CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Earle From other campuses
Kent student gives warning
By JAMES R. JACKSON
A teasip who is a graduate of
Kent State published his views
of the May 4 tragedy there as
he saw it. In an article in The
Daily Texan the student said he
could not help “but draw certain
parallelisms between what I ex
perienced in the past and what I
see evolving around me today
on the University of Texas cam
pus.”
The Kent graduate thinks the
underlying causes of the tragedy
of Kent State “was the absence
of an effective dialogue between
students, as well as faculty and
the administration.”
He said it was possible to see
a member of the lower echelon
of the bureaucratic structure but
“any real dialogue with the de
cision-making apparatus was non
existent.”
“Let this be a lesson to you—never leave your can of
shaving lather on th’ heater again!”
‘Lights’ seen by spacemen
may be danger warning
SPACE CENTER, Houston (A*)
—Mysterious lights from space
which astronauts between the
earth and moon see in the dark
and with their eyes closed may
be the warning signs for terrible
dangers facing spacemen of the
future.
The lights were first observed
by Apollo 11 astronaut Edwin E.
Aldrin Jr. as he and his crew-
mates were flying back from the
moon. He mentioned them to as
tronaut Neil Armstrong who also
saw them.
Apollo 12 and Apollo 13 astro
nauts also saw the lights, which
were described as coming in
streaks and bursts and faint
lightning-like flashes.
Apollo 14 astronauts, for the
first time, set out to carefully
observe and report their observa
tions. They reported Tuesday of
seeing the lights.
Scientists believe the astro
nauts may be experiencing cosmic
radiation hitting their eyes or
optic nerves.
The scientists say the strength
of the radiation is not enough to
harm Apollo astronauts on short
flights, such as Apollo 14.
But on longer flights, such as
a two-year journey to Mars, the
radiation could be harmful. Long
term exposure to radiation can
destroy body cells.
People on earth have nothing
to fear from the rays, however.
The Van Allen radiation belt ap
parently shields the earth from
the high energy rays observed
by the astronauts.

Speaking at Tech, Tom Cal
houn, a promoter of nonviolence
and assimilation of ethnic groups
through association of all kinds
of people, told what it is like to
be a Negro.
He said the main cause for
voluntary segregation is fear. He
did not mean only black segre
gation. He said one could see
“soul corner” where blacks meet.
Another spot is used by the
“freaks or long hairs” while “Chi-
canos, cowboys, and other groups
have their own gatherings,”
“Blacks do not want to be called
Uncle Toms. White students fear
their peers will call them ‘nigger
lovers,’ or that the black students
will look down on them as do-
gooders,” Calhoun said.
Speaking of the welfare pro
gram, Calhoun said it does not
do an efficient job, but that it is
necessary.
Calhoun said he believes the
purpose of welfare should be to
distribute wealth so as to guar
antee each person the basic es
sentials (food, good shelter, cloth
ing) of life.
He added that acceptance of
assimilation is difficult for low-
income white families because,
“they feel failure monetarily and
the black served once as someone
to look down upon.”
Bulletin Board
The student wonders where the
people are that run an institu
tion. He said he feels that they
should rap and mingle with stu
dents, explaining their actions
and methods to the students —
the final product of the institu
tion.

here. Successful agents don’t punch clocks.
A successful insurance agent has his own
clients. He’s dedicated to them. Makes his own
decisions concerning them. Since he is successful,
nobody argues about the hours he keeps.
Consider this . . . 22% of our most
successful agents began learning and earning
while in college.
