. . . .President Janson has stated that Russia
stabbed us in the back with the Pueblo incident.
As a result, the President has decided not to
sell any more surplus wheat to Rustia. Instead,
he's going to give it to the Anti-Poverty Program
to feed the starving people of North Vietnam.
. . .There have been rumors circulating
throughout the country that President Johnson
and Senator Robert Kennedy really don't like
each other. President Johnson is concerned a
bout these ridic-lous rumors, and to show his
respect for Bobby's political career, he has
decided to give him an important appointment--
the vice-presidency.
. . . .West Germany and Japan, two of the
wealthiest rations, were defeated by the U.S.
in WWll.and made their climb to the top again
as a result of U.S. aid. If Ho Chi Minh was
really smart, he'd declare defeat, and let the
U.S. help make N. Vietnam a wealthy nation also.
. . . .The John Birch Society, in one of its
greater attempths to keep the minds of American
children from Communist influences, has de
clared that Mary Poppins was a Commie.
. . . .During the nnst 3 or 4 years, no one
heard much from Richard Nixon. The American
public assumed that he vas planning a rot dam
paign. In a private news release from the
almost-president, it was learned that he has
been taking privated dancing lessons in hopes
of furthering his campaign plans. Mr. Nixon
stated, "If George Murphy could nace his way
into the senate, then I am going to dance my
way into the Presidency." Well, didn't Luci
watusi Lyndon to the same position?
. . . .Charles DeGaulle of France has been
named "Man of the Year" for his many efforts
to keep peace in Canada. It was later announced
that DeGaulle will leave next week for a world
wide tour of France.
The membership of the SGA has been a
ligning itself, either pro or con, behind
the new constittion. The more liberal el
ement led by Vice President Bill Benko, Mike
Kosares and Sharon Mayer has taken a positive
stand on the constitution while the conservative
are becoming more and more aware of the fact
that questions without imagination lend nothing
to the writing of a constitution.
Certain members of the SGA who were out
spoken critics of the chairman-student body
presdient system provided for in the "new"
constitution had to wipe the egg off their
faces recently when a motion to abolish that
measure was defeated nine to three with three
abstentions.
Sandy Nupp, the "flag waving" critic of
the constitution who brought the motion to the
floor, had to eat her words as the SGA gave a
vote of condidence to the constitutional
committee and its controversial document.
BEHIND THE EMT
by Mike Kosares
Words out that John Milosh, instructor in
English,is being pressured to get his extra
long hair cut. For some unfounded reason,
there seem to be people on campus who feel
that long hair impedes one's performance in
the classroom. Strangely enough, anybody
who has had Milosh in class realize he's
fine teacher inspite of his long hair.
But at the same time, we can see the valid
ity the faculties' complaint--Long hair does
reduce one's brain Dower.
