ATE Johnson Plans
Sen. Barry Goldwater arrives in
Amarillo Tuesday to start another
■ //<jfl)fo||nd of political appearances by
he big- guns of both parties woo-
ng Texas’ 25 electoral college
rotes.
Arriving in Dallas Tuesday will
v-v j>e an administration cabinet mem-
per, Defense Secretary Robert Mc-
I Mamara.
And Friday, and probably all
"veekend, President Lyndon B.
Johnson will be in the state.
d Goldwater will spend three
Hours in Amarillo, landing about
11:45 a.m. for a speech in the
Potter County Stadium, a baseball
field.
§ Johnson disclaimed any feeling
J over confidence Monday and
CAd'said he is going to campaign all
_ Hver the country so he can look
, voters “in the eye.”
MJohnson, whose campaign plans
nave been somewhat hazy, told a
news conference:
We think that the people want
to hear from us, they want to get
&ur viewpoints on public questions,
they want to know how we stand
pg on issues, so we are going to be
visiting all over this country.”
' Goldwater returned to the attack
on the Supreme Court on Monday
night for its school prayer and
reapportionment decisions. He de
scribed them as examples of “raw
g and naked power.”
L Making his third campaign stop
” in North Carolina in less than a
|ieek, the Republican presidential
n< minee said also, in a prepared
Ipeech: “I challenge my opponent,
|ne interim President Lyndon
Baines Johnson, to face the issues.
I dare him to face me before the
_—^world. I demand of him—debate.”
With this indication, H. L.
Heaton, director of admissions and
registrar, said the present school
policy of not having Saturday
classes will be continued.
“But,” he noted, “the 1965-66
university bulletin has not been
completed, and I have not re
ceived any notice of change.”
Corps intramurals are scheduled
to open Oct. 5. Intramural con
tests will be scheduled so Wednes
days will be left open for drills.
“If this can be accomplished,
drills will be conducted on this
day,” noted Hotchkiss.
“But if things cannot be worked
out, then Saturday drills will have
to start the week of Oct. 5,”
Hotchkiss added.
The present school policy is to
conduct most classes on week days
so the Corps can drill on Satur
days.
Last week cadet units drilled
Thursday, departing from the us
ual Saturday practice. Hotchkiss
said week day drills will continue
at least for the next two weeks
until the intramural schedule is
released.
This week’s drill is also sche
duled for Thursday, Hotchkiss
added.
