r ... U - The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, December 8, 1971 Pakistan sets coalition government Pakistani radio announced Tuesday that President Agha Mohammad Yahya Khan has decided to form a coalition government. The announcement came as Indian army troops crashed through Last Pakistani defenses in the key towns of Jessore and Syihet. The numerically-superior Indian troops supporting the Nfukti Bahini freedom fighters made tremendous advances on the retreating Pakistani troops. India's chief of staff called on these Pakistani troops to surrender and give up the country to the Bangla Desh independence movement. The announcement from Radio Pakistan said Yahya Khan had asked former foreign minister Zulsizar A!; Bhutto, the leftist leader of the Pakistan People's party, to set up a centra! coalition government after December 2" to replace the current military regime.

We ran them in a lot of college newspapers last year. Their purpose was to aii3 wer some of the critical questions students were asking" about our company. Maybe you saw them. A lot of students did. And a lot wrote to us about them. In many cases the ads triggered additional questions, questions so provocative that we've decided to expand our communications with college students. We're doing it in several ways. We've already started to have conferences of student opinion leaders and GE people at our various plant locations. These conferences permit deep probing of sticky questions. They help us to understand the concerns of students. But they involve relatively few students and GE people. So we're going to share some of the questions and answers (like the ones above) with you by continuing our ads in college newspapers. And well make sure our people see your questions, too through company magazines and plant newspapers. We think your concerns are important. And we think you should know how seriously we take them.
