Views & World Rapport recently obtained an exclusive interview with Walter Reuth- less, head of the United Stu dents Association (USA), and asked about the expected strike against major colleges across the country. Q. Mr. Reuthless, in this year’s bargaining for new contracts, what is foremost on the agenda? A. Well, this year we’re push ing something which we’ve been pushing for several years now, and that’s a guaranteed annual GPR of at least a 1.5. Q. Just how do you justify such a demand? A. Simple. We feel that a student shows good faith when he signs up for a course at regis tration. This should automatically give him a 1.5 in the course be cause he has helped fill the class quota and thus enables the prof to have a class to teach, for which he is duly paid. Q. Then what you’re saying is that a student could pass a course by never attending class, is that true? A. Right. Understand, though, that this is only for the minimum GPR. Some students want to make high grades and will want to attend class regularly. For these students we want the num ber of allowable cuts per semester increased from three to fifteen. This is also a “local demand” for those students in the Department of Journalism at Texas A&M. We’re trying to get them 50 cuts per semester. Q. Is it also true that you want to abolish quizzes? A. Not so. We want to abolish quiz-taking. It makes a student feel inferior when others in class score higher than he on quizzes and causes him to be depressed. It’s discrimination. Quizzes should be optional. “high mortality rate.” We want a notation beside these courses which states: CAUTION: Taking this course may be hazardous to your GPR. Q. Do you think it would help? A. I seriously doubt it. Stu dents will take these courses be cause they’re required. But it will make some people happy to see it in print. Q. What about your demand for more say-so in the manner in which some courses are taught? A. Well, this is only in some areas, you understand. One par ticular area is in the School of Business. We find that students are being given an unrealistic point of view on what to expect in the world today. They’re being taught things like free enterpirse, non-government controls and the like. Today a person only needs to know one of two things: How to fill out an income tax return or the correct method of endors ing welfare checks. Q. What about local demands across the country? A. We have a few. For ex ample, at Texas A&M there are 2900. These include quiz files in the restrooms of the building in which the particular course is taught, free meals in the cafe teria and a share in its profits. Q. But how can it have profits if it gives you free meals? A. That’s their problem, not ours. Also, we want drinking fountains in every room and soft drink machines on every floor. the drinking fountains in every room? A. We got the pencil sharpen ers, didn’t we? Next we want student parking lots and faculty- staff lots completely reserved. We want traffic tickets abolished for students and the fines in creased on everyone else’s. Q. Mr. Reuthless, is it true that you are trying to expand your union into a worldwide organiza tion? If so, what is being done now ? A. Well, right now we’re think ing of expanding in Europe. We have a man now going from coun try to country with our cause. Q. And who is that? A. Charlie DeGaul. Q, I thought he had his nose in other affairs. A. Charlie’s nose is big enough for ALL affairs. Q. Mr. Reuthless, if your de mands aren’t met, when will you strike? A. If we don’t get a satisfac tory contract by Christmas, we’ll strike at the end of the semester and picket spring registration. Q. Is there a chance you’ll strike before then? A. Are you kidding? And lose all of this semester? Q. One final question, sir. What will you do if the colleges shut down and you don’t get back in school? A. Simple. We’ll go join the UAW and be plant sweepers. For $9,000 a year, who needs a college degree ? Texas A&M nominations for “Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Col leges” must be made by Friday, Dean of Students James P. Han- nigan announced. Forms for nominating seniors and graduate students are sup plied at ballot boxes in the Hous ing Office, Commandant’s Office and Memorial Student Center. Nominations also may be made through the various deans. A&M’s Who’s Who committee must screen 36 nominations for submission to the area office Fri day afternoon, Hannigan said. Deadline for nominations was set earlier this year.

Do you think you can get Marine Recruiters Will Visit Campus Sarge’s Recreation Q. This brings up the question of what you call “note sharing.” Would you explain that, please? A. Certainly. As you are prob ably aware, we have gone to court over this issue in the past. We think that the school administra tions should make it possible for a prof’s notes to be made avail able to the student before a quiz. This could be done by mimeo graphing with no trouble. If quiz questions come from a textbook, exact pages should be given to study. It’s only fair. Hard quizzes are on the upswing. Students should be allowed to know what’s on them beforehand. Q. What is the issue concern ing notations in the college cata logues? A. I’m glad you asked that question. Certain courses, such as English, Chemistry, Math, Span ish, etc., have what we call a Swingline Z&attbv Test yourself... What do you see in the ink blots? (TOT Staplers!? What in...)
