Albania clash
over 2-China policy
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. <A>)
— Albania held today that adop
tion of the U.S. plan for dual
representation of China in the
United Nations would keep Pek
ing out. The United States took
issue with that view.
The two countries clashed as
the 131-nation General Assem
bly opened its first debate on
Chinese representation since the
United States switched to a new
policy.
Albanian F 6 r e i g n Minister
Nesti Nase, the first speaker,
quoted an Aug. 20 declaration of
the Communist people’s Republic
of China that it would “have
nothing to do with the United
Nations” if a “two Chinas” or a
“one China—one Taiwan” for
mula was adopted.
U.S. Ambassador George Bush
denied that the U.S. formula was
either a “two Chinas” or a “one
China and one Taiwan” plan. And
he said “Nobody can know for
sure how Peking will react” to
the adoption of a 19-nation reso
lution he introduced to have both
Chinas in the assembly and Com
munist China on the Security
Council.
Bush warned against expelling
the Chinese Nationalists, as pro-

On science, technology
Proxmire speaks here Friday
Senator William Proxmire will
open a major lecture-discussion
series on science, technology and
public policy Friday at A&M.
The Wisconsin Democrat known
as an outspoken critic of waste in
federal spending and opposition
leader of the supersonic transport
will speak at noon in the Memo
rial Student Center Ballroom.
Proxmire’s topic, “The Politics
of Science,” is the first in a co
operative series sponsored by the
Political Forum and Great Issues
committees of the MSG, the Sea
Grant Program and Political Sci
ence Department.
Political Forum, chaired by
Paul Turner of Livingston, is Sen
ator Proxmire’s host. Admission
to the address is free, reminded
Mike Lindsey, Forum major pro
grams chairman.
“This will be Senator Prox-
wire’s only visit to the Southwest
this fall,” Lindsey said.
The series, which will feature
Dr. Robert R. Gilruth, NASA’s
Manned Spacecraft Center direc
tor, in November, is supported by
the Sperry and Hutchinson (S&H)
Foundation grant matched by the
two A&M student groups, Sea
Grant and political science. Dr.
Paul P. Van Riper, political sci
ence head, is series director.
Senator Proxmire led an un
fruitful military weapons cost
critics attack recently on the Na
vy’s F14 Tomcat fighter. The
three-term legislator who chairs
the Congressional Joint Economic
Committee of the 92nd Congress
last week called for repeal of
President Nixon’s power to freeze
wages and prices “to prevent him
from becoming an economic dic
tator.”
Proxmire has been the only
one of the 100 senators to be
present and voting in every roll
call since April, 1966. He has
voted in more then 1,590 consec
utive roll call votes.
The leader in the fight against
the SST has consistently advocat
ed more rigorous spending pri
orities. Senator Proxmire has urg
ed particular close attention to
holding down expenditures on
public works, the space program
and military budget.
He is a member of the Senate
Appropriations Committee and
the Congressional Joint Commit
tee on Defense Production. In ad
dition, Proxmire is the ranking
Democrat on the Senate Banking,
Housing and Urban Affairs Com
mittee and member of the Senate
Democratic Steering Committee
and Democratic Policy Council.
Author of much consumer credit
legislation enacted into law, the
senator wrote acts on truth in
lending, fair credit reporting and
against unsolicited credit cards.
He also is working for passage
of fair credit billing, consumer
credit and insurance protection
acts.
Proxmire repeatedly criticized
the President before the Aug. 15
wage-price freeze imposition for
failure to use the power under
the Economic Stabilization Act.
The senator said his Oct. 7 bill
to rescind the act is consistent
since the law has now served its
purpose.
“Congressional action is needed
on the Phase 2 economic pro
gram,” Proxmire said before Nix
on announced the measures to
be taken after Nov. 13.
Proxmire criticized the current
law for the sweeping, unprece
dented powers it gives the Presi
dent: “We not only gave the
President the whole ball game,
we gave him the ball park as
well.”
Weynand of Hondo will be in
charge of the program.

cludes 31 seniors, including seven

Ross Volunteers traditionally
form an honor guard for the in-
Alma Trio to
start Showcase
Chamber music of the Alma
Trio will be featured Wednesday
in the opening presentation of
the 1971-72 Artist Showcase at
A&M.
The ensemble will present a
program from a repertoire includ
ing Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert,
Schumann, Mendelssohn, Brahms,
Ravel and contemporary compos
ers in an 8 p.m. performance at
the Memorial Student Center
Ballroom.
Kirk Hawkins, chairman of
Town Hall of which the Show
case series is a part, noted that
admission to the Alma Trio con
cert is by activity card, Town
Hall season or separate single
performance ticket. No seats are
reserved for Artist Showcase.
The trio consists of Andor
Toth, violinist; Gabor Rejto, cel
list, and William Corbett Jones,
pianist, each with an indepen
dent reputation as a concert art
ist.
In addition to tours of the U.S.,
Canada and Alaska, the group
has played in Cuba, Japan, Au
stralia, New Zealand and—a first
for a piano trio—the USSR. It
was learned that no other cham
ber music group achieved such
success. The 1963 Soviet tour in
cluded 10 concerts in Czechoslo
vakia and 18 in Russia.
Formed in 1944 in California
at the Santa Cruz Mountains es
tate of famed violinist Yehudi
Menuhin, the trio originated pure
ly for the playing pleasure of
three artists.

vided in a 22-nation resolution
that Nase had introduced, to re
place them with Chinese Com
munists through the United Na
tions.
He said the expulsion would be
irreversible, since Communist
China on the Security Council
could veto the Nationalist’ read
mission, and it would constitute
a dangerous precedent for other
U.N. members.
“There is only one Chinese
state in the world today,” Nase
declared. “There is no place for
the Chiang Kai-shek clique.”
He appealed for support of the
Albanian proposal for the expuln
sion of the Nationalist delega
tion, adding that any other solu
tion would violate the provisions
of the U.N. charter and “is un
acceptable to the People’s Repub
lic of China.”
Marine team
to interview
students
A Marine Corps officer selec
tion team is visiting A&M next
week to interview students in
terested in earning Marine com
missions.
The team headed by Capt. Wil
liam E. Lucas will operate an
information booth in the Me
morial Student Center through
Friday.
Captain Lucas also will meet
with members of the A&M chap
ter of the Semper Fidelis Soci
ety at 7:30 tonight in room 145
of the Physics Building.
Aggie Blood Drive
to become larger
A bigger Aggie Blood Drive is
expected Wednesday and Thurs
day at A&M.
More than 630 students regis
tered for the two-day fall semes
ter drive, which will receive don
ors at a Memorial Student Cen
ter basement station.
Donations will aid treatment
and research programs of the
Wadley Institutes of Molecular
Medicine in Dallas. Persons mak
ing contributions also make
themselves and their immediate
families eligible to draw on the
Wadley bank during the next
year.
The A&M drive, which also will
take donations during the spring
semester, is co-sponsored by the
Student Senate and Xi Delta
Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega,
national service fraternity. Wad
ley technicians will be here for
the drive.
APO publicity chairman Mike
Ballew noted that Bryan and
College Station citizens may also
give and benefit in the drive. He
said the registration this week
promises an exceptional turnout
for the drive.
The blood drive station will be
in operation from 8 a.m. to 5
p.m., except for the lunch hour,
Wednesday and Thursday. A
donor should allow about 30 min
utes for making the donation,
Ballew said.

The inquiring Battman
What
Thomas M. Stanley
senior
More parking lots should be
constructed and stickers should
be issued for only the number of
places available.
Bill Braddy
senior
Build more lots in Houston,
Dallas, and San Antonio. Issue
bicycles to everyone with paranoid
tendencies, and soon there will be
for everyone to park.
Buddy Hughs
freshman
Get rid of all the cars on cam
pus and leave the streets clean
for bikes and pedestrians.
Charles Lee
junior
They should build parking lots
on the edge of campus and use
shuttle buses.
Shirley Kotara
sophomore
More parking spaces should be
created by reassigning the faculty
spaces that aren’t used.
Russell Haas
senior
The parking situation can be
helped by building parking struc
tures and stop wasting valuable
space with blacktop deserts. Keep
freshman cars off campus.
J. Michael Cunningham
senior
Put restrictions on freshmen
having cars like other universities
have done.
