, random processes and statistics. SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMMING: Background in high speed digital computers. Will assist in the solution of problems arising in missile and space vehicle engineering, with responsibility for direction, pro gramming, debugging and analysis of computer solutions. ACT NOW!
