“Your ride leaves early! After thinking for a week, is that
the best excuse you can think of for leavin’ early?”
Computers Never
Replace Quests
Computers can’t take man’s
place in scholarly quests.
“The machine performs only as
instructed and programming does
not turn the operation over to
the computer,” Dr. Joseph Raben
of Queens College, City Univer
sity of New York, informed a
Conference on Computers in
Humanistic Research at Texas
A&M Friday.
“Because of a computer’s qual
ities, it can become an assistant
in various researches in which we
are interested,” the English pro
fessor commented. “It can be
asked to do numbing, repetitive
tasks in short periods of time it
would take a scholar thousands
of hours to do.”
He said the speed, flexibility
and storage magnitude of the
computer make it an ideal re
search tool for the humanist, who
often becomes bogged down and
loses interest while studying vast
manuscripts for stylistic differ
ences.
“What is needed is to com
bine bursts of energy from man’s
mind with the plodding, untiring
persistence of the computer,”
Raben said.
The conference continued in its
final day with speakers on struc
tural analysis, storing and pub
lishing computer research and a
symposium on programming lan
guages and techniques.
Raben reviewed the conference
in its last session Friday after
noon.

Robert E. Moran, scheduled
to appear April 27 on Texas
A&M’s World Around Us series,
has been killed in Guatemala.
Reports Monday indicated that
Moran, who was filming alone in
the jungles of Guatemala near the
Honduras border, was murdered
by guerillas aligned with Com
munist rebels. The reports hinted
that two men were paid $3 to
shoot Moran in the back.
Richard Adams, chairman of
the MSC World Around Us series,
said he received a letter from
Moran’s agent two weeks ago ex
plaining that Moran was missing.
Death of the much-traveled Salt
Lake City resident was announced
Sunday.
Adams said an associate of
Moran’s, Jack Currey, will show
Moran’s films of the Dominican
Republic and supplementary foot
age at the April 27 presentation.
Editor,
The Battalion,
Dear Editor:-
If a newspaper’s excellence or
success were based on the adver
tising space it fills, The Battalion
would surely capture the sweep-
stakes in any contest.
Really, now. Don’t you think
your advertising space is a bit
overbearing when 79% of your
editorial page is allocated to ad
vertising? (Referring to tU
November 17 issue.)
In that same issue there wen
only 17 stories spread among tkt i
eight-page edition. W
Agreed, advertising is yout
bread and butter. But let’s sem
a little meat, too.
Sincerely
Patricia Pritchett

Ichthyology Class Notches
Record With Prize Catch
A fresh water ichthyology class
at Texas A&M University has
notched a new record by catch
ing the first species of mountain
mullet in Texas inland waters.
The Agonostonus monticola was
landed in a recent field trip by
50 junior wildlife science majors
and three staff members. Stu
dents made the catch from Long
King Creek near Goodrich in
Polk County.
Collections were made in the
upper, middle and lower Trinity
River and its tributaries.
Dr. Richard J. Baldauf, Wild
life Science Department acting
head, said the catch of a moun
tain mullet is not new to one of
the staff members on the trip,
Dr. Kirk Strawn. In 1946, Strawn
was credited with catching the
first species on the North Amer
ican Continent.
Baldauf said mountain mullet
are common in Mexico and the
Caribbean. The fish grows to
about one foot in length, he said,
and apparently spawns in the
ocean and migrates to fresh
water streams.
Two rare minnows also were
collected for the first time from
the Trinity by the A&M students.

“M” IS FOR THE MANY THINGS
YOU’LL TEACH HER
Nobody will dispute—surely not I—that raising children
is a task which requires full time and awesome skills.
Nonetheless, a recent nationwide survey has revealed a
startling fact: mothers who go back to work after their
children are safely through the early years are notably
happier, better adjusted, and more fulfilled than mothers
who simply remain housewives. Moreover—and mark this
well—the children of such working mothers are themselves
happier, better adjusted, and more fulfilled!
All very well, you say, but what’s it got to do with you?
Isn't it obvious? If you are underachieving at college, get
your mother a job.
What kind of job? Well sir, your mother is probably
between 35 and 50 years of age, so certain occupations
must immediately be ruled out. Logging, for example. Or
whaling. Or carhopping.
But don’t despair. There are other kinds of jobs-not
many, to be sure, but some. However, you must not stick
Mom in just any old job. You must remember that after
the excitement of raising you, she would be bored to tears
as a file clerk, for instance, or as a dolman. (A dolman, as
we all know, is someone who brings handfuls of water to
track layers. With the recent invention of the pail, dolmen
are gradually falling into technological unemployment.)
But I digress. I was saying, find Mom a job worthy of
her talents, something challenging that uses her vast wis
dom and experience but, at the same time, is not too hard
on her obsolescing tissues. That’s what Walter Sigafoos
did, and the results were brilliantly successful.
Walter, a sophomore at the Upper Maryland College of
Wickerwork and Belles Lettres, majoring in raffia, ap
proached the problem scientifically. First he asked himself
what his mother did best. Well sir. what she did best was
to keep hollering, “Dress warm, Walter!”
At first glance this seemed a skill not widely in demand,
but Walter was not discouraged. He sent out hundreds of
inquiries and today, I am pleased to report, his mother is
happily employed as wardrobe mistress for the Montreal
Canadiens.
Another fortunate venture was that of Frank C. Grans-
mire, a junior at the Oregon State Conservatory of Music
and Optometry, majoring in sties. Frank, like Walter, did
a survey in depth of his mother’s talents. Chief among
them, he found, was her ability to make a roast of beef
feed the whole family for three days. So, naturally, Frank
got her a job at the Museum of Natural History.
What has one to do with the other, you ask? Isn’t it
obvious? Anyone who can stretch ribs like that belongs in
paleontology.
I cannot conclude this column without saying a few
words about Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades. The
reason I cannot is that this column is sponsored by the
makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades, and
they are inclined to get peckish if I omit to mention their
product.
Not, mind you, that it is a chore for me to plug
Personna. Or, for the matter of that, to shave with
Personna. No sir: no chore. Personna takes the pain out
of shaving, scraps the scrape, negates the nick, repudiates
the rasp, peels the pull, boycotts the burn, blackballs the
bite, ousts the ouch. Furthermore, Personna endures and
abides, gives you luxury shave after luxury shave, day
after day after day. And further furthermore, Personna
is available both in double-edge style and Injector style.
And as if all this were not bounty enough, Personna is
now offering you a chance to grab a fistful of $100 bills!
Stop at your Personna dealer and get an entry blank for
the new Personna Super Stainless Steel Sweepstakes. But
hurry! Time is limited.

The makers of Personna who bring you this column all
through the school year also bring you the ultimate in
luxury shaving with Personna and Personnels partner
in shaving comfort—Burma Shave, regular or menthol.
