Their statement about fewer ‘Yankees’ and more Texans has, we feel, as much intellectual logic as the infamous “Highway 6 runs both ways.” We believe that a student’s race, creed, or resident status has Faculty (Continued from page 1) get the board to review the case if the AAUP would take A&M off the censured list. President Rudder was also opposed to pay ing some $7,000 or $8,000 that Gibbs said the university owed him in salary, Davenport added. Davenport said he replied that the AAUP probably would not consider the Gibbs case any fur ther until the university’s govern ing board had reviewed the case and settled with Gibbs’ money claims. Dr. Richard Ballinger, English professor, urged the chapter rec ommend to acting President A. R. Luedecke that he ask the board of directors to review the case. no bearing upon whether he (or she) should or should not be per mitted to express his opinions at this university. If these were the deciding factors as to his rights, then A&M would be losing some great talent and violating the First Amendment of the Con stitution. Last time we heard, Texas was still a part of the United States. John Vinas ’72 J.

Professor William Saitta of Business Analysis reported that his Committee S on students plans to arrange a meeting with student leaders to discuss stu dent problems. Dr. Krise, chairman of Commit tee A on academic freedom and tenure, said that his panel was investigating possible “discre tionary” action the university may have taken against AAUP members. He said that he would be examining salary and budget records from the last five years to determine if such a practice exists. The A&M AAUP chapter has 177 active members, the largest it has ever been, according to membership chairman Bruno J. Zwolinski, a research director in the Chemistry Department. More than 777,000 veterans, servicemen, wives, widows and children will receive increased educational allowances under a bill signed recently by the Pres ident. All trainees under the G.I. Bill and other VA educational pro grams were assured by Donald E. Johnson, Administrator of Vet erans Affairs, that they will re ceive the increases automatically and retroactive to Feb. 1. He stressed that it is not necessary to contact the VA to receive them. Johnson said most of those studying under the G.I. Bill in in stitutions of higher learning will receive one check about May 10, which will reflect the new regular monthly rate, and include retro active increases from February through April. The bill increases from $130 to $175 a month the rate for sin gle G.I. Bill veterans studying in an institutional full-time pro gram. A veteran with one dependent will receive $205 a month, two de pendents $230, and $13 for each additional dependent. Rates are scaled downward for less then full-time students. Single G.I. Bill students going three-quarter time will receive $128 a month, $152 with one de pendent, $177 with two depen dents, and $10 a month for each additional dependent. Half-time G.I. students! will re ceive $81 if they have no depen dents, $100 with one dependent, $114 with two dependents and $7 for each additional dependent.

It will greatly lessen the chances of unconquerable differences arising in the marirage, he said. “Divorce is not wrong,” Ham ilton said, “especially when it is needed. But a little help before marriage will greatly lessen the chances of it ever happening.” “One of the best things you can do before marriage,” he said, “is take a good long second look. You might be surprised at what you see.” BUSIER AGENCY SEAL ESTATE • INSURANCE F.H.A.—Veterans and Conventional Loans ARM & HOME SAVINGS ASSOCIATION Home Office: Nevada, Mo. 3523 Texas Ave. (in Ridgecrest) 846-3708 NSF Awards Grant For Study of Gases Dr. Marvin W.
