A few weeks ago, while I was standing in the registration line at the gym I met an honest man.

Thin, pole, haggard and nearly collapsed with hunger he leaned against the wall feebly clutching the stair-rail.

"Hello."

I said cheerfully as I moved into line behind him. "Been here long?"

"Since yesterday." he muttered over a swollen, cracked tongue.

Doubting his credibility, I merely nodded.

"No, really," he' pleaded to my agnostic face: Moving slightly he exposed a sweat stain in the paint perfectly molded to his profile.

Even the Supreme Court would accept that as evidence so I, being a well trained agnostic, nodded unemphatically.

"You're really a paraplegic with starched trousers and don't wont anyone to know, right?'''

"No, really," he still pleaded and twitched his left ankle to 'refute my statement.

"The Iine is moving."

I stated refuting his refutation as I began to take a step.

Suddenly, there wasn't anywhere to step. A poignantly theistis expression knotted my eyebrows, "What ... /1 The honest man stopped me just before I went to. my knees. "Crowders." he said as firmly as any exhausted man could. . Bock to agnosticism, counted heads.

He was right.

There was a new head slowly bobbing up the stairs.

"Then there's only one chance for us," I reasoned, "I'll trip this girl in front of us and you run up ten spaces during the ruckus and hold us a place."

"I can't," he said flatly, "That would be morally wrong ... " Not hearing any corollary to his statement because of the screams of the falling girl I quickly leaped ten spaces ahead.

Another girl stood before me.

Thinking how much more fragile she looked than the girl who used to be in front of me, , asked her if she was a deist: j

Nixon's Economic Policy

President?

by Irene Rogers The name is Arthur Keenan. He is a candidate for the Presidency of the United states of America. He states that his qualiflcatlons are, "just as good as anybody's." Mr. Keenan is running on the Good American Party Ticket. The Party is a non-profit political organization being organized in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Arthur Keenan is their man. .

Mr. Keenan was born in New York City and is 53 years old. He is presently residing in Spring Lake, Minnesota. He holds a master's degree from Columbia University with a major in. advertising and a minor in related business subjects.

Keenan is a true humanitarian.

He respects people who are skilled with their hands, tools and machines.

In, 1935 he started summer work as a grocery clerk. Through the years he has worked as a waiter, busboy, construction laborer, gas station attendant, helper on Mobile Homes and a warehouseman.

A variety of odd job experience is an excellent qualification for a prestdenttal candidate.

Do McGovern or Nixon have such superior qualifications?

Keenan conceived the design on the paperboard milk container which changed the opening from a circle cut-out to a fold-out spout.

The design change made it easy to use the carton for drinking as well as pouring. The inventor is proud of his magnificent spout because he likes milk. I doubt Nixon or McGovern are quite so sensitive.

The pull-tab strip on beer, Coke and soda beverage cans is another design which the inventor candidate has conceived. He states that, "billions and billions of these cans ,are still being produced annually!"

Keenan goes on to say, "Some time ago I thought of adapting the aerosol can for dispensing toothpaste, but I have not seen this application on anybody's shelves. I mention these applications because they are important to important industries.

In more than fifty years of living I can assure you that I have also thought of many other important things in many other areas."

The magnificent packaging applications which Keenan has conceived must be the work of a sheer genius! I am without a doubt that he spent years in research and laboratory studies before he finally perfected his packaging applications.

How can McGovern or Nixon think of winning over a genius?!

The Good American Party Candidate has done an extensive amount of traveling at his own expense. He has taken two trips abroad which included, Ireland, England, France, SWitzerland, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Austria and Luxembourg.

He has been a visitor to Canada, Bermuda and Italy.

Will Arthur Keenan be your choice for the next president of the United states?

If you truly feel he is the best qualified candidate, please write in the name Arthur Keenan for your president November 7th.

cGovern Stites Views In Richard Nixon and his heir apparent, Spiro Agnew, we face an Administration fighting to preserve the status QUO and protect the privi leges of the favored few.

In contrast to our openly disclosed SUpport from thousands of small contributors, the Republicans have- refused to reveal the sources of the $10 million they hastily gathered in before the new disclosure law took effect.

One can only conclude that many of these secret contributions are large gifts from wealthy individu~ls and corporations seeking speclcl favors.

In their desperate efforts to retain POwer, th eRepublicans are now attempting to rewrite the history of the Nixon years.

At the same time, they are seeking to distort my views and programs almost beyond recognition.

They say they stand for full employment.

But they have added two million workers to the unemployment rolls.

They say they stand for a balanced budget.

But the Nixon deficits have already exceeded the combined deficits of Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson.

The cumulative four-year Nixon deficit of $80 billion represents' one fifth of the entire notional debt.

But the Republicans have nothing to show for it except a string of Nixon vetoes of needed programs and a new holocaust of devastation in Vietnam.

And' they project going deeper into debt by another $25 billion in 1973.

They say they stand for stable prices.

But consumer prices have risen 18 % during the Nixon years, 50 C?b fa-ster than during the previous Democratic adm in istrations.

They accuse us of fiscal irresponsibility.

But it is we Democrats who are spelling ou texactly how we propose to finance the programs the country so urgently needs.

It is the Republicans who are giving the notion rhetoric rather than arithmetic.

He talked about reducing property taxes.

But he did not tell us how he would replace the lost revenue. .

In this election yeor, he promises aid to parochial schools, but we have seen neither his plans nor his financing.

He hails on arms agreement with RUssia but then asks Cong ress to increase our already bloated military budget by an additional $4 billion.

For four years he has talked about

Revenue Sharing with cities and states, but he has not provided revenue to share.

For fou r yea rs he has to Iked of Family Assistance.

But he has shown more vigor in vetoing child development, day care, and education bills than in pressing for Fam iIy Assistance.

And if we do the things he suggests without sound financing, we will strengthen the already harsh grip of inflation on the families of America.

Under my program, no family living on wages and salaries rather than investments will face a single penny of increased taxes.

Indeed, homeowners s.inking under the weight of heavy local school taxes on their property could enjoy tax relief in the form of reduction of as much as one-third of this burden.

The tax reforms we propose, phased in over a 3-year period, would yield $22 billion in additional tax revenue by 1975.

In addition, I have proposed cutting military spending by approximately $10 billio na year in each of the next 3 years.

Added together, this tax reform program and military spending cut will provide $52 billion for the program,s we need.

It can provide $15 billion in Federal aid to our school districts so they can offer quality education and reduce school taxes.

It can provide for new hospitals, more medical training, cleaner air and water, a G.I. Bill for Vietnam veterans and policemen, safer streets, better protection against job cccl-. dents.

And we can sti II have enough left over to provide $77 a week in cosh and food stomps for a helpless mother with three small children wpo can't work and needs welfare to survive.

This p.rogram will not cost $144 billion, the incredible claim made in the President's acceptance speech.

It will cost les sthan the $52 billion we can realize through my proposed tax reforms and military spending cuts.

I reali~e it is unprecedented for a presidential candidate to make such detailed, specific proposals.

I realize it has mode me a much easier target for the opposition than if I hod confined my public statements to saf generalities, as candidates usually do.

But I fee Ithat路 1972 is a turning point in the affairs of this nation.

It ;s a time when we must decide what kind of people we are, and what kind of country we want.

Such a time demands concrete proposals and a clear choice.

VOTE S Register Once again the Voter Registration Committee of Montano Tech was in operation.

Attempting to fill the need of those persons who until this opportunity had not registered to vote' in the Presidential Election.

0, er fifty new voters were registered, putting the total for this committee as being over 300 new voters since Spring semester.

In case you missed this little group and their table, it was situated at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor of the Administration building.

Members of the group include Irene Rogers, Wayne O'Brien, Kim Bowden, Pam Grueter, Gary Compton and Mary Ann Carling.

Democrats at Work The New Democratic Coalition of Montano Tech has been busy with various projects.

Information on local candidates are available through any. member.

Assistance in the local voter registration drive has been a summer project, plus that of a state N.D.C. platform.

The proposal submitted on Social Problems by this group was accepted. word for word into the state platform, which mode the group feel appreciated.

Other projects include work on the McGovern Gala affair which has as a guest Dennis Weaver, star of TV's McLeod.

This group encouraged political interest, whether you agree or disagree please toke port in the events that change mens lives.

Senatorial Candidate Campaigns at Tech Henry S. Hibbard, Republican senatorial candidate, visited Tech Wednesday, October 5.

Hibbard campaigned in the S.U.B. speaking to potential voters individually.

The students were given pamphlets explaining his views on campaign issues.

Education was one topic of discussion. He said that if elected, he would "move to revamp the national income tax lows for parents supporting college students."

The aid would be in the form 0 fa tax exemption.

Some people believe that this would "tend to favor the wealthy" but he would not allow this to happen.

A tax exemption for students was also discussed.

This would be a "blanket exemption" meaning that all students working their way through school would be exempt.

"Every young person i:1 Iv~ontana has the right to some form of higher education."

This statement characterizes "Hank" Hibbard's support cf the University and Vo- Tech systems and his support of the youth of !V,ontana.

Montano's drug problem, Hibbard said, is not widespread, but in small crowded areas he calls "pcokets of drugs."

He feels that to deal with the problem, the laws must get to the pusher.

"Although I believe in the reduction of penalties for the use of marijuana, that does not excuse tne pusher."

Hibbard wonts gun control on a "state-by-state" basis.

This would leove Montana out.

Hibbard doesn't believe Montana needs the strict gun control that some states such as New Jersey would need.

Youth Power Noticed Author and political advisor for Senator George McGovern, Frederick G. Dutton dedicates his "Changing Sources of Power: American Politics in the 1970s," now available in softcover, "To All the Young People Who Will Be Voting for the First Time in This Decade" (McGraw-Hill Paperbacks, $2.95).

In the last four Democratic Presidential campaigns Dutton has held top national roles. His book presents a wide-ranging and detailed study of the new social and political forces conflicting with the nation's prevailing politics and public attitudes.

New York Times columnist James M. Naughton said in a recent article that George McGovern's candidacy epitomizes the book's theme that "the politics of the seventies offer one of those rare chances to rally a new following, or at least provoke a different configuration" of American politics.

According to Naughton, George McGovern's political platform complies with Dutton's philosophy that a reshaping of political power can be attained by appealing to the millions of young people.

The author contends that despite considerable efforts in recent years to quiet the country, many changes lie ahead. The impact of new voters, the rising influence of black voters, and the effect of television are among the factors stirring a regeneration in American politics. "If the older America has more votes, money, experience, and guns at present," Dutton says, "the new elements have energy, growth, imagination, and time on their side."

Frederick Dutton is a political strategist as well as a California and Washington, D.C. lawyer. He has served as Secretary of the Cabinet for President John F. Kennedy, Assistant U.S. Secretary of State for Congressional Relations, Executive Director of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Foundation, and a Regent of the University of California.

by Kim Bawden President Richard Nixon's economic plans for America are well underway and are proving effective.

In Nixon's Economic Report to Congress, delivered January 27, 1972,he maintained that by con" troling wage and price increases, reasonable price stability can be attained.

Nixon beieves that the greatest economic problem for 1972 is to red uce significantly the level of unemployment from its 6% level to 5% by the end of 1972.

The GNP Forecast predicts a rise of about 9.5% to $1.145 trillion in 1972 which would be all increase of $98 billion from 1971.

Infla tion is expected to decline to 3~ % in 1972 from the 4.690 level in 1971. The GNP Forecas however, can only be considered accurate to a plus or minus $lG billion.

In the introduction to a report by' his Council of Economic Ad" visors, Nixon stated that tbe I budget situation remained criti" cal and he restated his warning that Congress must keep to its ( $250 billion ceiling on spending in order to prevent big increaseS in the cost of living or Increase' in taxes.

Six economic improvements ( are shown in this report whicb was issued in August, 1972. Tbe ( rate of increase in the cost of living was 'down by one half; Cj .. ( vilian jobs have grown by 2.5 million; unemployment decreas' ed from 6% to 5.5%; the GNf increased by almost 9%; real spendable earnings rose 4%; and finally, trade agreements were ( deemed helpful in improving America's international compe' 1 titive position.

Later that month at the Re' publican convention, Nixon said that "The choice in the electtor is not between radical change and no change, but betweef change that works and change that won't."

Nixon warned, at that tinle, ( that the Democratic economic programs would result in a net budget increase of $144 billion, ~ 50% tax increase, and an addj .. tional 82 million people 011 welfare.

SUB Modernizes

Hungry guys prefer a table near the food.

Mother as Student "I felt swamped by house duties and responsibilities.

I needed time to do something for myselH" This statement was made by a mother student presently attending Montano Tech. This is her reason for reentering . college after a number of years of absence.

She gives us some food for thought.

What else has she to say?

"I loved being home when the Children were small, but as they grew and entered high school I began to feel useless.

I began to remember my old high school dreams.

One of those dreams was to become a teacher.

My Conscience persuaded me to fulfill the teacher dream.

Reluctantly, I decided to enter college.

This decision became on imPortant turning point of my life.

I Was attempting to make that dream a reality.

Sc.hool work gave me .a good feeling inside.

It helped to fill the lonely hours my children once Occupied. .

College gave a new meaning to life.

For the first time life became a growing and developing process.

I suddenly realized that at home I hod ceased to grow.

If you ever stop growing and slow down to the television-telephone rut a very shallow unhappy person emerges.

College made me realize that there is a lot more to being a real Person than I thouqht."

Presently this mother student is ~n her second year of college life. Will she ever become a teacher?

Only the future holds suc han answer.

If college merely helps this mother to grow and better understand herself, has it not been worthwhile?

I venture to say the answer is yes. College is not merely a path to a better job.

College should be a growing process from which the student emerges a more knowledgeable and better person.

As in the case of the student mother, college can make us realize we are all worthwhile human beings.

MSU Stages Concert

Information for Students on the

Mining Students Return

Terminate Summer Jobs Fall semester has once again returned to Montana Tech. With it come the return of miners from the field. Junior and Senior mining engineering students are back at school after a summer of gathering practical experience. This summer the students traveled as far North as Alaska, as far South as Arizona and as far East as New Jersey, to work in some phase of the mineral industry. .

Kermit Behnke did exploration work in Alaska. Bill Hansen spent the summer mining in Arizona and prospecting in Montana. Bill Rogers did mining and engineering work in New Jersey.

Other students and their jobs were: Larry Harkins, John Boward and John Sutton did engineering work in an underground coal mine in West Virginia. Dan McElroy and Ed Pettigrew worked on a Peter Kiewit tunnel project in Colorado. Dean and Keith Honey worked in mines in Green River, Wyoming and in Butte.

John Freeman, Mike Clark, Victor Burgos and Tad Dale did engineering work in the Berkley Pit. Vic Magnus worked for the Montana Bureau of Mines. Bill Sikes did engineering work at a coal mine in Illinois.

Henry Fabich worked on construction in the Butte area, John Roberts did engineering work at a vermiculite mine at Libby, Montana. Ray Woodey worked in British Columbia. Mike Goldrich worked in a refinery at Cut Bank, Montana. Glen Kerestes was employed at a metallurgical plant in Columbia Falls, Montana. J'im Knowlson worked as a miner at the Mountain Con mine in Butte. Charles 'Speake did exploration work in Montana. Dave Piper and Mac Beaudry mined underground at the Steward Mine in Butte. Gary Weber did engineering work with Montana Power.

Minerals

Donated

Mrs. Murl H. Gidel has donated her late husband's mineral collection, valued around $6,000, to the Montana Tech Minerological Museum.

Gidel began his mineral collection during college, gathering more than 500 specimens.

The minerals and gems came from Canada, Mexico Europe, and the eastern central stores os well as from the western Un.ited States.

The collection is now on dis-· play in the museu munder the direction of Dr. Richard Burg.

In 1912, Gidel graduated from Tech with a mining engineer degree.

He was awarded the honorary degree of geological engineer in 1936. Gidel then joined the Anaconda Co. as a field and mine geologist.

He also continued his part-time job at Tec-h as a secretary in the geology department.

The development of extensive phosphate properties were the result of Gidel's efforts in Condo, Idaho.

He also figured out the rediscovery of gold' in the Mayflower Mine in Madison County.

Much of Gidel's wort' was devoted to locating new Ore bodie~ to replace mined out ones. .

A very small portion of this c.ollection can be seen in the museum.

It is simply labeled the Gidel Col!ection.

Each specimen has a file cord whiLh fists additional facts concerning the rock.

Orediggers Stumble

GAME Schedule I

Montana Tech's Orediggers feff before the powerful Thunderbirds of Southern Utah in Cedar City, September 9. The Orediggers were unable to get started, losinc 26-0.

Senior Don Mahoney turned in an outstanding performance for Tech on defense.

After the loss to Southern Utah, Tech returned to Alumni Colliseum on September 16 and defeated Fort Lewis College of Durango, Colorado by a score of 34-14.

Tech's Nick Obstar provided the majority of the offensive punch scoring a record tying 26 points.

Tech coaches also cited linebacker Don Mahoney for his outstanding performance in the victory.

Tech was also successful in their th ird game of the season defeating Eastern Oregon 30- 14 September 23.

The Oregon college is a member of the tough Evergreen Conference.

Each year this Conference places top teams in the N.A.I.A. notional ratings. Tech coach John McMahon named defensive end George Paull and offensive tackle Tom Dyk as outstanding players in the game.

Montana Tech's Orediggers have five games left in the current season. The Orediggers are your team, get out and support them!

The remaining games, dates, times and location are as follows: October 14-Eastern Montana College,. 7:30 p.m., Billings October 21-Carroll College, 1:30 p.m., Helena October 2B-Rocky Mountain College, 1:30 p.m., Home November 4-Dickenson state College, 1:30 p.m., Dickenson November IS-Oregon College of Education, 1:30, Monmouth

by Joe Menicucci The N.A.r.A.'s decision to place Montana Tech on athletic probation and the suspension of player Rich Meredith was not only unfair to the 1971 team and Meredith, but also to the enti re Tech Student Body. EIigibility requirements are not the responsibility of the athletes.

Apparently those who were responsible neglected to check the requi rements, or knew that Meredith was ineligible and allowed him to ploy for the sake of a winning team.

In either case Rich Meredith and the rest of the team were not at fault. r am not saying that the N.A.I.A. should not have taken action against Tech for neglecting the rules.

J am saying that the N.A.I.A. should have token action against those who were responsible If the N.A.I.A. chastised the responsible individuals by means of a monetary loss, J am certain that there would be few cases of member schools breaking the requi rements.
