Frick, an adminis trator with the Agricultural Stabiliza tion and Conservaton Service said food should be used for people not politics. He said that by using em- bargos against possible foreign buyers would cause more problems than it would solve. Frick said that by refusing a cus tomer, markets become unstable, leaving the farmers on the spot. The farmers should have a reliable mar ket for their goods so there is some stablitiy in thier income. Countries should be directed to use the technology avilable from the United States, by purchase or sub sidy, to produce their own food, Frick said.

The U.S. bases its policies on hopes that conditions will improve if diplomatic problems are ignored long enough. The U.S. policymakers are looking for a settlement giving neither nation a strategic position, Marshall said. In looking for that non-strategic peace the United States is losing whatever advantages it held over the U.S.S.R. The Soviets, in turn, are making full use of the U.S. position to strengthen their own. Soviet lead ers are not interested in peace with out superior power and will not negotiate for less. The paradox of growth at Texas A&M was explained by President Jack K. Williams to members of the Association of Former Students, in his annual State of the University Address, Sunday. Speaking in the ballroom of the College Station Ramada Inn, Wil liams said the quality of students, facilities, research, and education is improving at A&M but overcrowd ing is becoming a problem. He said the question now is how to restrict enrollment in a tax-supported state institution. “Right now we have no legal right to limit enrollment but the Coor dinating Board is trying to change that,” Williams said. The Coordinating Board is the highest administrative authority in the . state public higher education. The only law restricting enroll ment, Williams said, states the school can have no more than 15 per cent of its students from out-of-state and admission may not be denied to a qualified Texas resident. A&M attracts so many out-of-state students because it is less expensive than schools in their home states, Williams said. Among ideas being considered to limit enrollment are raising the entr ance requirements and limiting out-of-state admissions. “We can deny admission to out-of-state and international students except the sons and daughters of you, the alumni,” Williams said. He said the University could stop some de velopment of new programs but that would not be good for a university the size of A&M. Scholastic policies will be tight ened this fall to limit enrollment, Williams said. “We have allowed students to try and try semester after semester. Now we will re-evaluate a student and his record and if he can’t make it we will recommend that he leave.” He added, “We will urge students to start in the summer and some will have to start in the summer and spring to lighten the fall load. ” Williams said those who must start in the spring or summer are students who had low scores on their entrance examinations and high school grades but passed the entrance require ments. Williams said the student popula tion in the fall was 25,200 and that it had not dropped much in the spring. He said the University was setting a maximum of 30,000 to 40,000 stu dents which the University should reach by 1985 if growth continues at the present pace. Williams said that many programs would be expanded.
