Tuesday when Dr. Sidney Hamilton of North Texas State University discusses “How Can You Tell It’s Love.” The marriage series, scheduled to run four consecutive Tuesdays, enters its tenth year with Tuesday’s talk. Dr. Hamilton will discuss: 1. How can I be sure of marrying the right person? 2. Has sex desire influenced my choice? 3. Personality factors—courtship—infatuation vs. Love. 4. Am I socially adequate ? 4 5. Relationship of freedom to romance. 6. Should time and distance interfere with true love? Other topics on tap for the four-week forum are “Making Marriage Meaningful,” March 16; ‘The Sexual Aspects of Married Life,” March 23; and “Marrying Outside Your Faith,” March 30. Hamilton, who holds degrees in administrative education, sociology and psychology, teaches courses in mental testing, clinical psycho logy, projective techniques, adoles cent development, guidance and marital psychology at North Texas. He is the author of “Work Book in Marital Psychology” and co author of “Workbook in Adolescent Development.” He serves as after- dinner speaker for service clubs, women’s clubs and other groups and does consultant work in areas of marital adjustments and persona lity problems. The American Association of Marriage Counselors has given Hamilton the rating of “profes sional marriage counselor,” one of five Texans elected to full member ship in the association. Hamilton has appeared at A&M previously as speaker, discussion leader and counselor for married student groups. Apollo Club Hears Of Atomic Power Dr. John L. Gammel, A&M phy sics professor, told the Apollo Club Thursday night that the Unit ed States has a stockpile of atomic power more than one million times as great as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II. The prof, a 13-year veteran of Los Alamos, discussed the moral questions of atomic power. “I don’t believe the question of principle and morality are effected by numbers. I don’t think, for example, that one murder is any less moral than 10,” Gammel said. “It is very hard to say, I think,” Gammel continued, “what form war will take in the future.” “I think the U. S. should main tain strong conventional forces, especially the commando and jun gle warfare types.” License Sale For the convenience of stu dents, faculty, and College Sta tion residents, license plates will be available in the Me morial Student Center near the Post Office. Those interested in buying their 1965 tags there can pick them up any week-day from March 15 through March 26 between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm. ITS Kicks Off FOUR COACHMEN . . . group to perform at ITS tonight. Senate Voices Disapproval Of Insurance Company The Student Senate Thursday night authorized the Executive Committee to write a letter ex pressing the Senate’s disapproval to Albert Knapp and Associates, the company handling the student insurance policy on campus. A motion was made and then withdrawn stating that the Sen ate deemed “unsatisfactory serv ice by the insurance company and if better service is not given we will consider withdrawal of in- dorcement which might conceiv ably reduce the number of people taking the policy.” The motion of Senate opinion was withdrawn in favor of the letter by the Executive Commit tee. Mario Macaluso, senior class vice president headed the investi gation of the insurance company’s handling of claims after it was brought to the Senate’s attention that several cases had been turn ed down. Macaluso said that all reject ed claims had to do with the serv ices of dentists. Gary McBride, one of the students whose case was rejected, took his claim to A&M Director of Personnel Clark C. Munroe who wrote a letter to Albert Knapp and Associates stat ing that he felt the claim should have been paid. The letter he received in reply stated in part: “The policy does include treat ment by licensed physicians or surgeons, their services of hospi tals, graduate nurses, x-rays and other items . . . but dentists are not included and it would be our interpretation that any dental treatment would therefore have to he performed by a physican or surgeon which is, of course, sometimes the case, when persons require major oral surgery on ac count of injury. The language “physican or surgeon” cannot be construed to mean a DDS or Doctor of Dental Surgery.” Ags Render Aid At Auto Accident On Feb. 12, at approximately 5:30 p.m., Roland Moore of Houston was involved in a seri ous automobile accident on Highway 6, north of Navasota. Several Aggies stopped and ren dered assistance at the scene. Moore is thoroughly apprecia tive of the aid provided by these students and now would like to know the names of the boys in volved. The students are directed to make themselves known either at the Office of the Dean of Students or at The Battalion of fice in the YMCA. The letter continued that such a matter had already become a subject of legal interpretation in Texas and the interpretation was that “Physican or Surgeon” as used in policy wording means M.D. or other physian licensed to perform medical surgery. The case sited was Continental Cas ualty vs. Street, Dec. 11, 1963. “In view of the foregoing it would appear, under the terms of this contract we do not have any alterative but declination of claims presented which include treatment by a dentist,” the letter concluded. Munroe researched the verdict and found that pertinent facts had been overlooked by the insur ance company that would make their stand impossible. He has forwarded a letter to the company stating these overlooked facts and again requesting payments, said Macaluso. Munroe said that service on all other claims except those includ ing dentistry work had been handled without question. “We can always throw the con tract out,” said Dean of Students, James P. Hannigan. “If we ex haust all other methods we can always sue,” he continued. Munroe agreed, but said that a suit would be the last course of action.

U. S. Embassy Spattered By Students MOSCOW LP)—Hundreds o f screaming Red Chinese and Viet namese students stoned and spat tered the U. S. Embassy on Thurs day, beat back police, scuffled with soldiers and dispersed only when army reinforcements moved in. Shouting, “Down with American imperialism,” the demonstrators denounced U. S. air strikes in Viet Nam. U. S. Ambassador Foy D. Koh ler delivered a stiff protest, de claring police protection had been inadequate. It was the second at tack on the embassy within a month. Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko apologized, promised to pay for the damage, and said greater measures would be taken for protection of the embassy in the future, an embassy statement said. Then Gromyko handed Kohler a note saying U. S. “acts of planned aggression” in Viet Nam were “an indication that the Unit ed States is embarking upon the road of further extending the war in Southeast Asia.” The note said “such actions” undermine U.S.-So viet relations. Candid Comments On Current Crises' Students Favor Allowing Freshmen To Keep Cars On Question: Do you favor letting freshmen continue to have cars on campus? JOHN WALKER Sophomore, Dallas As long as the fish park in the proper lots and leave their cars there I don’t think we have a parking problem. The only prob lem is when people take their cars to class. The lot behind Nagle Hall is used by students who shouldn’t be parking there. As long as we’ve got plenty of room in the lots then the fresh men should be allowed to keep their cars. BOB LACKLAND Sophomore, Dallas The freshmen should definitely be allowed to keep their cars. Most of the time the Corps park ing lots are half empty, and there is no reason at all why the administration should consider telling anyone that they can’t have cars on campus. If the number of cars increases, park ing facilities should be expanded before they take privileges. RANGER Graduate, College Station Personally I think that all this business about parking is much ado over nothing. There are plenty enough cars on campus for me to chase after, but I don’t think that we will be fac ing a critical shortage of ample parking space in the future. Be sides, we need to worry more about academic excellence rather than who will get to park his car where. JOHN SMITH Senior, Houston If you have to eliminate some one’s cars, then the freshmen cars should be the ones. Most schools don’t allow freshmen to have cars and this might be good here, especially because of our parking problem. There’s never any room to park around the MSC, and with our present park ing facilities, we won’t be able to handle any large enrollment increase this fall. CHARLES SEGREST Sophomore, Portland As long as freshmen use park ing privileges correctly they shouldn’t have to keep their cars off campus. The only trouble is that they misuse their privileges just like everyone else and park in “off-limits” areas. I think en rollment will be a serious prob lem here within a few years, and sooner or later we’ll have to face the problem of too many cars in too few places GARY ALLISON Freshman, San Antonio A move like this would cripple our class because we wouldn’t have any means of transporta tion, especially to out-of-town games. This would surely hurt our spirit. We also need cars for dates and there are always emergencies. Cars on campus lower grades, but I think that they are a necessity. Besides who are the juniors going to borrow cars from ? Campus | LAYNE CONNEVEY Sophomore, Pasadena The answer to our parking situa tion does not lie in preventing people from having cars on cam pus. The problem lies in the school making more and better parking facilities. The areas be hind dorms 5 and 18 and also the sophomore and junior lots should and could be expanded several times their size before students are forced to move cars off campus.
