Battalion Staff Writer
World economist Dr. John Ken
neth Galbraith spoke before a
turn-away crowd Tuesday night
in the Memorial Student Center
Ballroom.
Dr. Galbraith spoke on “Eco
nomic Policy: The Prospect in
Light of the Recent Past.” His
talk centered on the problems
that have arisen since World War
II in the world economic situa
tion.
ONE OF his main points was
that the rich countries have be
come richer and the poor have
stayed poor despite their at
tempts to change. He stated that
“the disparity between the rich
and the poor countries of the
world has widened in the last 20
years.”
He demonstrated his case with
a comparison of the economic
philosophies of Germany and
Norway since the end of World
War II. He explained that West
Germany has professed an eco
nomic policy of total free enter
prise, while Norway has gone
more to a socialistic form. In
reality, he noted that Germany
has more of a socialistic economy
than that of Norway.
Dinner Scheduled
For Faculty, Staff
Texas A&M’s staff-faculty-
board dinner will be April 24 in
Sbisa Hall.
Robert G. Cherry, assistant to
A&M President Earl Rudder, said
the stag banquet will include a
6:30 p.m. reception with dinner
at 7:15.
Cherry said all members of the
Texas A&M University System
Board of Directors plan to attend
and will be in the reception line.
The program includes brief
remarks by Board President H. C.
Heldenfels with Rudder presiding.
Tickets are $2.50 and available
through department heads and di
rectors and at the Memorial Stu
dent Center, beginning Thursday.
While listed as stag, Cherry
emphasized that women members
of the university are invited.
ANOTHER MAJOR portion of
Dr. Galbraith’s address was fo
cused on the public’s influence
on economic change. Galbraith
feels that if the public were “giv
en their heads, they would de
mand too many concessions on
the economy.” However, he also
stated that he felt the public
served to “lend security to the
economy” in a sort of checks and
balances system. He said that in
the future a difficulty would arise
in convincing the public that the
economy should be slowed down
rather than expanding at its cur
rent rate.
On more domestic matters, Gal
braith noted the recent crisis in
the balance of payments. He con
cluded that European countries
have gained confidence in the
world market because of the in
flow of American gold into their
treasuries. He felt that the “tend
ency to do nothing is the course
that will probably be followed . . .
which is- very dangerous.”
DR. GALBRAITH is a former
United States ambassador to In
dia under President Kennedy. He
has acted as an economic advisor
to the countries of India and
Pakistan.
He received his Ph.D. from
California in 1934. He has since
taught at the University of Cali
fornia, Princeton and Harvard.
He is curently the Paul M. War
burg Professor of Economics at
Harvard, and has been at the
university since 1948. In addi
tion, he was a social science re
search council fellow at Cam
bridge University.
The lecture was sponsored by
the University Lecture Series,
the Memorial Student Center’s
Great Issues Committee and the
Agricultural Economics and So
ciology Department.
IN ADDITION to being one of
the more noted economists of the
day, Galbraith is an outspoken
liberal. He is the newly elected
chairman of the Americans for
Democratic Action. In the past
few years, Galbraith has been the
voice of the American liberals
in both foreign and domestic eco
nomic policy.

‘Don’t Try
Says TWU
To Snow
Manners
Date,’
Panel
By NEAL COOK
Battalion Staff Writer
“Don’t try to snow the girl
when you call her, after all she
is already snowed by your calling
her.”
This was the advice of Kris
Holmberg, a freshman at Texas
Woman’s Universtiy, when she
spoke ,at the YMCA’s Man Your
Manners program Tuesday night.
MISS HOLMBERG, a history
major from El Paso, was one of
the panel of four students from
TWU who discussed “Dating
Etiquette.”

U. S. Supreme Court Denies
Apportionment Rehearing
WASHINGTON LP>_The U.S.
Supreme Court has denied with
out comment a motion from the
| State of Texas seeking rehearing
of arguments over apportionment
of the Texas House of Represent
atives. The denial leaves the job
of remapping up to the current
legislature.
In Houston, Bill Wright, law
yer for the plaintiffs in the case,
said he expected to seek a new
hearing before a three-judge fed
eral court in Houston and to ask
them to throw out the current ap
portionment plan.
ASSISTANT Texas Atty. Gen.
George Cowden said from Austin,
“We will just tell the Legislature
to go ahead and rewrite the bill.”
Texas Atty. Gen. Crawford
Martin was in Washington Tues
day on Democratic Party matters
and could not be reached for com
ment.
Work on the new mapping has
been going on anyway, despite
the fact that the High Court’s
previous ruling did not amount to
a final rejection of the current
scheme. What the court said in
its Feb. 20 ruling was that the
plaintiffs were entitled to a re
hearing on the matter before the
three-judge Houston panel and
that the current apportionment
is lopsided.
THE COURT explained that
population per House seat varies
from 54,385 to 71,301 or from
14.84 per cent over-representation
First Bank & Trust now pays
5% per annum on savings cer
tificates. —Adv.
to 1.64 per cent under-representa
tion. The court suggested that
Dallas and Bexar Counties might
each receive an additional repre
sentative when the new mapping
is drawn up.
Custodian of the job is State
Rep. Gus Mutscher of Brenham,
who heads the House Committee
on Redistricting and has appoint
ed himself chairman of each of
its subcommittees.
ON BEHALF OF TEXAS A&M

Sweetheart and a senior nursing

major from Brookfield, Missouri,

“When you call a girl for a
date, identify yourself. Don’t just
say ‘This is John,’ because the
girl might have two boy friends
named John,” Miss Holmberg
advised.
“Girls are not all ‘golddiggers’
and many girls would rather the
boytake her someplace imagina
tive and fun that doesn’t cost a
lot of money,” she continued.
“IF YOU MAKE a date sev
eral weeks in advance, then it
would be best to call and reaffirm
the date and assure the girl that
you haven’t forgotten her,” Miss
Holmberg explained.
Miss Rich discussed “Driving
Etiquette” and “Formal and Din
ner Dates.”
“Don’t try to impress your date
with your driving. Your weaving
in and out of traffic and show
ing her how fast your car is
scares most girls.
“The boy must remember that
the girl likes to be able to look at
her date as her protector and her
big hero. Another point is that
this kind of driving is danger
ous,” Miss Rich said.
“When you use the girl’s car,
share the expenses and drive f*
carefully, or you may never use
the car again.
“Tell the girl where you will
be going when you go out to
dinner in order for her to know
what to wear,” she continued.
“WHEN THERE is to be a
formal dance, give the girl time to
prepare for it and always re
member to find out the color of
her dress before ordering the
flower,” she advised.
Kathi Austin spoke on when to
give gifts to your girl friend, and
when “Public Displays of Affec
tion” are favorable.
“Remember that all girls are
sentimental and most girls would
rather have some small inexpen
sive gift that had sentimental
value than an expensive one with
no sentimental value or from
someone whom she doesn’t like,”
Miss Austin advised.
If an Aggie ever has doubts
what to send a student at TWU,
then Miss Austin suggests roses.
Even one rose would mean very
much to a girl.
“Holding hands, an arm around
your girl or a little kiss on the
cheek,” Miss Austin said are per
missible signs of public displays
of affection.
“BUT THE BOY should re
member that people are watching
in front of dorms and in other
public places and the girl could
be embarrassed if the boy decides
to be too affectionate,” she
warned.
Kathy McLeod spoke on smok
ing and drinking and suggested
when and where these are accept
able.
“Don’t get drunk when out on
a date because you are respon
sible for your date’s protection,”
Miss McLeod warned.
“When you ask a girl for a
date and you know that there is
to be drinking, then tell her so
she can either tell you that she
doesn’t drink but that she would
like to go or else that she doesn’t
want to go out.”
“IF YOU ARE going out with
a girl that you don’t know very
well then when you start to smoke
offer her one or ask if she minds
your smoking,” Miss McLeod said.
Next Tuesday will be the last
of the series of programs when
four more students from TWU
speak on “Romance to Marriage.”
Combine your coffee break
with a visit to the polls Thurs
day. Thirteen class offices will
be filled in a runoff election.
