Law Enforcement
Demands Too Weak?
President Johnson, dreaming of a Great Society, out
lined plans for stricter law enforcement to Congress Monday.
He called for tighter restriction of narcotics, more effec
tive regulation of firearms, federal aid for local law enforce
ment and deeper understanding by the American people of
the causes of crime.
His suggestions have merit. Many of them will most
likely be followed by the national lawmakers when they enact
legislation aimed at curbing crime.
The President believes these four aims are essential for
the Great Society which his administration hopes to produce:
1. Control of the narcotics market—The use of drugs,
other than for prescribed medical reasons, is directly related
to the increase in robbery, murder and rape. The person
hooked on dope often becomes incapable of distinguishing
between right and wrong and will go to great depths to
acquire narcotics.
2. Firearm regulation—Specifically, prohibiting mail
order sales to individuals. It was a mail order rifle, you
remember, which Lee Harvey Oswald used to assassinate
President Kennedy.
3. Federal aid for enforcement—Johnson said that
federal assistance has long been provided in local law enforce
ment. His administration will seek to increase appropria
tions in this field. Basically, law enforcement is a local
matter, but it takes on national responsibility when not
adequately supported.
4. Prevention by education—The President will estab
lish his Commission on Law Enforcement and Administra
tion of Justice. Johnson asked Congress Monday for legis
lation to authorize the attorney general to assist state, local
and private groups in crime control programs. Such pro
grams would probably include something similar to “Opera
tion Teen Ager” sponsored by the State of Texas.
President Johnson summed up his intentions, “This
message recognizes that crime is a national problem. That
recognition does not carry with it any threat to the basic
prerogatives of state and local governments. It means,
rather, that the federal government will henceforth take
a more meaningful role in meeting the whole spectrum of
problems posed by crime.”
Yes, crime is a national problem. It will continue to
be until something is done.
In general, three decisive steps must be taken, whether
by private or governmental groups:
1. A wholesale educational program.
2. Tighter regulations.
3. Stricter enforcement.
The President, Congress and the people know this. What
will they do about it? G.A.D.
Record Appropriations
Considered For Colleges
AUSTIN <A>) — The Senate
Finance subcommittee’s general
appropriations bill recommends
a record $281 million from all
funds for state colleges* nearly
$10 million more than the House-
passed bill.
The 1966-67 appropriations bill,
which the subcommittee reported
to the full Finance Committee to
day, also includes $481,400 for
the new Coordinating Board, Tex
as college and university system.
The House bill made no such pro
vision.
A fact sheet on the Senate bill,
on which the committee will act
Thursday, said it “contained the
bulk of Gov. Connally’s budget
recommendations for colleges and
universities,” with significant in
creases for faculty salaries, lib
raries and organized research.
The addition of Angelo State
College and Pan American Col
lege of Edinburg to the system
of tax-supported senior colleges
accounted for $9.4 million of the
recommended increase over the
current $201.4 million spent for
higher education.
The subcommittee recommend
ed a $20,000 annual salary for the
commissioner of the new coordi
nating board, instead of the $25,-
000 asked by Connally.
Connally signed last week the
bill creating the Coordinating
Board, his main recommendation
for colleges and universities.
Direct state aid to the 32 jun
ior colleges was recommended at
$)2!5.7 million — $9.2 million over
the current $16.5 million. Con
nally asked a larger increase —
to $29.5 million.
“Funds for educational in
struction at all levels were gen
erously provided,” said Sen. Dor
sey Hardeman of San Angelo,
committee chairman.

**Am Earie Columbia Praises Grant
By Intercollegiate Press
New York, N. Y. — “An in
calculable impetus to the study
of international affairs in the
United States.” This was the
reaction on the Columbia Uni
versity campus to the recent an
nouncement of a Ford Foundation
grant of $10.9 million to Colum
bia for “major long-term streng
thening of the international role
of American universities.
Columbia will use the new
grant, one of the largest in the
10-year history of the University,
as follows:
$2.5 million will be allocated
to the construction of the new $11
million home of the School of In
ternational Affairs;
$2.5 million will provide the
capital support for five profes
sional chairs in the School; and
$5.9 million, which is designat
ed for instructional, research, and
related purposes, will be allocat
ed to the School of International
Affairs, the School of Law, the
Graduate School of Journalism,
and Teachers College.
“It is truly difficult to assess
the impact of the grant,” declar
es Andrew W. Cordier, dean of
the School of International Af
fairs. “There has been nothing
comparable down through the
years. It will permit Columbia
to endow professorships, some ;
which are now supported by shot!
term financing; to strengthenilj
institution-wide planning and tl
management of its internationi
programs; and to expand inte
disciplinary and comparative n
search.”

My name is Tommy Stone and
I am running for one of the two
positions of Junior Yell Lead
er. I am an Architectural Con

Texas, and at the present time
serve as Guidon Bearer for Squad

As you all know, one of the
greatest traditions this school has
is the Twelfth Man and its’ un

bad, defeat and victory. The
representation and spirit of this
Twelfth Man “Team,” and it
may be considered as such, means
very much to A&M and I know
it does to you. Through the i
Twelfth Man, we as a student
body show the faith and spirit
we have as Texas Aggies. I
want to serve, as a representative
of bur class, the Twelfth Man
which so greatly exempilifies our
school through the long basic
foundaitons of desire, spirit, and
hard work.
