Page 4 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, February 4, 1971 Impeachment idea “ridiculous” - Smith DALLAS <A>) — Gov. Preston Smith, discussing the Texas stock deal case with a newsman while visiting Dallas Tuesday, said it was “ridiculous” to talk about possible impeachment proceed ings. Smith again said he was guilty of no wrongdoing in connection with the case in which he had been named as a witness. He is not a defendant. Walter Evans of KDFW, who caught the governor as he was leaving a speaking engagement at a local hotel, said Smith turn ed away “looking very upset” after a question concerning im peachment proceedings. “Do you figure there’s much chance of an impeachment pro ceeding being initiated in the state legislature?” Evans asked him. “That’s ridiculous,” said Smith and turned on his heel. Earlier the conversation went like this: Evans: Governor Smith, I’m anxious to know how you feel about the treatment you and the other people involved in this al leged stock fraud scandal have been receiving in the news media. Smith: Well, I can only speak for myself. We’ve done absolute ly nothing wrong. In the legis lation that I vetoed we had had nothing to do with it as far as our investments were concerned, so that’s the only remarks I’d have to make. (continued from page 1) Stalin was discredited by Krush chev. “It is no longer monolithic Com munism,” he said, “as it was un der Stalin or Lenin. There is no one left to believe in.” In providing background for his talk, Goncharoff explained that when Russian citizens rallied to defend their country in World War II they were defending “Mother Russia” rather than Communism. Nationalism was the dominant theme, and many of the formerly demeaned practices of imperialistic Russia were used by the Communists to arouse this nationalism. “Suddenly there was not a sin gle bad czar,” the doctor said, “and we had all been told there was not one good thing about Im perialistic Russia.” Goncharoff stressed the impor tance of “building bridges” be- Youth protest tween Western and Eastern coun tries. He suggested that a way to build bridges would be making it possible for one third of the stu dents of U.S. universities to visit and live in foreign countries. “If we could send just one third in four years to study the lan guage and mentality of foreign peoples,” he said, “people would never forget what freedom means. We would be able to appreciate what American heritage really means. People who look for Communists under their beds do not believe in their American heritage.” “We need to use weapons of wisdom,” he continued, “to devel op a new pioneering quest for Americans. Wb can pick up where the Greeks who were know for lofty thoughts and ideals left off . . . or be known like the Romans, who are noted for their ruins.” - hioibk ^" An intimate image of a llama was sought by Greg Gray during a picture-taking session | at “World of Animals” near Mesquite. Hunting big game—photo wise Students shot African big game on a recent safari to North Central Texas. The “shooting” was with cam eras and game was abundant at the “World of Animals” African wildlife refuge near Mesquite. Eleven members of the Memo rial Student Center Camera Com mittee, advisor Gertrud M. Adam and wildlife science professor Dr. R. A. Baldauf spent a full day at the 500-acre preserve. “It is pure heaven for a pho tographer,” said Miss Adam. Founded by several wealthy Texans to save African wildlife from extinction, the refuge is a popular weekend sight-seeing point for visitors. The animals roam the open range, with fences to keep the predators from their prey. The sole “cultural” change (from the animals’ viewpoint) is a winding, hard-surfaced road for the multi tude of visitors. Miss Adam said the photogra phers were able to spend as much time as they wanted to get pho tos of lions, antelope, monkeys, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, zebras and a multitude of other repre sentatives of African fauna. “It’s quite an experience,” committee chairman Greg Gray said, “to have one baboon block your way while another investi gates the interior of your car while sitting on the window ledge. Or have an ostrich peck at the windows, or to have to stop to let a pair of magnificent lions cross leisurely in front of your car.” “That’s where you stay, with the windows up at all times,” he added. “If you open a window only as much as a crack, a refuge official who appears to come from nowhere will roar ‘The lady in the white car . . . roll up your window.’ Rangers in loud-speak er equipped landrovers are sta- Read Battalion Classifieds Research on two elements 'WHEN YOU Jnvel CALL ON US FOR 846-3773 member VISIT OUR NEW OFFICE MSG BEVERLEY BRALEY UNIVERSITY TRAVEL...

Meyers for research on two of the lesser known elements. Investigations to be conducted over a two-year period will be concerned with the chemistry and structure of compounds of the elements selenium and tellurium. Research concerned with the chemistry of the elements has been actively pursued in the Chemistry Department for the past 15 years. It has received international recognition, said de partment head Dr. A. E. Martell. Zingaro said the grant allows considerable leeway for their re search methods. One inquiry, among others, will be aimed at finding some oxygen-carrying selenium com pounds. “We would like to find selen ium compounds that will form bonds to iron and carry oxygen, in a manner similar to the bond between the iron and sulphur atoms in hemoglobin,” Zingaro said.
