Tech Gets $.4 MillionDonald W, McGlashan, vice

President of the college and ex-eCutive director of the MontanaCOllege of Mineral Science a',dTechnology Foundation, an-nounced that a $400,000 grant tohelp establish a minerals researchCenter has been received by theFoundation,

The grant which was establish-ed by Thayer Lindsley, in mern-Ory of his father, has beenawarded to the Foundation fromthe John Lindsley Fund, Thayerlindsley, the founder of Falcon-~)ridge Nickel Mines, Ltd" wasIts president for many years,The objective of thi grant is

to extend and improve the re-search program at Montana Techthrough the e tabli hrnent of aresearch center, McGlashan ex-?lains that such a facility, besidesIts obvious role in providing so-lUtions to problems continuouslyCOnfronting the mineral industry,\\tould act in several ways tobenefit the mineral industry,These McGlashan describes asattracting students to thc career-fields of the mineral indu try,

aiding in faculty recruitment andretention, providing an invaluableteaching resourse for both under-graduate and graduate studentsin research and offering contin-ual challenges to research-mind-ed faculty members.

Key alumni who helped to ob-tain the grant are: Neil O'Don-nell, Engineer of Mines 1923,Professional Engineer of Mines1960; William H. Love, class of'46, president, Hecla MiningCompany: Wallace, Idaho; PlatoMalozemoff, class of '32, N ew-mont Mining Company, NewYork, N.Y., and Frank Antonioli,class of '50, local mining opera-tor, These are the men McGlas-han cites as being instrumentalin bringing the needs of the col-lege for a minerals research cen-ter before the trustees of theJohn Lindslcy Fund.

Dr. E. G. Koch, president ofMontana Tech says, "All of usat Montana Tech are extremelygrateful to the John LindsleyFund for its recent gift of$400,000 to the Montana TechFoundation. This gift will make

it possible for the foundation toundertake plans and projectswhich have heretofore not beenfeasible. Many people-studentsand faculty at Montana Tech,alumni, employees of companiesin the minerals industry fields,and others-will benefit in theyears to come from the Founda-tion's efforts, made possible bygifts such as this."

He goes on to say, "Many ded-icated people have contributedmuch in time and efort to get 'the Montana College of MineralScience and Tethnology Foun-dation started. The Foundationhas had a good year and we feelit has gained enough momentumto continue with an even betteryear in 1970,"

According to Truxton Fisherpresident of the Montana Tecl~Alumni Association and a direc-tor of the Foundation, "This giftor the initiation of the researchcenter foreshadows closer liaisonbetween the college and the min-erals industry. This facility also

The Teach-Ins will be shapedcampus by campus by studentinitiative, and may take the formof exhibits, symposiums, conv~-cations. discussions, or a COI11~I-nation of these. The three majortelevision networks wiII give ex-tensive coverage to the April 22Teach-In programs throughoutthe country and numerous news-paper articles will also be written.

UFO Talk By Dr. Str-angesNot An April Fool's JokeWhen Dr. Stranges asked his

Tech audience, April I, whetherthey had at some time seen un-usual and unidentifiable, to them,objects in the sky. Many in at-tendance replied that they had.

These, and other questions,posed by Dr. Frank Stranges,were answered to some degree atleast, in his hour-long presenta-tion which included a movie andslides.

DJ'. Stranges, director of theNational Investigation Commit-tee on UFO'S, a private organi-zation consisting of people' "fromall walks of life' in about 41 coun-tries, is also a Christian minister.

Dr. Stranges said that theFederal Government claims un-identified flying objects are onlyfigments of the imagination ofpeople under stress. But, he said,his organization discounts testi-mony by any such people. Hesaid he believes "somebody up onthe Hill' is trying to squelch thefacts about UFO's for fear ifthe truth is let our there wouldbe a mass panic like the onecaused by a radio presentaationof H. G. Wells' the "War of theWorld's" during the 1940's.

UFO's are nothing new, ac-·cording to Stranges who said thatas early as 4,000 B.C. peculiarobjects were reported and re-corded.

Stranges told of an incident inGermany in which a flying saucercrashed and seven bodies werefound. Two of these he said areat a U.S. Air Force Base, oneis in London and the others arein Germany. He said the formswere human-like, except they hadno finger-prints. He went on tosay two of the elements compos-ing the craft in which the bodieswere travelling were totally un-known to this planet.

The c aft was very light yet

15,000 degrees Farenheit werenecessary just to warm the craft'ssurface.

He said that the theory wasthat the ship traveled by harness-iug magnetic lines of force. Otherthings found in the craft, Stran-ges reported, were brackets onthe walls, tubes of pills which hespeculator] were possibly foodcapsules, and a liquid much likewater but about three timesheavier.

Many people in the audienceshowed that they believed in thepossibility of life 011 other plan-ets. Some also indicated theythink it possible this other lifecould look like races known onearth. A few also showed theythink these people from outerspace are, or could he, walkingaround in the United States.

Dr. Stranges then mentionedthe man from another planet whospent three years in the Penta-gon. Stranges confessed even hequestioned the actuality of thisuntil he met him personally. Dur-ing the question and answer peri-od after the program, Dr. Stran-ges showed a slide of this man,who seemed to look no differentthan any many one might meeton the street.

According to Stranges' report,the man said he was from theinside of the planet we call Ven-us and was one of 77 in _theUnited States fro 111 anotherplanet.

Among the slides narrated byDr. Stranges was a picture whichhe described as UFO's fOllowingthe=space capsule 'of James Lov-ell and Frank Borman as photo-graphed by the astronauts.

In the conclusion. of his pro-gram, Dr. Stranges ran a filmshowing' UFO's in various areas

SLANT ON COLLEGE KIDS?Recently the Montana Tech

Circle K club had the misfortuneto hold a banquet at the airportSky Chalet. Since this banquetwas in honor of our new queen,who would be crowned at theTech Valentine's Day Semi-for-mal Dance the same evening, wefifteen couples (which includeda member of the Tech Facultyand the Silver Bow Kiwanis)were in our best attire.vVe Were well behaved, natural-

ly, which is' more than I can cayfor a smaller gathering of 111a-turej P) adults seated near uswho popped champagne corks a~the ceiling. And our money. alas,was as good as theirs.

For these reasons our party iswondering why these people,who arrived after we did, wereserved before us. Furthermore.when we finally received ourdinners they were cold, and nowonder! _ \Ve had been waiting

a full two and one-half hours. Af-ter we had finished, they ac-knowledged the poor service, im-plying they had not wanted usthere - yet they willingly hadreserved space for us, and will-ingly took our money. To top offthe evening, we were two hourslate for the dance we were host-ing.

We sincerely hope that, shouldothers receive service such 3'this, they do not consider it typi·cal of all Butte establishments.which Our experience has prover'to be generally excellent.

Idaho StudentsWork Computer

Fifteen high school studentsfrom Salmon High School inSalmon', Idaho, spent March 26and 27 working in MontanaTech's Computer Center. -Directing the group was Wayne

Holbrook, advanced maatherna-tics and computer programminginstructor at Salmon High.While at Tech, most of the stu-

dents worked on eight to tenprograms. These programs in-cluded advanced albegra prob-lems such as binomial coeffici-ents, trigonometry problems suchas the determination of sinesand cosines, and calculus prob-lems such as intergration, Oneboy even used the computer tomatch answers for a dating bur-eau at the high school.The Computer Center at Tech

has processed over 400, programsprepared by Holbrooks students-throughout the school year. Hol-brook was able to take advantageof the Computer Centers process-ing because he participated in aTech computer conference spon-sored by the National ScienceFoundation.

What Does Football do for Tech?I do not see why this school

needs an additional 10,000 dol-lars for its already too costlysports program and I resent"footing the bill" for a programwhich does not benefit me in any'way, nor, in my opinion, does itbenefit Montana Tech. The onlypeople who aappear to benefit atall, are those who leave theirsweat on the football field, andI do not care to subsidize theirbody-building.

Let us go back a very fewyears, when football was playedfor football's sake and the cry,"If you can't beat'ern in points,beat 'em in blood - THEIRS!"shook our humble campus. Wedidn't win many games, but weweren't expected to.

Ah, yes! Things are differentnow. When you buy a footballteam, you expect professionals ..You no longer thrill at winning agame, you expect it. You are nolonger supporting the team withyour spirit, you are supportingit with your money!And what has a winning team

done for our college? Not athing, unless bolstering the prideof a few alumni was its goal. Buteven here, I feel our alumni aremore concerned with our rep uta-

tion in the engineering field, thanon the football field. Heavenknows they did not attend thisschool for its athletic prowess,and that sure as heck isn't- whyI'm here - because I'm STILLhere (how many of our importedjocks - athletes if you prefer -are still with us?).

I would much rather have my$36.44 (divide the athletic de-partment's request for $33,000 by900students) go towards libraryexpansion, better laboraatoryexpansion, bet t e r laboratorycouldn't H.S.S. do with $33,000?),to mention a few alternatives.And as for Tech being droppedfrom the Frontier Conference?Tragedy of tragedies IThat wouldbe the best thing to happen tothis school in a long time I Anddon't worry - no one will castan eye - blink in our direction.We might be surprised to findthat people expect an engineer-ing school to' be just that - anengineering school.We may not beat other col-

leges in football, but if we putour minds and money' on educa-tion, we'll sure beat'em in brains.Afterall, that IS what college isall about!

Nix On New Foreign Policy-Nixon Still Cold War WarriorFor those people who had been

.oprimistically looking for a fun-damental change In America'sforeign policy after Nixon's state-ments on the island of Guamlast year, The New Republic of28 February brought tragic news.The "new" Nixon, we had beentold, was going to end the ColdWar thinking at the State De-partment and give us a policywhich would include the phrase"no more Vietnams." But, it ap-pears, once a Cold War W_ar-rior always a Cold War Warrior.Th: new American foreign policy(the "Nixon Doctrine") readilyacknowledges our defense com-mitments to over forty nationsand our willingness to honorthem all. Hear that you peopleworried about pollution and eco-logyl Further, the Doctrine as-sures our Asian friends that theU.S. will "provide a shield"against nuclear attack and that"we will furnish 'appropriate' mil-itary assistance to Asian govern-ments judged to be threatened inother ways - such as by theirown people, as in Vietnam." Ofcourse, "appropriate" military aidincludes the use of combat troops.I~ the words of The New Repub-

by George H. Waringlie: "To put the proposition plain-ly, Mr. Nixon has now as good asguaranteed that America will bean active participant in futureAsian wars which may result,either from domestic unrest ornational rivalries."

Several questions arise con-cerning this nation's ability tocarryon the old Cold "Var tradi-tion: The first one is: "How dowe pay for such a foreign policyand yet meet our domestic needs?Environmental experts tell 'lIS

that a massive financial effortmust be made if Nixon's war onpollution is to be more than apolitical coup. Secondly, "Howcan Mr. Nixon make such wide-ranging military committmentsand remain true to his promiseto sharply cutback the U.S. mili-tary budget?" Thirdly, "Whatwill be the reaction of the silentmajority when they find out Viet-namization isn't working and thegovernment's overseas commit-tments are involving us in morelimited wars?"I believe it is time we realized

that our domestic problems mustbe met. In the words of HansMorgenthau: "The resources evenof a world power fall short of itsinterests."

"SHOULD MARIJUANA BELEGALIZEDII

by Carin StolzOur laws governing the, pos-

sessioon of marijuana have with-out questioon been too harsh;but I do not believe that marijua-na should be legalized. Thereare those who argue that the useof marijuana is a private act anddoes not harm society, and thatmarijuana is less of a danger thanalcohol. These are attractive arg-uments, but they begin to braekdown upon closer examination.First, although not precisely de-fined, law may have a deterrenteffect. Second, although the useof marijuana is a private act, ithas the potential to cause harm tosociety. One has only to visualizemarijuana being more freelyavailable to adolescents who havenot learned to cope with the prob-lems of da-ily life, and it is not

difficult to reach the conclusionthat marijuana smoking wouldbecome a serious social problem.If the known harmful effects of

alcohol and' tobacco are greaterthan those of marijuana, and ifalcohol and tobacco are legal,why do 1 not advocate legalizingmarijuana? I believe that if al-cohol and tobacco were not al-ready legal, we might very welldecide not to legalize them;knowing what we know. In thecase of marijuana, we shouldknow in a very few years howharmful it is or is 110t. If welegalize it, and it turns out to bequite harmful; we shall have in-troduced yet another publichealth hazard that for social andeconomic reasons might becomeimpossible to dislodge.

by Pam GrueterLately, the Amplifier has print-

ed articles concerning the coedsat Monfana Tech. It seems, in Ithe opinion of certain males onthis campus, that the coeds aretrying to take over the school-

How and where, in Heaven'S Iname, do they get this idea? Ihave attended this school for twoyears and r have not heard ofany subversive action by the fe-males to try to take over. Itlooks as if the males are tryingto start a war between the sexesby printing such articles.

Well, if it's war they want,then it's a war they'll get!

Girls, are we going to stan~back and let these males dorni-nate us? Are we going to letthem refuse us a seat in the stu-dent government? We may bea minority on this campus, butwe do deserve to be representedin student government. It is II

basic right of al] people as writ-ten in the Constitution.

I personally do not see howone seat in the student govern-ment is an attempt by the fe-males to take over the school. Ifwe wanted all of the seats inthe student council then themales would have cause to wor-ry.

Secondly, I do not think thata seat in the student governmentis a special privilege. It is abasic right! We have a right tomake Our wants made known tothe student council and this is,in no way, a means of "henpeck-ing" the males.

Thirdly, the idea that lob'tained fr0111this last article in theA 11lplifier was that the coedsare good for only one thing. Jresent this and I should hopethat the rest of the girls on thiscampus feel the same way. It isabout time that the women ofthis school got together to fightthis image.

So, WOmen of Montana Tech,let us unite! Let us start flood-ing this paper with articles ex-pressing Our rigths as well asOur feelings! Let us give themales a war they will never for'get! They say that we are sub'versive, so, by George, let uS

show them how subversive wecan get!

VENGEANCE IS MINESAITH THE LORD

by Patricia Wynne-Evens(Berkeley Barb)

1. And it came to pass uponthe seventh hour' of the Seventhday of the sevenfh month afterman had set foot upon the moontha t the fingernails of the astro-nauts became filled with moondust and green meldew grewupon their hair.

2. Yet did not the mold stayWith these three. Each passedit unto his neighbor and hepaSsed it unto his neighbor andhe passed it unto his neighborand so on until there was moldOVer all America.

3. And the physicians triedwith their medicines to driveback the mold, but they couldnot; so there was mold upon manand upon beast.

4. And great were the lamenta-tions and Daughters of theAmerican Revolution wept fortheir children.

5. Then thought the childrenof the Lord their Dog and criedUpto Him saying, Lord, remem-berest now Thy children ofAmerica, for we are greviouslyafflicted.6. But the Lord Dog Saith un-

to them, All ye like sheep havegOne astray.

7. For did not Dwight beholdSputnik? And the policies ofDwight begat the policies of Johnand the policies of John begatthe policies of Linden and thepolicies of Linden begat the pol-icies of Richard. And now manhas set foot where man was notintended.

8. Know ye not, that I, thelord they Dog, am a Jealous·dog?9. When the children of Amer-

ica heard these words, they weredismayed for they knew that theyhad angered the Lord and thatfIe had sent the plague of moldto, punish them.

10. And they gathered up alll11anner of trading stamps ingreat diversity and took themUnto an high place and set themin a great pile and made an of-fering un to the Lord.

11. When the Lord Dog sawthis His heart was softened andfIe lifted the plague from off theland.

12. And the Lord took up theOffering of trading stamps. And\",ith the Blue stamps took Heall manner of string and key-hoard instruments. With theGreen stamps took He brass andWoodwinds. But with the PlaidStamps took He none save bag-pipes.

13. With the Black and BrownStamps took He percussion in-struments, castenets, maracas,XYlophones, together with bongo,kettle and calypso drums andothers of like manner. But withthe Gold Bond stamps He tookOnly rams' horns, jews' harps andthe baton of Leonard Berstein.

14. And He continued in this111anner until all the tradingStamps had been consumed andtie had around Him a large ar-

ray of musical instruments to-gether with microphones, elec-trical amplifiers, and all the de-cibels contained therein.

15. And it came to pass thatupon the seventh day after theseventh day of the seventh monthafter man had set foot upon themoon that a great clamour burstforth upon the children of Amer-ica.

16. And 10, the heavens wereopened. The stars swung, theclouds rolled and the mountainsrocked.

17. Then the children of Amer-ica saw the Lord Dog lealpingamong the mountains, skippingupon the hills. And they saidunto the others, Behold, how theLord Dog trippeth on high.

18. But there were those. among them that hardened theirhearts unto the Lord ·and saithunto Him; Lord, in thy greatmercy, Thou liftest the first'plague from these Thy childrenof America, but this Thy secondplague is greater than the first.

19. For new great clamour isburst upon us. We see the starsswing, the clouds roll and themountains rock. And we fearour ears will be split in twain.

20. And Lord, they saith untoHim. We can no longer hearThy voice.

21. Then the Lord Dog turnedHis face unto His People. Andthose that spoke with Him weredismayed but the children ofAmerica rejoiced.

22. For behold, the face of theLord Dog was hairy.HERE ENDTH THE FIRSTLESSON TAKEN FRO MTHE BOOK OF THE SHAG-GY DOG.

Letter to the EditorDear Editor johnson,

No more than a handful ofTech students came to hear MikeBlumer play the piano Fridayevening, March 6. No doubt therewere other events, and perhapsfew' expected much from a 17-year-old pianist.

At any rate, those who stayedmissed an impressive perform-ance. Young as he is, Mr. Blum-er plays extremely well, and heplays difficult music. He has al-ready a superb technical com-mand 'of the piano that comesfrom a kind of dedication andpractice that to 1110Stof us lazyhumans is inconceivabble. Heplays with real musicality. I haveheard several adult concert piani-sts who played no better and of-ten with less freshness.Very few local students have

ever heard a recital, and herewas a golden opportunity. Whatpotentiality goes unfullfilledl Toomany are content with canned,mechanized, teen-culture and, likePeter Pan, hope never to growup. They are offered bread andprefer a plastic sandwich.

The real danger is that CICwill become discouraged and nev-er aim at anything better ormore interesting than what blastsall day in the SUB or rattles thestereo at night.

I, for one, would like to thankcrc and the International Clubfor bringing this young artistto us.

Track SeasonBest Ever In '70Track is underway for 1970

and it promises to be the bestyear ever for this sport at Mon-tana Tech. The team, which con-sists largely of football playersentering one or two events iscoached by Tom Lester. '

Most of the strength shouldbe in the sprints, javelin, dis-~ance races, and all of the jump-ing events.

The only returning lettermanis Lee Alt who last year wasconference runner-up in the 100-yard dash. Ed Pettigrew, a stin-gy six-foot freshman from Shel-by, is a sure bet to place highin the conference as a high jump-er. Tom Roberts, a Butte prod-uct, should add t;emendousstrength to the jumping events.r t looks again like Western

and Eastern are the teams to beatbut the Orediggers are on theirway up.

LUNAR MINING?Many persons still imagine mining as

the prospector with pick and shovel. It isa picture that has been dimmed long agoby progress.

Miners today can be found workingwith computers in developing new tech-niques of exploration and production. Intheir future there is ocean and perhapslunar mining and the peaceful use of nuc-lear explosives. .

For the minerals engineer there is anexciting career today and tomorrow.
