Iran is a Middle East country
of 32 million people covering 1.6
million square miles. It is the 13th
richest country in the world and the
4th leading oil producer. It exports
caraway seed, petroleum and Impe
rial Iranian Naval cadets.
One thousand such cadets are in
colleges and universities through
out the United States, 10 of them at
Texas A&M University.
Iran, known as Persia in ancient
times, is a member of the Organiza
tion of Petroleum Exporting Coun
tries (OPEC), but is not a member
of the Arab bloc of nations.
The Iranian Aggies are candidates
for commissions in the Imperial
Navy. They were sent to A&M to
study Mechanical and Aerospace
Engineering, said Cadets Yousaf
Hafezizadeh and Manucheher
Kavehkar, freshmen in Company
K-2.
The government of Iran is sub
sidizing the program, Hafezizadeh
said last week, and provides the
cadets with transportation for a
month-long vacation home each
summer.
“Mechanical engineering in Iran
is not good for a naval officer,” said
Hafezizadeh. He also said the gov
ernment is currently in the process
of improving its engineering prog
ram, but until it does, Iranians will
be sent to the U.S. to study.
Kavehkar, who comes from Rasht
in northern Iran, said that the major
difficulty the Iranians encountered
was translating American textbooks.
“If one of our American friends
lias to study for two hours, ” he said,
we have to study for four hours —
it takes two hours to look up all the
words in the dictionary.”
The Iranians’ conversational En
glish is strikingly good. The trouble
comes when they are faced with
homework problems using the En
glish measurement system. In Iran
the metric system i^> used exclu
sively.
Adjusting to life in the U.S. has
also meant changes in dress and eat
ing habits. Hafezizadeh said that the
clothing of Texas was much more
casual than that of Iran.
Reaction to the Iranian cadets by
other members of the Corps and the
Military staff has been mostly posi
tive.
Colonel M. H. Ivins, head of the
Naval ROTC department, said that
the Iranian cadets “wear the un
iform well and seem to readily ac
cept discipline.” But he expressed
concern that the other cadets might
be slow in accepting them.
His worries seem to be un
founded, however, as reactions
have run from mild to enthusiastic.
Derrick Suehs, commander of
Company K-2, is convinced that the
Iranian cadets will make good Ag
gies and naval officers. David Hac-
kemeyer, who commands Company
N-l, is also impressed with the two
Imperial Naval candidates in his
unit.
The main obstacle Hafezizadeh,
Kavehkar and their countrymen
worry about is one of study time.
"We have heard many people
complain that they do not have
enough time to study, Hafezizadeh
said. “If there is not enough time for
them, there is certainly not enough
time for us.”

PHILADELPHIA — Television
ads, not your taste buds, probably
determine what beer you like best,
according to a recently published
study at the Wharton School of Bus
iness and Commerce.
The study tells of250 regular beer
drinkers who were given four diffe
rently labeled cans of beer. All 250
selected a favorite brand. Most said
they found one beer that tasted hor
rible.
All four cans contained the same
brand of beer.
The study, conducted by Whar
ton Profs. Russell L. Ackoff and
James R. Emshoff, was soundly at
tacked last week by the luncheon
crowd at Cavannaugh’s, a hospita
ble drinking spot only blocks from
the Wharton School.
“I not only can taste the differ
ence, I can smell it,” said Hank
Letherland, who says he is almost
60 years old and has been enjoying
beer since age 12 when he helped
his father mix home-brew in the
basement of their home.
“Even when I have a load on,"
said construction worker Jimmy
Brandt, 30, “1 know what I’m drink
ing. I give it light hack to the bar
tender, sometimes in the face. He
should know better than to give me
anything but my brand.”
Ackoff and Emshoff are consul
tants to Anheuser-Busch, Ine,,
brewer of Budweiser and other
beers. They invited 250 proven
beer quaffers to what they saidwasa
tasting session for four beers that
Anheuser-Busch was thinking of
putting on the market.
The participants were given a
psychological test to determine
what type or category of jverson they
might be: heavy drinker, light
drinker, extroverted, shy, what
ever.
The study says participants who
tested into a particular personality
category usually liked most the beer
that had been promoted in the TV
blurb by a personality with traits
from the same category.

Iranians grant
stilted interview
The Battalion encountered several problems in trying to inter
view the Iranian students in the Corps.
The first was an Iranian governmental regulation prohibiting
the cadets from speaking to reporters. The rule is one imposed on
all military personnel, but was waived after the Naval ROTC depart
ment contacted the Iranian embassy in Washington, D.C.
The Iranian liaison officer at first insisted the A&M ROTC de
partment screen the questions to be asked and supervise the inter
view. This was also waived, but the Naval ROTC department met
with the reporter before the interview and approved the text after
ward.
The Iranian cadets understood at all times that they were not to
answer any questions pertaining to government policies, petroleum
or any other controversial subject.
The final delay was due to the embassy’s desire to tell the
cadets directly that they would be allowed to take part in the inter
view.
The matter remained unresolved for two days due to scheduling
difficulties. The interview was eventually held without this formality,
but with the full approval of the Iranian embassy and the Naval ROTC
department.

HUNTSVILLE - Texas Depart
ment of Corrections (TDC) Director
W. J. Estelle, Jr. said Monday the
state prison system will suffer from
overcrowding by 1980.
Estelle, in a news release, said
there will be facilities for only
21,860 in five years under the de
partment s current building prog
ram .
But if the present trend con
tinues, there will be an inmate
population of 22,309 by 1980.
“The facts are clear, we are run
ning out of room,” Estelle said.
“With multiple factors contributing
to this trend of increasing commit
ments, there is no relief in sight.
Texas rate of parole is one-third
less than the rest of the country, he
pointed out. This could be im
proved if the Board of Pardons and
Paroles gets more resources, Es
telle said.
The Texas prison population has
grown from 12,622 in 1970 to more
than 18,000 this past August.
