though. I remember (Who does-

my sophomore year. Jerry played !

Zola Twyman, who lived in i
Baytown several years before
moving to San Marcos, came to
the university-branch of our!
church Sunday. She is studying i
nursing at the Brackeprldge Hos-
pital here in Austin. She had just
received a letter from Elaine j
Schaeffer, now attending TCIJ. j
Elaine loves it, Zola reports.
She also asked about several
people she had met from Bay- j
town In San Marcos, among them
Pat Abbott. I had happened to
see both Pat and Bill, his older [
brother, the day. before. Bill, it
seems, has similar problems to j
those of Bill Walsh. For govern-1
ment he has a teacher by the 1
name of Mac Donald, affection- j
ately dubbed "Black Mack" be-,
cause of the astronomical num-:
ber of students failing his course.
These are some of the students
going on scholastic probation or, j
as it is unofficially termed,
mimicking the fraternities on
campus, "pledging sco beta pro.”

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) j
— German movie producers are
under fire for exposing too much !
flesh in their exports to South
America.
Sexy scenes are sometimes add- i
ed to movies to make them more |
palatable abroad. Critics say this 1
gives Latin Americans a distorted i
view of Germany, a picture of
easy girls and adulterous men. j
Critic H. P. Gebhardt in the j
Stuttgarter Zeitung says scenes of;
seduction and of girls bathing in j
the nude are frequently added to;
films for South American export, j
"There Is no doubt: pornography j
boosts business,” Gebhardt says.
"But the psychological effect on ;
international relations is danger-;
ous.”
Producers deny they are shoot-;
ing sexy scenes just for the South
American market.
"Usually we have two copies,”
explained M. Bechtold, an official!
of the Exportfilm Bischoff Co. of
Munich which handles a lot of ex- j
ports. "One make is for Germany j
and the other for export. The ex-
port copy still has all the scenes i
