4 if THE BATTALION Pag-e 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, March 4, 1965 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle ONCE STRONG ALLIES I sure am glad that cows don’t live in trees, or my 1959 Volvo might completely disappear. It is bad enough with an eight- ounce sparrow bombing my Swed ish-made auto, but can you im agine what a 1400 pound cow would do ? Maybe you’ve seen my car. It is usually parked between the YMCA and Mitchell Hall and has a beige base. It is rarely that color, however. You see, there is this tree that hangs directly above my parking place. Therefore, my Volvo is kinda polka-dotted, an off-color combination of brown, black and white. Birds must have very good eyes, because they have found this certain location on the left front fender of my beige coupe that they strike with amazing regular ity. I have contemplated several solutions to the problem: 1. I could park in a different place. This would cause me much hardship, perhaps forcing me to walk an unnecessary 300 yards a day. 2. I could get me a super-pow ered air rifle. This would be rather dangerous, for I would have to look up into the tree to spot my target. And if I point my head upward, the birds might strike me before I could get a shot. 3. I could secure a power saw or an ax. This would eliminate the original source of my prob lem — the tree. But I am afraid that the proper authorities would become rather belligerent. 4. I could slip a little poison into the birds’ food. However, I don’t want to kill them. I would just like them to move their de pository to another area. 5. I could place a bird bathroom on my left front fender, and maybe they would take the hint. Probably, they would just relent to bombing another section of my car, though. None of these remedies seem remedial, so I find myself still in a dilemma. My little car is taking quite a beating, or should I say splashing, and there appears to be nothing I can do. Well, anyway the birds will have several days of leisure be fore I can do anything. My car just refuses to run until some thing is done. U. S. Gets Snub > By Pakistanians An ta*) News Analysis By CONRAD FINK NEW DELHI, India <A>) _ The United States is watching help lessly this week as an Asian leader on whom it pinned many expensive hopes is wooed by Communist China’s leaders on their home ground. He is President Mohammed Ayub Khan of Pakistan, who received what Peking radio calls “a tremendously warm welcome.” It is nothing new for Ameri can diplomats in Asia to see key leaders go to Peking. Indone- cfc 7 Educator Emphasizes Research *‘1 just started thinkin.’—those poor girls will be down on a strange campus away from home for th’ ITS so why shouldn’t someone like me serve as host!” Bulletin Board Federal Aid Receivers Get Government Push WASHINGTON <A>> — State and local agencies which receive federal funds for health, educa tion and welfare programs may soon get a prod if they don’t as sure the government they are complying with the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Wednesday was a target date — but not a deadline — for re cipients of such aid under 95 federal programs to send in as surance of compliance or tell of their plans to eliminate racial and other discrimination. James M. Quigley, assistant secretary of welfare, said “I think the overwhelming majority of our recipients have sent in their assurance of compliance or are doing so.” He reiterated that voluntary compliance is still the goal — rather than pressure or precipi tous cutting off aid for failure to comply, as the law permits. Quigley said his department is now beginning a review of as surances that have been receiv ed and also will immediately pro ceed to determine which recipi ents have failed to send in any thing. He said the welfare department would prefer that a school dis trict which has a problem take enough time so that it can come in with a good workable plan rather than send in an assur ance of compliance which does not reflect the actual conditions. “I don’t have complete fi gures,” Quigley told a reporter, “but as of yesterday the National Institutes of Health said it had sent out 1,200 requests for as surances of compliance from in stitutions receiving its funds for research. All had sent the forms back, filled out, except 42.” “The office of Education had received 1,512 assurances from institutions of higher education, without about 2,100 involved,” Quigley said, and assurances had been received from 47 of the 50 state educational agencies. “Those not in were Louisiana, South Dakota, and Tennessee,” he said. Quigley said he did not have a figure on the individual school districts which have sent in as surances or plans to end dis crimination. But he said they number into the thousands and include recent receipts from dis tricts in Mississippi and South Carolina.

It seems that the main area of conflict has been between the Corps and the Civil ians. What good has the quarreling done either side ? As a member of the Corps, I believe it has many outstanding things to offer an individual, but I also believe in the right of another to dis agree with me. Rather than fight ing among ourselves, why don’t we unite and work for a better school. Surely a greater Texas A&M couldn’t hurt any of us. C.

By Intercollegiate Press Galesburg, 111. — College and university educators and admini strators have been so busy show ing business and industry how to use research and management techniques that they have neg lected to utilize these same tools themselves, according to Presi dent Sharvey G. Umbeck of Knox College. President Umbeck states that educators and administrators must become aware of the need for “management know-how.” He said utilization of management tools proper to an educational institution is essential if colleges “are to concentrate their resourc es to achieve their objectives.” The Knox president warned that not all colleges and univer sities will take advantage of the opportunities available. Some private schools will become tax supported institutions, some will merge with other colleges, some will remain weak and still others will die. The principal difference between these and the schools that succeed “will be one of vi gorous effective management,” he said. sians, Cambodians, Burmese and Japanese have made the trip. But Ayub is a special case. A few years ago he was the center of U. S. plans for a firm anti-Communist alliances in Asia. Ayub had taken Pakistan into both the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization alliances. American planes were operat ing out of Pakistan bases and U. S. aid was pouring in. The U. S. economic and mili tary bill in Pakistan totals more than $4 billion and the flow of dollars is likely to continue de spite Ayub’s flirtation with the Chinese. In Pakistan, as in other Asian nations flirting with Peking, American diplomats have essent ially two choices. They can stick it out, hoping to salvage some influence. Or they can quit and go home in a huff, with the inevitable result that Red China wins in a walk- Some of the nations along Chi na’s perimeter will cast their lot with Peking regardless, as Cam bodia and Indonesia apparently already have done.
