THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, May 19, 1967 CADET SLOUCH XI Rudder Conducts Inspection by Jim Earle Of A&M Mid East Projects “We even expect him to start directing traffice any day now l*’ Youth Group Plans End To Drafting Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), the nation’s largest conservative youth group, has called for an end to the draft and transition to an all-volunteer Army. The YAF position is outlined in the May issue of the organization’s magazine, “The New Guard. That issue contains articles by three leading conservatives in favor of voluntary army. The three are former GOP presi dential candidate Barry Goldwater, author and historian Russell Kirk, and University of Chicago economist Milton Friedman. , Also in the issue are statements by other conservatives opposed to the draft, including California Governor Ronald Reagan; William F. Buckley Jr., editor of National Review; and Admiral Ben Moreell, now president of Americans for Constitutional Action. ^ . The following is the text of the YAF resolution on conscription. . .. “We, are young conservatives who support a policy of total victory over communism, particularly in the war in Vietnam, and want the United States to fight that war through to victory, hereby resolve that: , ., “1. The American people, through the Congress, should establish as our goal a voluntary system of military service. Congress should begin the implementation of that goal this year, with as many specific steps in the direction of volun- • • an( j it should establish tarism as are possible at this time; and it should establish a projected timetable for full implementatiaon of that goal. In times of acute national emergency, some form of temporary conscription may well be necessary to pro vide for the national defense. Congress should draft legis lation toward that end — legislation that is more equitable and realistic than the present Selective Service System. “3. Conscription can be justified in the country only in ths sense that it is the duty of every citizen to defend his country in time of war. We oppose any system (such as compulsory National Service) in which the justification is that a person owes a certain number of years of his life to the government. Such a system would be, in reality, a slave labor system coated with democratic slogans.” Religious Week (Continued From Page 1) erty told the Senate that his first choice of speakers would be Bob Richards, former Olympic Cham pion. The Senate also took up the issue of the 1968 Aggie Muster. Since April 21 falls on a Sunday, the usual procedure is to hold it on Monday. The Senate decided to hold it on the Sunday, how ever, and leave the time of the day indefinite until next fall. From the MSC Council, it was announced that two programs have been scheduled for next fall. The first will be a freshman orien tation reception in the MSC. The other will be a Town Hall presen tation of A1 Hirt the Friday night before the SMU game. Civilian Student Council Vice President George Walne read a report on the attempts to find an alternative to the compulsory board issue. A letter has been drafted by a committee of civilian students and will be presented to the board of directors for its con sideration. The letter asks for a delay on the issue and brought forth the point it might have been better if the board had warned the stu- up. Texas A&M President Earl Rudder will conduct his first in spection of the university’s inter national assistance programs in the Middle East next month. Departing June 4, Rudder will visit Texas A&M personnel as signed to Agency for Interna tional Development (AID) proj ects in Tunisia and Pakistan. He also will meet with government and university officials to dis cuss agricultural and other de velopment problems in the two countries. His first major stop will be Sousse, Tunisia, where he will review and evaluate the agricul tural education program being conducted by a 10-member A&M advisory group. From Tunisia, Rudder will journey to East Pakistan for a firsthand look at a college of architecture which A&M is help ing develop for the East Pakistan University of Engineering and Technology at Dacca. He also will return a visit made by the president of the newly construct ed East Pakistan Agricultural University at Mymensingh and meet with A&M consultants still assigned there. In West Pakistan, Rudder will confer with AID officials at the U. E. embassy in Lahore and later visit Islamabad. While A&M has been partici pating in AID’S Middle East pro gram for 12 years, the trip next month will be Rudder’s first since becoming president of the entire university system two years ago. A&M’s International Programs Office now operates projects in the Dominican Republic, Argen tina and Mexico, as well as in Tunisia and Pakistan. Traveling at personal expense, Mrs. Rudder will accompany her husband. Disturbances Light Wednesday Night At Prairie View PRAIRIE VIEW, Tex. (A>) A few trash cans were set afire Wednesday night after Prairie View A&M students listened to news reports about the Tuesday night riot on the Texas Southern University campus. Dr. R. I. Thomas, president of Prairie View A&M, said the inci dent was confined primarily to the trashcan fires, shouts, and the throwing of rocks. “A blue ribbon committee and some of our athletes took charge and brought the matter under con trol,” Thomas said. “It was a case of responsible students com ing forward and breaking it up.” Thomas said from 50 to 60 stu dents were involved and they ap parently had “automatic reac tions” out of sympathy for the Texas Southern students. New Play Begins In Guion Tonight The Fall-out Theater-Workshop will open tonight with “The Room,” written by Bob Robinson and directed by T. J. Leeds. Running both tonight and Sat urday night, “The Room” is a commentary on today’s society, concerning college students in a large university. The three main characters are representatives of the different social classes, thrown together in a room, which is an unofficial meeting place for a large group of students. Red, played by Al len Maurer, is a member of the higher income bracket. He uses his money to his best advantage and assumes control of the room and it’s members. James, played by Bob Robinson, was born in a slum ar ea in Net York and has spent his lif e tempting to achieve his CO al getting a college degree breaking all contacts with !; Lisa, played by P a t Adams, • trom an average middle das home and represents the catalvt for the conflict between Red s: James, that James, at least, is was inevitable. Other members of the castk elude Mike Mueller as the Orata and Leon Greene, Randy Daw and Mike Mueller, as the the men. Cindy Smith is in char* of lighting. Starting time for both eve;, ings is 8:00 p.m. and admissis will be 50 cents. Newton Attends A&M Graduate Given Command At Texas Base Reds Say British Engaging In Anti-Chinese Collusion Plastics Program Chartier Newton, assistant pro fessor in the School of Architec ture, will participate in a special one week plastics program next month at the Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology.

HONG KONG (A 5 ) _ Red China told the British Thursday it would not tolerate “Fascist sup pression of Chinese compatriots in Hong Kong.” It accused the British of engaging in an anti- Chinese plot in collusion with the United States. Radio Peking said Deputy Premier Hsieh Fu-chic, who also is security minister, issued the warning at an anti-British rally attended by 100,000 in the Red Chinese capital As Hsieh spoke, quiet returned to Hong Kong’s teeming Kow loon quarter, where anti-British rioting first erupted May 11. The rioting began after police broke up demonstrations by strikers at three factories making artificial flowers. But thousands of pro-Commu- nist Chinese marched on Govern ment House on Hong Kong Is land throughout the day, plaster ing its walls and gates with anti- British posters. There was no violence. Clenched fists unpraised, they screamed accusations of “Brit ish” Fascist atrocities.” They de clared Gov. Sir David Trench, who Rauch To Speak In Carlsbad June 1 dents before passing the resolu tion. The alternative plan would be a five-day and seven-day plan of payment, although this was not a final plan. Walne stated that 40 per cent of Sbisa diners do not go to the cafeteria on weekends and an ad ditional 1,000 civilian dormitory students eat off campus. Reese Brown, Public Relations Committee chairman, told the Senate that the Corps staff will meet with President Rudder next week and informed the Senators of the issues that will be brought Wildlife Students To Help Conduct Mexican Project One of the major problems the staff will take to Rudder will be that of getting off so late, June 3. Brown stated that starting Sep tember 1 would be a solution, with the possibility of having a month break for Christmas, simi lar to the arrangement at South ern Methodist. Another problem Brown stressed was the fact that stu dents should be allowed to sign up for the professors instead of just sections. Still another was the giving of major quizzes during “dead week.” The Senate ended its last meet ing of the year by naming Ron McLeroy Student Senate chaplain by acclamation. Seven wildlife science under graduate students have been named to help conduct white wing dove research this summer in Mexico. Dr. James Teer, associate pro fessor of wildlife science and principal investigator of the four- year project funded by a $10,000 U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service grant, said students will split into teams to band white wings in the State of Tamaulipas. The student researchers include seniors Ronnie L. McPherson of Normangee, Frederick G. Lind- zey of College Station, Miles P. Locke Jr. of Bryan, and Bruce R. Duke of Pasadena, and juniors Dan B. Boone of Dripping Springs, James F. Kee of Hen derson, and Arthur M. Bowers of Palacios. Teams will band doves in col onies near Ciudad Mante, Victoria and La Encarnacion. Teer ex plained the aim of the research project is to determine if Mexican doves have an affinity to the Rio Grande Valley population hunted each fall. Teer predicted researchers will band up to 60,000 doves during the next four years. A preliminary study indicates a migration pat tern of 300 to 400 miles from Mexico to Texas, he noted.

Brokers were loath to quote prices amid a threat that could lead to panic selling of securities. Forty miles to the west, in the Portuguese colony of Macao, 300 Chinese demonstrated in front of the British consulate, then were admitted in small groups to see Consul Norman Ions to press their charges of police brutality in Hong Kong. On the platform in Peking as Hsieh spoke were Premier Chou En-lai and Chen Po-ta, head of the purge committee.
