Planning Is Key
CADBT SLOUCH
by jim Earle Education Club Has Election
To Food Shortage
The major problem which has faced mankind since
history began is not war or pestilence, but the simple
procurement of food to keep him alive.
To some, the fact that there are two kinds of people,
those who eat and those who starve, is a fact to accept
as an inevitable part of the pattern.
There have been efforts on the part of some affluent
nations to aid underpriviledged countries. The United
States gives a quarter of its total wheat crop to India,
but still these countries starve due to mis-managed bureau
cracy and misguided religious stigmas.
This is contributing to a greater problem here in the
United States. Dwindling farm surpluses are causing
concern among government leaders.
The situation has led many to advocate the gradual
reduction of government farm controls until finally there
are no controls. The recent milk-dumping incidents have
added fuel to this fire.
But a bright spot has finally been sighted on the
otherwise bleak picture.
A report just released by the National Council of
Marine Resources and Engineering Development indicates
progress in processing food from the ocean. This food
is a fish protein concentrate, and is so far the cheapest
food available.
Vice President Hubert Humphrey, chairman of the
council, called the development of the concentrate “a tre
mendous breakthrough in the war on hunger.”
According to a recent story in the Christian Science
Monitor, Peru and Chile are now using the fish protein
to enrich food. At the same time, the concentrate went on
the New York Commodity Exchange, and a Norwegian firm
announced a new high-protein fish paste which can be
sold cheaply to poor countries.
Adding to these developments are improvements on
traditional crops, both in quality and quantity. Corn
growers today have doubled their yield per acre over
that of 20 years ago.
All of these developments, innovations in new foods,
improvement of old foods, and a lessening of farm controls,
definitely make for a brighter prospect of ending world
hunger.
But this does not wipe out the need for population
control. In a technically advanced society such as our’s,
there is something wrong when our main exhausting con
cern is feeding ourselves.—B.B.
Officers for the 1967-68 school
year will be elected at a Tuesday

orial Student Center, announced
Don Houston of Dallas, who will
preside at the meeting.
The club will elect a new pres
ident, vice president, secretary,
treasurer, parliamentarian, his
torian and editor.
Plans also will be finalized for
a May 6 banquet at Clayton's
Restaurant. Tickets costing $2.25
each may be purchased at the
meeting from officers or Educa
tion and Psychology Department

Agronomy Receives $5,000 Grant
Texas A&M has received a $5,-
000 endowment from Dr. Luther
G. Jones of College Station to
perpetuate the Luther G. Jones
Scholarship.
The scholarship has been in
effect since 1952, the year that
Jones retired after 30 years of
agronomy teaching and research
with the university.
Purpose of the scholarship is to
reward, recognize, encourage and
assist a student to be selected
each year in the Agronomy Sec
tion, Department of Soil and Crop
Sciences.
The $5,000 endowment will be
banked to draw enough interest
to provide at least $200 per year,
according to Richard Weirus, ex
ecutive secretary of the A&M As
sociation of Former Students.
Recipients are juniors who are
chosen on the basis of need, aca
demic standing and other quali
ties.
Chairman Dennis Hohmann
said 11 people have been named
to the committee, which will be
gin this week to determine topics
for discussions and begin round
ing up speakers for the three-
day meeting. This year’s meet
ing has tentatively been sched
uled for Sept. 7-9 at the Texas
Methodist Assembly near Pales
tine.

VAN DER HOFF
Social-life majors, take a
look at Charles Van der
Hoff. He can't play the
guitar. Never directed
an underground
movie . And then
look at his ears!
A bit much? Yes!
But--Charles Van
der Hoff can hear
a bottle of tart,
tingling Sprite
being opened in the
girls' dormitory
from across the
campus!
What does it
matter, you say?
Hah! Do you realize
that Charles Van
der Hoff has never
missed a party
in four years?
When he hears
those bottles
of Sprite being uncapped--the roars--the
fizzes--the bubbles--he runs! So before you
can say anti-existentialism, he ' s getting in
on that tart, tingling, slightly tickling taste of
Sprite. And delicious refreshment
--as well as a good time--is his.
Of course, you don't have to
have ears as big as Charles Van
der Hoff's to enjoy the swinging
taste of Sprite. You may
just have to resign
yourself to a little
less social life.
SPRITE, SO TART AND
TINGLING, WE
JUST COULDN'T KEEP
IT QUIET.

“Damn Yankees” will massage them like no TV show ever
has. The music from this all-time Broadway smash has
been completely rescored, arranged for a great new sound.
The visual techniques take the step beyond “pop” and
“op.” It’s the kind of innovation you associate with GE
and that’s why we’re part of it. That’s why we’re putting
“Damn Yankees” on the air. Don’t miss it.
