I’dall said But I can assist from Washington I’dall had been just as frank in talking about the future of Israel in a suburban New York synagogue No one has the solution The best thing we can do is to hunker down and just live it out." Another clue to Mo L’dall in the Milwaukee speech is the- was he Irrought a comples and controsersial issue around to his main tlieme — unemployment J-O B-S It s the- centerpicve nl file Morns I’dall campaign, said Tom kiley, I’dall s national cam paign director "The issue before the voters is jol»s.

It is true that international stu- dents arriving at A6cM from all over tlie world lace problems with hous ing — just as many Americans also find difficulties in finding places to live, and this problem will lie greatly accentuated next hill In this respect, the article showed some ic- semblanct* to quality journalism — "telling it like it is " I have Im'cii at \6c.M long enough to ex|>erieiKe generalizations made hy jienple such as the apartment owners cited in the article. I have finally put this down to simple ignor- -ance. There exists definite problems with some internationals concerning leases and the condition of the apartment when the. tenant vacates. But. is it not also true that similar conditions exist with many Ameri cans — then why the singling out ol the internationals? I challenge these apirtmeut owners tocite actual cases of such abuse, and to refrain from generalizations Nothing can he gained from generalities. There are real problems — prob lems we must work with together to come to a satisfactory solution to all parties. The International Students Association winks closely with the International Advisors office* during orientation. I hereby extend an inv itation to a representative of tin* apartment owners of this community to attend this orientation session, to discuss problems concerning housing lor new students. Understanding can break down igiHirance. so let’s get together. Anthony Neil President. International Stu. Assoc.

I’m sure that in a mat ter of a few hours one could easily locate some good clean American students who are guilty of many of these same "offenses II TAM l is to truly become a respected university and center of learning then it will have to learn to educate |K*ople (not just Americans'! Since I have only recently come to AflcM, I sincerely hope that the views eXpressgdjLn the story are not heWby the'lnajortty °f the population (and I don t really think they are). lastly, one apartment ow ner said he was going to require larger secu rity deposits from international stu dents. fm no lawyer hut the legal implications of such a |>olicy should certainly Ik* investigated. John Hogg Laundry blues Editor: Caution: to all those using the* university laundry serv ice. The A6iM Laundry is literally attempting to "take the shirt off your hack Upon opening my laundry on April 2. I found the following articles missing: three dress shirts, lour T-shirts, one pair of pants, two pair of cutoffs and one pillowcase. After tiling my claim. I waited 13days,live days more than the normally re quired time. Iiefore returning to tin* laundry. Even after this extended time. Mr Williams, the laundry manager, asked me to wait another week Already tired of wearing the same old shirt for two weeks, I went to see Colonel Johnson, head of tin* Ctnndry Board. He invited me to the next Laundry' Board (composed of five students and five staff mem bers' meeting to Ik* held on April 15. Upon hearing my story, the board proceeded to settle my claim using a standard policy for lost articles. First, they figured in a depreciation factor which lowered my original re placement estimation from approx imately $80 to $66.70. Next, accord ing to this policy the following stipu lations were made III find any of the lost articles, the laundry w ill reim burse me only fifty per cent of the depreciated amount for the remain ing lost articles. If tin* laundry finds any of tin* lost articles, they will reimburse one hundred per cent of the depreciated value minus the re turned clothing. And. if this doesn t make vour col ors run! II none ol the articles arc- found, the laundry "service will reimburse only 75 per cent ol the $66.70. Tills 75 per cent is actually 25 per cent higher than the* rate's set hy the* policy This generosity was extended hy the* hoard because, as tlie*y put it. I seemed sincere.' Thereby implying that I am 25 per cent at fault for turning my laundry in to iK-gin with Although tins may Ik* a lost cause*.

He said later he tlKiught abortion was wrong, but did not favor passage of a constitutional amendment to prohibit it Ford favors giving each state the power to adopt its own reg ulations through legislation or public vote 1 Tin* strongest Udall outlKirst in unite aw hile came m New Y ork as he described former Georgia Gov. Jimmv Carter s position on the jol>s lull "Fudge, fudge, fudge,” he shouted. But the bottom line is always jobs. When he’s attacking Jackson on defense spending, it conies down to jol»s. "We don't need B 1 iKiinliers and Trident submarines, he said in -Neenah, Wis. "We need more jobs." "Defense spending sprees — as suggested hy some in this presiden tial contest — actually cost jol>s.” he said in Stevens Point. (Jackson has urged-increasing the size* of the Navy from 477 ships to over 600. He says he is opposed to the B 1 lumber program and would cut it from the defense budget.) Environmental protection. Udall contends, is g(K»d for the unem ployed Here in Steveiis Point," he said, "environmental efforts have created jobs." In Manitowoc the local issue is a rail ferrv service alxnit to Ik* discon tinued. 1 stand with Mayor Anthony Dufek of Maintowoc in urging all m**m0*ii possible assistance to preserv e Lake Michigan rail ferry service,” Udall said. "It means the savings of jobs that would lie lost. Udall supports a hill in Congress sponsored by Sen. Hubert H. Hum phrey, D-Minn.. and Rep. Augustus Hawking, D-Calif., which proposes to create five million jobs and bring the unemployment rate down to about 3 per cent in 18 months. Everywhere he goes. Udall makes a pitch lor this bill as the answer to the jobs problem, which he pictures as the central problem of the economy. ’People in America want to work," he says at every stop. "The sun came up this morning and America went to work today. But eight million of them wanted to go to work and there w*asn t any work. The first order of business on Jan. 20 (presidential inauguration day) is going to be to put America to work The phrasing and emphasis may change slightly from place to place and audience to audience. But the solutions offered are the same. To the nation's mayors, meeting in New York. Udall says the federal government should protect the major cities from financial collapse as it did for New York last winter. Then he goes into the suburbs and says the same thing. "And l said it in George Wallace’s Alabama, he re minds crowds in upstate New York and agricultural mid-state Wiscon sin. "If New York falls, Rochester might he next, or Milwaukee or Phoenix." Udall also talks alxmt foreign pol icy, saying he agrees with efforts to ward detente with the Soviet bkx* hut, like other administration critics, arguing that the United States isn’t getting enough in the bargaining. He praises the Ford-Kissinger ap proach in general terms, hut again says maylK* Kissinger should have gotten more in the Siani accord, principally Egyptian agreement to negotiate directly with Israel. As part of his economic program. Udall hits strongly at the large cor- porations which he accuses of con trolling the economy through competition-killing monopoly. "We re going to break ’em up. he told an election eve rally in Mil waukee. "And th«* lag oil companies, too. What we need is some g<x>d old American eom|x*tition Udall continues to struggle with an identity problem despite months of campaigning One ol his aides was sitting in the lobby ol a New York hotel when someone noticed the campaign entourage passing through and asked what all the commotion was uIxmiL Brazos Valley Art League 8 and 9 9am — 6pm *7?: NOW AVAILABLE IN COLLEGE STATION PASSPORT PHOTOS IN LIVING COLOR — INSTANTLY UNIVERSITY STUDIO 115 College Main • Northgatc • 846-8019 iUsiUiiUUissisiUuiiisisiiiiiiiiisiiiiisiiiiii 1 TEXAS AirM UNIVERSITY PRESENTS cIcvilANd ORCHESTRA LORIN MAAZEL conducting “Maazel led the orchestra in a concert that left no doubt that Cleveland still has one of the world’s magnificent symphonic ensembles.” DONAL HENAHAN, NEW YORK TIMES WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1976 8:00 P.M.
