Talk With Dollar
By LEWIS GULICK reporter asked about “intellectual
WASHINGTON (JP)—Abandon- critics of the war” including
ing his usual calm, Secretary of
State Dean Rusk turned vigor
ously Thursday on critics of the
administration’s Vietnam policy
-particularly Sen. J. W. Ful-
bright.
“I would say that it is not
true,” Rusk said of one conten
tion by the Arkansas Democrat
and chairman of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee: that
the United States is not really
trying very hard to get the United
Nations into a Vietnam peace
making role.
RUSK SAID the Communists
are barring a U.N. role and that
Hanoi is not interested in negoti
ating. Nonetheless Rusk pro
nounced himself “encouraged by
progress toward peace in South
Vietnam’ through military op
erations, pacification and internal
political advances.
The secretary of state fired his
defensive volleys in an unusually
long news conference—nearly an
hour—beginning with a prepared
900-word “brief comment on the
current public discussion of Viet
nam.”
COMBINED with House
Speaker John McCormack’s re
cent denunciation of congressional
critics of President Johnson’s
Vietnam course, Rusk’s meeting
with newsmen appeared to be
part of an administration cam
paign. Besides, the State Depart
ments ’head was reported person
ally fed up with much of the
antiwar talk on Capitol Hill.
With what sometimes sounded
like rising temper, Rusk had some
(art responses to questions con
cerning Vietnam policy critics
outside Congress.
“I HAVE great respect for in
tellectuals, but I don’t feel that
I'm intimidated by them,” Rusk, a
one time professor, said when a

Enrollment High
Increases in both freshman and
graduate enrollment are reflected
in Texas A&M’s record 12,029 stu
dents this fall, reports Registrar
H. L. Heaton.
Heaton said final tabulations
show 2,224 entering freshmen, a
new high. The previous record
was 2,184 established last fall.
Graduate enrollment is up 202,
even though a record 719 gradu
ate students were awarded de
grees this year. Current enroll
ment in the Graduate College is
2,259, also an all-time high.
A gain of almost 200 has been
reported in the number of women
attending A&M. The total this
fall is 770, compared to 578 last
year, again a record.
The number of foreign students
declined slightly, from 633 to 580.
University officials said a large
number of completions of study
programs during the summer ac
counts for the drop.
former administration aides Ar
thur Schlesinger Jr., and Roger
Hilsman.
Of the many foreign ministers
at the U.N. General Assembly
opening who called for a halt in
the U.S. bombing of North Viet
nam, Rusk said he has found none
who would change his attitude on
U.S. policy if Washington did halt
the air attacks.
THE SECRETARY steered
clear of naming any individual
senator but his targets were obvi
ous. And he hinted not too subtly
that some critics do not seem to
know what they are talking about.
“People at least should make
it clear whether they are arguing
with Washington or with Hanoi,”
he said.
“When people talk about a
pause in the bombing, they should
know that Hanoi calls a pause an
‘ultimatum’. When a senator says
that he wants to stop the bombing
but, of course, wishes to continue
to bomb in support of our Marines
south of the demilitarized zone,
he should know that Hanoi cate
gorically rejects any such no
tion.
“WHEN PEOPLE say ‘negoti
ate now’ they should know that
the President would meet with Ho
Chi Minh and other chiefs of
state concerned, tomorrow.
“Literally dozens of proposals
made by ourselves, other govern
ments or groups of governments
have been rejected by Hanoi.
“A senator the other day was
asked what his alternative was
for Vietnam, and he said, ‘Well,
I would like to see a Geneva
Conference.’ Well, he is not arg
uing with Washington. We have
tried over and over again to use
the Geneva machinery.”
Rusk saw no problem with the
proposal by the new South Viet
namese president, Nguyen Van
Thieu, for a week’s bombing pause
to get Hanoi into negotiations.
He said the difficulty lies with
Hanoi’s rejection of this type of
offer, including Johnson’s Sept.
29 propositions.

Navy Pilots Hit
New Haipong Sites
SAIGON (A*) — Two shipyard
facilities in Haiphong, heretofore
on the Pentagon’s restricted list
of targets, were attacked for the
first time in the Vietnam war
Thursday, the U.S. Command an
nounced Friday.
A broadcast dispatch from
Hanoi said Haiphong raiders had
hit “a number of populated places
inside the city and its suburbs.”
It claimed ground fire had
downed two planes.
U.S. spokesmen said that in
jheavy raids around Haiphong,
Navy pilots also made repeated
strikes on the Cat Bi airfield,
capable of handling Communist
Mig interceptors, and on the city’s
army barracks. The airfield is
four miles southeast of the center
of Haiphong; the barracks is
three miles south of the heart of
the city, North Vietnam’s key
port.
Lt. Gov. Preston Smith and
Speaker of the House Ben Barnes
head a list of 80 top state govern
ment, business, labor and organ

“Texas Assembly-1967” at Texas
A&M.
“Texas Assembly-1967,” joint
ly sponsored by Texas A&M and
Columbia University’s American
Assembly, is one of 13 seminars
scheduled throughout the nation
exploring the same subject,
“State Legislatures in American
Politics.”
Other top state officials sched

ing include Attorney General
Crawford Martin, Secretary of
State John Hill, State Senators
Ralph Hall, William T. Moore
and A. R. Schwartz and State
Representatives R. H. Cory, David
Crews, DeWitt Hale, Gus Muts-
cher and John Wright.
BOTH BARNES and Smith will
make keynote addresses during
second-day activities.
Herbert L. Wiltsee of Atlanta,
Ga., director of the Southern of
fice of the Council of State Gov
ernments, will be featured speak
er for the opening-day meeting.
The American Assembly was
established by Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower at Columbia Univer
sity in 1950 as a national, non
partisan educational institution.
It is dedicated to the principles
of informed talk and is an instru
ment for voicing the opinions of
both the expert and lay citizen
on significant public issues.
The legislators and other state
officials will join in panel dis
cussions with many of the state’s
business, professions and labor
leaders and representatives of the
“capitol press.”
THE “TEXAS Assembly-1967”
agenda includes three in-depth
panel sessions, in addition to the
opening plenary and various meal
sessions and a final general meet
ing for debate and adoption of
recommendations.
Each panel session will have
three separate sections, all meet
ing simultaneously and delving
into the same specific aspects of
the Texas Legislature. The panels
are to be “balanced” with repre
sentatives from the Legislature,
business, labor, associations and
the professions.

FORT WORTH </P> _ Lt. Gov.
Preston Smith expressed confi
dence Thursday that he could de
feat Gov. John Connally in a
showdown for the governor’s
chair.
But he said again he doubts
that Connally will seek a fourth
term.
Connally has not yet said
whether he will seek re-election.
Smith was here to address the
Texas Association of County
Judges and Commissioners. Con
nally and other state officials
speak Friday.
Smith said in an interview that
if he is elected governor he will
seek approval of a constitutional
amendment that would limit a
Texas governor to a single term
of four years.
In his speech, Smith told some
1,100 county judges and commis
sioners that “seeds of rebellion
are sown” when government vio
lates the peoples’ rights.
“People will bear almost in
describable hardships if they feel
they are being treated justly,”
Smith said.
“However, the very founda
tions of life are shaken when
they feel they are victims of in
justice.”
He added, “You and I must
make every possible effort to
avert such injustices while dealing
with the people of our state. But
safeguarding such rights is not
enough. We must go the extra
step when ever possible, which
freguently means the differences
between serving our citizens and
merely placating them.”

On Education
Three books by Dr. T. M.
Stinnett of Texas A&M will be
published within the next six
months.
The visiting professor’s “Man
ual on Certification Requirements
for School Personnel in the U.S.”
will be appearing soon on book
shelves.
It is one of a series published
every three years by NEA, for
which Stinnett was assistant
executive secretary for profes
sional development and welfare.
The 300-page manual contains
certification requirements for
each teaching position of school
systems in all 50 states.
“The series is quoted and re
ferred to as often in educational
literature as any other,” noted
Dr. Paul Hensarling, A&M Edu
cation Department head.
MacMillan of London will pub
lish “Turmoil in Teaching” and
“Professional Problems of Teach
ers.” “Turmoil in Teaching” is
a 500-page history of the fight
between professional organiza
tions and unions, traced to 1902.
Stinnett said the volume is de
signed for general reading and
will serve as a collateral text for
college education students. It will
come off presses later this year.
“Professional Problems of
Teachers” is the third edition of
a widely accepted college text
that will appear in early 1968.

CE Students Go
To ASCE Meet
Civil engineering students and
faculty attended the Texas section
fall meeting of the American So
ciety of Civil Engineers Oct. 6
and 7 in Abilene.
The six students who went were
Ronnie Evans, Kenneth Korb, Ed
Otten, Peter Schneider, Andrew
Sikes, and Ferdinand Thomas.
Dr. Wayne Dunlap, faculty ad
viser of the Texas A&M ASCE
Student Chapter, attended along
with six civil engineering profes
sors who presented papers. Those
giving talks were Spencer Bu
chanan, Dr. Harry Coyle, Dr.
Tom Edwards, Dr. T. J. Hirsch,
Milton Radke, and Dr. V. G.
Stover.
The faculty attended civil en
gineering technical m e e t i n gs,
while the students attended busi
ness sessions as well as technical
meetings. The A&M Student
Chapter will elect a vice-presi
dent to represent them in the
Texas ASCE Student Chapters.
Dr. Dunlap said he was pleased
with the number of students that
were present from here compared
with the number that were pres
ent from other schools.
with Dollar and his staff was to
present likes and dislikes for con
sideration by the food services
personnel.
Dean of Students James P.
Hannigan explained that Texas
A&M receives no state-appropri
ated funds to run the mess halls
and must pay for all food out of
board charges.
Dollar said of the approximate
ly 40 different meat items served
in a five-week period, seconds
were available on all but 13 kinds.
Students present at the meet
ing were Cadet Colonel of the
Corps Lonnie Minze, Pat Rehmet,
Francis Bourgeois, Danny Ruiz,
Hector Guiterrez, Bob Hale, Juan
Lopez and Charles Rowton. Gripes
concerning any facet of the food
program should be directed to one
of these students or anyone on
Corps Staff, Dollar said.
Dollar said any suggestion to
improve food service would be
listened to and adopted if finan
cially possible.
A shortage of waiters still ex
ists. According to Dollar, this
has not been a problem in past
years. Civilians have been hired
for waiting positions not filled by
Corps members. Approximately
10 waiting positions remain un
filled.
Dollar requested Corps mem
bers to make an effort to be out
of the mess hall by 7:15 p.m. so
that the help could begin the
cleaning-up process. He empha
sized the fact that they did not
want to run freshmen out of the
mess hall before they had had a
chance to eat and that this could
only be done with the help of
Corps upperclassmen.
The noon sessions with the Food
Service staff will be a monthly
affair for both Corps and civilians.
The civilian committee met with
Dollar and his staff last week.
