THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Wednesday, September 23, 1970 AP news analysis CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle Tide going against Hussein BEIRUT, Lebanon <^P) — After six days of fighting, the tide seems to be turning against Jor dan’s King Hussein. The invasion from Syria over whelmed his 40th Armored Regi ment in north Jordan and de prived him of the quick military victory that seemed within his reach. The bloodshed wrought by Hus sein’s Bedouin generals, finally unleased in the streets of Amman and the guerrilla strongholds buried deep in the teeming refugee camps around it, has raised grave doubts Hussein can emerge politically unscathed from the carnage. Half of Jordan’s population is Palestinian, bitterly hostile to the Bedouin even in normal times. ‘How’s this for a bumper sticker?” Diplomatic sources report as many as 250 Syrian tanks have entered Jordan from the north the last three days. Jordan’s 53,000-man army has 320 tanks and 350 armored cars and troop carriers but many of these are Numbers in () denote channels on the cable. 3:00 3 (5) Comer Pyle 15 (12) Sesame Street (NET) (Repeat of Tuesday) 3:30 3 (5) Town Talk 4:00 3 (5) Dark Shadows 15 (12) University Instructional 4:30 3 (5) Bewitched 5:00 3 (5) General Hospital 15 (12) Misterogers’ Neighborhood 5:30 3 (5) CBS Evening News 15 (12) Sesame Street (NET) 6:00 3 (5) Evening News 6:30 3 (5) Courtship of Eddie’s Father 15 (12) Campus and Community Today 7:00 3 (5) Danny Thomas 15 (12) What’s New (NET) 7:30 3 (5) Governor and JJ 15 (12) NET Playhouse 8:00 3 (5) Johnny Cash 9:00 3 (5) Hawaii Five-0 15 (12) The Toy That Grew Up 10:00 3 (5) Final News 10:30 3 (5) Dan August 11:30 3 (5) Richard Diamond Bulletin Board TONIGHT Electrical Engineering Wives Club will meet at 8 p.m. at the home of Mrs. Stephen River, 1211 Glade in College Station.

Environment group meets CS plans expansion of work on street repair with rubber Thursday City officials here plan to ex pand their experimental work in use of ground scrap rubber tires to repair cracks in streets. College Station City Engineer Lloyd James said the concept may also be broadened to include other waste products, such as plastic containers and glass. James termed the most recent test of methodology “completely successful.” The ground tires were mixed with sand in an asphalt seal coat for use as a stress-relieving inter face for cracks in unreinforced concrete in the “Carter’s Grove” section of the city. James said the most recent test, on Sept. 4, was the third in a series. The two earlier attempts did not produce the desired re sults, he noted. The concept of using old tires for surfacing streets and high ways was conceived by Dr. Dou glas Bynum, research engineer at A&M. In addition to use as a patch ing material for existing streets, James plans to employ the tire mixture on a new limestone base street before applying the normal asphaltic concrete riding surface. James noted three private com panies have participated in the experiment. They are the U. S. Rubber Reclaiming Co. in Vicks burg, Miss., which provided the ground rubber; Texas Emulsion Co. of Austin, supplier of the emulsion, and Dalworth Slurry Seal Co., Inc., of Arlington, which laid the surface. The Environmental Action Council of Brazos County has scheduled a public forum at 8 p.m. Thursday in the district courtroom of the Brazos County Courthouse. A panel of experts will discuss solid waste disposal. They include College Station city engineer Lloyd James and Director of the Brazos County Health Dept., Dr. Charles H. Miller Jr. Also speak ing on the panel will be Dr. W. B. Davis and Dr. Gary Kramer, both of the environmental engineering division, Civil Engineering Dept, at A&M. Each has been asked to present a 10-15 minute talk, according to EAC president W. T. (Tom) Mc Donald. A question and answer session will follow. He said the topic was chosen to broaden the knowledge of “our citizens on the scope and com plexities of solid waste disposal on a national as well as local level.” Cbe Battalion Opinion expressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.

EDITOR DAVID MIDDLEBROOKE Managing Editor Fran Haugen News Editor Hayden Whitsett Women’s Editor Diane Griffin Sports Editor Clifford Broyles still committed around the capital and in central Jordan. The guerrillas probably can hold on in the north and maybe establish a “Palestinian state,” but they are given little chance of overwhelming the entire Jor danian army. The carnage wrought by Hus sein’s Bedouin generals around Amman, however, has dealt Hus sein a moral and political blow which he will have difficulty surviving. “This bloodbath has been long coming but none of us expected it to be as bad as this,” one Western diplomat said. “The wounds it opens will not heal soon.” Another diplomat said: “Hus sein’s a tough guy, but how long can he last in the face of all this?” Rhodes scholarship help available from Ballinger The Palestinian guerrillas backed by two Soviet-equipped brigades of armor from Syria, have carved out a “liberated area” 10-15 miles deep inside Jordan from the north. Hussein’s army, better trained man for man than the Palestin ians or Syrians, can probably clear the isolated Palestinian pockets in central Jordan. But the Syrians outnumber them in the north. Dr. Richard H. Ballinger of the English Department said Tuesday students interested in applying for Rhodes Scholarships should check with him before Oct. 6. Ballinger’s office is in room 302-A of the Academic Building. Applicants must be between the ages of 18-24 on Oct. 1, Ballin ger said, but the maximum age limit may be relaxed for students who have fulfilled their military service obligation. Also, Ballinger said, applicants must be U.S. male citizens, un married. Exclusion of women is one of the rules set forth by Cecil Rhodes in his will, Ballinger said. Although there is no set grade point ratio requirement, Ballinger said he “would say a person should have at least a 3.5 gpr.” “Of course, he said, the Rhodes selection committee likes a many- sided man, a man who also has some interest in serving others.” Ballinger also said an applicant should be a senior or graduate student, although juniors may apply. Those finally selected, he said, may pursue any course of study at Oxford University in England. All expenses while at Oxford are taken care of, Ballinger said, but the student must provide his own transportation over there. Ballinger said there have been two Rhodes scholars from A&M, one in 1922 and one in 1946. FOR BEST RESULTS TRY BATTALION CLASSIFIED Read Classifieds Dail Deansgate TOWN SHIRE / BRYAN.
