China note
A headline in yesterday's Daily may have led
readers to believe that University Profs. Michel
Oksenberg, Allen Whiting, and Albert Fuerwerker
view Teng Hsiao-ping to be the most likely suc-
cessor to Mao Tse-tung as Communist Party
Chairman. Oksenberg, however, emphasized yes-
terday that no one was trying to predict Mao's
successor, but merely mentioning his name as one
possibility, among others, in attempting to explain
why Hua Kuo-feng, and not Teng, became Pre-
mier.

Bye, bye, Bentsen
Sen. Lloyd Bentsen (D.-Tex) withdrew as a
national contender for the presidency yesterday,
saying he would confine any campaigning to his
home state. Bentsen, 55, was unable to gather
more than two per cent of the delegates in the
Mississippi caucuses on January 24. Last week in
Oklahom he finished third among four choices
with less than 12 per cent of the delegates. Cam-
paign sources have said Bentsen plans to run as
a favorite son candidate in his state "to give Tex-
as a bargaining chip" at the Democratic conven-
tion in New York next July.

The New York Times and CBS have denied
supporting the CIA's refusal to give the Senate
Intelligence Committee the names of U. S. jour-
nalists and news organizations who had worked
for the agency in the past. Yesterday's Washing-
ton Post reported that newly appointed CIA Direc-
tor George Bush had "found support" for the agen-
cy's position after a meeting with executives of
The Times and CBS last week. Arthur Sulzberger,
publisher of The Times, said yesterday that the
subject of disclosing such names to the Senate
committee never arose in the meeting with Bush.
Times managing editor A. M. Rosenthal said that
both he and the newspaper supported complete
disclosure of the names of any of its correspond-
ents who had worked or cooperated with the CIA.

Vocal Valentines
A quartet of women from Michigan State Uni-
versity's chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota, a profes-
sional music sorority, are finding Valentine's Day
to be highly marketable. For a quarter, they'll
croon the sentiment and tune of your choice to
that special someone. Their most popular re-
quest is sung to the tune of "Five-Foot-Two" and
goes, in part, like this: "Eight-foot-three, bow-
legged knees, 0, you cutie, what you do to me,
so won't you be my valentine?" Their repertoire
includes 18 different selections. "You can't buy a
Valentine card for 25 cents anymore, and then
there's 13 cents postage," says Judy Evans, who
is plugging the project. Last year 500 vocal Valen-
tines were delivered by the sorority.
Billboard bard
There's a budding poet working for the Texas
Department of Highways and Public Transporta-
tion. The department has been posting rhyming
safety messages along construction sites. One
reads. "Your Car May be Sporty/But let's Hold it
to Forty." Another uses lingo from Citizen's Band
radio, now very much in vogue: "You've Been
Warned/So Don't Complain;/Old Smokey's Taking
Pictures/And He's in Your Lane." Engineers say
the signs have attracted so much attention that
some motorists are suggesting their own rhymes.

Leaders of the campus's largest unions Monday demanded
that University President Robben Fleming resign the chairman-
ship of a special committee to advise the Departments of Labor
and Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) on affirmative action
matters.
Fleming was appointed to the committee about two weeks ago
with several other university presidents and deans. The panel,
which will first meet on February 27, is to advise the two depart-
ments regarding federal guidelines for the recruitment and hiring
of minorities in the field of higher education.
THE STATEMENT calling for Fleming's resignation from the
committee was authorized by Joel Block, President of the Ameri-

The University will hold its
second annual dorm lottery at
7:30 tonight to determine which
students will be allowed to re-
apply for 'U' housing spaces
next fall.
Slightly more than 40 per cent
of the dorm spaces have been
reserved for returning students.
The admissions office expects
that 4475 freshpersons, 100 fewer
than last year, will enroll next
September. Fletcher, Oxford,
Baits and the traditional resi-
dence halls will allow 3835 stu-
dents to reapply for the remain-
ing spaces,

versity's medical interns and
residents.
"That Fleming would even
have the guts to accept the
chairmanship of the committee
without f i r s t rectifying the
abuses and injustices at Mich-

he intends to take his assign-
ment," they said.
"Fleming's own house is not
in order," said GEO Fair Prac-
tices Committee co-chairperson
Donna Gabaccia last night.
"He's scarcely the person to be
reviewing affirmative action in
higher education."
THE FAIR Practices Commit-
tee was established to review
the implementation of the GEO
contract provisions on affirma-
tive action and non-discrimina-
tion. The group was chiefly re-
snonsible for the complaint,

By MICHAEL BLUMFIELD
In the spring of 1965, ten days before the end of
the school year, Jonathan Kozol was fired from
his Boston teaching position for "curriculum de-
viation."
He had read a selection from black poet
Langston Hughes' work to a largely black class.
The school board was upset not because Hughes
was such a radical poet, but "because he is an
eighth-grade poet and I was teaching a fourth
grade class," Kozol told a Future Worlds audi-
ence at Hill Auditorium yesterday.
SLOUCHING on the podium and glancing at
notes on a legal pad, the Harvard-educated
Rhodes scholar reported that this "rather in-
glorious" start in his teaching career led him
to agree with Mark Twain that "In the begin-
ning, God created idiots."

renewed popularity.
By JIM TOBIN
Steadily rising apartment rents and the im-
pending dorm lotteries are proving a boon to
the campus's 50 sororities and fraternities, which
are experiencing their largest and most produc-
tive rush in recent years.
After nearly a decade of serious decline during
which several houses closed and many more
were seriously depleted, the Greeks are being
flooded with students-mostly freshpersons-who
are seeking an alternative to dorm and apartment
living.
THE NEW INTEREST is most dramatic among
fraternities, where more than twice as many men
went through rush this term as last term. The

WILLIAMS STRESSED that while fear of the
lottery may have prompted many students to in-
spect fraternities and sororities, they found more
that appealed to them once they got there.
"Despite the fact that they (Greek members)
weren't all rah-rah frat-rat types they had
trouble communicating that to people in the
dorms," she said.
"People are starting to realize that they really
do need each other. It really meets the needs of
some people who weren't quite ready to live on
their own."
SORORITY RUSH increased only seven per
cent, but just nine of the 15 houses participated
