Nixon (Continued from page 1) different roads leading to the same goal: a goal of building a world structure of peace and justice in which all may stand together with equal dignity, in which each nation, large or small, has a right to determine its own form of government free of out side interference or domination. “The world watches, the world listens, the world waits to see what we will do,” Nixon con tinued. Then he concluded by quoting Chairman Mao: “So many deeds cry out to be done and always urgently. The world rolls on. Time passes. Ten thousand years are too long. Seize the day! Seize the hour!” Said Nixon: “This is the hour. This is the day for our two peo ples to rise to the heights of greatness which can build a new and better world.” The President’s use of the words “long march” evoked memories of the “Long March” of 1934 when Mao’s Communist forces, fleeing from the heavy pressure of Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist armies, marched 6,- 000 or more miles from Kiangsi Province on a torturous route to Yenan in a remote area of Shensi Province. The march is a legend of Com munist Chinese history. Forces which had been between 200,000 and 300,000 at the start of the march were depleted to 40,000 or so at the end, a year later. The banquet was the final of ficial ceremony of the opening day of the visit by the first in cumbent American president ever to set foot on the soil of China.

(AP Wirephoto) the plug to the pumper is through the front seat of an Reaction to Nixon trip varies By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Soviet Union mentioned it briefly and North Vietnam ig nored the event Monday, but else where President Nixon’s first meetings with China’s Communist leaders captured headlines around the world. In Japan there were expressions of regret that a Japanese leader didn’t get to Peking first, while in Poland Communist boss Ed ward Gierek chose the occasion to issue what amounted to a call for the overthrow of Mao Tse-tung’s leadership. Tokyo’s early editions Tuesday carried front-page pictures of Nixon greeting Chou En-lai. The Japan Times said in an editorial the significance of the events now unfolding in Peking “is that an opening has been made for a continuing dialogue.” The paper said “lines of com munication will most likely be established, even if nothing else is achieved,” and this could be useful “to other nations in sizing up the Chinese intentions now and Japan likes it North Viets ignore it in the future.” Japanese officials were report ed concerned that the Peking talks might leave Japan on the sidelines of future international developments. Tass, the Soviet Union’s offi cial news agency, reported Nixon’s meeting with the Chinese leaders in a three-sentence dispatch. But the agency reflected offi cial displeasure at the trip by carrying a commentary from the French Communist newspaper, L’Humanite, assailing the Nixon visit as aimed at taking advan tage of the break between China’s leaders and international com munism. Nationalist China reaffirmed its previously expressed opposi tion to Nixon’s trip in a resolu tion passed by the National As sembly charging that it has “deeply damaged the Chinese na tional rights and interests.” Gierek told a mass rally in Katowice — Poland’s industrial heartland—that he hoped “the Chinese people and the Chinese Communists will find enough strength in themselves to reject the dangerous Maoist line and restore Socialist principles in the policy of their state.” In the strongest attack ytt made against China by the So viet Union’s staunchest ally, tli« Polish leader said “the anti-Soviet disruptive line of the Chinese leadership is aimed against tlie interests of the whole Socialist community.” In Saigon, the authoritative Buddhist newspaper Cong Luan reported that President Nguyen Van Thieu predicted in remarks to the National Assembly secre tariat a few days ago that tkej Nixon visit will produce no more than a joint communique and ex pressions of “ordinary courte-| sies” by Mao. A possible U.S.-China deal af-j festing South Vietnam’s future was said to have prompted Thieu’s remarks. player basket have i tunity though Bellarc bone r "Ric person of his "He h hands but he to stay is very es of t he war pen te hall” Ferr FDT wins second at Laredo MARK YOUR CAMBER MARCH 7 MARCH 1972 SMI w T F S 1 2 3 4 5 6 QJ 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 - “ mm mm We will have our representative on Campus March 7 to discuss Career Opportu nities with a MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR insurance company.

Texas A&I won the meet, first of the regular competition season for the all-freshman team. Scores of the two teams were 663.64 and 632.15. Team sponsor J. Malon South erland said the FDT performance was encouraging, especially in the fancy marching phase. A&M got most of its points in fancy drill, the basis of competition at the National Intercollegiate ROTC championships in April. The defending national cham pion team placed third in inspec tion, tied for third with Sam Houston State and Arkansas State in basic drill and took second in Doran to lecture on canoe speeds the fancy phase. A&I received: first in both basic and fancy. Southerland said two drops by the FDT right guide probably cost A&M the most points in the fancy drill. “We’re satisfied,” he added, "ij think the Fish Drill Team will be in the running.” The same teams, including the University of Texas and Univer- 1 sity of Houston will compete is the annual A&M Invitational March 25. Dr. Edwin B. Doran Jr., Geol ogy Department head at A&M, will speak on “Puluwat Canoe Speeds” at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Physics Room 146 to members of Phi Alpha Theta, international history honor society.
