THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, February 17, 1967 “Would you be pleased or worried if your Freshmen told you they were going to make your Sophomore Ball Week end one you’d never forget!” Women’s Protest Is Leftists’ Tool? Someone once said that “the woman’s place is in the home.” But Wednesday more than 2,500 of them left home to storm the Pentagon in Washington, demanding to see “the generals who send our sons to Vietnam.” It’s true that all red-blooded Americans are for God, the flag and motherhood, but now it seems that our ultra liberal and “commie symp” (communist sympathizer) fac tions have managed to attack all three. First, there was the big expose about the idea that “God is Dead.” Its impact on the American public was softened somewhat by the skillful tactics of a few con cerned clergyman. Secondly, the rash of draft card burners showed noth ing but contempt and disrespect for the flag and for what it stands. And now, organized mothers are marching against the government demanding that there be a confrontation be tween “the mothers of this country and the generals who send our sons to Vietnam” that is “long overdue.” The project was arranged by the “Women Strike for Peace” which conducts frequent protest demonstrations at the White House, the Capitol and the Pentagon. It may be true that in today’s world the woman’s place is not always at home, but its certainly not their place to be out in some picket line protesting something they know little or nothing about. Emotions alone can be dangerous. Bob Hope Lashes Russians For Road Show Criticism EDITOR’S NOTE: The following is an article re printed from Thursday’s Houston Post. It shows the quick, cutting wit which has made Bob Hope one of America’s greatest comedians. MIAMI BEACH — Bob Hope, amused by Soviet charg es that he is a “Pentagon clown” and “salesman for agres sion,” said Wednesday, “I may not eat caviar for three or four hours.’ The Soviet newspaper Izvestia accused Hope of publi cizing a “dirty war” with “half naked girls singing and more half naked girls dancing.’ While Hope’s official reason for going to Vietnam was to raise troop morale, Izvestia said, “His actual pur pose is publicity — publicity for the dirty war.” The paper called Hope the “Pentagon’s worthy jester.” The comedian, in Miami Beach for a vacation, parried: “They’re still mad because I owe them $1,200 with interest. They still remember my book, T Owe Russia $1,200.’ “Seriously, I think they must be losing or they would n’t be picking on me. As for my unit with naked girls, that’s not true. If it were, I’d have stayed in Vietnam. “And talk about dirty wars,” Hope said, “they’ve got their ships going into Haiphong Harbor with supplies for the enemy in a war they claim they’re not even connected with. “They’ve got me confused. I’m not a Pentagon clown. I work for the USO. I guess the Russians think that stands for United Strippers Organization. “They’re right about one thing, I am selling aggres sion — to get them out of the war. “Sure it’s a dirty war. I’ve never heard of a clean one. But this is the dirtiest war I’ve ever seen because as far as I’m concerned they’re making it that way. “Besides, who do they think they are — Berkeley? “Millions of Americans saw my show on television. It was the highest rated program of the season. There weren’t any naked girls to be seen. Believe me, if there had been, I would have seen them.” Hope added: “There must be some mistake. I thought everyone was attacking Ronald Reagan this month. It’s a natural mistake. They figure every American performer is going into politics. “The Russians are jealous. They’ve heard I’ve been doing love scenes with Phyllis Diller.” Eminent Libraian Praises Current Expansion Program A&M Heavy Equipment School Begins Six-month Houston Program Texas A&M’s current $3.6 mil lion library expansion program was praised as “a great stride” forward by one of the nation’s most eminent librarians. Dr. William S. Dix, librarian at Princeton the past 13 years, said A&M’s move ahead in library ex pansion is coming at the right time. “As A&M begins to think more of itself as a general university,” Dix continued, “it will need sub stantial library resources.” Texas A&M is adding 200,000 more square feet of floor space to its Cushing Memorial Library, allowing the university to in crease its volume to one million books, double that of its present capacity. “Size isn’t everything in a library,” the former Rice Univer sity librarian remarked. “You can have quality without size, but there is an unmistakable correla tion between size and quality. It is no accident that Harvard, the nation’s library leader in number of books, is thought of as a great university.” The Princeton librarian said A&M already has a great libra rian in Dr. James P. Dyke. Dr. Dix made the comments while at A&M to deliver a Uni versity Lecture. The speaker said no library can hope to acquire and house all the staggering quantity of print now being produced. He noted that the number of titles published has more than doubled since 1958. It is manifestly impossible,” he commented, “But a general re search library, such as a univer sity library, must have a repre sentative sample. And if it is to remain sufficiently representa tive, the size of this sample must increase as the volume of world publishing increases.” Dix discussed pros and cons of using micro-reproduction to off set the growing space problems of libraries. “One hears rumors of imminent technological break-throughs, of- 2 Health Experts To Visit Center Two health experts and an au thority on architecture will visit the School of Architecture’s Re search and Graduate Center dur ing February. James R. Patterson, director of the Research and Graduate Center, said all three will review the center’s medical facilities re search and development program. Dr. James Telfer and Dr. Gor don R. Engebretson members of the American Medical Associa- tion-American Institute of Archi tects’ Joint Committee on Envir onmental Health, will tour the facilities Feb. 23. E. Todd Wheeler, architect in charge of hospital design for Per kins and Will Partnership, archi tects, Chicago, 111., will visit Feb. 28. Patterson said the Perkins and Will firm did architectural work for the Yale-New Haven medical complex and for medical schools at Duke and the University of North Carolina. Wheeler is the author of a book, “Hospital Design and Func tion.” Barron To Speak At Police School District Judge John M. Bar ron of Bryan will address the closing session of the four-week general school for law enforce ment officers Friday at Texas A&M. Barron’s topic for the 12:15 p.m. luncheon at A&M’s Memorial Stu dent Center is “Law Enforcement Service to the Community.” Wallace Beasley, coordinator of police training for A&M’s Engi neering Extension Service, will award certificates to 30 officers who completed the course.

He said the country does not have enough people with required professional cataloguing training, subject knowledge and language skills to bring under local bibliographic controls the books coming into the libraries. Many readers in large libra ries, he said are subjected to too much frustration in using the catalogue. Dix indicated he fav ors centralized cataloguing, or performing the basic cataloguing operation only once at a central location and distribution of the information to those libraries needing it. Dr. Dix predicted that by 1980 the existing major university li braries of this country will have at least 217 million books. He noted that 43 major university libraries now have collections of one million or more books. Dix said expenditures of un precedented magnitude will be needed to acquire, organize, main tain and distribute collections ef fectively. Individual institutions will have to keep increasing libra ry budgets, he suggested, and receive additional support from other sources. Two NSA Presidents Admit Taking No Money From CIA To Aid Club MADISON, Wis. OP) — Two former presidents of the Nation al Student Association said to day they were informed after taking office that the Central Intelligence Agency was provid ing money to NSA but they add ed they did not know how much. government or CIA had any con trol over NSA. Donald A. Hoffman, 30, Elm Grove, Wis., and Edward R. Gar vey, 26, Burlington, Wis., both students in the University of Wis consin Law School, said they were surprised to learn that CIA gave their organization a reported $200,000. They said they re ceived none of the money and were not on the CIA payroll. After completing their NSA terms, Garvey worked for the In ternational Student Conference in Leiden. The Netherlands and Hoffman for the State Depart ment’s foreign service in Paris. Both said their salaries on these assignments were not paid by CIA. Texas A&M's Heavy Equip ment School will begin two six- month training schools for City of Houston employes in March.
