So I clipped out this photograph and made up a name and entered her as my date to make me look good! Now she’s in th’ finals and I’ve got to figure out a way to come up with a nonexistent girl!” By JAMES R. JACKSON Sidney Walton, instructor of geography at California State University, last month at Wash ington State advocated the es tablishment of a separate “black state” in the southeastern United States, enclosing those states east of the Mississippi River and south of Pennsylvania. Walton said the three things blacks need most are “self de termination, self protection, and land.” Young blacks, Walton said, should start returning to the South where they can find safety and a relevant education. Black studies programs are useless, Walton said, because they do not teach young blacks how to sur vive. Walton cautioned black youths not to be misled by the environ ment on college campuses. “It’s a different world outside,” he said. “You will find that your white buddies are no longer your buddies on the outside.” ★ ★ ★ Speaking at the University of Florida last month, William Kunt- sler, famed lawyer for the Chicago 7, related details of the recent Berrigan indictment and at tempted to explain conspiracy in ’70 autos stronger than ’71s WASHINGTON <A>>—Tests of 1971 automobiles show they sus tain greater damage in low-speed crashes than did 1970 models, a Senate committee was told Wed nesday. “The base line of low speed crash damage reflected in esti mated repair costs generated in our 1971 model tests . . . ap pears to have worsened,” said Dr. William Haddon Jr., presi dent of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. He testified before the Senate Commerce Committee, which is considering legislation that would authorize the secretary of trans portation to set property-loss re duction standards for cars. Haddon accused auto manufac turers of ignoring available tech niques for making cars more damage proof because, he said, they find it more profitable to replace parts that have built-in fragility. “The largely cosmetic egg shell front and rear ends of new automobiles remain with us in showrooms and on the streets,” he said, “insuring . . . the con tinued operation of a highly re munerative market in replace ment parts sales, most of which automobile design has made cer tain will be made by the maker of the automobile itself.” Haddon showed films of staged crashes which resulted in the fol lowing estimated repair costs: —Front end crashed into a test barrier at five miles per hour, $331.69 for 1971 models compared to $215.64 for 1970 models. —Rear end crashed into the barrier at five miles per hour, $329.28 for 1971 models com pared to $218.66 for 1970 models. All of the five-mile-an-hour crashes should have resulted in zero damage, Haddon said. He contended that designing cars which would not be damaged in low-speed crashes need not mean higher prices. By doing away with cosmetic fringes, protruding nose cones and snout configurations, “which perform all of the functions of battering rams,” and using the space for energy-absorbing fea tures, he said, “manufacturers could reduce the initial price of the vehicle or, at worst, maintain it at its present level.” bo.... Yarborough against plan to hike tuition Bulletin Board SAN ANTONIO <A»>—Former U. S. Sen. Ralph Yarborough has criticized a proposed doubling of tuition at state colleges and universities. “Texas ranks about 30th in the nation in education,” he said. “We are just now getting the junior colleges and higher education fa cilities in Texas to pull ourselves out of this bottom position and into the top half of the states in our rating in education. . . . “It shows callous disregard of the poorer students, who are more than half the total, and of the educational needs of the state. Let us hope that the legislature takes a second look. ...” ....TONIGHT... Model Airplane Club will meet at 8:15 p.m. in room 202 of the Physics Building to discuss rules for the April meet.

EDITOR DAVID MIDDLEBROOKE Assistant Editor Hayden Whitsett Managing Editor Fran Zupan Women’s Editor Sue Davis Sports Editor Clifford Broyles relation to governmental scare devices. “All countries, especially Eng land and the United States, have always used conspiracy charges to break the back of political movements,” Kuntsler claimed. “Conspiracy charges are easy to prove and they succeed in scar ing the . . . out of middle Amer ica. “If you can make the public believe priests and nuns can bomb buildings you can make them believe anyone would.” According to Kuntsler, however, the long-range results of these tactics are far more frightening than the short-range results. “All this can lead to is a popu lation that will advocate any de famation of individual rights so they can be assured big brother is intact,” Kuntsler claimed. “The recent no-knock policy and the use of marijuana laws for poli tical oppression are only the beginning.” ★ ★ ★ “Killing is not the mission of the Army. Killing is an unfortu nate side effect of our job.” “According to an article in the University of Texas at Arling ton school newspaper, the words of Capt. John T. Moser typify the attitude of the officers and en listed men in UTA’s ROTC pro gram. The ROTC staff at UTA be lieves that the lottery and the unpopularity of the Vietnamese war are the main causes of the decline in ROTC enrollment. The article further stated that ROTC provides the Army with college-educated officers at about one-fifth the cost of West Point graduates and is “one way of in jecting a measure of civilian in fluence into the insular world of the military.” Texas congressman after end to use of draftees in ‘nonwar’ WASHINGTON <A>) — Rep. Henry B. Gonzalez, D.-Tex., at tempted Wednesday to win con verts to his argument that the President should be prohibited from sending draftees into com bat when Congress has not de clared war. “Neither we nor the courts have ever settled the question of the legality of drafting men and sending them into combat with out Congress first having de clared war,” Gonzalez told the House Armed Services Commit tee. Gonzalez said he wasn’t argu ing the legality or morality of the war in Indochina. He said that it, like the similarly unde clared conflict in Korea in the 1950s, had become “presidential” wars and had led to the termi nated service of Presidents Harry S. Truman and Lyndon B. John son as a consequence. If Congress had passed on either conflict, reflecting a united national opinion, such resulting dissension could not have built up, Gonzalez said, to the Selective Service Act to restrict the President until Con- He said the issue must be faced and he proposes an amendment gress declares war.
