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.

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.

Editor,
The Battalion:
Over the past weeks, months
and years there has been much
discussion here at A&M over the
course the school should follow
in the future. 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.

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.
All home town and profes
sional club representatives
must turn in all sweetheart
pictures, president pictures
and write-up to the Aggie
land office by March 15 if
they are to go in the AG
GIELAND.

In a separate Management Audit, the Amer

"We are of the opinion that the Company
... is eminently entitled to be classified by
our standards as the best managed business
enterprise in America.”
How has Procter & Gamble earned this standing?
Here's one reason. The 1962 P&G Annual Report
states . . . One of Procter & Gamble's principal
strengths ... its Sales Organization.
chosen for its outstanding achievements in
marketing and merchandising.
Here's more. The Eighth (and most recent) Edi
tion (1961) of the American Institute of
Management's "Manual of Excellent Man
agements” again lists Procter & Gamble as
an Excellently Managed Company, as it has
every year since 1951. The Eighth Edition
also lists Procter & Gamble as ". . . the out
standing investment opportunity...” within
its industry.

"The ultimate success of the Company de
pends, in an important way, on the skill and
resourcefulness which our salesmen bring
to the selling job." And further, "Our Sales
Managers today are fully aware of their
responsibility to find and develop men
qualified not only to handle the sales man
agement responsibilities of the future, but
also men capable of filling other manage
ment positions in the Company.”
It adds up to opportunity ... unexcelled by any
other company anywhere.
