Barnes Platform To Aid Education “Education would be my main concern if elected Lieutenant Governor,” Democratic Candidate Ben Barnes said in an interview before making a non-political speech to the A&M Women’s Social Club Friday. Barnes cited as examples some of the bills that have come into being during his tenure as Speak er of the Texas House of Repre sentatives. He said teachers’ sal aries are higher than ever before in the state’s history, and that Texas is providing “a more well- rounded education than any time in the state’s history. Referring to his previous ex perience, which included two suc cessive terms as speaker, Barnes said, “I don't think my opponent has near the experience that I have.” Barnes cited figures showing Texas the the fourth largest state in incoming revenues, but 44th in the amount of school taxes the state paid. that Texans are responsible enough to realize this.” Barnes said contrary to asser tions circulated by Doug DeCluitt, his opponent, that he did not look up on the office of Lieutenant Governor “as a stepping-stone to Washington.” When asked what he would do if Republican candidate for Gov ernor Paul Eggers were elected, Barnes had this comment: “I can see no trouble in work ing with Eggers if he thinks of the people of Texas first and does not use his victory to bolster the Republican Party.” HE SAID leadership in local communities and Negro leaders have worked together to provide better understanding than in most other states. “The reason that more race incidents have not occurred in Texas is that Governor Connally has reacted swiftly when there have been symptoms of trouble,” said Barnes. THE HIGH illiteracy rate among Negroes and Mexican- I Americans was commented on by I Barnes. He said that Negroes and Mexican-Americans are being inferiorly educated and local school districts pay less money in support of public school sys tems than do localities in 46 other states. “We can no longer afford the luxury of living off the federal government, we must assume our I responsibilities,” he added. “New J taxes will be needed and I think OUTFIT PICTURES AGGIELAND ’69 Uniform will be Class A Winter.

(AP Wire- photo) O-graphers Study Effects Of Gladys Aggie oceanographers aboard the university’s research ship Alaminos will study the after effects of Hurricane Gladys on Gulf of Mexico waters. Additional research in gulf pri mary productivity and equisys- stems also will be made on the 13-day cruise involving scientists from Mexico, Norway and the University of Florida. Members of the ship’s scientific complement will be Dr. Sayed Z. El-Sayed, chief scientist; Dr. Richard A. Geyer and Dr. Guy a Franceschini of A&M, Dr. Thomas Hopkins pf the University of West Florida, and Dr. Grethe Knox To Address Marketing Society The marketing Society will meet tonight at 7:30 p.m. in Rooms 2A and B of the Memorial Student Center. Royce Knox, ’64, assistant re gional manager of Hunt-Wesson Food Inc., will address the group. All students are invited to at tend, according to Ken Sluis, publicity chairman. R. Hasle of Oslo, Norway, A&M Visiting professor for the next six months. ON THE FIRST leg of the cruise, the Alaminos will pick up two Mexican scientists at the Marine Biological Institute at Veracruz. “The ship will then steam along a diagonal course across the gulf toward Tampa, Fla.,” noted El- Sayed. Franceschini, who made a simi lar cruise two years ago to study effects of Hurricane Inez will determine hydrography changes at the same stations the ship oc cupied in the 1966 investigation. He recently reported earlier findings at a German symposium. El-Sayed said the diagonal course will fill gaps of previous productivity research in the Northeast and Western Gulf- Dr. Hasle, specialist on Antarctic di atoms, will make a comparative study on the Gulf organisms. HOPKINS’ WORK will be on the feeding relationship of phyto plankton and organisms which depend on them. The second pro ducers study will involve small fishes and crustaceans.
