board of directors, and that board has met with numerous
officials and political analysts to determine both the candi
dates to be presented on the ballot and the choice of ques

The results will appear in national magazines, news
papers, and on radio and television, and those results will
be an important indication of student sentiment for today’s
Presidential candidates.
McCarthy Urges
Ouster Of Rusk
PITTSBURGH WP>—Sen. Eu
gene J. McCarthy said Wednes
day night Dean Rusk should be
replaced by a new secretary of
state, to give evidence of admin
istration “willingness to change
its course” in the Vietnam war.
He said that would be an en
couraging sign that the White
House is prepared for “a process
of joint conciliation” with the
Communists to end the fighting.
The Minnesota senator roamed
Pittsburgh from the gates of a
steel plant to the office of Mayor
Joseph M. Barr in a day of cam
paigning for the Democratic pres
idential nomination.
McCarthy said he wants to face
Sen. Robert F. Kennedy of New
York in a man-to-man, televised
debate before their crucial May 7
contest in the Indiana presiden
tial primary.
He suggested a format similar
to the presidential campaign de
bates between John F. Kennedy
and Richard M. Nixon eight years
ago.
Answering telephoned questions
from viewers on KDKA-TV, Mc
Carthy said, “I think this would
Last December we asked for your opinion on a proposal
sent to A&M, as well as thousands of other colleges and uni
versities, for participation in a special election called “Choice
’68.”
Although there sseemed to be a lack of student interest,
A&M student government leaders were interested. For the
first time students would be able to participate in a Pres
idential election which would be “as important as the pri
mary in any contested state.”
Through the efforts of Clarence Daughterty, chairman
of the Issues Committee, and campus coordinator for Choice
’68, A&M will participate next Wednesday.
Underwritten by Time Magazine, the forthcoming elec
tion was organized by 11 student board representatives from
all regions of the country.
Although there seemed to be a lack of student interest,
more than 1,000 colleges and universities participating with
a combined enrollment of more than five million students.
There has been a recent outcry by a few students here
that A&M students are apathetic, that they don’t have an
outlet for their opinions, and that they reject present Viet
nam policy.
Choice ’68 will be the first great opportunity for stu
dents here and across the nation to make their presence
felt on the U. S. political scene.
By 1972, more than half the electorate will be under 30
years old, and next Wednesday’s election will give the first
indication of the views of the young.
“Never in the nation’s history have so many college
students been so well informed about the major issues of
the day. Yet, to a large extent isolated from their society,
they have little opportunity to express their political views
in a unified coherent manner,” says the group.
For almost every Presidential candidate the primary
will be important. Although more than 70 per cent of those
voting will not be old enough to vote in November, their
opinions will be felt by 1972.
Both Kennedy and McCarthy are drawing a great deal
of their support and active campaign promotion from col
lege students—those that will have the opportunity to vote
Wednesday.
For them, it will be an important indication of just
how strong and wide-spread that support is among all
campuses.
For the first time Nixon will be pitted on a ballot with
Ronold Reagan, Nelson Rockefeller, John Lindsay and
others.

know it’s a stop sig-n is by its
shape.”
N. W. Jackson of the Texas

“Our people,” Dr. Trotter noted,
“ga| into homes or places of busi

Trotter said there are more

Editor,
The Battalion:
It is a sorrowful situation when
students are subject to flunking
a course because the professor is
incompetent.
This professor is a graduate
student to my knowledge. If the
University has to use graduate
students to teach, it should use
those who have knowledge of the
subject and can pass this knowl
edge to the student.
There is a difference between
knowing the subject and being
able to pass it along. Professors,
good ones, know how to pass it
along. I don’t believe this stu
dent knows his subject or how to
pass it along.
The University should test
these graduate students to see if
they qualify for the teaching of
the course. If students are to be
subjected to this situation, it is
my opinion that they should be
permitted to drop the class with
out having to take the flunking
or WF, as the present policy does
not permit the student to drop a
class after the first two weeks
without getting a WF (withdraw
failing) even if the student is
passing the subject.
It is my hope that this situ
ation will be corrected in the near
future.
Santiago Iglesias, ’70

Vice President Wayne C. Hall
said A&M has very few grad
uate students in charge of
classes. Exceptions, he added,
are made to the WF policy
when the situation warrants.)
be a very good test between Sen.
Kennedy and me. I’m hopeful
that we’ll receive invitations to
appear together in Indiana and
in other states.”
McCarthy said he already has
received and accepted an invita
tion from the American Broad
casting Co. for a joint appearance
with Kennedy. He said he hopes
Kennedy will accept, too.
He said debates would be valu
able to help voters choose be
tween two candidates with simi
lar positions on most issues.
“You’re trying to decide which
man might make the better can
didate or the better president,”
he said.
ABC said in New York it had
not heard from Kennedy. The
network said no date’s been set,
but such a debate would prob
ably be carried sometime between
the June 11 Illinois primary and
the Democratic convention Aug.
26.
Kennedy said in Eugene, Ore.,
“I have said I will be glad to
meet all the candidates and de
bate them, but I would like it to
involve all the candidates.”

the goals being sought as solu
tions to these problems.
He said! that sometimes goals
are incomparable because they
affect society in completely dif
ferent ways.
An example used was the prob
lem of deciding whether a national
goal should be to put a man on
the moon or to clear the nation’s
slums. Neither of these tasks
could be accomplished solely with
present means.
“Some problems can be solved
only by enlarging the means we
use to solve those problems,” he
concluded.
