Nixon, Retired Teacher,
Sees Nephew Nominated
First in a series of three articles developed from an interview
with Dr. E. L. Nixon, uncle of Republican presidential nominee
Richard M. Nixon.
The beauty of this country, the teacher often told his
students, is that anyone born here can become president.
He always added that he "would rather attend a nominat
ing convention •in either party than any other single event
IFC Approves
Greek Week
Dinner. Changes
Changes in the exchange din
ners to be held as a part of the an
nual Greek Week were approved
by the Interfraternity Council last
night. •
This year all the sorority wom
en participating in the program
will be entertained in the frater
nity houses and- no men will eat
in the residence dining halls, ac
cording to the motion passed. This
would mean that each fraternity
would entertain about 20 to - 25
women, each from a different sor
ority, according to Ron Smith,
IFC Greek. Week Exchange Din
ners co-chairman.
Plans to spread Greek Week
projects throughout the year were
also approved in a straw vote.
This program will probably go
into effect abOPt a month . after
Greek Week, said Cynthia Xan
thopolous, Panhellenic G r e.e k
Week co-chairman, who presented
the Greek Week report.
In other busipes, the council
discussed "Operation Backyard,"
a program introduced by !Toward
Mears, IFC member-at-large. "Op
eration Backyard," a plan de
signed to promote better relations
with townspeople, would involve
a general clean-up program.

in American history."
Years later the teacher—Dr.
E. L. Nixon—attended the 1960
Republican National Convention
in Chicago to see his nephew,
Vice President Richard M. Nixon,
nominated for the presidency of
the United States.
Dr. Nixon.• a retired Univer
sity professor who li4res in State
College, called the convention
"the greatest event of my life."
He said being handed the sheep
skin for his Ph.D. from Colum
bia did not mean half as much
as attending the Windy City
sessions. •
Dr. Nixon, saying he "didn't
miss a trick," stayed from start
to finish of the convention ses
sions. He was particularly im
pressed by the orderliness in the
convention hail, which he at
tributed to party unity. He said
there were too many Democrats
'in Los Angeles who were trying
"to shunt (Sen. John F.) Kennedy
toff."
. Asked about New York's Gov.
.Nelson A, Rockefeller, Dr. Nixon
called him a "man of great abil
ity, honest, but unversed in poli
tics." Rockefeller; he said, should'
not have started his program by
criticizing the administration.
Dr. Nixon, a professor of. plant
pathology while at the Univer
sity, agrees basically with his'
nephew's agriculture stands.

SGA Again
To Sponsor
Jet Flight
The Student Government
Association will again sponsor
its flight to Europe to provide
students with low-cost trans
portation abroad next sum
mer.
Last year SGA arranged for an
80-passenger plane at the special
rate of about $285 round-trip. Any
one officially associated with the
University for at least six months
and his or her wife or husband,
children or parents were eligible.
Because of the success of the
experiment, Richard Haber, SGA
president, said that SGA hoped to
charter a jet plane which would
make the trip in six hours. In or
der to keep the price near that of
last year's flight 140 passengers
are needed.
A turbo-jet would make the
flight in eight hours with 80-90
passengers. _
Registration for the 'student
flight will be held before the
Thanksgiving recess. Exact dates
and places will be published in
the Collegian.
