Middle East fighting distresses soviets
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Soviet Union has warned the United States, Britain and France of its concern over the increased
Von Ende to speak
Rick Von Ende, former chairman of the All Student Council, will speak on the subject of "Students as a Sub-Culture of American Society," on Feb. 17.
Von Ende, also a member of the Dean's Advisory Board and the White House Committee on Campus Tension, will speak at Kansas Wesleyan University as part of that university's convocation program.
In a short interview, Von Enue elaborated on the contents of his speech, by comparing the youth of today to the youth of 50 years ago. He said that 50 years ago, a youth of 18 was expected to be out in the world earning a living. Today, he said, youth is restrained from assuming the demands of society for about five years, or until graduating from college. In this way, he said, students are forced into prolonged adolescence.
Spring draws near
(UPI) — The famous Punxu-tawney groundhog has ruled spring is just around the corner. Since the groundhog did not come out to see his shadow, there was no shadow and, according to legend, that means spring is near.
WHEN FLYING WAS NEWS
WHEN FLYING WAS NEWS CALIFORNIA, Mo. (UPI)—When you see an airplane fly over your house these days, you don't even look up. But 50 years ago a plane flight was as newsworthy as today's space flight.
A story printed in The California Democrat 50 years ago reported: "Another aeroslane passed over California Wednesday evening going east. The pilot flew pretty low, and the town cop could nearly get his number and could tell whether he was exceeding the speed limit or not."

met for three hours and announced they will meet again on Feb. 12.
Soviet Ambassador Anatoly F. Dobrynin delivered a communication on the subject to the White House over the weekend, informed sources said, and Monday the Soviet ambassadors in London and Paris followed up with similar notes. It was not clear, however, if the same message was delivered in all three capitals.
In Paris, however, Zorin told newsmen neither the Soviet-sponsored All-European security conference or the planned Big Four conference on Berlin was the reason for his call on Pompidou and then added, cryptically:
Dobrynin, meeting with a top aide to President Nixon, was understood to have expressed concern over recent Israeli raids against Arab states. The implication was that the United States
The State Department declined to comment on the three visits.
should bring pressure on Israel to halt such attacks.
While not informed of the exact contents of the messages delivered in London and Paris, diplomatic sources here discounted rumors in those two capitals that the Kremlin was talking about intervening directly in the conflict unless the Israelis ended their attacks.
The speculation coincided with the 25th secret meeting of the Big Four ambassadors to the United Nations in New York. The envoys of the United States, Soviet Union, Britain and France
Informed sources said Western U.N. diplomats were not informed of the substance of the Soviet talks in London and Paris and sources said that while the Soviet ambassador talked at length during the Big Four meeting, "nothing new" was said.
Soviet Ambassador Mikhail Smirnovsky met with Wilson at 10 Downing St., the prime minister's official residence. Soviet Ambassador Valerian Zorin called on Pompidou in his Elysee Palace offices.
"You are sufficiently well-informed to know what urgent and important questions are posed at the moment."
All maintained silence on their discussions.
Communist diplomats have been hinting privately that Moscow could not stand idly by if the Middle East conflict escalated into a full-scale war that threatened the Arabs with another defeat.
The Soviets would have to "intervene," the sources hinted.
If you don't like the way people talk to each other, we'll pay you to change it.
We're in the communications business.
And during the next 30 years we're going to upgrade all the equipment we now have in order to provide even better service to our 6 million existing customers.
As if that weren't enough we're also going to have to come up with enough new equipment to provide telephone service to about 26 million more people. As well as equipment for a much more extensive data communications program.
We need enough people (electrical, civil, mechanical and industrial engineers, designers, accountants and economists) to plan, design, build and operate a company that will be four times bigger than we are today. We also need engineers, researchers and scientists to develop electronic switching equipment, laser and other communications systems we'll be using 10,25 and 50 years from now.
But this is only one part of our communications business.
Our Sylvania people, for example, are involved in other types of communications. Like color television sets, satellite tracking stations and educational television systems.
Automatic Electric, Lenkurt, Ultronic Systems and some of our other companies, subsidiaries and divisions are working on advanced types of integrated circuitry, electro-opticals and communications systems between people and computers and between computers and computers
So if you think you have something to say about the way people talk to each other . . . we're ready to listen.
