Holland Speaks here
on Nixon policy
Dr. James Holland will speak at a
luncheon on Wednesday, December 8, on
the topic “The United States and Latin
America—The Nixon Policy.” Dr.
Holland, a 1959 graduate of Southwestern,
is presently Associate Professor of
Government and Director of Curriculum
Development at Angelo State University.
While at Southwestern, Dr. Holland was
a member of Alpha Chi and Blue Key. He
was also elected president of the
sophomore class. He majored in history,
minored in philosophy, and graduated
magna cum laude
Following his graduation from South-
western, Dr. Holland took a B. D. degree
from Yale University and a Ph. D. in
Government from American University in
Washington, D.C.
Dr. Holland will be visiting the campus
as the first of what is hoped will be a series
of return visits by alumni who have gone
into college teaching as a profession. He'
has been invited to return for a day to
share some of the results of his academic
experience with Government majors,
teachers, and other interested persons. He
will participate in one class, deliver a
luncheon lecture, and visit informally with
friends while on campus.
Anyone interested in attending the
luncheon and in hearing the address is
invited to bring his tray upstairs to the
Student Dining Room at noon. Any faculty
member desiring to attend may sign a
voucher for his lunch at the cash register.
Chem. Dept, brings

On Monday, December 6,1971, Dr. Kenn
Harding of Texas A & M University will be
on our campus. His visit, sponsored by the
Chemistry Department, will include a talk
on ‘ ‘Chemiluminescence—Illuminating
Examples of Organic Reactions.” The talk
will be given at 3:30 p.m. in Room 100 of
Fondren Science Hall. Dr. Harding, who is
on the Chemistry faculty of Texas A & M,
will also be available to discuss any
aspects of the graduate program at Texas
A & M, especially in chemistry. All in-

N. h.
Manchester, N.H. (CPS)—Anti-war
f Republican Congressman Paul N. (Pete)
McCloskey (Calif.), who is moderate to
conservative on most other issues, moved
way up in New Hampshire polls this
month.
A poll of Republicans in the home base of
arch-conservative editor William Loeb’s
UNION-LEADER showed 28 percent
preferring McCloskey to Nixon. This
compares with a mere 2 per cent name
recognition among Manchester
Republicans just two months ago.
One close Presidential assistant
declared recently that Nixon’s advisers
pare at least considering a response. And if
Nixon does enter the New Hampshire
primary himself, he will automatically be
entered in five or six other statewide
primaries. The same assistant also said
that if McCloskey’s intensive campaigning
succeeds in this first primary, Nixon will
enter every other primary in the country
“to prove his broad appeal.”

student shot by Belgian police
(CPS)-The death of a student, shot by
police in Louvain, Belgium, has inflamed
emotions at the University of Belgium.
The student, Romain Cools, a 21-year old
senior in the department of economics,
was caught by surprise mthe middle of the
night by five policemen as he was trying to
steal the money from a pin-ball machine in
the bar of the Institute of Commerce in
Louvain. Seeing the police, the student
tried to escape by running. The police
fired, and Romain Cools was found with a
bullet in his head.
According to a police report, the police
officers did not want to shoot the fleeing
man, but rather wanted to fire a warning
shot to the left of him as he hid on some
crates. However, as the shot was fired,
says the report, the student lost his
instantly by the bullet.
“A warhing shot is fired straight into the
air,” countered the students, professors
and assistants who have issued a prepared
statement accusing the police of “killing a
defenseless person who showed no
hostility.”

Ghost-writing
spooks colleges
Denver, (CPS)— A ghost-writing
compam started in Denver and extended
to numerous campuses nationwide, ex-
pects to sell more than $100,000 worth of
term papers, masters’ theses, and doc-
toral dissertations during this academic
year.
1'he company, Research and
Educational Associates, Ltd. (REA), was
formed in Denver last February 1 and
already has 500 student clients.
If all goes weii, REA s founders expect
to double or even triple their expansion
before the third academic quarter begins
next spring Moreover, they see in
academic ghost-writing a base for a
potential multi-million dollar business in
providing information and literary ser-
vices.
REA is a limited stock company with
five youthful shareholders. The research
and writing is supervised by Larry
Groeger, 20, an undergraduate philosophy
major at Denver’s Metropolitan State
College. According to Groger, “This year
REA will offer the first nationwide
academic ghost-writing service.”
Recruiting an expert staff is no problem,
Groeger says. Because so many well-
educated persons can’t find jobs, he
simply advertises for ghosts in the help-
wanted columns of local papers.
Customers are plentiful in most colleges.
Clients are easily attracted through
newspaper and radio advertising and by
on-campus solicitation via school
newspapers and distributed business
cards.
REA says that a client needn’t sign a
contract, and that the company doesn’t
permit clients to remain dissatisfied-
particularly since the value of word-of-
mouth advertising is obvious. Groeger
says that REA guarantees absolute
security of its records and anonymity for
its clients.
Dr. Frederick P. Thieme, president of
the University of Colorado, makes the
observation, “It’s a sad and lamentable
thing,” he says. “Apparently we’ve over-
emphasized the importance of a degree.”
Students who buy papers are “cheating
themselves,” Dr. Thieme says. He
university, but he doubts that he could act
against REA. “I don’t think there’s any
illegality in what they’re doing.”
Groeger wouldn’t say how much REA
pays its writers, but it charges its clients
$3 to $4 per page, depending on the sub-
ject’s difficulty and the research required.
For that price the student gets a
technically correct rough draft, complete
with footnotes and bibliography.
