Deadline Approaches For Who’s Who
U. S. 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

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
