News Briefs Textile Limitd Set TOKYO - Negotiators for Japan and the United States agreed Friday night to limits to be set on the flow of Japanese textiles into the American market. The agreement ends a three year dispute between the two governments which had been threatening their relations. The agreement will stimulate President Nixon's economic plan and will fulfill a 1968 campaign promise to the American textile industry. However, Japanese politics have been aggravated and Premier Esaku Sato is under fire because the United States has made no concessions. Nobel Prizes STOCKHOLM - In announcing the first two Nobel Prizes for this year, the faculty of Karolinska In stitute and the Swedish Roya Academy of Sciences have honored two Americans. The first was Dr. Earl W. Sutherland, Jr., a professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. He received his award, valued at $88,000 cash, in physiology and medicine for his basic discoveries in hormones. His work is expected to lead to the control of certain diseases, including cancer. Simon Kuznets, an economist and statistician, will receive the prize in economic science, valued at $90,000. Kuznets'award was for no particular work, but for his overall contributions to the field of economics, ■ Water On Moon HOUSTON - Equipment left on the moon by Apollo astronauts has detected the presence of subsurface pools of water on the moon. The water has been found in vapor form which is coming from an undetermined point in the moon. Geochemists have already stated that the rocks brought back are not the type that harden in the absence of water. In the light of this recent discovery, they feel the moon is not completely dead, but is still experiencing volcanic action. Foreign Aid Cut WASHINGTON - The Senate Foreign Relations Committee acted Thursday in showing its disapproval of U. S. involvement in Southeast Asia by cutting $850 million from the administration's request for $3.3 billion for foreign aid. The committee still has to consider a third part of President Nixon's request, which asked $510 million for foreign military sales. A large cut is also expected in this area. The committee also considered an amendment by Senators John Sherman Cooper and Frank Church, which would deny the President the power to use U. S. troops to stabilize the military and government in Vietnam. The committee has delayed voting on this until the House has a chance to vote on a related Senate - passed plan of Sen. Mike Mansfield.

Eligible Organizations Cut In Half By BECKY NICHOLSON Each year those organizations on campus that provide a service to the college and its members meet the qualifications set by the Student Activities Committee and are permitted to receive appropriations from the committee. The Student Activities Committee has allotted $58,000 for the year 1971-72 to 18 organizations, which is half the number of organizations which received funds last year. Those groups which have not been included in the appropriations this year include the honorary societies, the organist guild, Orchesis,Lychnos,MENC.
the foreign language clubs, the Home Economics Club, Philakalia and the Political Science Club. The Publications Board is a new addition to the list. The organizations must request an increase in funds each year because of the increasing number of people they must serve. The appropriation of $58,000 for 1971-72 exceeds the $39,830 aUotted for 1970-71 by $18,170. All of the decisions concerning monetary matters were at one time made by the administration alone. However, the administration came to feel that, in order to
maintain some continuitv on the committee, it would be necessary to have student representatives who would have an equal opportunity to voice an opinion on how the money was to be spent. Student representation on the committee has now reached enough strength that, if they feel the need to, they can in fact out-vote the faculty and administration representatives. The committee consists of 20 members, four from the administration and faculty and 16 from the student body. Those members of the administration and faculty who serve on the Student Activities Committee include the
Assistant Dean of Students, Dean Nuckols, the Director of Student Activities, Tim Brown, the Assistant Business Manager, Frank Williams, who is also the college treasurer and Dr. Frances Brown of the English Department, who serves as the faculty representative. The students on the committee include the President and Secretary of the Student Government, the treasurers of each of the four classes, a rising sophomore and a rising junior, with an additional two representatives from each class, who serve on the committee for the four years they are here.
Student Apathy To Elections Prevalent By TINA MOODY Apathy prevails onLongwood's Campus in regard to the upcoming election of Lieutenant Governor. Of 35 students recently questioned, 20 had not registered to vote. Only 3 of the 15 who were registered knew for whom they would vote, while four of them did not plan to vote at all. Few had taken advantage of the fact that the registration books were kept open an extra week in Farmville for Longwood students. Nearly all those included in the polling expressed a general lack of knowledge about the candidates. Several girls said they would have to do some research before they could vote. Somewhat in answer to their needs, short sketches of the three opponents in the race for Lieutenant Governor are presented: Henry Evans Howell, Jr., of Norfolk is running as an Inde-
pendent. The one-time Democrat has been termed as the only livberal candidate. He has received the endorsement of the AFL-CIO running under the slogan "Keep the Big Boys Honest." The 51 year old lawyer attended the College of William and Mary and Old Dominion University before receiving his Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Virginia. He is a member of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association and the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce. Howell served as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates in 1960 and 1964. He has been a State Senator since 1966. The Democratic Candidate is George J. Kostel, age 43. After graduation from Hampden-Sydney he was educated for his Bachelor of Laws degree at Washington and Lee University. During the years 1951-53 he was a 1st
