Noted author Dr. Charles
Shedd, whose book “Letters To
Karen” has become a classic in
the field of women and marriage
will be speaking at First United
Methodist Church, Wednesday
and Thursday, Oct. 10 and 11.

Computer Data
Aids Planners
Urban planners will meet Fri
day at TAMU to hear Dr. Hugh
Calkins, associate director of the
Urban Systems Research Center
at the University of Washington,
discuss urban information sys
tems.
Dr. Calkins is principal con
sultant to the State of Wash
ington’s Land Planning Project
responsible for the development
of that state’s land information
system.
Dr. Jesus Hinojosa, head of
TAMU’s Urban Planning De
partment, said Dr. Calkins will
explain his department’s use of
computerized data sources to aid
in planning decisions.
“This system is different from
data storage banks,” Dr. Hino
josa explained, “in that the in
formation is continually updated
and checked with a systematic
analysis of projects using the
information system.
“For instance,” he continued,
“a planner may come to the in
formation system to get a proj
ect started, then he will continu
ously return to check his prog
ress, and update the system’s
information following careful
program monitoring techniques.”
The accountability theory for
policy analysis, which Dr. Cal
kins will discuss, enables a great
er degree of people-involvement
in planning projects which in
turn allows for programs more
responsive to the needs of the
public, according to Dr. Hino
josa.
Dr. Calkins will speak in Room
301 of the J. Earl Rudder Confer
ence Tower at 10 a.m. The pub
lic is invited to attend.
dialogue for the whole family en
titled, “If We’re Such Dumb Par
ents, How Come Our Kids Are
So Smart?” Following this, at
8:45 p.m., a “rap session” will
provide the opportunity for a
frank question and answer period
with teens and Dr. Shedd. Thurs
day’s activities will begin bright
and early at 6:45 a.m., with a
Breakfast for Father. Dr. Shedd
will explore with the men the
topic, “Some Things Only Dad
Can Do.” At 10 a.m. Thursday a
Conversation with Mother on,
“How to Get Your Husband to
Communicate!” will conclude the
two-day program.
Dr. Shedd’s straightforward,
witty advice on everything from
adolescent sex to family democ
racy has been enjoyed and put in
to practice by millions. Through
the impact of his lecture tours
and best-selling books (LETTERS
TO KAREN, LETTERS TO
PHILIP, PROMISES TO PETER,
THE STORK IS DEAD), Dr.
Shedd makes people laugh, re
spond and — most important —
make changes in their lives. His
no-holds-barred willingness to ad
dress the realities of adolescent
sex, marriage conflicts, parent
hood and self-concepts both stirs
controversy and makes people
think.
Dr. Shedd has been writing for
periodicals on the subject of fam
ily and interpersonal relationships
for nearly 25 years. He is well
known among young people for
his sometimes startling, always
straight - from - the - shoulder col
umn in Teen Magazine: “Sex and
Dating.” During the four years
when this column was regularly
featured in Teen, he received let
ters from over 25,0C0 teenagers,
with questions covering the entire
gamut of youthful concerns.
Along with his writing, an ex
tensive calendar of speaking en
gagements before church, school
and civic groups, and a firm com
mitment to his own family life,
Dr. Shedd has made appearances
on national talk shows, been fea
tured in an NBC special, and is
presently heard on many radio
stations across the country in his
syndicated “Parent Talk” broad
casts.

China Fears Alliance Ell
TOKYO (A>) — Three months
after an American liaison office
opened in Peking and despite
continued people-to-people ex
changes, the improvement in
U.S.-Chinese relations appears to
have slowed. The reason seems
to be growing Chinese anxiety
over moves by the United States
and the Soviet Union to draw
when he goes to Peking later
this month.
Chou saw the two superpowers
as contending for domination of
the world, with Europe as the
focus.

closer together, particularly over
Western Europe.
This theme was first sounded
by Premier Chou Enlai on Aug.
24 in his report to the 10th Com
munist party congress in which
he saw a Western plot to free
the Russians in Europe for ad
ventures against China.
That line of thinking has been
repeated in a series of editorials
and was raised again in the
speech Tuesday of Deputy For
eign Minister Chiao Kuanhua be
fore the U. N. General Assembly
in New York.
Peking’s references to U.S.-
China relations, which formerly
were described in warm terms,
have been muted since the party
congress. Chou dismissed them
in a single sentence, saying they
“have been improved somewhat.”
Chiao used the past tense in
his long address, observing that
China “started to improve her
relations with the United States”
on the basis of peaceful coexist-

Allaying Chinese fears pre

Meteorology professor Dr. A.
H. Thompson has a cure for Tex
as’ summertime heat.
He heads for Alaska.
Thompson spent the last half
of the summer working in the
glaciated areas between Juneau,
Alaska, and Whitehorse, Yukon.
He worked under auspices of a
program developed by the Ge
ology Department of Michigan
State University and supported
by the National Science Founda
tion.
“The program allows glaciolo
gists the opportunity to make
on-site studies of growing gla
ciers,” the TAMU scientist said.
“It has become highly inter
disciplinary and involves a va
riety of scientists from many
organizations,” Thompson added.
“I became involved because many
of the studies of glaciers and
their environments depend on
understanding the gradient of

You march against war.
You fight for clean air and clean
water. You eat natural foods. You
practice yoga. You are so much for
life. And you are so much against
killing.
It would be unthinkable for
you to kill another human being on
purpose.
So then, why is this
happening?
You don’t mean to be. But
you are. The numbers are simple.
Latest available figures show
that 8,000 American people between
the ages of 15 and 25 died in alcohol
related crashes. And almost all the
drunk drivers who caused those
crashes were also under 25.
1,380 died in combat. 3,420
committed suicide. 2,731 died of
cancer.
It’s incredible, but one of the
most dangerous things you can do
is to have a few bottles of wine with
friends and drive home.
You can change it. You have to.
