THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, June 15, l&eT Arts Committee Announces Former sttideni Meeting For Film Series Hugh Philp Dies Darrell Campbell, chairman of the Contemporary Arts Commit tee announced a meeting of the committee to be held at 7:30 p.m. on Monday in the Birch Room of the MSC. Campbell said that all interest ed persons are invited to attend the meeting and should go by the Student Programs Office to give their r.s.v.p. “The committee is especially interested in recruiting persons who have seen or participated in film series at other universities, museums, or art centers,” Camp bell said. V/M _ & 7 “It was hard to do at first! In discussing the program Campbell said that the purpose of the meeting is to select fine international and classical films for a Film Series to be shown for the fall and spring semesters of next year. “A&M is one of the few uni versities without a Film Series,” remarked Campbell. “A&M stu dents are now seeing many mov ies courtesy of local theaters and t.v., but the challenge of the Con temporary Arts Committee is to present fine international and classical films ordinarily not shown in these other settings.” After The Degree Comes: ‘A-l? Sorry, No Jobs Open’ Nowlin Leaves For Navy Post The University degree with all the “honors and privi- leg'es” it affords cannot, unfortunately, solve all problems. At least, recent male graduates are having their share of troubles as they join the throngs of the United States working force. To many, there appear to be only two solutions — join the armed forces branch of their choice or wait, twiddling their thumbs till their local Selective Service boards come calling. For while Uncle Sam wants the bright young men, few prospective employers are willing to “risk” a man who doesn’t have his military obligations behind him. Many, therefore, find themselves between that prover bial rock and a hard place. Though the necessity of a strong military system is unchallenged, it is indeed a regrettable fact that these new University graduates are left in such a state of limbo. Though the position of the prospective employer is cer tainly understandable (i.e. he doesn’t have time to waste re training men every three months; he wants permanent help now), it can be pretty disheartening for the new graduate to find that his diploma — the so called key to golden op portunity — doesn’t fit the lock for immediate and necessary employment. —The Summer Texan Dr. Worth Nowlin, assistant professor of oceanography at Texas A&M, will join the ocean ographic branch of the Office of Naval Research on a year’s leave of absence, effective Sept. 1. Oceanography Head Dr. Rich ard A. Geyer said Nowlin will be involved in reviewing oceano graphic research programs throughout the country. “Dr. Nowlin will also continue his own research in physical oceanography,” Geyer added. The A&M professor will op erate from the Washington, D. C., ONR office under Fennen Jen nings, branch programs director, and visit Scripps, Woods Hole, Lament Geological Observatory, Miami, University of Washington and Oregon State oceanography institutions. — B-CS Jaycees Wage War On VD In Brazos County By BERT DUERER Battalion Special Writer Action is being taken by the Bryan-College Station Jaycees to combat the alarming growth of venereal disease in Brazos Coun ty. After learning of the problem from the Brazos County Health Department in January, the Jay cees took immediate action to initiate a public information pro gram on the dangers, causes and prevention of VD. Led by project chairman Jim Raatz, the Jaycees scheduled meetings with Parent-Teacher Associations, the Bryan and Col lege Station school boards, the Ministerial Society, educators and other interested community organizations, to determine a plan of action. “Our biggest need is a pro gram of awareness in the schools, churches, medical serv ices, and news media,” Raatz said. “This cannot be a single effort. It must be continuous to accomplish its purpose. Preven tion is our primary hope for de feating the long range problem.” The Jaycee program began by focusing on VD among teenagers. The committee works with and supplements the recently reor ganized Health Education Pro gram of the Bryan Public Schools. The program begins by alerting fifth and sixth grade students to the physical changes of puberty. Beginning in the sev enth grade students are present ed with facts of personal hy giene, health and communicable diseases. Raatz predicts future coeduca tional classroom study to pre pare teenagers for the problems of marriage and family life, and feels that preparing for the next generation is the “most impor tant single step in the eradica tion of veneral diseases.” Frank Brewer, president of B- CS Jaycees, and Raatz appeared on a local television program in April for their first contact with the general public with the proj ect. “Provoking parental interest and support is our biggest prob lem,” said Raatz. “Parents need to set examples, press for meet ings of the PTZ on the VD prob lem, and most important, explain it to their children.” 10,000 printed by the Jaycees presenting the problem in the lo cal community. Distribution of the pamphlets is made by local groups and the Jaycees. Some were placed on automobile windshields in major shopping centers. Others were mailed to those who wrote or called to request them. Raatz reports that after six months of the Jaycee project there has been an increase in the number of people reporting to medical authorities for check-ups and treatments. The Jaycees have allocated $200 for the VD project, and spent about $75 of this in the first six months. Most of the $75 was spent on cardboard ash trays printed with information about VD, and the telephone number of the County Health Unit. These are being distributed through the County Health Department to lo cal cafeterias, pool rooms, and lounges. Their presence is “be ginning to show results,” Raatz said. In 1966, Brazos County had more than 650 cases of VD re ported, and county health serv ices spent more than $10,000 for treatment of VD. It is estimated that this is only 20 percent of the total number of cases. Raatz said that the progress since the start of the project has been “slow but far from disap pointing,” and he sees a signifi cant future decrease in the amount of our tax money spent on drugs to fight VD. At The Grove A large part of the Jaycee project is the printing and dis tribution of pamphlets which alert the public to the problem, and provide facts about the caus es and treatment. More than 15,000 pamphlets have been distributed so far— 5,000 furnished by the State Health Department, and another Tonight: “Fall of the Roman Empire” Friday: “A Time to Love and a Time to Die” Saturday: “Man From Lara mie” Sunday: “The Prize” Monday: “Away All Boats” Tuesday: “Best of Enemies” Wednesday: “Guns of Nava- rone” THE BATTALION Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.
