College Ave. Open Every Night Till 8:30 Now Until Christmas Students Give Opinions Roundtable Sessions Bring Out Views THE BATTALION Friday, December 10, 1965 College Station, Texas Page 5 Roundtable sessions during the eleventh Student Conference on National Affairs allows delegates to voice their opinions. Opinions voiced Thursday were: “We are back to the old argu ment of the man facing a rattle snake ready to strike. Does he make his first move to kill the snake or does he make his first move to go and get an anti toxin?” asked West Point Cadet James Gardner about the ad vantages of long and short term aid. “We have all discovered that we are not qualified, I want to know who slipped. By the way, I am not qualified either,” said Ray Hall from Arkansas State about being an expert on SCONA’s topic. “We—the United States—are willing to give aid and send care packages, but when it comes time to do something like lower tariffs and make a market for these countries; a move which might hurt individual businessmen, that is where they draw the line,” said Robert Rice from Kansas State about what home policies would best help make Viet Nam an indi vidual government. “I must, with all honesty, say it is simply a poor man’s NATO,” Student Psychology Demonstration Set A Texas A&M University ca reer day program that “back fired” makes its second extra curricular run Thursday. Members of the Student Psy chological Association hope their “Psychology in Action” demon stration at 7:30 p.m. in Room 401 of the Academic Building is as popular as it was last year. The Thursday program, open to all interested persons and es pecially A&M and high school students, consists of a demon stration of apparatus used in ex perimental psychology. Some of the equipment was set up for High School Career Day last year, but Association presi dent Charles Kluge said the re sponse wasn’t good. “It was a flop,” he described. “We decided we could do better and made arrangements for a one-night demonstration after ca reer day to prove it.” Around 60 attended, the senior psychology major from Freeport stated. Now the dry-run for career day is becoming an annual event. Kluge will ramrod the program. Equipment to be demonstrated Thursday, according to club vice president Glynn R. Donaho, is a polygraph, Skinner box, “T” maze, rotating trapezoid, reac tion timer, teaching machine, vis ual cliff and pursuit rotor. The instruments demonstrate the phenomena of learning, opti cal illusion and coordination be tween hand and eye. Dr. Jim Elliott, assistant pro fessor of psychology, is Student Psychological Association spon sor. He and Dr. Albert Casey will supervise the operation. Educational TV Experiment Begins In Graphics Class The Educational Television De partment is currently experi menting with video teaching in the Department of Engineering Graphics, according to Mel Chas tain, program director. The experiment is being con ducted in the classroom labora tory in the Engineering Building and will be used for 20 classes this week, Chastain said. The department is working with Dr. Jim Earle of the Department of Engineering Graphics. Six monitors and one camera are used in the project. If suc cessful, video education may be come commonplace in engineer ing graphics, Chastain said. ‘This Christmas be Santa Claus to all the family Give an EXTENSION TELEPHONE IN COLOR (Costs this year one-fourth less than last Christmas) Wonderful Christmas gift ... an extension telephone in color!

Griffiths of the British Army in describing SEATO. “The thing that angered me so much about WerfePs speech was his inferance that since the Com munist party was the best organ ized, it should be given some amount of control,” said Lt. Col. Andrew Nisbet of Fort Bragg, N. C. “South Viet Nam government does not have the political sup port of the people because the people don’t care about the gov ernment. They just care about their own interests,” said Sam Henry of Texas A&M. “The end of colonial rule in Viet Nam left several problems— the French left Viet Nam with an unstable government, now we are trying to clean it up,” said David Hollingsworth of Texas Tech. “There is no such thing as a foreign policy based on moral and ethical grounds,” said Gene Gar cia of Texas A&I. “I don’t think elections in Viet Nam would have settled the situ ation because people wouldn’t have accepted the results. The losers would have felt cheated. The North and South would have split ways, depending on who won,” said Mary Ann Mesker of the University of Tulsa. “The big countries are fighting a war by proxy, through this vehicle of a country which has the situation of a civil war. Eventu ally I believe there will be a bal ance of power in Southeast Asia instead of any one country domi nating, regardless who wins in Viet Nam,” he added. “If a stalemate were reached, we would be sitting around the table again wondering what to do,” said Richard P. Snaider of the United States Naval Acad emy. “We are in Viet Nam to help the people set up their own gov ernment, and to stop communism, not just making use of the land area to fight a war,” the cadet concluded.

Spreading a table of such proportions might send a housewife after aspirin, but it’s just a mite more than what is normally ex pected for meals in Texas A&M’s dining halls. The annual Christmas feast at Sbisa and Duncan Dining Halls is at 6:45 p.m. Thursday announced Col. Roy Dollar, food service director. Dec. 17 is the final day of classes before Christmas holidays. The festive meal for students and their guests features roast tom turkey, cornbread dressing, marshmallow-topped sweet potatoes, fresh peas with mushrooms, cranberry sauce, Waldorf salad, mince meat pie, hot rolls and butter, milk and coffee and trays of relish, fruit, mixed nuts and hard candy. Special table decorations, student-decorated trees and Christmas music will add to the occasion. Students may acquire tickets for guests at the office in Sbisa up to 48 hours before meal time. Guest tickets are $1:50 each. The meal is not offered to the community. Food for the event, at wholesale competitive bid prices, will cost up to $7,500, Dollar said. “We barely have enough people to prepare it,” he added. “The cooks deserve the gratitude. They strain and stretch to get every thing ready and they do it from pure pride in their work. It would break Willie Yeager’s heart if every little thing were not perfect.” Yeager, chef at Sbisa, has been an A&M dining hall employee planters riix* o rt m Holiday Special!
