“The majority of motels and

Riot Kills Houston Off icer Space official
Speaks At Confab
HOUSTON, Tex. <AP)—A rookie
policeman died of a gunshot
wound Wednesday in a battle be
tween officers and student snipers
at Texas Southern University, the
state’s largest Negro school.
Three other persons suffered
wounds.
Police said more than 3,000
rounds of ammunition were fired.
While police questioned 488
students arrested during the four-
hour dormitory siege, city and
school officials sought to discover
what led to an outbreak Mayor
Louie Welch said amounted to
anarchy.
Patrolman Lewis R. Kuba was
shot between the eyes as he
crouched on the terrace of the
Student Union Building during an
assault with some 100 fellow po
licemen on the dormitory from
which students were firing guns
and hurling crude fire bombs.
Kuba, 25, died about IVz hours
later without recovering con
sciousness. His widow is expect
ing their first child and the cou
ple had moved into a new home
only Tuesday.
While police questioned the stu
dents jamming every available
city and county cell, trying to pin
point the gunmen, Welch met with
the Police Chief Herman Short,
the district attorney and the
school administration.
Later, Welch said he found a
total breakdown of communica
tion between students and admin
istration at the 7,000-student
school.
“When that happens, you have
anarchy, and that’s what we had
last night,” Welch said, promising
a full report to Texas Gov. John
Connally. TSU is a state-sup
ported school.
The Rev. Marvin Griffin of
Waco, Tex., chairman of TSU’s
board, said he would confer with
the governor.
“Once we find the students who
precipitated the violence, we will
get rid of them,” he said.
TSU’s acting president, Dr. Jos
eph A. Pierce, professed bewilder
ment. “I drove past the campus
about 9:30 or 10 last night and all
was peaceful,” he said. “I went
to bed.”
Tuesday had been an unusually
heavy day of protest actions in
Houston. A total of 64 ax-rests
were made in separate demon
strations at a city dump Negx-oes
want closed and at a suburban
junior high school where 14 white
and Negi-o students wei-e expelled
for fighting.
Ten persons blockading the en-
tx-ance to the dump, which neigh
borhood Negroes called a health
hazard, were taken by police to
a conversation with Welch, who
urged a halt to the protest.
Late Tuesday afternoon, the
protest was renewed and 32 pex--
sons, mostly TSU students, were
arrested at the dump on loitering
charges.
A Marshall Space Flight Cen
ter official, Dr. James R. Scog
gins, will present a May 25
Meteorology Colloquium at Texas
A&M University, announced Dr.
Vance E. Moyer, Meteox-ology
Department head.
Dr. Moyer said the 3:30 p.m.
presentation, “Observed Charac-
tex-istics of Mesoscale Motions,”
will be in the Coke Building fac
ulty room.
Dr. Scoggins will present an
alyses of data collected at Cape
Kennedy, Fla., and Point Mugu,
Calif., x-elating to Atlantic and
Pacific missile x-ange operations.
The colloquium speaker is dep
uty chief of the aerospace envir
onment division at the Huntsville,
Ala., center.
He holds the A. B. degree in
math and physics from Berry Col
lege, Ga., and B.S., M.S. and Ph.D.
degrees in meteorology from Penn
State, where he was a student of
Hans Panofsky.
The NASA scientist was an Air
Force meteorologist and Lock
heed Aii-craft mathematical an
alyst and meteorologist before
NASA at Huntsville. During his
seven years at the center, Scog
gins has served as space scien
tist (meteox-ologist). His primary
endeavors have been measurement

tions at sub-60,000 feet altitudes.

Summer Students
Must Move After
Second Semester
Second semester summer
school students must move out
of the dormitories immediately
after the sessions close, accord
ing to Allan M. Madeley, hous
ing manager.
“The reason is an expected at
tendance of 4,000-5,000 for the
Amei'ican Institute of Biological
Sciences Conference here, Aug.
26-Sept. 1,” Madeley explained.
Ordinarily, students have been
permitted to move belongings to
their fall rooms after the close
of summer school.
“We realize that the absence
of that privilege this year may
work some degree of hardship
on our students. We sincerely
hope, however, that they will un
derstand the importance of this
nationwide conference to Texas
A&M,” Madeley said.
“Their co-operation will make
a most important contribution to
the smoothness of the housing
operations during the confer
ence,” he added.
