Y’s Forum
Commences
On Tuesday
:$
The YMCA’s annual Marriage Forum opens at 7:30 p. m.
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.

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.
