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.”

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.

bert F. Smith Memorial Fund.
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

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.

The stock market in this

days. Brokers were loath to quote
prices amid a threat that could
lead to panic selling of securities.
Forty miles to the west, in the

Chinese demonstrated in front of
the British consulate, then were
admitted in small groups to see
Consul Norman Ions to press their

Hsieh spoke were Premier Chou

According to an independent survey (we took it
ourselves), a startling new practice is becoming
widespread on some college campuses. T
Suddenly, fraternity men are no longer "pinning
the lovely young things that catch their eye.
Instead, they reach for a bottle of tart,
tinelintr Srn-i+o — and proceed to "cap
^ A their affections
Hallowed tradition
of ’’pinning" a girl is
up-dated by
Sprite bottle caps.
Why has this
come abouf 7
Perhaps because
of what happen 5
when you go
through the ceremony of openinga bottle of Sprite
It fizzes! Roars! Buzzes! Tingles! Bubbles!
AH of which makes for a much more moving momen
than to simply "pin" a girl.
Then, too, the intimacy of two people engaged
in the act of opening a bottle of Sprite in itsel
leads to strong emotional involvement.
Capped off, of course, by the sharing of a
few moments of delicious abandon. (Tasting the
tingling tartness of Sprite, that is.)
The beauty of the idea is that if the course
of true love does not run smooth, you don't have
to go to the trouble of getting back your pin.
You just buy another bottle of Sprite.
