MACHINE INTELLIGENCE BEST—Retired Army Gen. Maxwell D. 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.

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

points in the 1962 summer and

range ballistic missiles on the is

missiles and bombers were being

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.
