my earnest hope that you will go
out of your way to talk with high
school students about this. Talk
to individulas and groups as op-

Editor’s Note: This is the fourth
in a political spotlight series
designed to further acquaint the
readers with the major political
figures of the state and the na-
tion.
Lloyd Bentsen is a candidate
for United States Senator from
Texas, a seat now held by Sen-
ator Ralph Yarborough who Ben-
tsen defeated in the Democratic
primary last Spring. Bentsen is
a member of the Texas Estab-
lishment that has governed the
state for many decades, and this
fact is both a help and a hin-
derance to his campaign. Bent-
sen has drawn very warm and
enthusiastic support from For-
mer President Johnson, Former
Governor John Connally andFor-

South Plains College is cur-
rently in its third year of train-
ing students in occupational weld-
ing. The first class of graduates
entered the welding trade in the ’
spring of 1970. A favorable re-
sponse from industry resulted in
each graduate securing immed-
iate successful employment.
The favorable response from
industry in conjunction with the
diverse skill requirements with-
in the welding trade manifest a
need to broaden the program of-
ferings at South Plains College.
Three programs in welding are
presently availabel to the student

ester integrated program includ-

the Texas liberals believe that he
is less liberal than the Repub-
lican candidate and will either
refuse to vote for either can-
didate or support the Republi-
can candidate or write in Sena-
tor Yarborough’s name. Bentsen
and his supporters believe that
he should be the SENATOR FOR
THE SEVENTIES from Texas.

IN
Interest from people concer-
ning a half-time evening program
in welding indicates a need for
providing training on a half time
basis beginning with the spring
semester, January 1971. The
half-time program provides thei
same training as the full day
program. Students meet 15 clock
hours per week in scheduled.ev-
ening classes. Half-time evening
classes receive the same com-
pletion credit as day classes.
The instigation of a half-time
evening program is contingent
upon sufficient interest expres-
sed by prospective students. In-
terested person should reply or
inquire immediately to the Tech-
nical Vocational Division or dir-
ectly to Clyde Morgan, welding
instructor, South Plains College,
Levelland, Texas.

Loyd Bentsen is campaigning
hard and is hammering away at
the belief that Texas needs at
least one Senator from the Dem-
ocratic Party in Congress. He
states that the Senate and Cong-
ress are going to remain under
Democratic leadership and a
Democratic senator can get more
accomplished for Texas. Bent-
sen states that “I want to rep-
resent all Texans and give them
a strong, clear voice in the
Democratic Party and in the af-
fairs of this nation.”
Briefly, Bentsen believes
strongly that we should work to
see that every American has an
opportunity for a good education,
a good job and the training neces-
s ary toperform it well. He should
have the opportunity to rise as
high in our society as his abili-
ty and energy permit. He should
have the opportunity to live in a
decent house, to have decent
food and health care. He is en-
titled to full value for every dol-
lar he earns, without having that
dollar undermined by runaway
Bentsen’s major problem
in this predominantly Democratic
state is to overcome the bit-
terness of the Spring primaries
in which he alienated many Y ar-
borough supporters by his cam-
as. He has served the people
of this state as a county judge
and as a member of Congress.

ord included support and accom-
plishments in many fields: veto
