administrative purposes to the department of romance languages and literatures yates emphasized that the new depart ment will support the special integrity of the languages taught under the direction

on this spaceship earth however there are limits built into this planet and we must recognize these limits earlier in the day at a pre-arranged news conference udall commented during my eight years in government my attitudes and judgements went through a metamorphosis some of my beliefs and views changed 180 degrees in the early days of the kennedy administration udall stated i voted for the expansion of the space program and the race to get to the moon if just half of the money that went into the space program would have been spent on our cities we would not have many of the problems we have today the american people are an adventuresome lot and this program did fit into the american pattern — to conquer space however man found the solar system a dead system man found the earth is indeed a spaceship and he must learn how to manage and love it with care and to keep it a place where humans can live udall asserted that in the past growth and progress was the american way but b&w

that lehigh has never come through with a concert that was sellable most concerts at lehigh have rarely made money and since the concerts have been small budget we have never been able to get out of the hole he added the committee was given 7,000 to backstop concerts for the entire year and if this concert fails that money will not be available the committee has hopes of scheduling the beach boys and sha-na-na for the spring semester therefore the back-up money is needed for future use tickets to the show to be held as a concert-dance are 4 busses from friday night's bonfire will return in
