In addition, the team organized

teams and a highly popular audi
ence round on U. S. Vietnam pol
icy with Oxford University deba

More than 7 0 0 attended the
A&M-Oxford round in the Memor

of the year’s most popular pro

cause he knows that he cannot
truthfully do so.”
Thurmond told the Senate that
Rostow “is being less than can
did” in replying he had a contin
uous security clearance since
1951. Thurmond said there are
various levels of access to secret
matters.
Rostow could not be reached
immediately for comment on
Thurmond’s remarks.
THURMOND said the specific
issue is “whether Rostow was
initially rejected for a high-level
clearance by the Department of
the Air Force” and was turned
down two more times by the De
partment of State in 1955 and
1957.
Rostow is now President John
son’s special assistant for na
tional security matters.
A brief filed in a Civil Service
case at the State Department
charged that Rostow was reject
ed three times for security clear
ance during President Dwight D.
Eisenhower’s administration. The
case is that of Otto F. Otepka,
who is challenging his dismissal
as the department’s chief security
evaluations officer.
THE STATE Department said
last Friday when the allegations
against Rostow became known
that it would have no comment
on any matter involving the
Otepka case while it is pending.
Rostow claimed security clear
ance ever since 1951 when, ac
cording to a biographical sketch
in Who’s Who, he was a staff
member of the Center for Inter
national Studies. He did not say
why he had obtained the clear
ance then.
Thurmond said denial of a se
curity clearance does not imply
disloyalty, but does raise a ques
tion of risk.
Rostow’s present position,
Thurmond said, “shows clearly
that the security standards in our
top echelons have been lowered.”

In Opening Political Forum
By JOHN FULLER
Representatives of the Republi
can and Democratic parties trad
ed political jabs here Thursday
before emerging with a mutually-
acceptable bit of advice for A&M
students: get involved.
Donald Rumsfeld, Republican
representative from Illinois, and
Wyche Fowler, Jr., director of
the Young Americans Division
of the Democratic National Com
mittee, made the remarks in the
season's first Political Forum.
The series is sponsored jointly by
the Great Issues Committee and
the Department of History and
Government.
“Our system of government isn’t
perfect, by any means,” Rums
feld told the audience, “but it
can be made to work only if it
is guided by enough well-educated
people.
“GET INVOLVED,” he went on
to urge the students. “We need
your ideas and activity, because
only if we have a broad input of

Delegate Slots
Applications from prospective
Texas A&M student delegates to
the 13th Student Conference on
National Affairs at A&M will be
accepted October 25 through Nov.
6 in the Memorial Student Center
Directors Office.
Pat H. Rehmet, SCONA XIII
chairman, said A&M will have 24
delegates to probe the conference
theme: “The Price of Peace in
Southeast Asia.”
Sixteen will be United States
citizens with eight international
students from A&M, Rehmet
pointed out.
Invitations have been mailed to
115 colleges and universities in
the United States, Mexico and
Canada, requesting delegates to
the December 6-10 conference.
Rehmet said A&M applicants
should be graduate students, seni
ors or juniors with 1.5 or better
grade point ratios. Applicants
may not be on probation.
Prospective delegates may be
nominated by deans of the various
colleges or by students at large.
A selection committee will be
named to interview prospects
November 3-10, Rehmet explained.
Application forms are available

Commandant’s Office and at the

work can we expect a successful
output.”
Fowler expressed similar views,
noting that there is “no better
field in which progress results
from a small contribution” than
politics.
“The major crisis our country
faces today is not the Vietnam
war or race riots,” he went on,
“but the changing attitudes of
our young people. Your genera
tion is sick of hearing how well
off you are, because you can
see clearly how far we still have
to go. And you can determine how
far we go by becoming involved in
government.”
$18,500 Grant
Given A&M
By Humble Oil
Texas A&M has been awarded
an $18,500 grant by the Humble
Oil Education Foundation.
John S. Bell of Houston, man
ager of the Production Depart
ment of Humble Oil & Refining
Company’s East Texas Division,
made the presentation during
brief ceremonies Thursday in the
offices of A&M President Earl
Rudder.
A&M’s College of Engineering,
School of Business Administra
tion and 10 individual depart
ments will share in the funds.
Allocations are: College of En
gineering, $1,000; School of Bus
iness Administration, $1,500; Pe
troleum Engineering, $3,000;
Chemical Engineering, $2,000;
Mechanical Engineering, $2,000;
Electrical Engineering, $1,500;

counting, $1,500; Geology, $2,500;
Geophysics, $1,000; Oceanogra
phy, $1,000, and Transportation,
$500.
Bell said the A&M grant is
part of $363,000 being awarded
by the foundation this year to
89 institutions throughout the na
tion.
The Humble Oil Education
Foundation is supported by the
Humble Oil & Refining Co., Hum
ble Pipe Line Co., Humble Gas

Fowler and Rumsfeld differed,
predictably, on which party stu
dents should select for this in
volvement.
“THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
is an anachronism,” Rumsfeld
charged in his opening remarks.
“It is a marriage of convenience,
formed of groups with diverse
and conflicting interests. It is an
alliance formed not to govern
but to hold power, and the result
has been ineffective government.”
Futhermore, he asserted, the
Democratic Party “acts as if it
owns the place” as a result of
being the perennial majority
party in Washington.
The Republican Party, on the
other hand, is “the party of op
portunity,” according to Rums
feld.
Fowler took issue with Rums
felds’ descriptions of Republican
goals, asserting that “Democrats
try to figure out how to do things,
while Republicans try to figure
out how not to do things.”
“THE REPUBLICAN VIR-
TUes—thrift, responsibility, ini
tiative—sound admirable to most
of us, but there are many people
for whom they are just impossible.
“The more the Republicans look
to the past, the more we must
look to the future,” he went on.
‘‘The more they polarize politics
around the negative side, the more
we must look to the positive side.
The more the Republican Party
becomes exclusive, the more the
Democratic Party must become
inclusive.”
Fowler, who was a delegate
from Davidson College to A&M’s
Student Conference on National
Affairs in 1960, is currently study
ing law at Emory University in
Atlanta, Georgia. Rumsfeld, a
member of the House Committee
on Science and Astronautics, the
Committee on Government Opera
tions, and the Joint Economic
Committee, was named by Chi
cago Area Jaycees in 1965 as one
of the 10 outstanding young men
for the year.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Police arrested 33 antiwar
demonstrators at Brooklyn Col
lege Thursday, touching off a
bloody, five-minute pitched bat
tle with several hundred angry,
shouting students.
With peaceful picketing replac
ing three days of sitdown tactics
at the Oakland, Calif., Induction
Center, the spotlight swung to
the East Coast as a week of
Vietnam war protests continued.
In Madison, Wis., 13 leaders
of a violent antiwar demonstra
tion on Wednesday were expelled
from the University of Wisconsin,
prompting hundreds of students
to boycott classes and set up
chanting picket lines outside
classrooms.
MEANWHILE, a vanguard of
120 men of the 82nd Airborne
Division were flown into Wash
ington as the Defense Depart
ment moved to protect the Pen
tagon against a mass antiwar
demonstration scheduled for Sat
urday.
The Brooklyn College demon
stration began with a sit-in to
protest installation of a Navy
recruiting stand in a student
activities building. After 33 ar
rests were made, several hundred
other students turned on the
police.
Night sticks were swung as
officers formed a flying wedge
and fought their way into a
student crowd that blocked a road
way from the campus.
SEVERAL students were left
bleeding. One patrolman was car
ried off on a stretcher as students
gave a Nazi salute and shouted,
“Heil! Hell!”
In Oakland, several busloads
of inductees entered the center
there without police escort and
without opposition. Hundreds of
marching pickets opened a lane
for the buses, contenting them
selves with shouting, ‘‘Don’t go!”
Earlier in the week, the dem
onstrators had tried to block the
center’s main entrance and more
than 200 were dragged or escort
ed to police wagons.
UNIVERSITY of Wisconsin’s
students skirmished with police
Wednesday over on-campus job
recruiting by the Dow Chemical
Co., which makes napalm for the
Vietnam war.
71 Drill Team
Names Leaders
For New Year
Noel H. Thomas of Dallas has
been elected commander of the
Freshman Drill Team for 1967-68.
The Fish Drill Team, under
Thomas’ command, will make its
first dress appearance of the year
in the Dec. 2 Bryan-College Sta
tion Chamber of Comerce
Christmas Parade.
Thomas is a civil engineering
major and Company D-l cadet.
Also serving as team officials
are Samuel E. Garcia of San An
tonio, executive officer and gui
don bearer, and F. M. Hofstetter
of Bellaire, right guide.
Garcia, an industrial engineer
ing major in Squadron 11, and
Thomas were elected by the 75-
member team. The precision rifle
unit has had freshmen from San
Antonio in command positions
three straight years.
A Company C-2 cadet and me
chanical engineering major, Hof
stetter was selected for right
guide by the team’s upperclass
advisors and Calvin Reese of the
commandant’s office, team spon
sor. They also selected Garcia as
guidon bearer.
The team will compete in the
Gulf Coast Senior Drill Competi
tion in Houston Dec. 16 and other
drill meets to be scheduled during
the spring semester, noted Jim
Yogas of Galveston, senior ad
visor.
Expulsion of 13 leaders of the
demonstration brought a crowd
of about 1,500 students milling-
outside the office of Chancellor
William H. Sewell on Thursday.
After numerous pep talks, they
broke into smaller groups and
began picketing classx-ooms on
the 32,00-student campus.
In Chicago, helmeted police
turned back a charge by 100
demonstrators on an armed forces
induction center. It was the third
day of picketing at the center,
near Chicago’s downtown busi
ness district. However, inductees
made their way through the
picket lines to report.
SIX REED College students,
protesting the draft, chained
themselves at the entrance to
the Selective Service office in
Portland, Ore., and police had
to use metal cutters to snap the
links.
Students Sought
By SCONA XIII
To Report Talks
Applications for recorders are
being taken in the Student Con
ference on National Affairs Of
fice in the Memorial Student Cen
ter for the upcoming conference
in December.
A writing sample should be
turned in by Oct. 31, as well as
signing the list in the Program
Committee box.
SCONA XIII, whose topic is
‘‘The Price of Peace in South
east Asia,” will have eight round
tables each, holding five sessions.
A recorder must be present at
each of the three and half hour
sessions.
The recorder’s job will be to
summarize the discussion of the
delegates and the roundtable
chairmen for a permanent record
and a basis of further discussion.
“We need sophomores, juniors
and seniors,” Lawrence Stelly
programs chairman, said. “We
prefer sophomores and juniors
because the experience will make
them possible delegates to future
SCONAs.
“We hope to have about 40
candidates with 1.25 grade-point
ratios and a B in English 104,”
Stelly continued. “These 40 will
be cut to 20 on the basis of
grades and the writing sample.
“The remainder will be inter
viewed on their knowledge of for
eign affairs by Dr. Haskell Mon
roe, associate dean of the grad
uate college and a SCONA ad
visor.”
