Taylor said Americans make poor intelligence agents, for lack of patience. The Wednesday Political Forum speaker cited the U. S. as the world leader in technical fields of gathering infor mation. ‘Intelligence’ Is Not A Dirty Word, Declares Gen. Taylor Intelligence forms the “raw materials of presidential deci sion-making” and is an essential, justifiable and moral activity of government, retired Army Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor contends. “Intelligence is not a dirty word,” the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and presidential consultant claimed. “It goes along with leadership, manpower and military hard ware to make the United States a safe place to live.” He cited the Bible (Numbers 13), in which the Lord instructed 'Monterey Pop 9 Movie Set For Friday Showing The movie “Monterey Pop,” a documentary film about one of the first rock festivals, will be shown at 12 p.m. Friday night at the Campus theater. This is the first presentation of a series of music oriented movies sponsored by station KBCS-FM, planned for midnight showings. “Admission will be 103 cents in advance at Budget Rec ords, and $1.25 at the door,” said Glenn Marpole, KBCS-FM gener al manager. Other movies planned include, “Fillmore,” “Alice’s Restaurant,” “Woodstock,” “Fritz the Cat” and “Fantasia.” Moses to “spy out the land of Canaan.” The general, speaking before a Political Forum audience of 250 Wednesday, said intelligence today is largely a matter of tech nical skills which avoids prob lems of slow, biased and unre liable agent collection. “Intelligence is even more nec essary today, when we as a na tion are receding toward our own shores,” the D-Day commanding general of the 101st Airborne Division said. Gen. Taylor also was CG of the Eighth U.S. Army in Korea. He emphasized that the reced ing action should be accompanied by “increased intelligence, which replaces armed forces that served the same purpose.” Gen. Taylor said the U.S. in telligence operation — collection of evaluated information — is today “an enormous operation” involving 200,000 people and cost ing from $4 to $6% billion an nually. The operation involves the Cen tral Intelligence Agency, “known only for its failures,” the State Department and its diplomatic corps, Department of Defense and its National Security Agen cy, and, to a lesser extent but just as important, the Atomic Energy Commission and FBI. University National Bank “On the side of Texas AAM.” —Adv. A U. S. Intelligence Board which coordinates world-wide ac tivities of the five agencies con ducts studies and assembles pa pers — estimates of the situa tion — which go to the President, Taylor explained. “Without this kind of work, progress in areas such as arms limitation would be virtually im possible,” the general observed. He used the Cuban missile cris is as an example and described points in the 1962 summer and fall situation in which intelli gence played a key role. Technical intelligence provid ed proof of the existence of long- range ballistic missiles on the is land, furnished means of decid ing the course of action and, once Nikita Khruschev capitu lated, determined that Soviet missiles and bombers were being (See Gen. Taylor, page 2) The new Student Senate-ap proved Day Care Center, with a tentative opening date for early next semester, is being organized and both volunteers and paid workers to help work on the project are needed, according to Virginia Leahey, chairman of the Day Care Center Board. “We need supplies like chil dren’s books, paper, crayons, toys and furniture,” she said. “We are also appealing to both in dividuals and clubs to help re pair and paint the center and to help build equipment for the chil dren.” The nursery will be located in the Lutheran Center behind the Lutheran Church in College Sta tion. In addition, the Board is look ing for a qualified director of the center. Qualifications include good working experience with pre school children, familiarity with procedures necessary in manag ing a day care center, and per sonal qualities. Applications are also being taken for two other paid posi tions. One full time teacher will be hired. Qualifications include experience with pre-school chil dren and high personal char acter. A part time aide will also be hired to work with the children. The aide may be a student with some knowledge of dealing with children. She must also have good personal qualities. “We also need someone who can cook, has experience with nu trition and can plan a menu,” Leahey said. “We need someone who is warm and patient and can deal with both children and their parents,” said Leahey. Although the salaries of the employees has not yet been set, it will be above minimum wage, she said. “Before we start officially op erating though, we need to get on our feet.” To do this, she said that many volunteers, other than the paid workers, are needed. Volunteers are needed to help train the student aide, to set up a nutrition plan program to meet state requirements in meals, to help build equipment and paint the center and to help in other areas. Any kind of donations are also needed, she said. Leahey said there are several other day care centers in the area, but this is the only one that has been approved by the university. A maximum of 20 children will be handled, in ac cordance with a state require ment limiting the number of chil dren in day care centers to ten children per toilet. “We are pleading to individ uals to help us with this new challenge. The project is for the children’s benefit and is a serv ice for students with children.” Interested applicants are ask ed to contact Leahey at the Sen ate office in the Memorial Stu dent Center and to apply as soon as possible. ‘The Point’, Star Trek To Be Shown The Cepheid Variable Science Fiction Subcommittee of the MSC Recreation Committee will pre sent “The Point,” Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the Memorial Student Center Ballroom. A Star Trek episode will also be shown. “The Point” is an animated fan tasy which says that each man has a right to his own opinion, and that even if his opinion is in the minority, it is not necessarily wrong. To make its point, a simple and enchanting story unfolds about Oblio, the only boy in an unusual kingdom with a round head. In this weird kingdom, everybody and everything is pointed. Because of his difference, he is proclaimed an outlaw and banished to the Pointless Forest. There he has many ‘fantastic’ adventures with a three-headed man, giant bees, a good-natured old rock, and a tree in the leaf selling business. His many de lightful experiences teach Oblio that it is not necessary to be pointed to have a point of view in life. One of the six songs in the cartoon is “Me and My Arrow,” which hit the top charts. Admis sion to the two feature program is 50 cents. 38 A&M Students Named To ’73 ‘Who’s Who’ List Thirty-eight TAMU students will be listed in the 1973 edition of “Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges,” announced Dean of Students James P.

Elton John: This Isn’t Texas A&M, But Texas R(ock) & R(oll) FOREVER AND EVER were what Elton John concert goers wished they could have kept the versatile young pianist at Wednesday night’s Town Hall Special Attraction.
