CADET SLOUCH by Jim Ernie 'mzGt?s Cows PUMM “The availability of space in corps lot could attract more Aggies to th’ corps!” Texas Jazz Ensemble Returns In Aggie Young Artist Series The UT Jazz Ensemble makes a return engagement Tuesday at Texas A&M University, in the Young Artists Series of Town Hall. It will be at 8 p.m. in G. R. White Coliseum. The 21-piece band directed by Dick Goodwin played a well-re ceived concert last January in the Artist Showcase Series. University of Texas Jazz En semble programs range from tra ditional big-band music of Count Basie and Woody Herman to pres ent innovations, including Latin music and rock. A characteristic of the group composed of non-music as well as music majors is its new arrange ments and compositions. Good win composes and arranges many tunes, but ensemble members are also productive. Of the music majors, several perform with the UT and Austin symphonies. Non-music majors come from law, engineering, busi ness administration and the lib eral arts. Several play profession ally with jazz and rock groups. A regular performer on the Austin campus, the ensemble makes occasional trips to Dallas, Houston and Corpus Christi. It makes an annual tour in cooper ation with the Texas Fine Arts Commission. Town Hall season ticket and activity card owners will be ad mitted free to the Young Artists concert. Separate admissions are available at the Student Program Office in the MSC. Williams Wants (Continued from page 1) putting up 600 racks at the Krue- ger-Dunn complex alone. His fig ure was $41,000. A&M can do the same job for $23,000.” Steve Wakefield, a student on the panel, said he would like to see the price lowered to get stu dents to register their bikes and to increase immediate revenue. He said the Student Senate was waiting to get ‘feelings’ from the Traffic Panel on the path system before taking the matter up in session. To Drop Paths Wakefield also brought up the subject of the damages done to bikes by the new racks, a subject for many student complaints. Woods said that Bob Rucker, university landscape architect, had found the rack (with the cir cular ring design) produces the least amount of damage in the long run and through testing had shown to be the most desirable. Woods said Rucker had admitted it did have some undesirable as pects. Bike Rules To Be Enforced (Continued from page 1) the violation notice. Hannigan said Monday after noon that he felt students had been adequately informed and that Nov. 3 was a reasonable date to begin cracking down. “The plan had been to issue warning tickets for the small few who hadn’t registered,” said Han nigan, “but that’s all changed now.” In a letter to Hannigan from Traffic Panel Chairman Dr. Don Woods, he said the tone of Fri day’s Traffic Panel meeting was much stronger than Hannigan’s proposal. “In general, the panel felt that enforcement of the regulations is long overdue and Chief Luther received several suggestions re garding enforcement procedures (at the meeting).” The letter also supported the enforcement of flagrant parking violations in the parking of bikes, particularly on sidewalks, at the entrance to buildings, or other hazardous locations.” Welfare Board Predicts $$ THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Tuesday, October 31, ij Increase By BILL BOYKIN Texas Press Association AUSTIN—Rising welfare costs will demand another $60.9 million increase in the state budget dur ing the next two years, the State Board of Public Welfare conclud ed last week. The Board also approved a budget request asking an addi tional $71.1 million in federal matching funds for the 1974-75 biennium. State Welfare Commissioner Raymond Vowell blamed the in crease on congressional regula tions and a two per cent cut in the federal government’s share of welfare program costs for Texas. Welfare Board member Louis Sarazan of Corpus Christi also pointed to increases in medical care for welfare beneficiaries. Even with the increase recom mended, benefits would be cut at least temporarily next fall. State funds for welfare totalled $212.5 million in 1972 and $267.8 million in 1973. The Texas constitution limits money actually paid to welfare recipients (not including medical assistance, operating costs, spe cial services, food stamps, coun seling, child care and job train ing) to $80 million a year. Voters last year rejected a pro posal to remove state aid to the aged, blind and disabled from the ceiling. If President Nixon signs the revised welfare reform bill, only aid to families with dependent children would be left under the state ceiling by Jan. 1, 1974. The federal government would assume the cost of aid to the aged, blind and disabled, although the states would administer programs until July 1, 1975. The federal act, if signed, would also phase back into the medicaid program 19,000 old folks who lost their eligibility when social se curity benefits were raised Oct. 1. PRIMARY URGED Secretary of State Bob Bullock recommended unitary primary elections to replace the old sys tem of separate primaries for Democrats and Republicans. At the same time, the state chief election officer advised a Senate election law study com mittee that unless the legislature enacts new legislation next year there will be no laws on the books for financing 1974 primaries. Bullock estimated the state could save at least $800,000 under the $2.8 million spent on dual primaries this year if it uses the same polling places and officials ~ for both major parties. The Secretary recommended state and local officials, rather than county political party chair men, be designated to hold pri maries. He also urged re-evaluat ing the whole Texas Election Code’s provisions on political ad vertising and campaign expense financing reporting. He said the election code should be recodified. STUDY ASKED The House sponsor of competi- For State Budget tive home and auto insurance rates in the recent special session announced he will ask the House speaker to direct a committee to make a rate study. Rep. Don Cavness of Austin said he hopes his bill, which died in conference committee last month, will be revived by the 63rd Legislature next year. Cavness said he does not think lawmakers received an accurate analysis of competitive rates from the State Board of Insurance. He said he hopes to obtain more near ly accurate facts on auto insur ance costs. He said he also wants Grover Predicts (Continued from page 1) that counts,” he said. “I think I will be one of the freest-minded individuals to govern Texas, since I have no lobby ties. Most gov ernors don’t have the courage to make recommendations on legis lative pieces.” A broad-based Constitution is what Grover said he would like some meaningful comparisons on premiums for homeowners’ rates, which “on routine examination appear extremely high.” ABUSES HIT Fifteen hundred car dealer and leasing companies in Texas signed voluntary agreements not to “roll back” odometers (mileage indi cators) on used cars in Texas, Atty. Gen. Crawford Martin said. Earlier, the attorney general’s Consumer Protection Division ob tained 39 permanent injunctions against El Paso firms and indi viduals for turning back the odometers so used cars would seem to have “low mileage.” Election Victory “With new members coming in to the legislature,” he said, “I think it is potentially dangerous to have them sit in on a Consti tutional Convention. We need to see people from all walks of life rewriting the Constitution, ones who have had experience in dif ferent government aspects.” He added that if a new one Kent Ellis., Evangelist SPIRITUAL NOBILITY “Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the scriptures daily, whether these things were so. Many of the® therefore believed; ...” (Acts 17:11, 12a). The Bereans showed their nobility of character by theii readiness to accept truth, as soon as intelligent and objectirt investigation had determined that it was the truth. The reason given why they learned and embraced the truth was that they had their hearts open to conviction and the Scriptures open for examination. Many contradictory things are taught in the name of the God of Scripture. All cannot be true. The proper response to this situation is not a hopeless skepticism, which refuses to be- lieve anything. It is an objective weighting of the claims asj evidence in the light of God’s word. Truth can be ascertained, if a person desires it, and if he carefully seeks it. Truth courts investigation. It has nothing to hide. It does not need human authorities to sustain it. Paul did not resent the Bereans examining the Scriptures to test his teaching. And Luke expressly commends them for it. Any teaching that will not stand up under such inquiry is not the truth. Do you examine the Scriptures to see if religious teachers and teaching are in harmony with God’s word? Do you haves readiness of mind to accept the truth when you have made cer tain is the truth? Only if your attitude and practice is such can you be placed among spiritual nobility. to see for Texas government, but said he is opposed to the amend ment for rewriting the Constitu tion. were written he would want it submitted to the voters piecemeal so they would read what they were voting for in its entirety.

It’s a gimmick with fantastic advan tages. In the first place, you go to heaven. In the second place, other people can’t lay a glove on you. And in the third place, telling the truth is the best known way there is of moving merchandise. Of course, telling the truth isn’t al ways easy. After the fact, some of DDB’s problems don’t look so tough. But, at the time, it took a lot of stamina to use our gimmick. Take that automobile we do the adver tising for Back in the beginning, that car was a strange-looking little creature to Detroit-conditioned eyes. In fact, it looked like a beetle. So we called it a beetle. We sold cars. Or take that rental car company we called “number two.” That was practi cally Un-American. The consumer wasn’t supposed to be impressed unless you called yourself the biggest or the fattest or the most important. Something. We took a chance on truth. We rented cars. We have a bank client who asked us to advertise mortgage loans. Instead of advertising low-cost mortgage loans, we prepared a 1400-word 2400-line ad Avis is only No.2 in rent a cars. So why go with us? Does the Wea V h/Hl n fcww’V** M fkmkm CkUM.gJ We've been using the same gimmick for 22 years, now. describing all the terrible shocks and blows you’re subjected to at a mortgage closing. That was doubly ridiculous inasmuch as nobody reads copy. Right? They read copy when you’re telling them something. Not only did the bank’s mortgage business shoot up, they were able to spread their name all over town because of some 100,000 reprint requests. Another word for truth is information. Supplying information to potential customers is where advertising started. And it’s still the most important job. Done believably, memorably, entertain ingly sometimes, but done. That’s why, at Doyle Dane Bembach, we pay as much attention to print to day as we ever did (including this ad). Print is neither “hot” nor “cold.” It’s honest. Inherently. You’re out there on the page, naked, without so much as a guitar Just your product and the word. And you’re out there with that ordi nary man in the street who’s turned into a consumerist skeptic and who’s learned to spot a hedge three columns away. And with print, he can take a long, slow, devastating look. WeVe got a confession to make; it’s got nothing to do with heaven. People are as smart as we are. That’s why we tell the truth.
