order to take a course on a pass
fail basis.
6) Professors shall not be in
formed of the students taking
their courses on a pass-fail basis
until after they have submitted
their grades to the Registrar’s
office.
7) Colleges may refuse to ac
cept students on a pass-fail basis
for courses requiring a prior in-
depth knowledge of the subject
matter.
8) The Registrar’s office may
retain a record of grades assigned
to students on the pass-fail sys
tem for internal purposes only.
Hartsfield explained that this
system, if recommended by the
senate and accepted by the uni
versity, would probably first come
into effect in courses offered by
the College of Liberal Arts.
Hartsfield explained that most
students would be involved in
courses of this type, including
those in all other departments.
If accepted, the system’s contin
uation and spread would depend
on its success in the College of
Liberal Arts.
The senate also voted to assist
international students in the
forming of an international stu
dents association.
“Foreign Students are not in
the mainstream of student life
here,” Fernando Giannetti, Schu
macher Hall president said. “They
are not fully experiencing the
pleasure of attending a univer
sity in the United States.”
Giannetti said an organization
for all foreign students would
benefit them educationally, allow
them to exchange ideas, adjust

Expel student troublemakers,
Mrs. Nixon says during talk
CHICAGO OP) —Mrs. Richard
M. Nixon said Thursday that
“education is a privilege and stu
dents should be expelled if they
just want to cause trouble.”
The First Lady added, however,
that “95 per cent of the students
in school today are there for an
education. Just a few manage to
damage the reputation of the
others.”
She made the comments when
asked what she thought of stu
dent violence on college campuses.
Mrs. Nixon, a former school
teacher who says she “knows of
no generation gap,” met with the
first graduates of a special Chi
cago school for dropouts. She en
couraged them to “work hard and
get your education and go right
up the ladder of success.”

more easily and participate more
in student life.
Kirby Brown, Issues Committee
chairman, said separate foreign
student organizations were al
ready present on campus, but
an organization encompassing all
foreign students would help pro
vide a better platform for solving
their problems.
Brown said though this organ
ization was still in the formu
lation stage, problems such as
closing of dormitories during va
cations when foreign students had
nowhere to go, and the serving
of certain foods some foreign
students can’t eat in the dining
halls could be discussed by an
organization of this type.
Brown gave the example of
Moslem students being unable to
eat ham because of their religious
belief.
Larry Altman, a representative
of the Singing Cadets, was then
given the floor to explain the
problems his organization was
having in receiving enough funds
to operate properly under its
present structure with the Me
morial Student Center. Altman
asked the Senate to aid the Sing
ing Cadets in getting a separate
fiscal budget directly from the
university.
Altman explained that while
the Singing Cadets were a major
force in building the university
image, they remain in a bad fi
nancial position because of lack
of funds. He gave the example
that the organization receives
only $1,000 plus expenses for five
days of work ending with repre
senting the university before 40
million viewers at the Miss Teen
age America Pageant.
He said that while record sales
and contributions help in the
choral group’s budget of about
$14,000 this year, $8,395 would be
needed from another source if
the group could continue with
the over 20 outside performances
planned this year. Altman added
that during the 1968-69 year, each
man had contributed about 1,150
hours for the group’s benefit.
This costs heavily in grade points
as well as finances, Altman said.
The senate then voted to sup
port the Singing Cadets’ move to
seek financial aid from the uni
versity. v
The senate passed two resolu
tions concerning the university
presidency. One resolution wel
comes Dr. Jack Williams, recently
appointed Texas A&M president,
and invites him to speak before
the senators. The second resolu
tion extends the appreciation and
congratulations of the Senate to
Acting A&M President A. R.
Luedecke.
AP analysis
Hijacking problem
tough to control
By WILLIAM L. RYAN
AP Special Correspondent
Secretary-General U Thant of
the United Nations says it’s time
for the international community
to take steps to control hijackers.
“But it’s going to be a tough
problem to crack, for a lot of
reasons.
One big reason is an indication,
by the record, that hijacking can
be an effective political tool.
Another is that nations in which
the piracies occur do not want
to do anything about it—or have
become helpless to stop it.
There are other reasons why
hijackers are likely to remain
major headaches to world trans
port for an indefinite future.
Hijacking for ransom not only
is an attractive weapon for ex
tremists, but it also does precise
ly what they want the most: it
calls attention of the world to
their demands.
In the United States, the Fed
eral Aviation Administration says
it has a mechanical deterrent sys
tem using metal-sensing devices
at ticket counters and boarding
gates. The FAA says this has
cut the number of hijackings this
year.
There are big differences be
tween the strictly Western Hem
isphere hijackings and the recent
ones involving the Arab guerril
las. The long series of hijackings
of U.S. planes to Cuba might
have set an example, but those
acts usually were the work of
individuals.
In the case of the Middle East,
the hijacking is carefully planned
and is executed by organizations
of combatants. It is equivalent to
an act of war. With organization
behind it, chances for success are
increased.
