The presentation is set for 8 p.m. in G. Rollie White Coliseum. “Mantovani is not only a musi cian and showman,” commented Town Hall Chariman Robert Gon zales, “but an institution as well. He is ‘Mr. Music’ to millions of people on five continents.” Gonzales said Mantovani’s suc cess hinges on his renowned ar- rangementss of popular favorites. “He has evolved a unique style which not only enhances a com position but actually probes musi cal depths ignored by other ar rangers,” Gonzales noted. Mantovani’s 41-piece orchestra includes 32 instruments belonging to the string section. The maes tro’s emphasis on the strings brought this response from a “Time” magazine report of a Bos ton concert: ‘•‘Every song was al most without flaw as in a langor- ous dream and always giving a hint of something a little more respectable than a pop tune, as the massed strings soared to the discreet pulsation of a harp or guitar. . Among Mantovani’s favorites to be heard during the evening are “Greensleeves,” “Misty,” “Moulin Rouge,” “Always,” “Donkey Ser enade” and “Charmaine.” Add to these the Broadway hits of “Hello, Dolly” and “Sound of Music” to go with Mantovani ar rangements of “Yesterday” and “Spanish Flea.” Listed in the multi-talented musicians more serious composi tions. are “Poem to the Moon,” “Dance of the Eighth Veil,” and works for the piano. “Cara Mia” and “Tania” rank as favorites with his American audiences, along with his newest composi tion, “Toy Shop Ballet.” Mantovani is ranked as the first artist to have sold a million stereo recordings. His stereo sales now exceed five million recordings and he has 12 albums which have gained gold disks, indicating they have passed the quarter-million mark in sales. Born in Venice, Mantovani moved with his family to London when he was four. But he claims to be neither Italian nor British. As the critics write: “Mantovani is as international as his music.” Cutler Says Crises Affect Students International crises always af fect scholars and students, noted Dr. Howard A. Cutler, executive vice president of the Institute of International Education, in a talk Friday at Texas A&M University. also packages projects for action which define need, objectives and roles of colleges and universities, community service groups, foun dations, governmental units, and cooperating sister organizations.” E \Y ?rson 1 V Y S E E” L VT. I TT. Cutler, a former president of the University of Alaska and a frequent speaker at A&M’s Stu dent Conference on National Af fairs, said the Institute of Inter national Education makes con tinuous attempts to define and assess issues and problems of in ternational education. “The HE makes constant ef forts to contact the interested, concerned and involved parties in international e d u c a t i o n,” he pointed out. “The organization Nitze Says U. S. Not Threatened By Orbital Bomb WASHINGTON An or bital nuclear bomb system re portedly being developed by the Soviet Union should not be con sidered a terror weapon, Defense Department officials told a con gressional committee Monday. Paul H. Nitze, Deputy Secre tary of Defense, said the Soviets’ present intercontinental ballistic missiles could be more destructive than a nuclear weapon fired from orbit. And he echoed Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara’s contention that this country has fully adequate deterrent power against the ICBMs. Nitze told the military appli cations subcommittee of the Senate - House Committee on Atomic Energy that the United States now has superiority in deterrent power and will main tain it in quantity and quality. Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D.- Wash., subcommittee chairman, commented, “Personally, I feel reassured,” at the conclusion of the initial hearing. The subcommittee plans exten sive hearings, scheduled to extend into 1968, on U. S. defenses against nuclear missiles. The study was announced prior to McNamara’s disclosure last Friday that the Soviet Union apparently is developing a system to fire a nuclear bomb from a vehicle put into at least a partial orbit. Nitze and Dr. John S. Foster, director of defense re search and engineering at the Pentagon, stressed the view that an orbital bomb does not pose any surprisingly new and dangerous development. DR. CUTLER was among the featured speakers for a regional conference of the National Asso ciation for Foreign Student Af fairs and the Institute of Inter national Education. In a talk about mental health of foreign students, Dr. Lannes H. Hope, counseling psychologist at A&M declared that too often for eign students find themselves “mowed down” in courses in which they do not understand the professors.” “Orientation needs to be a gradual process,” Dr. Hope re marked. “It would be good if we could keep some of these inter national students six months or more without having them en rolled in formal courses.” Hope said it is a cultural shock for international students to come to the United States, espe cially since new experiences come so fast and furious. “FIFTY PER cent of our fresh men’s education comes outside the classroom,” Hope commented. “This is not so for the foreign student. We cannot expect for eign students to bury themselves in their books month after month for years.” “Seldom do we find interna tional students who cannot do the academic work here,” Hope con tinued. “It would be helpful if we would do more to make them feel at home.” David H. Gillard, director of programs at American Friends of the Middle East Headquarters in Washington, D. C., touched light ly on problems of students during the recent Arab-Israeli War. “THE MAIN idea of the people was each other’s safety,” Gillard noted. “The provision for educa tion slipped far down the priority list during the conflict.” “All of us live in critical times,” Gillard continued. “And all of us need to determine what is basically important in times of crisis.” Gillard made a plea in behalf of Arab-American relations, ask ing that Americans seek out the truth about the Arabs’ position in the Middle East dispute. He claimed people too often take Arabs for granted. The speaker contended most Americans do not realize that people in Arab countries are struggling toward modernization of their society. The three-day conference ends with a Saturday morning work shop headed by Dr. John Bordie of the University of Texas. bb&l Bryan Building & Loan Association, Your Sav ings Center, since 1919. —Adv.

Hargett Passes For Three TD’s By GARY SHERER Battalion Sports Editor Recently one of the national television networks embarked on what they called “the second sea son.” Last Saturday afternoon in the Fayetteville wilderness, the Aggies wrapped up the fourth win of THEIR second season. The Arkansas Razorbacks were the fourth victim of the four- victory Maroon and White up surge, 33-21, at the Hog - s own stamping grounds. ONCE AGAIN, it was a team effort that produced the victory. But, as in othe other three suc cesses, some notable contributions from Edd Hargett and Larry Ste gent helped along the win. As the evening fell on the day of the Aggies’ latest addition to their victory skein, one could only feel that this 1967 season has been two seasons in one. The first season was not as successful as pre-season predic tions had foreseen. After four games, the Maroon and White stood at 0-4. But, the night of Oct. 14 at Lubbock brought a new season forth that has con tinued up to Saturday’s victory. THE SECOND season has brought the Aggies to first place in the Southwest Conference standings with a 4-1 mark. It has produced the SWC leader in passing as well as one of the con ference’s best runners and a top scorer and probably the league’s most reliable ounter. It all doesn’t end on offense. The second season has spawned one of the most larcenous defen sive secondary’s to put on the Maroon and White togs in many a year. It has seen two of the tacklingest linebackers in many a 10-gamer and the rest of the defense has caused misery to en emy runners and passers. All this was in evidence, as the Aggies nailed down the victory Saturday afternoon with 19 fourth quarter points as a sad dened Frank Broyles paced the West sidelines. The Arkansas mentor had never tasted defeat at the hands of the Aggies. Also, this was Arkansas’ “homecom ing game” and the Porkers hadn’t lost one of those in six years. THE AGGIE WIN also broke another bothersome streak. It was the first time an A&M foot ball team had scored on the Raz orbacks in three years. And most important to this crew of Aggie footballers, made up for the 34-0 shellacking the Razorbacks got away with last season at College Station. This Aggie second season has produced one of the most prolific passers in A&M history. Edd Hargett’s talented wares were in display in this game. However, the junior field general only threw three times in the first quarter, with one complete. Instead, Hargett and Stegent took turns running at the Arkan sas forward wall in the first quarter. It turned out success fully as the Maroon and White drove 90 yards for the first score of the day. The one pass com pletion did help, a 23-yarder to Tom Buckman to keep the drive going. BUT, IT WASN’T until the third quarter with the Aggies down 14-7, that Hargett unveiled his artillery. When he did, his 13 of 23 aerials led to the demise of the Hogs, who are now 2-4-1 on the season and 1-2-1 in SWC play. Hargett’s partner in offense, tailback Stegent, also made his presence felt to the capacity 41,- 000 spectators. His 73 yards rush ing give him 305 yards for the last three games of this second season. er had to be Aggie Coach Gene Stallings. The Aggie head man and his energetic staff had worked hard these past four weeks to bring the Aggies to their present lofty status. It will take three more weeks of strenu ous practice to bring something to A&M that has been missing for some 11 years. THAT ELUSIVE item is an in vitation to the Cotton Bowl. TV’s second season was made up of several shows to make it successful. The Aggies’ second season has been made up of four wins so far, it needs two more oops — correction — three m ore wins to make it equally as suc cessful. LBJ’s Popularity At Record Low, Two Polls Show WASHINGTON UP)—Two na tional polls agree President John son’s popularity is at a record low, with one of them showing no improvement in the President’s appeal to the American public for more than two months. A poll by Louis Harris pub lished Monday in the Washington Post shows Johnson losing to six possible Republican opponents if he were to run against them now. The Gallup Poll also reported Monday 38 per cent of those questioned approved of Johnson’s actions, 50 per cent disapproved of the way he is handling his job and 12 per cent with no opinion. The American Institute of Pub lic Opinion, which conducts the Gallup Poll, said 40 per cent of those questioned in late August approved of the President’s ac tions and 38 per cent responding in September approved of the President’s actions.

Pedestrian Hurt In Auto Accident An apparent hit-and-run acci dent Monday night in front of Sbisa Dining Hall now appears to be a case of assault, reports Campus Security Chief Ed Powell. Powell said Ronald H. Mehlen, an eighth-year biology student and lab instructor from Winston- Salem, N. C., was knocked down at 11:10 p.m. as he walked across the street toward his room in Dorm 22. He was lying uncon scious in the street when officers arrived at the scene. Mehlen was treated for facial cuts at the university hospital and was being held today for observation for a possible con cussion. Powell theorizes the student was hit in the face by an occu pant of the passing car, rather than being struck by the vehicle. Mehlen told officers he does not remember being hit by the vehicle. The chief said there was no indication that Mehlen and the occupants of the vehicle knew each other. Officers were continuing their investigation this morning. They have been furnished a license number by a student who wit nessed the incident. First Bank & Trust now pays 5% per annum on savings certif icates. —Adv.
