Military Double Standard Senator Henry M. Jackson, of Washington, writing in the June 1969, issue of Reader’s Digest makes some interesting observations on our relations with the Soviet Union. The article details some of the myths involved in our re lations with the Kremlin, but the most intersting of all is the arms race. Sen. Jackson, by virtue of membership on the key Armed Services Committee, is well versed in the de ployment of both our own military forces and those of Russia He makes the point that the more vocal apponents of the Nixon proposal for an ABM Safeguard system are operating under a double standard. The senator writes: “I have never beard one of these critics say that in deploying its ABM system some years ago the Soviets were ‘escalating the arms race.’ There is a clear double standard here, and I am confident that the American people, once they have the facts, will recognize it as a standard that is crudely biased against our own country.” The senator offers in evidence the following: “The Soviet Union acted first to develop ICBMs. “The Soviet Union has developed and tested a 60-megaton bomb; it is the only nation to possess a terror weapon of any thing like that size. “The Soviet Union is the only nation to have built and in stalled ICBMs of the SS-9 size and to be testing multiple war beads on it. “The Soviet Union has developed and tested a Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS), a first-strike-oriented weapon; it is the only nation to have available such an orbital weapon. “The Soviet Union — in 1962 — test fired an anti-ballistic missile (ABM) against an incoming nuclear-armed missile; it is the only nation to have conducted such a test. “The Soviet Union acted first to deploy ABMs, is installing more than 60 ABM launchers, and is testing an improved model —whereas the United States has not yet deployed ABMs of any kind.” Sen. Jackson is a Democrat who places his natiai’s security above partisanship. His arguments appear to be substantial. It might serve the cause of national defense if all of the critics of the Safeguard ABM system and the constant apoligists for the Soviet Union would take the few minutes necessary to read the senator’s remarks. They might well learn something. (Wash.

Ph. 372-3914 In answer to a question on scholarships, Saito said the college granted 40 to in-state students, with one half of these going to girls. These, he said, were merit awards based partly on needs, and were not given in any particular department. That athletic scholarships were treated in the same manner as music or any others. ATHLETIC PROGRAM “How much of taxpayers money is spent for athletic coaches?” “NONE,” was President Skinner’s reply. He further stated, “Student fees, gate receipts, and concessions take care of the entire program and returns a profit of about $15,000. This becomes a part of the general funds and maybe used for many things." POBANZ VIEWS DIFFER CREDIT TRANSFER “Why can’t credits be trans ferred from TVCC toothercol- leges?” Dean Ed Haynes, told the in quirer that vocation - technical courses are designed for two years completion and that it was true some colleges would not accept these. The same was true, he said, of pre-law, pre med and architecture. But, liberal arts college credits, were acceptable to any college or university in the Northwest states. OTHER QUESTIONS Other questions came on the college renting housing, feeding the students and operation of the dorms. Dean Murray reported the damage to dorms had been exaggerated and that the $35 deposit required of each student had taken care of all damages. The food and housing services were self-supporting, he said, and should soon start showing profit. The effect of a new college in Baker was thought to be mini mum by Skinner due to tui tion fees of $900-$l,000 per student, that it was a specialized school, not accredited, with students drawn from a wide area. Joe Saito toldJake Fischer he did not know why a TVCC base ball game was played on the Payette diamond instead of Nyssa where some of the tax payers lived, “but, he replied, it sure won’t happen again — at least not before the next election.” It appears to me that this community is basically proud of TVCC, and that the recent vote was not primarily against the budget. “I believe, from my own con- verstions, that there are nine or ten items to be considered as important in the community thinking. The board cannot do much, or anything, about some of these, such as taxation gen erally, certain inevitable ex penditures, the complexion of the student population, and the geographic sources of students. “However, the board does have the power to accept the re signations of four or five ad ministrators found objection able by the community; it does have the power to encourage better public relations efforts by college personnel; “It does have the power to alter the budget though it has seemed sound; it does have the power to modify the emphasis on athletics; and it probably can exert larger influence on salary levels.” The United Methodist Church of Nyssa will sponsor a “youth night” every Thursday, 8-11 p.m. throughout the sum mer according to the Rev. J. D. Crego, Pastor. The Fellowship Hall of the church will be open to all the youth of the town those even ings with a pop dispensing ma chine, shuffle board, ping pong, back ground music (bring your favorite records). The activity has been named “The Back Door”, and will feature shuffle board, ping pong, and conver sation! So far there are only two rules. 1- After a youth lea ves, he or she is not to re turn the same evening. 2- Be have as ladies and gentlemen. If anyone has a card table to lend or to donate to the “cause” please call Annie Crego at 372- 3170. Opening night will be tonight, June 12. All high schoolers are invited to bring their "Tu pelos” for autographing at this time. PERSONAL Memorial day visitors in the J. Elwood Flinders home were Mr. and Mrs. Arvel L. Child and son, Gary and Scotto Boyce of Quincy, Wash. Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Beus and five children flew in by private plane from Hyder, Ariz. They also visi ted other friends in the area. May 31 visitors in the Flinders home were their nephew, Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Child, formerly of Nyssa. They were on their way to Los Angeles where he will be employed. Dick John son of Denver, Colo., arrived May 31 to join his wife, Gail and daughter, Kristin, who had been visiting her parents, the Flinders and other relatives for the past two weeks. Following the reading of the statement, Pobanz received a mild round of applause from the crowd, the first such reaction during the night. Chairman Saito made no com ment, or asked for any, follow ing Pobanz’ reading of the statement. It is now 10:30p.m., the mee ting has been in session for two and one-half hours, and there being no more questions, it is adjourned. Some thirty minutes later the board went into session lasting until 2:30 the following morn ing and came up with another budget for submittal to the vo ters June 24. A brief sum mary of it is covered in an other story in this issue of the Journal.

John Fowler, CPA, who au dits the college records, said the college was operating on a current basis and that this was the first year that the board and administration had full con trol of finances and knew what was in all funds and what had been spent at all times. He affirmed that the only outstand ing indebtedness, other than bonds voted by the electorate, was the two months salary bill for July and August in the amount of $89,000. We, the Treasure Valley Community College Faculty As sociation, having a genuine con cern for the continuing im provement of educational opportunity, believe that: Since the Business Office procedures are the most orderly and efficient that Trea sure Valley Community College has had since its beginning; And since the current budget is a conscientiously and real istically drawn budget, in that each department was consulted as to specific needs and asked to submit minimum requests, nearly all of which were fur ther reduced in the interest of presenting to the public the lowest possible budget: And since the intent of the present administration and fac ulty is to work for the better ment of the college as a whole and to develop academic levels and technical skills with the welfare of the student as their chief consideration; Therefore be it resolved that we support the administration and passage of the budget as presented for the coming elec tion. Millikin, speaking for the summer faculty members, asked the board not to delay summer school which is sche duled to start on June 22, two days before the election. Milli kin said that the instructors would teach, “on the come,” meaning without pay if neces sary if the budget doesn’t pass. He said that about 400 students were ready to start summer school and it would not be fair to them to delay or discontinue the summer session.
