For the next hour, we spoke about a variety of subjects, ranging from Bates College to the world situation to my own personal concerns. I found President Nixon to be an adept conversationalist as well as an attentive listener. He was aware of Bates College and had visited Lewiston a number of years ago while campaigning for a candidate in Maine. Throughout our discussion, I was impressed by President Nixon's good humor and en- tertaining conversation. Following is a summary of his remarks: ELEPHANTS ROW - Among the many elephant statues in\ President Nixon spoke at President Nixon's office are these three. The many statues are length regarding Professor from Africa, China, Morocco, Japan, and India. Fetter's upcoming trip to China. He prefaced his comments with a bit of humorous advice to those students travelling to China- one doesn't have to worry about getting Montezuma's Revenge.

On a more serious note, he pointed out that blacks' success in sports is "good for (blacks and) . . good for sports." Nixon also expressed amazement at the current salaries being paid to sports figures. As an example, he mentioned the rise in golf purses from $10,000 to $250,000 in the past few years, also com- menting that the increased money in sports "revolutionizes everything."
