Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Wednesday, February 5, 1969 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle “I didn’t register for a Monday 8 o’clock class—a computer did. So let th’ computer meet th’ class!” That Phone System Yesterday’s “Listen Up” letter once again raised a gripe about the Centrex system in particular and telephone service here in general, A Battalion interview last semester with a telephone company official indicated an apparent lack of actual griping to the company—which may account for continued griping without results. So we’ve planned a Battalion Intelligent Telephone Crit icism Happening for tonight. Between 6:30 and 11:30 p. m., reporters Tom Curl and David Middlebrooke will take calls from students (and anybody else) who have had problems with the telephones and who wouldn’t mind being quoted in a Batt story. The collection of responses may help shed some light on the situation—possibly enough to bring about improvements in the service. The number to call is 845-2611, between 6:30 and 11:30. And if the line’s busy . . . keep trying. •X the graduate By MITTY C. PLUMMER This “Graduate” is intended to outline some of the events plan ned by the Graduate Student Council for this spring. It prob ably isn’t complete because some body is lurking around with a few big surprises. The GSC will present the New Graduate Student Orientation Program at 3:30 p.m. Feb. 19, in room 113 of the Biology Building. New graduate students and grad uating seniors interested in going to graduate school can get a pre view of the requirements of the graduate college for an advanced degree from Dean G. W. Kunze. So try to make it. There will be cookies and coffee to sooth the body while the brain is coming around to the conclusion that it has been tricked onto a track with more hurdles than can be seen from the starting gate. form through the departmental mail. Then ballots with the names of the nominees from your college will be mailed out by the same means on March 24. Here comes the peculiar part: all of the candidates from your college come around asking for your bal lot and vote, or you turn it in to the Graduate College by 5 p.m. April 1. So vote. Decisions of the election committee are final. Next year’s council will be big ger and hopefully better than ever. SOMETIME THIS spring there might be a struggle for Student Senate reapportionment. The Graduate Student Council, like everyone else, will be in there trying to get as big a hunk of it as possible. Being 20 percent of the student body with only 10 percent of the seats on the Sen ate makes for hungry represen tatives. We’ll try for a fair 20 percent if changes are made. IN A well-meaning effort to improve the graduate students’ dragging social life, the GSC will sponsor a Spring Dance, and it’s a good one. This year it will be held May 2 at the K.C. Hall. There will be a good band, free cokes and sevenups and a bunch of us quiet, conservative types turned loose. As of now, the price for tickets is not set, but it’ll be cheap. The Graduate Student Council will hold its peculiar form of elections again this spring. Nom inations will be accepted in the Graduate College office between March 3 and March 18 for the new representatives from each of the seven colleges. Graduate stu dents will receive a nomination Finally, in May there will be the change of leadership on the Graduate Student Council with the election of new officers by the council. It will be about then that this column will get a new author. But before that happens, I plan to give my views on a few of the facts of A&M life. I prob ably will not tell it like it is. In stead I’ll tell it like eight years here has warped my vision. So that is what to expect from the Council this spring. You can anticipate something entirely dif ferent from another group—your profs, who are also interested in seeing your time well spent. AP News Analysis Obstacles To Viet Truce Look Insurmountable Now By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Special Correspondent PARIS CP) — The latest ex position of South Vietnam’s case by Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky illustrates just how tangled the issues and far apart the sides are in the Vietnam peace talks. As the four delegations prepare for another session Thursday, the prediction, generally, is that the road ahead is long, tough and strewn with obstacles which at this time seem insurmountable. Each side says the next move is up to the other. Neither shows an inclination to move away from stated positions. KY SAID in an impromptu news conference Monday that the first thing that must be discussed is, “How to end the war of ag gression by Communist North Vietnam against South Vietnam.” The North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong’s National Liberation Front say the first order of busi ness must be, “An end to the U.S. aggression.” Thus South Vietnam in effect demands that its adversaries con cede in advance that they are ag gressors, and North Vietnam and the Viet Cong in effect demand that the Americans concede in advance they are the aggressors. THIS DOES not prevent Amer icans here from expressing con fidence that in the long pull some thing positive will result from the talks. But the operative word is “long.” Ky said his government has made concessions and is willing to make more.

Formosa Troop Pullout Seen As Key To Accord With China By JOHN RODERICK TOKYO 'A 5 ) — China watchers believe that any steps the Nixon administration takes to improve relations with Red China will fail unless the United States agrees to withdraw its forces from For mosa. President Nixon is reported planning to propose to Peking some relaxation of travel and communication restrictions as a first move in a thaw of relations. Nixon’s diplomatic probe is ex pected to be made when suspended ambassadorial meetings are re sumed in Warsaw, Poland, at Red China’s suggestion Feb. 20. CHINA WATCHERS noted that in calling for the renewed talks, Red China in an official New China News Agency dispatch Nov. 26 said it would not be sat isfied with “side issues.” Saying Red China has repeat edly told the United States that it will never “barter away prin ciples,” the agency asserted: “If the U.S. side continues its current practice of haggling over side is sues, no result whatsoever will come of the Chinese-U.S. ambas sadorial talks no matter which administration assumes office in the United States.” SOME OFFICIALS in Wash ington grasped at the statement that the United States should agree to reach an agreement with Red China on the five Peking principles of peaceful coexistence. They saw this as a possible sign the Chinese want better relations. The principles are respect for territorial integrity, noninterfer ence, equality, nonaggression and living together in peace. These officials, however, ig nored the first part of Hsinhua’s declaration which said: “First, the U.S. government undertakes to immediately withdraw all its armed forces from China’s terri tory Taiwan, Formosa, Province and the Taiwan Strait area and dismantle all its military instal lations in Taiwan Province.” U.S. administrations have re peatedly offered person-to-person exchanges and other smaller olive branches to Peking only to be rebuffed.

If you’ve ever resorted to NoDoz®at4a.m. the night before an exam, you’ve probably been disappointed. NoDoz, after all, is no substitute for sleep. Neither is anything else we can think of. What NoDoz is is a very strong stim ulant. In fact, NoDoz has the strongest stimulantyoucan buy withouta prescrip tion. Caffeine. What’s so strong about that? If we may cite 7/?e Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics: Caffeine is a powerful central nervous stimulant. Caf feine excites all portions of the central nervous system. Caffeine stimulates all portions of the cortex, but its main action is on the psychic and sensory functions. It produces a more rapid and clearer flow of thought and allays drowsiness and fatigue. After taking caffeine, one is ca pable of more sustained intellectual ef fort and a more perfect association of ideas. There is also a keener apprecia tion of sensory stimuli. Very interesting. But why take in a NoDoz when you can get caffeine cup of coffee? Very simple. You take NoDoz all at once instead ofsipping coffee for 10 min utes. And if you take two NoDoz tablets, the recommended dosage, you get twice the caffeine in a cup of coffee. Two tablets—isn’t that likely to be habit forming? Definitely not. NoDoz is completely non-habit forming. Which means it’s safe to take whether you’re cramming at night. Or about to walk into an 8 o’clock class. Or driving somewhere (even though you’re rested) and the monotony of the road makes you drowsy. One last thing you should know about NoDoz. It now comes i n two forms. Those familiar white pills you take with water. And a chewable tablet called NoDoz Action Aids". It tastes like a choc olate mint, but it does everything regular NoDoz does.
