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.

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.

fering dramatically higher reduc
tion ratios and improved optics in
reading devices,” the librarian
said. “When these developments
occur, the economics of micro
reduction and book storage may
change and new solutions to the
space problem may follow.”
Cataloguing is another major
problem facing university libra
ries, Dix stated. 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.
Alvin Jones, chief instructor
for A&M’s Engineering Exten
sion Service division, said a
school for Houston’s Street Re
pair Division starts March 6. A
similar program for Houston’s
Water Maintenance and Sewer
Repair divisions begins March 20.
Jones expects an enrollment of
120 men from the Street Repair
Division. He said 30-man classes
will be taught at night in four
areas of the city for convenience
of participants.
Employes can register for 100
hours of instruction in operation
of heavy equipment, including
crawler tractors, motor grades,
draglines or loaders.
Jones said employes will attend
two hours of night classes each
week and spend one Saturday
each month practicing the use of
equipment at a City of Houston
training field, 1700 Crosstimbers.
Arthur Hoover of TEES will
teach the night classes. Members
of the Heavy Equipment School
staff will assist in Saturday
training programs.
Sixty students from Houston’s
Water Maintenance and Sewer
Repair Divisions will be divided
into two groups for instruction
in operation of hydraulic and
cable hoes, loaders and ditching
machinery.
Jones will head the mainten
ance and sewer section, also

SERGIU LUCA
VIOLINIST
• When Issac Stem performed in Lucerne in 1960, a
young man walks up to him and requested an audition. After
much hesitation, this was granted. This important decision
marked the beginning of Sergiu Luca’s career in the United
States, for Mr. Stern brought him to this country the following
year. In less than six years, the young Israeli violinist has
been eagerly engaged by leading American orchestras including
the Detroit, Duluth, Oklahoma City and San Diego Symphonies
as well as the New York Philharmonic and Philadelphia
Orchestra.
S5, he played with the New York Phil-
Bemstein in a Young People’s Concert
