Sweetheart Entry Deadline Changed The deadline for entering sweetheart candidates pictures for the Junior Ball has been changed to noon Monday. “Due to changes in planning for the Junior Ball, the Junior Council has moved up the dead line,” said John Daly, class social secretary. Pictures are to be turned in to the Student Programs Office, with each candidate’s name, academic classification, age and school printed on the back. The five-by-seven-inch photos are to have a sheet of paper at tached to the front with the name, mailing address and dorm and room number of each entry’s escort. that the boost is certainly not a sure thing. That was the way the situa tion was described by Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, D-Ark., of the House Ways and Means Com mittee. All tax legislation must originate with this group and Mills said it has not even set a date for hearings. MILLS observed that Johnson proposed a temporary 6 per cent surcharge, effective July 1, but that the President has never sent up the specific legislation. “It would be premature for the committee to put this pro posal on its agenda,” Mills said, adding that even if an adminis tration bill were before it, the tax panel would want to study the economy at length before de ciding it. And finally, he said, “I will insist that every effort be made by the President and the Con gress to show some concrete re sults in expenditure reduction be fore we take up any tax increase proposal.” THERE APPEARED no pros pect that hearings, if held at all, would begin before June, practi cally ruling out enactment by Twelvejournalists Go To Commerce For Press Meet Twelve student delegates from the Journalism Department will participate in a Southwest Journ alism Congress Friday and Satur day at East Texas State Univer sity in Commerce. They will be among 240 dele gates from 16 universities and colleges in Texas, Arkansas, Loui siana and Oklahoma, announced Dr. Delbert McGuire, A&M Jour nalism Department head. Newspaper, magazine and pho tography contests are scheduled. James Sizemore of Sherman, president of the Society of A&M Journalists, is the university’s voting delegate. Tommy De- Frank of Arlington is outgoing parliamentarian of the congress. Other A&M delegates include Robert Solovey of Silver Springs, Md., Robert Palmer of Mount Pleasant, Gus De La Garza of Raymondville, John Fuller of San Antonio, Robin Mason Crouch of Saratoga, Michale Paetz of Gal veston, Lee Moreno of Richmond, Winston Green of Tyler, Robert Borders of Center and Charles H. Rowton of Killeen. July 1, although the tax could be made retroactive. Policy advisers within the ad ministration, while sticking by the forecast that a tax rise apparently will be needed to hold down de ficits and ward off inflation, said the proposal might be withdrawn or modified if the expected eco nomic pickup is not in sight by April or May. A possible modification could be a later effective date — Sept. 1, or even next Jan. 1, instead of July 1. REPUBLICANS, who have in sisted it would be better to re duce deficits by spending cuts than by tax increases, tended to take the aministration sources’ as sessment as strengthening their position. When Johnson made his July 1 tax increase propoosal it was backed by the report of his Coun cil of Economic Advisers that the national economy, showing some signs of slowing at year's end, would pick up speed before mid- 1967.

Four Basic Facts Aid In Marital Sex Adjustments “Time, mutual learning, a healthy optimistic attitude and a desire to succeed are basic pre requisites for sexual adjustment,” Dr. Henry Bowman stated at the YMCA’s Marriage Forum Tues day night. “Man must realize the basic fact that there are biological dif ferences between men and wom- Dr. Bowman remarked. Bowman, a University of Texas sociologist, said too many men don’t give the time and considera tion necessary for the woman to receive full satisfaction of the sex act. “A man builds up to his sexual peak and then there is an abrupt decline to where his interest in sex is almost at the zero level. Then he wants to go to sleep.” “The woman builds up to her sexual peak and then there is a gradual reduction in her interest in sex. She goes through a stage, called ‘after-glow’, in which she needs affection and reassurance. She is vibrant, alive and very much awake, and her husband wants to go to sleep.” Bowman believes that “any man who goes directly to sleep at this point is not only missing the boat, but doesn’t even know the boat exists.” Dr. Bardin H. Nelson of A&M's Department of Agricultural Eco nomics and Sociology will present the last of the series in the Mar riage Forums next Tuesday when he discusses “Marrying Outside Your Faith.” University National Bank “On the side of Texas A&M” —Adv.
