THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, November 16, 1972 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle I Butt News Summary By The Associated Press The threat of another shut down of worldwide air service was raised Wednesday by pilots unhappy with governmental anti hijack efforts. Meanwhile, offi cials in Washington and Havana indicated the possibility of new talks aimed at easing the air piracy problem. Four days after a hijacked Southern Airways jetliner was forced to Cuba with 31 persons aboard, the president of the Air Line Pilots Association, said he believes a complete shutdown of world air traffic the only route left open to pildts seeking tougher measures to prevent hijacks. KENNETT SQUARE, Pa.— Two policemen were shot and killed early Wednesday behind police headquarters in what was called an ambush by “a cool assassin." Dist. Atty. William H. Lamb of Chester County said: “This was a brutal assassination-type killing ... no casual type of killing ... a planned, deliberate attack . . . the work of a cool assassin.” “If this doesn’t work, I’m going to fake back trouble!” Senate to Consider Bike Fee (Continued from page 1) “This is the only significant part of the yell leader policy left to be decided,” said Campbell. The Day Care Center Board will be presented for Senate ap proval. Virginia Leahey, junior elementary education major with a certification in kindergarten, was approved for Board chairman at the Nov. 2 Senate meeting. Board members up for Senate approval are Gary Drake, gradu ate working on masters in agri cultural economics; Randy Ross, junior business management ma jor; Dr. Ben M. Crouch, Sociolo gy Dept.; Dr. Sara Dawn Smith, Education Psychology Dept.; Dr. Walter F. Stenning, Curriculum and Instruction and Educational Psychology Depts.; Hubert Beck, campus minister for the Lutheran Student Center; and Joe Sawyer, president of the University Na tional Bank. One more community member will be presented at the meeting. A book exchange program will be presented by Fred Campbell, chairman of rules and regulations committee and Ron Bento, chair man of student services. This program would help students sell books at a better price. In essence, a temporary office would be opened in the student center so students may call in and leave word they have a book for sale. At the same time stu dents may call in looking for a book and be referred to a person selling the book. The Senate will also discuss supplementary student govern ment funds which is an additional request for money from the re serve fund of student service fees. “For the past two years, the student government has received an annual $5,000 grant which they did not receive this year,” said Kruse. “Therefore the stu dent government budget has been cut and the Exchange Stq>re Ad visory Committee has suggested we ask for money fro \ Ale re serve fund.” The amount being asked for is $2,500. One under-graduate off-campus senator position will be filled and the vacancies of graduate busi ness and graduate engineering positions are to be announced. DA NANG, Vietnam—A rank- Air Pollution Course Offered The Department of Meteorology will offer a new course on the meteorological aspects of air pol lution during the spring semester, 1973. Met. 463 will meet three times each week, will have a credit value of three semester hours, and will be taught without a laboratory. Course content will emphasize the problems of air pollution in the global atmosphere and will consider environmental cycles, waste products in the biosphere, atmospheric pollution, natural concentrations of atmospheric constituents, pollution sources, at mospheric transport, pollution sinks, effects of pollution, moni toring and surveillance and man agement of air quality.

H. Slade will be the basic text with additional articles selected from journals.

Willard E. Chambers said in his final report to the pacifica tion agency: “I am no longer willing to remain patient with the parade of overranked nonenti ties whose actions reflect their own ignorance of Vietnam, of the peculiarities of a people’s war and of the requirements of counterinsurgency.” ment and congressional inspec tors found insanitary operating conditions in plants of 39 food firms including one of the Pepsi Cola Co. and one of Thomas J. Lipton Tea Co. The Wisconsin Democrat quot ed the General Accounting Office as saying 22 of the plants, includ ing one of Coca Cola and one of Lilly Ice Cream, were “operating under serious insanitary condi tions having potential for causing or already having caused product contamination.” WASHINGTON — Democratic leaders say the party should look more to its governors for direc tion in the aftermath of the election landslide which buried George McGovern.
