(Photo by Steven c. C.ook.) Experts Say: Food Shortage Coining Too mani people. Not enough food. The world is rushing toward a critical juncture of those conditions that requires a worldwide effort—probably- led by the United States—to avoid unprecedented mass starvation. They said it in different ways and with varying degrees of emphasis, but those were the warnings sounded here Tuesday and Wednesday by nationally and internationally respected experts speaking at a Western Carolina University symposium on the world food crisis. "Curbing of population growth has occurred in all too few of the developing nations," said Dr. Harold F, Robinson, provost of Purdue University and chancellor-elect of WCU. In India, he said, fantastic problems with regard to food availability now exist, " and mass starvation seems to be unavoidable." Dr. Robinson, who served Speakers Visit Here Nationally prominent lecturers and scholars will be appearing at Western Carolina University throughout the spring quarter under a new Visiting Scholars Program. Public lectures, colloquia, faculty workshops, clinics, and informal discussions with faculty members and students will feature the visits of the sch- Tonight, C.Hugh Holman, Kenan Professor of English at UNC-CH, will speak in the auditorium of the Belk Building. His topic will be "The Southern Writer and the Rorschach Test of History." Dr. John Lawther, internationally-known physical educator and author and recently retired head of the Department of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation at Penn State University, will visit the Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation April 15-18 for lectures, group meetings and seminars. Dr. Frank Walton, associate director of the Counseling center at the University of South Carolina and a member of the faculty of the Adlerian Institute in Chicago, will be conducting faculty seminars, class visitations, graduate student seminars and meeting with area counselors April 22-24, under sponsorship of the School of Education and Psychology. A public lecture on behavior modification will be presented by Dr. Ivar Lovaas on Thursday, April 25. A professor of psychology at the University of California at Los Angeles, he will meet students and faculty for informal discussions on Friday, April 26, An expert in the subject of early infantile autism, he has had notable success in treating this disorder in children and has published articles, films and books on the treatment of autism. Dr. Jesse H. Shera, dean emeritus of the School of Library Science at Case-Western Reserve University in Cleveland; Ohio, will visit the campus April 29-May 1. One of the world's leading authorities on documentation and classification, he will address media science majors and library faculty and staff, and will be present for the dedication of the University Archives. In May, Austin Wright, critic, novelist and professor of CONTINUED PAGE 4 as executive director of President Johnson's Science Advisory Committee Panel on the World Food Supply, said that the United States "must.provide the leadership in whatever steps are necessary to be taken to prevent starvation on a vast scale among.many of the poor nations." Increased productivity in the developing nations and curbing of the population growth provide the only solution to the crisis in food staring the world in the face today, he salcU Dr. Harold R. Cottam, North American representative of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), echoed that spirit earlier in the symposium, declaring that even though man's ability to produce food isnt keeping pace with the demands of rising population and increasing affluence, the world can still feed itself if it demonstrates the will to do so. He said governments of the world must share the burden of balancingpopulation and food supplies, and he called on the United States to assume world leadership in food security because of the high level of its agricultural technology and agricultural resources. The United Nations will seek to focus world attention on food problems at a World Food Conference in Rome next Nov- ember, he said. Both individual attitudes and political cooperation must play a part in solving the problems he said. Dr. Donald Losman, Loyola University economist, also blamed the increasing population of the earth for the food crisis. And the upward spiraling population problem is greatest, he said, in lesser-developed lands that can least afford the higher prices created by food shortages. CONTINUED PAGE 6. . . . Filing dates for spring elections were announced Monday by SGA Vice President Wardell T-ownsend at the student senate meeting. SGA presidential and vice presidential candidates must file in Townsend's office by next Wednesday in order to be on the ballot. Townsend said the elections would be held April 18. There is no fee to be paid for filing. To be qualified for office, a candidate must have been a full-time student at WCU for three quarters prior to elections and be a sophomore by fall quarter, according to the SGA constitution. Townsend said elections would be May 2 for day student senators, senators-at-lar- ge, president and vice president of the University Center Board, editor and business manager of the campus newspaper and yearbook, and general manager of the campus radio station. Filing dates for those offices will be from April 17 through - 24. When contacted last night, Townsend said at leastoneperson had filed for president, but declined to disclose the name. The SGA president receives a $300 stipend each quarter, and the vice president receives S250, Both offices have a one-year term. In other business, the senate approved an amendment to the SGA constitution making minor changes in the succession to the presidency should the office become vacant, The amendment will have to be approved by the student body in the spring election. Under the new amendment, if the president resigned or were removed and the vice president refused to become the new president, the president pro tern of the senate would become president permanently, or until a new election could be held. A second amendment was al" so added to make the same provision for an election if no one were available to fill the vice presidency should it be vacant. The academic affairs committee submitted a two-page report on what it called a bill of attainder that had been on the senate floor. The report asked the senators to kill the bill since bills of attainder were unconstitutional. Allegedly, a professor slapped a student last quarter according to the bill. The bill asked that this faculty member be fired and not recommended for employment at any other state school, After some debate, the bill was postponed indefinitely, effectively killing it, A resolution asking the WCU administration to declare April 12, Good Friday, a school holiday was passed, A bill limiting student campaigns to not more than three cents for every full-time student and two cents for other elections, The Rules Committee was asked to investigate the proposal. A bill that would limit student campaign expenditures to S150 per candidate was tabled in- definately when another bill on the same subject was offered. The second proposal would limit presidential and vice presidential campaigns tonotmore than three cents for every full- time student and two cents for other elections. The Rules Committee was asked to investigate the proposal. Steely Dan In Concert Tonight Tonight Steely Dan will perform in concert in Reid Gymnasium. Also performing will be The Brother Band.
