Brazilian grown coffee is put on freighters and shipped to the United States where it is processed and pack— aged and then sent back to Bra- lil. I wonder why they Call it "instant" coffee? This year’s crop of graduat- ing seniors who may have. on occasion, wondered about the relative merits of a college ed- ucation should take note of the results of a recent advertising agency survey. The survey found that college graduates are only half as susceptible to advertising messages as per- sons who have only had a high school education, President Johnson's “War on Poverty” (which at best might be termed a minor skirmish be: cause less than 1% of the fed eral budget of $98 billion is to be used in fiscal 1965 for the anti-poverty campaign as com- pared to $54 billion for defense, and'SS billion for space re- search) has already stirred a few citizens to words of out- rage. Repi Otto Passman (D- Lal) came out recently with the following rather unique critical statement “The Presi- dents statement that 20% of Americans are poverty stricken has led some people to believe were all starving to death.”— Remember Mr. Passman, we can't all be smart enough to in— herit a department store Tom Fullmer Miscellany and Digression Today's society is faced with m a n y perplexing problems. ,ivil rights, the developing na- eions, and the cold war are but a, few which receive prominent attention from the press, But, as has been pointed out by such people as James Reston, the press often gives little attention to the trends which cause those events which make headlines. Among these trends is what may be termed the technologie Cal revolution for lack of a bet- ter namel Everyone is aware of the presence of this revolution, but an understanding of the na- ture of this revolution and its implications for the future has not yet evolvedKAs yet we have not fully comprehended the type of society we have con- structed and what it means, C e r t a. i n manifestations of this revolution do make the headlines, . . r the breakdown in collective bargaining in the railroad and newspaper indus— tries and the unemployment statistics.

Statements to the effect that for each job destroyed by an advance in technology an equal or greater number are created offer no solution even if their doubtful accuracy is accepted. A railroad fireman, who has been working at a job that be« came Obsolete With the intro- duction of the diesel engine, will not be equipped to handle any jobs that might be created by advancing technology. Unions are faced with the conservative and even reaction- ary task of protecting the jobs of unutilized and unnecessary workers. Management, on the other hand must keep pace with the technological revolution by employing the latest in equip- ment. Neither the lives and fortunes of men nor the pace of science and technology can be denied. To deny either would be to in- vite ruin. Still something must be done, Retraining does not provide an adequate solution. It can be successful in only very limited circumstances and within very limited confines, Education as yet provides no answerr For the more educated men we pro- duce, the faster our society advances leaving us further and further behind. While management and labor argue and long-term unemploy» ment increases, the technolog- ical revolution irresistibly ad- vances creating both the won- ders and the problems of the twentieth century. If we let our society far outrrun our under~ standing of that society we in- yite disaster. } Commencement Continued from Page 1 a special convocation on Frie day morning.

The Senate Scene By WADE STEVENSON The Student Senate Wednesday night defeated a motion to appropriate $270 for a broken science building windowr A1 Gum< merson, C of HP representative, spoke in favor of the motion and explained that there was sufficient evidence to indicate that a student had broken the window with an empty liquor bottle, > During debate, a number of senators wished to know why the person responsible for the damage could not be appres hendedr Gummerson indicated that certain people knew who the guilty party was, but these people would not testify again? the person, When the vote was taken on the motion, not :- single senator voted to appropriate the money The Executive Cabinet vetoed a Senate resolution which required campus organizations to submit “detailed statement: of financial condition" to the Senate Appropriations Committee. Marilyn Alt moved that the vetoe be overridden by the Senate. While debating Miss Alt’s motion, Phil Johnson, S. G A. President, said that “when the Student Senate starts to in- volve itself in every organization’s finances, the Student GOV- ernment will get bogged down,” Johnson also said that such a resolution would cause an "inordinate amount of trouble.” Nancy Cox, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, said that “after talking with the Student Auditor, it is apparent that he thinks the resolution is a good one." After sufficient debate, the Senate upheld the Executive Cabinet's veto. Phil Johnson introduced a car rule resolution which read in part that the Student Senate “requests that the present rule be clearly defined, with attention to: a. The consequences of a violation of the rule. b. The offices responsible for the administration of the rule. 1:, The procedures to be used in handling any violation or request for exemption" In favoring the resolution, Johnson stated that “nobody seems to know who is responsible for car rule decisions and nobody seems to know who is responsible for apprehending the violators. Karen Adkinson Stated that “the Senate would be yielding initiative if it voted for this measure. Also, not enough time was given for Senators to come up with alternative proposals or amendments.” Miss Adkinson then moved that the resolution be postponed for a week. The motion was adopted by the Senate. Sam Grossman, Jerry Goddard, and Ed Johnson were ap- proved as menlbers of the Men's Primary Court. in a final bit of business, M " yn Alt moved that the Sen- ate send a directive to Paul Courtright to pick up a pop machine money box from Mrs, Lord in Haines Halli Miss Alt indicated that she had talked to Courtrlght at least three times about the money box. Nancy Cox explained that "Mr. Courtright has just gotten a typhoid shot and is a bit under the weather," Miss Cox indi- cated that a directive would not be necessary and that she would talk to Mr. Courtright about the money box. Amid ap< plause and laughter, the Senate defeated Miss Alt's motion for a directive and, in doing this, gave a vote of sympathy to those who must struggle through the rigors of typhoid shotsi Performers Chosen for ’Anything Goes;' Rehearsals Underway for May 13 Show Sing, Rick Geertz, Pete Wal- lace.
