Good Thinkiri George
We see that Democratic Presidential candidate George
McGovern has junked his $1000 a year welfare bill for a
more moderate one.
Mr. McGovern seems to havea problem sticking to his
orginal proposals.
The plan originally called for a guaranteed income of $1000
a year to all Americans. McGovern has replaced this version
"with a plan giving $2400 yearly to a family of four.
The plan bears a remarkable likeness to a proposal pre-
viously made by Richard Nixon.
In addition McGovern says there will be no tax increase
for the nation's working force.
?No American whose income comes from wages and
salaries would pay one penny more in federal taxes than
he does now" Mr. McGovern said in a speech last Tuesday.
His reasoning never ceases to amaze us.
It appears that when Mr. McGovern receives criticism for
one of his plans he backs off and searches for a more moderate
idea.
Senator Thomas Eagleton was one of the first to go.
McGoveriv's "1000 per cent" confidence in Eagleton quickly
resulted in his dismissal as the party's Vice-Presidential
candidate.
We can only wonder how many more of McGovern's propos-
als will be abandoned before the November elections. Doug

After a couple of trial runs with
a new staff and a new printing
process the Brand will be on its reg-
ular twice-weekly publication
schedule from now on through the

The Brand was published only
once during each of the first two
weeks of school mainly because of
the conversion to offset printing and
a major remodeling job at Abilene
Printing and Stationery Co.
The new offset equipment was
installed during the summer and
personnel had Jo be trained to oper

proficiency of Spanish" he
ate it As result the Brand was th.

for a week allowing Abilene Print-

so."
Having visited the H-SU campus
ome before Hendrick found that the
college "impressed me like no other
college."

environment where one would want
his children to go to school" he
added.

Year-end draft

The Selective Service System has
announced that the draft lottery
number ceiling for the last three
months of the year will be RSN 95.
Men with lottery numbers through
RSN 75 are being inductedjn Aug-
ust and September. The year-end
ceiling of RSN 95 assures almost
three-fourths of the men who faced
induction during 1972 that they will
not be called this year.
Approximately 15900 men will be
inducted during the October
December period with the majority
of inductions taking place in October
and November. All available men
with RSNs of 95 and below who are
classified 1-A or 1-A-O and are mem-
bers of the 1972 First Priority Selec-
tion Group will receive at leaBt 30
days notice of their induction date.
Conscientious objectors classified
1-0 with RSNs of 95 and below will
be selected for alternate service in
civilian jobs at the same time. All
eligible men with RSNs of 95 and
below who become available for
induction or alternate service after
mid-November when the last induc-
tion orders for 1972 will be mailed
will be liable for induction or alter-
nate service during the first three
months of 1973 should there be calls
during that period
The inductions for the last three
months of 1972 will bring the total
of men inducted into the Army in
1972 to approximately 50000 the
number which Secretary Lard
indicated would be required during
1972. More than 94000 men were
iriflucted during 1971; 163500 in
1970.

become an elective at Texas Tech.

ters f
Dr. S.M Kennedy vice president
for academic affairs at Tech said
"any student presently enrolled at
Tech who has passed two semesters
of PE. has satisfied the university
P.E. graduation requirement."
A big reason for this decision was
the limited P.E. facilities' inability
to accommodate the large number
of students who take P.E.
Qualified male students may
enroll in aerospace studies or in four
or two year R.O.T.C. programs in
place of P.E.
Kennedy said that this reduction
in P.E. requirements would encour-
age students to participate in Tech's
intramural sports.
