00:00:03.799 - 00:00:32.849

Treatment, facilities are not yet adequate. Part of the new Special Action Office responsibilities is to be certain or conde a sufficient number of treatment programs so that no addict in the United States can claim that he is denied treatment. And I fully endorse this idea, say

00:00:32.869 - 00:00:55.180

that people who are addicted to drugs and did not commit a criminal act should be treated as criminals are set. No question about that. And soon I regret meaningful and effective treatment programs spread throughout this country. The closer we will come to our goal of reducing

00:00:55.189 - 00:01:25.860

the attic population. It is to make available to undergraduate and graduate students and other interested people. A basic collection in anthropology. This is impossible to get in almost any library because the library cataloging system was set up long ago and anthropology works are scattered from one

00:01:25.870 - 00:01:47.379

end to another of any library. Well, I'm not sure that I know yet. It doesn't disturb me an awful lot. I I'm not in favor of it, but at the same time, I think that if the government loses the entire report, which I doubt they do

00:01:49.599 - 00:02:13.210

that they'll understand that this goes hand in hand with a yeah, strong feeling on the part of the commission that marijuana should not be used and that, that you should be discouraged. Now, the problem is the age role is one of as. So there is a

00:02:13.220 - 00:02:44.960

real problem which is as much philosophical as anything else as to is the dividing point interfering with private behavior and, and behavior which affects the public welfare and safety. The commission has and in my opinion has not either called, says it's called for decriminalization, which is

00:02:44.979 - 00:03:06.250

kind of a code word apparently, but I don't think it's done that. It certainly hasn't legalized marijuana in any sense of the game because it appears in public and is discovered in public. It immediately said it's a seizure. Yeah, I think what it is recommending is

00:03:06.259 - 00:03:21.070

a change in penalty structure. Now, that is consistent with what we've been doing for the last several years. Rice lost the first game of a double header with Trinity this afternoon. 8 to 5. After five innings, the s had been ahead 4 to 2 but Trinity's

00:03:21.080 - 00:03:33.270

two hits and Rice's three errors in that inning. Chalked up the fatal three runs for the Tigers from San Antonio for the last six runs were unearned and pitcher Mike Pettitte was charged with the loss at last report. The ows led two to nothing in the

00:03:33.279 - 00:03:54.529

fifth inning in the second game, Jeff Lada. The news April five midnight is a deadline for registering to vote in the May 6th primary. We're keeping the offices open till midnight. That'd be here at three oh one center and downtown downtown la downtown Baytown and an

00:03:54.539 - 00:04:11.479

old part of Pasadena and our office there as well as our office which is on Cedar Street. All of those offices which is our main substation will be open to midnight. Anything postmarked April five also will be accepted. I might remind you that those new people

00:04:11.490 - 00:04:38.429

who have moved to Texas today, for example, can register by midnight tonight and participate in the May 6th primary. We're appealing to a wide variety of people to get behind George mcgovern and make him Texas candidate and doing it by organizing within their precincts. And we

00:04:38.440 - 00:04:52.470

see a great deal of enthusiasm. Now beginning to come, we're beginning to get a lot of the people who were backing Musky and only more or less because they felt there was no other choice that Musky was a sure winner. We're getting a lot of these

00:04:52.480 - 00:05:12.239

people now deciding that mcgovern who they thought was always right on the issues now has a chance to win. College had an opinion poll on Wednesday and it was uh an opinion poll concerning secession from the Student Association Senate, not the uh not the association itself,

00:05:12.250 - 00:05:27.420

but just the Senate. It was worded. Whereas the S A Senate does not contribute in any way to the students welfare. Be it resolved that Levi College withdraw its support from the S A Senate, both financially and politically. It passed 100 and 8 to 43. The

00:05:27.429 - 00:05:42.059

second one was, do you support a central committee drive for a new S A constitution? 100 and 44 said 100 and 14 said yes. 35 said no. The third one was, do you support a central committee drive to have senate funds returned to love it? That

00:05:42.070 - 00:05:57.450

is, do you wish the Senate's portion of the blanket tax return to you? 100 and 17 said yes and 32 said no. So they all passed. I think it's only going to help him in many ways. Mr Muskie entered early and you see what's happening to

00:05:57.459 - 00:06:08.279

him. Now, I think people are going to be looking towards a dark horse candidate. I think Mr Sanford is going to come on strong in the last two months. He's coming on much stronger now. I think people are going to be looking at someone that they

00:06:08.290 - 00:06:20.290

can believe in, but yet at the same time can pull us together. And that, that definitely is Terry Sanford. And as evidence of that, I point to a statement made by Senator Mike Mansfield the other day saying that he hoped the Democratic Party did nominate a

00:06:20.299 - 00:06:34.079

dark horse and he could think of no final of people in either Ruben Askew or Terry Sanford. Texas. Governor Preston Smith has made an effort to get on the good side of the newly enfranchised young voters in Texas with the establishment of an office of ombudsmen

00:06:34.089 - 00:06:49.100

for Youth Affairs. Exactly what is the ombudsman for Youth Affairs? Smith says it's a special office to represent young people and be their so called troubleshooter in government available for questions and problems of the young in regard to state government. The governor announced the creation of

00:06:49.109 - 00:07:04.679

the new office in an address Thursday to the third annual Governor's conference for college student body presidents in Austin Rice Student Association, President Lou Hancock is in Austin attending that conference through Saturday, the office will be filled by Bill Wright, a former student body president at

00:07:04.690 - 00:07:17.429

South West Texas State University in San Marcus. Now an intern at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs. According to Smith, he's the first governor in the nation to create such an office. And he said that if the office is successful, he may expand it

00:07:17.440 - 00:07:33.059

to serve all Texans. Not only the young, awfully nice of the governor to set up an office to let the people know what's going on in their government. Johnny Busek, the news all came in one inning. They produced four runs overcoming a two to nothing deficit,

00:07:33.070 - 00:07:49.320

putting the Owls up by two. Then Donny Brogna's great throw to the plate in the fifth squelched a longhorn rally and Dave Pettit's pitching did the rest. The Owls had an intensely satisfying 4 to 3 victory. Then the younger half of Rice's brother act, a sophomore

00:07:49.329 - 00:08:06.190

pitcher, Mike Pettit came on to fire a priceless three hit shutout in the night cap virtually heaving the squad to the consummation of their dream day. Mike's masterpiece marked the first time Texas has been shut out this season and the regulars provided four runs in support.

00:08:06.200 - 00:08:21.730

Sheldon Kaufman single, Joe Zelko cross with the winning run in the first inning and Lynn Shelby sacrificed flying the third, a Texas era with the bases loaded in the fifth and Bobby Potter's clutch single in the seventh provided the insurance. The conference record is now six

00:08:21.739 - 00:08:38.539

wins, five losses. The Long Horn is just a game and a half ahead at five and three. Well, Rice has dampened Texas's conference championship hopes considerably and the two teams do battle again at one o'clock tomorrow. Don't miss it. This is Phil Jones, the news, the

00:08:38.549 - 00:08:57.469

moderator of the panel is going to be doctor Herman Barnett. Now he's on the school board and the other members are um Curtis Graves, Carol Pinkett, Mrs Pauline Kelly and um Mr Robert Bignell. I see. And what are your activities are planned for the day? Um

00:10:04.849 - 00:10:21.479

a dance by the same band, but it's not gonna be a part of the memorial. It's just gonna be um like a three hour dance for anyone who wants to come. The most outstanding philosopher of our century. Professor Gilbert Roll of Oxford University is on campus

00:10:21.489 - 00:10:37.309

for a three week visit. Dr Rao is an important critic of the separation of mind and body theory that has been the underlying theme of philosophy since dear in the 16th century. He rejects what he calls the dogma of the ghost in the machine for a

00:10:37.320 - 00:10:54.030

much less depressing picture of the human character. So if you want to be enlightened or just entertained. Attend one of his lectures. He's a good speaker and even better in dialogue with lots of wit. Dr Ra's lectures will be complemented by lectures on his works by

00:10:54.039 - 00:11:13.390

other philosophers. Scheduled for the remainder of this week is a lectured Friday at three PM by Dr Virgil Aldrich of the University of North Carolina. Next Tuesday at four, Dr Sloane will speak on sensation, feeling and experience an important part of Ra's work. Wednesday the 19th

00:11:13.400 - 00:11:30.549

at three pm. Doctor A jean will speak on reference and existence. All of these lectures will be in three oh nine Sewell Hall. Dr Rao will be present each lecture to answer questions and respond to any arguments. If you're interested in a more detailed schedule. Go

00:11:30.559 - 00:11:49.390

out the philosophy department office on the third floor of Razor Hall K R will broadcast excerpts from his lecture on thinking and self teaching. Saturday at 6 45 on the rice report, Donna Moore, the news. Well, that kind of thing has been going on ever since

00:11:49.400 - 00:12:01.929

I can remember. I'm sure it's been going on too long. And the reason that you have that is that if you don't pay your legislators anything, they're going to find other ways to supplement their salaries. Now, the reason that those guys, you know, and I can

00:12:01.940 - 00:12:16.590

think of 10 guys from Houston who had sons working as pages in the in the Senate. Now, you know, the reason that that was happening is that, you know, the fellow was up there and he wanted his son to work and personally, I don't member of

00:12:16.599 - 00:12:30.650

the legislature and while he was up, he got to be there, his son is working in the Senate. Now, now, if there's he going on, if somebody is on somebody's payroll for fraudulent purposes, then I think it ought to be stopped. But if you pay a

00:12:30.659 - 00:12:47.309

man $400 a month and expect him to go up there and pass laws for you, you joking, he's not gonna supplement his salary either legitimately or Illegit Nobel Prize winning chemist Yuri believes that the solar system once contained many bodies, the signs of the moon that

00:12:47.320 - 00:13:01.369

were swept together to form the earth and the other planets according to the solar system, again, a huge amount of gas which contracted to form the th lumps of gas and silence spun off and the wall was contracting and there were numerous collisions where the once

00:13:01.380 - 00:13:20.340

joined. The process continued until the present planets were formed. Those lumps that didn't collide remain today and to the planets. Jeffs, the news, Mr Williams is a great guy, but he tends to be a little bit old fashioned at times. And uh, uh I feel most

00:13:20.349 - 00:13:37.409

of the players agree with me that this is sort of archaic rule and while he's doing the job and really put it on the map, Houston and all over the country. I believe we should try to see our point of view. Well, we're not getting paid

00:13:37.419 - 00:13:56.400

by the hour to go out and get practice balls. I could do it your age and school around the country. I'll be damned if I'm going to get my head because Mr College got to, the announcement was made by W E Gordon, Dean of Science and

00:13:56.409 - 00:14:12.469

Engineering at Rice Dr Wa, one of the first physical chemists to make extensive use of high speed digital computers to obtain solutions to statistical mechanical problems. Has been for many years for his research in chemistry. He received the American Chemical Society Award in Pure Chemistry in

00:14:12.479 - 00:14:34.229

1945 and the University of Minnesota's Outstanding Achievement Award in 1959. He has been a consultant to industry and government for more than 25 years at rise. Dr we will teach both graduate and undergraduate students as well as continuing an active research program, Sandy Moss uh myself

00:14:34.239 - 00:14:53.080

uh Dean Desio Mrs Hackman, Professor o'neill alumni representative uh Mr Kraen and music, uh Mr Havens and drama all got together and uh we said, well, we already have a number of things kind of focused on this weekend. Why don't we uh uh sort of draw

00:14:53.090 - 00:15:08.739

it all together, coordinate it uh do some more things. And uh I just started a showcase and the idea is basically again, is sort of uh bring a number of things together and uh publicize it, bring it to the attention of the general public, to the

00:15:08.750 - 00:15:27.500

alumni, to the students and faculty just to indicate what is going on in the art to rise. And not much to say, the Owls were definitely flat coming off their dream sweep of Texas to play nonconference opponent, University of Houston baserunning mistakes by the Owls coupled

00:15:27.510 - 00:15:44.344

with a two run sixth on the Cougars part cost Rice. The opener, the losing pitcher was sophomore, a Mike Pettit. His record is now five wins, four losses despite his ma 0.96 earned run average in the night cap. A great effort by sophomore pitcher Bruce Henley

00:15:44.354 - 00:16:00.650

went for not as Cougar Hurler John Kinski shut the listless Owls out on five scattered singles. The losses of course do not damage the Owl second place standing in the conference from the R diamond. This is Phil Jones. The news, a power failure has been the

00:16:00.659 - 00:16:16.090

cause of darkness for part of the Rice campus today. Both Brown and Jones Colleges, the master's houses and the president's house are under a temporary blackout and has been since 3 26 this afternoon. The cause of the failure is still unknown building and grounds so they

00:16:16.119 - 00:16:30.289

have hope of discovering the cars in three or four hours. Meanwhile, a power generator is being moved in for doctor Heckman who was expecting 60 guests at six o'clock tonight. Other plans er, are parties at both Jones and Brown Colleges. The main fear of building and

00:16:30.299 - 00:16:48.599

grounds is not that the residents of Jones and Brown will die from heat or from claustrophobia but that the women's colleges will be invaded by the entire male population of rice at 11 54 PM. Houston time tomorrow. Man's sixth mission to the moon begins. Navy Captain

00:16:48.609 - 00:17:03.520

John Young and air force, Lieutenant Colonel Charles Duke expect to make Man's fifth landing on the moon and the first in the lunar mountains near the credit de carte about 150 miles from the tranquility base landing site of Apollo 11 on Thursday afternoon of this week.

00:17:04.040 - 00:17:23.160

Navy Lieutenant Commander Thomas Mattingly meanwhile will orbit the moon and conduct extensive scientific and photographic tasks. The spacecraft named for this mission is Casper named after the friendly ghost of the cartoons. The lunar module will be Orion after the constellation. The flight duration is 12 days,

00:17:23.170 - 00:17:41.459

two hours and 36 minutes and the cost of the mission is $445 million. The flight will splash down in the Pacific about 1000 miles south of Hawaii Friday, April 28 at 3 30 PM K T will be at the manned spacecraft center throughout the mission for

00:17:41.469 - 00:18:01.939

extensive coverage of all mission events. Rick news. These five candidates received the most votes in the election held on April 14th for the young and Charles Duke will make three excursions on the lunar surface on their second trip, they will attempt to drive 700 ft up

00:18:01.949 - 00:18:14.390

the side of Stone Mountain, which is thought to have a slope of about 12 degrees, approximately that of a gentle ski slope. But young expects there may be steeper areas, they'll have to challenge develop of the rover. Believe that man may benefit from many of the

00:18:14.400 - 00:18:30.619

concepts developed for the vehicle such as the vehicle's hand control stick that incorporates all features of driving, including turning and braking. Although other possible lunar transportation methods were considered such as backpack rockets and pogo sticks. The Boeing company said it just turned out that the good

00:18:30.630 - 00:18:51.760

old American automobile was the best way to do it. Johnny, the news, they haven't been ignored. The president has the recommendations of that commission under study and I remind you that the steps have already been taken to diminish the federal penalties for possession as opposed to

00:18:51.770 - 00:19:14.849

pushing the president studies these matters, he receives reports from new commissions. This one happens to be of interest to the liberal community and thereby runs itself into the consciousness of you. In the news media. I could probably tell you whether reports commit to streamline and modernize

00:19:14.859 - 00:19:40.599

the government that's never had two minutes on this station in discussion, reform by drug laws and I favor a quantitative approach whereby a certain amount of drugs in possession would legally presume the person in possession to be a seller and with a death penalty. Uh and

00:19:40.609 - 00:20:00.599

then to consider lesser, lesser penalties for, for lesser amounts of drugs in possession. I do not favor just the, I do not propose just changing a part of the drug laws. I would, I would propose rewriting the drug laws entirely. Well, no, I really wasn't because

00:20:01.040 - 00:20:18.869

at the time I filed a petition I was not to run for secretary treasurer Robert Hilton was running at the time when he was due for the election. Um, I entered my name I registered because it was reopened and that's the sole reason. It's sort of

00:20:18.910 - 00:20:41.359

a, the subsequent action rather than a, than a, uh, I think it was opportunistic ob obviously, but it wasn't illegal. No, it was it unethical. Well, the room itself is empty. Uh, they dragged all the furniture, metal beds and things out and, uh, the desk is

00:20:41.369 - 00:21:01.989

still in it. The room has got pretty extensive smoke damage over one half the room, the paint and plaster scorched off the roof and one entire wall and there was extensive smoke damage to just about everything that was in the room and books. Everything that, uh,

00:21:02.719 - 00:21:31.500

was in any way, possibly damaged was pretty well ruined. They, most of it in trash cans and shoveled out all the plaster and such. It was on the floor and we down the carpet and everything, put out the fire, that set of cars. There's no matter

00:21:34.280 - 00:22:15.589

that's that. Yeah, been in this area at the time and survive and no, they fired 6100 main college dormitory room 2 22. Mhm. It occurred 4 18 72 at 23 oh two hours. Is an incendiary and is at this time under investigation and the investigation will

00:22:15.599 - 00:22:35.900

be pursued at such time as the person or persons involved are apprehended the right on pitch this afternoon. And their team up double header with the Lamont University Cardinals two rise, Hurler Steve holder in the first game and Larry Rene in the second, held the cards

00:22:35.910 - 00:22:50.040

to a grand total of two hits and no runs in 14 innings of play. Rene fired a no hitter holder got all the help he required from this blue clad comrades in the sixth frame in the opener. Outfielder John Jacobson led the in and off with

00:22:50.050 - 00:23:08.719

the devil and was sacrificed to third by holder Joe Zilker. Then cracked a clean single to left to hand. Hold his first victory of the season. Rice won, but this afternoon's goes to Larry Rene. The sophomore from Los Angeles made only one base runner in the

00:23:08.849 - 00:23:25.109

game on a walk in the fourth inning again. The regulars waited until the sixth inning to score their run. Phil Costa walked with two out, moved to third on Larry Day's single and scored as the Lamar shortstop mishandled Tommy La's hard hit grounder to put the

00:23:25.119 - 00:23:44.959

winning run on the big blue board in Larry Renault's name in the record Books from the Rice Diamond. This is Phil Jones. The news in the first playoff game, the league co champion Araba surprised the highly thought of his kids winning the 16 to 15 speaker

00:23:44.969 - 00:24:01.540

with five runs in the last in the two other Monday league coach. And the started out in the second game of the quarterfinals with Alan surprising Nads winning a wild and Wooly 25 to 12 affair this afternoon. The Bang game took advantage of a bang team

00:24:01.989 - 00:24:22.310

to grab an early lead and held off the scrambling Tuesday champions to win 10 to 7. Then the third league winners, the Seahawks and the Scott Linton eliminated coach coach Pro Pro by an 11 to 8 score. This is Phil Jones. The news, most of my

00:24:22.319 - 00:24:44.489

practice has, uh, involved, uh, trial work. I'm with what is known as a trial lawyer and I feel that, uh, one of the qualifications for a judge should be that he should have been an experienced trial lawyer because, uh, after all, he was sitting in judgment

00:24:44.930 - 00:25:07.020

of, uh, case is being tried and if he's not an experienced trial lawyer and he won't understand the problems of the litigants, he won't understand the problems of the lawyers. And, uh, this is important and, uh, thing the Dutch had done. Is there anything that you

00:25:07.050 - 00:25:23.459

feel of the present court system or the present people who are involved, um, as judges that you'd like to see changed that you'd like to see, done differently. Well, I'd like to see, um, uh, I'd like to see more judges elected to the bench rather than

00:25:23.469 - 00:25:46.469

appointed to the bench. We, um, it was very seldom that we actually elect a district judge because ordinarily judges retire or possibly die between elections and when that happens, the governor appoints the judge and that does serve until the end of this term and then he

00:25:46.479 - 00:26:03.150

usually does run for reelection at that time, but he's usually gonna, so for all practical purposes, the public has never really elected a judge from, uh, from the beginning very often. I would say most of our district judges have first started out as appointments and then

00:26:03.160 - 00:26:27.099

sought re-election and in most cases were unopposed, very reason that you would have a particular appeal over the 18 to 21 year old voters. Well, uh, I think that, uh, I have a, they have a for their needs and their, uh, um, their problems and then

00:26:27.140 - 00:26:51.619

I'm old enough to have had enough experience in the, uh, practice of them all as well as experiences in my own life to, um, give me the proper background for, uh, the job I'm seeking. And I think that the combination of the sensitivity for the, for

00:26:51.630 - 00:27:14.890

that age group as well as the background experience, uh, any particular type of case that you specialize in. Well, I've, I've tried many types of civil suits. I would say that I have uh probably uh done more what we call suits for and it's worse than

00:27:14.900 - 00:27:33.670

the other. That is where you represent the party, bringing the lawsuit against another party. Federal Magistrate Ronald J bla found probable crimes to try. Four male and four female anti war demonstrators arrested in Houston last Friday for treating themselves to the federal building. One black student,

00:27:33.680 - 00:27:48.329

Cliff Dane, all eight will be tried Monday April 24th at 9 30 in judge bla court on the misdemeanor charge of blocking the entrance to the building. As a result of yesterday's hearing, the four men also faced the felony charge of forcibly interfering with federal marshals.

00:27:48.739 - 00:28:08.040

Judge Glass held the four under $2000 bail ap piece pending an indictment by a federal grand jury. Assistant us attorney Herbert Novak will present the indictment and the felony charges carry a maximum of three years in jail and or a $5000 fine. Jeffs. The news K

00:28:08.089 - 00:28:22.550

Ballard, one of the most sought after athletes in the nation last year turned into the most impressive showing in the final workout prior to Friday night's blue gray game which closes spring training. His ball handling and running ability elicited the comment from defensive coach Charlie Bailey.

00:28:22.560 - 00:28:36.380

He's a winner. Ballard had missed his freshman season in most of the Springs training season because of knee surgery. Although his knee is still at less than full strength. Ballard proved himself to be a tough quick runner while running the third unit offense against the number

00:28:36.390 - 00:28:56.020

one defense, Sandy Moss the knees in the all American Intercollegiate Invitational golf tournament today at the Atascosa golf course just north of Houston Rice had a respectable total of 3 22 for Rice. John Scott had a 78. Gary Conway had an 80 and Ted steed and

00:28:56.030 - 00:29:10.300

Mark Napier both had 80 twos. Mark Johnson, the fifth man on the team came in with an 83 Rice finished 10 shots ahead of Baylor, which is surprising and they were just two shots behind Texas Tech, which is very surprising. However, the rice total was far

00:29:10.310 - 00:29:24.680

behind the leaders, which of course is not so surprising. The University of Texas wonder boy, Ben Crenshaw was not hitting the ball well today and even with a hot putting hand could only manage a 74. He is human. Tom Kite also of national champion. Texas was

00:29:24.689 - 00:29:47.670

medallist with a 65 but that takes up a lot of the slack. The tournament continues until Saturday. Go Rice. They'll leave the news. One is that it is coercive. It's a strike which tried to shut down an institution really tries to impose the will of the

00:29:47.680 - 00:30:02.670

majority if it is a majority on those who don't happen to agree with them. And that's wholly inconsistent with a free society, let alone a free academy. Secondly, it's grossly irrational in the sense that if the object of protest is not the university. Then the university

00:30:02.680 - 00:30:26.439

should not be the subject of disruption and terribly, it's politically stupid because it is wide open and terribly vulnerable to a spokesman for the government who no could easily have disparaged such forms of protest. It is clear from the position and non position of the other

00:30:26.449 - 00:30:48.030

candidates that they have no stomach for a tough belt tightening, belt tightening approach to state spending. They intend to make no real effort to hold down spending or taxes. They unfortunately find it easier to say yes than to say no to the never ending request which

00:30:48.040 - 00:31:10.680

obligate and overspend the taxpayers' money I will present and the legislature must pass a top workable and constitutional code of ethics for public officials act to establish a statewide food stamp program. It must help to develop programs of childhood development so that every child in our

00:31:10.689 - 00:31:31.050

state will have abundant opportunities in the years ahead. And it must consider the important questions of how to reduce insurance rates and take action on the Texas Proprietary School Act. There will be other subjects too which I will submit to the special session but only after

00:31:31.060 - 00:31:51.949

the legislature completes its work on the appropriations bill for 1973. There will be no new taxes signed into law by Preston Smith. During the next special session. I will present a budget that will require no new taxes and I will use every available authority of the

00:31:51.959 - 00:32:13.229

governor's office. To ensure that such a budget is enacted by the legislature. This is a commitment to you and a friendly warning to the legislature, no new taxes will be acceptable and no new taxes will be signed into law. Taxes will live within its means with

00:32:13.239 - 00:32:34.300

a sensible budget which is by you and which requires no new taxes. The only candidate in the governor's race who can and will ensure if it made no difference in what are the candidates were listed. And I don't believe that, but if it made no difference,

00:32:34.310 - 00:32:49.020

then it shouldn't matter if they were determined in a random manner rather than alphabetical. However, if it does make a difference and I think it does because in all elections, uh the candidates are concerned in all real elections, the candidates are concerned about the order in

00:32:49.030 - 00:33:08.829

which they're listed, then everyone should have an equal opportunity to be listed. 1st, 2nd or last. The method used was to prepare with a stack of cards with the names of the candidates to take a deck of cards to shuffle both of them to draw cards

00:33:08.839 - 00:33:30.250

from the top and associate candidates with cards and then to rank the candidates on the ballot in each race according to the value of the card. Ace high and space high. The student member of the committee on examinations and standings has been raised from a consultant

00:33:30.260 - 00:33:50.959

to a full member. Also, the University council is recommending that the student consultants on the graduate council standing committee and the admissions committee be raised to full members. If the committee feels that it's appropriate. In the financial aid committee, the student consultants have been raised from

00:33:50.969 - 00:34:10.330

1 to 2 in number, but they will not be voting members due to the fact that personal records of the students are involved. A reduction would allow students to spend a great amount of time in concentrated areas of interest that they could take four choose to

00:34:10.340 - 00:34:29.280

take four courses perhaps in the senior year and uh go into an in depth study of their field. And also that it would help um for incoming freshmen, particularly in the area of science and engineering to perhaps take a lighter load and adjust to rice conditions

00:34:29.290 - 00:34:48.658

uh better. And also that it would help disadvantaged students get a grip on the university in the first semester. It will be open 9 to 2 Anderson Hall that is the chair outside Anderson Hall. It will be open 9 to 2. There will be a pool

00:34:48.668 - 00:35:09.260

at the training table which will be open uh basically during lunch. Although the time the exact time has not been determined yet, and there will be polls in each college. A recently passed election rule requires that the colleges have polls open from 11 30 AM to

00:35:09.270 - 00:35:27.600

one PM and allows them to have polls open from seven AM to seven PM. The exact times except for 11 30 to 1 are left to the election committee chairman of the college concerned each year, some 30,000 persons around the world receive artificial heart valves which

00:35:27.610 - 00:35:42.540

consist of a ball floating inside a bird cage like device, metallic valves which are covered with cloth appear to be more durable and longer lasting than the metallic non covered valves. Because protein elements in the bloodstream react to the cloth to form a new lining or

00:35:42.550 - 00:36:01.280

living membrane. So in response to this new information, Dr E J Zinni of Brazil has begun to make new valves out of human brain tissue obtained in autopsies. So far, the experimental operations of this minor breakthrough have been extremely successful. David R the news, I have

00:36:01.290 - 00:36:21.310

directed Ambassador Porter to return to the negotiating table in Paris tomorrow. But with one very specific purpose in mind, we are not resuming the Paris talks simply in order to hear more empty propaganda and bombast from the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong delegates. But to get

00:36:21.320 - 00:36:44.159

on with the constructive business of making peace, I have decided that Vietnamization has proved itself sufficiently that we can continue our program of withdrawing American forces without detriment to our overall goal of ensuring South Vietnam's survival as an independent country. And consequently, I am announcing tonight

00:36:44.169 - 00:37:03.709

that over the next two months, 20,000 more Americans will be brought home from Vietnam. This is meeting this afternoon, the rice faculty sent the curriculum committee's proposal to reduce degree requirements from 40 courses to 36 back to the committee. Although the plan had been endorsed by

00:37:03.719 - 00:37:14.429

the University Council last week, the faculty felt that not enough time had been allowed for debate. The proposal is expected to come up again at the first faculty meeting next fall. Jeff lands the news.
