THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Friday, March 3, 1967
CADET SLOUCH
Topless Go-Go
Goes Vietnamese
Going- to Vietnam may not be such a “drag” after all.
At least on the non-hostile front (if there is such a thing).
According to an Associated Press story, a businessman
revealed plans in Washington recently to “bring America
to our boys overseas” in the form of a topless go-go dis
cotheque.
“We think this will be fun for the GIs,” said Richard L.
Bast. “This will be the sort of club servicemen are used
to at home, but can’t find in Saigon.”
He said the firm of Redex-Veitnam, Inc., is selecting
10 to 25 American girls “of high caliber” to open in the
club in about eight weeks.
Newspaper ads require applicants to be between 21
and 26, single, and willing to sign a 6-month contract which
stipulates they remain unmarried.
The GI will have a chance to hear a little American
“Good Time Music” and observe American girls at a bar-
gin (?) price of $15 per man. Who knows? If the cost
is ever lowered, it just may end the problems of the draft!
Postal Rate Hike Proposed
A House Post Office Subcommittee headed by Rep.
Arnold Olson (D., Mont.) is expected to begin hearings
early in March on the most expensive postal rate increase
bill ever proposed. Terms of the bill have not been unveiled
yet, but are due from the White House shortly.
byjim Earie Research Makes Changes
In Highways Of The Future
Breakaway highway sign re
search by the Texas Transporta
tion Institute is one of several
new wrinkles that will change the
nation’s highways of the future.
A U. S. Bureau of Public
Roads official attending a sign
research project policy committee
meeting at A&M described new
highway design plans.
Charles F. Scheffey, chief of
the structures and applied me
chanics division of BPR’s Office
of Research and Development,
said improved communication and
control systems, elimination of
roadside hazards and improved
esthetics will radically alter high
ways of the future.
“Bureau research people are
acutely aware of factors in high
way design which contribute to
safety or non-safety,” Scheffey
said.
driver. Driver radio communica
tions, improved signs and elec
tronic signals and communication
with moving vehicles from a
stalled auto are promising de
velopments.
T. S. Huff, Texas Highway
Department chief engineer of
highway design, said breakaway
sign installation on interstate
systems is progressing.
“Programs for all of Texas’
interstate highways have been
initiated,” he noted. Heavily-
traveled roads are most critical,
he said. Signs are larger and
require heavier supports.
Price tag - on the bill will be about $700 million dur
ing the first fiscal year and $800 million when fully ef
fective two or three years later. A first-class increase
of one cent per ounce would be imposed July 1, 1967, but
increases of 20-30 percent on second and third class would
not begin until January 1, 1968, and would be spread over
several years.
“I plugged in information on all these girls who would be
possible dates and my statistics, preferences, interests,
bank balance and grade point ratio! Th’ computer says
stay home anud study!”
He * indicated numerous re
search programs are in progress
to find ways to correct conditions
in existing highways and to build
new roadways.
Scheffey said communication
and control system research is
studying a variety of innovations
for getting information to a
“The layman, traveling along
the highway at 60 miles per hour,
cannot distinguish a breakaway
sign from the original,” Huff
said. The new sign differs only
in a slip joint in the pole near
ground level and a hinge that
allows the sign to snap off, away
from a car that hits it.
He said about 60 cases of autos
hitting the new poles have been
investigated, revealing no ap
preciable damage to the car and
no injuries to occupants.
Related research is studying
placing energy absorbing dev
in front of bridge structures, I
added.

Summer Arts
For Architects
Key to the success of the bill will be the six-cent
letter rate. If Congress goes along on the 20 percent 1^ A
boost on regular letters, similar increases in publication im-IIIIUllIlCCLI
and direct mail advertising rates seem inevitable. Ap
proximately $500 million of the extra revenue would come
from letters and airmail.
Even if Congress goes along with the Administration
request for the higher rates, the added revenue will not
be entirely a gain. At the same time, and possibly even
in the bill, Congress seems sure to vote another pay in
crease for all Federal workers, including postal employees.
Special summer arts courses
for architecture majors and the
general public have been an
nounced by Edward J. Romieniec,
chairman of the School of Archi
tecture.
Usually Congress raises pay more than the Administra
tion wants, but even if the White House pay proposal pre
vails, the annual cost to the Post Office will be $200 mil
lion. Thus at least one-quarter of any higher revenue
from rates will be diverted to the personnel budget.
Drawing, water color and re
lated media are scheduled during
the first six weeks of summer
school, June 5-July 14. Emphasis
will be on sketching wtih water
colors.
Revenue measures must originate in the House. While
there is some doubt that this applies to mail rates, it is
traditional for the Senate to allow the House to move first.
The decision to refer the rate bill, when it reaches Con
gress, to a subcommittee rather than to the full House
P. O. Committee, means that the key man is Subcommittee
Chairman Olsen rather than Rep. Thaddeus J. Dulski
(D., N.Y.), new head of the overall postal group.
Classes will be conducted by
Prof. Joseph Donaldson, artist-
lecturer for the School of Archi
tecture.
Romieniec said the summer
program is valuable to architec
ture students and other people
with varying degrees of experi
ence in the visual arts.
Rep. Olsen is a 50-year-old lawyer from Butte who has
served on the postal committee since coming to Congress
six years ago. He has taken a special interest in third
class mail and led an unsuccessful fight to defer mandatory
ZIP Code requirements. While on a first-name basis with
NNA officials, he has not been particularly friendly toward
newspapers.

Credit will be given architec
ture majors as needed, Donald
son noted. He said previous art
training is not a pre-requisite for
the program.
Other information is available
from Donaldson or Prof. T. R.
Holleman.

THE CHURCH FOR
ALU FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor
on earth for the building of charac
ter and good citizenship. It is a store
house of spiritual values. Without a
strong Church, neither democracy
nor civilization can survive. There
are four sound reasons why every
person should attend services regu
larly and support the Church. They
are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For
his children’s sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and material
support. Plan to go to church regu
larly and read your Bible daily.
What will the assay prove? Will the nuggets
that spill so enticingly from the old leather bag
spell the end of a search, the culmination of life
long hopes for sudden wealth and fortune? Or will
they be iron pyrite, the fooler of men—disappointer
of dreams? Only chemical analysis of the metal will
determine its ingredients.
Sometimes our lives are like that. We fill them
to the brim with the things we think mean happi
ness. And then along comes a blow — perhaps it
is a failure of our own, or the betrayal of our trust
by a loved one, or an overwhelming grief. Suddenly
a life full of glittering trappings seems empty and
meaningless. We realize that material possessions
are comfortless and cold, without substance.
Spiritual analysis of life points always to God.
His Church is the open door to the real treasure
of life — the realization of God as the source of
all affluence.
