CADET SLOUCH
Bonnie Jo Who?
The nevs that Bonnie Jo Bilyeu, former manacins edi
tor of San Dngo State College’s newspaper, was sentenced
to six years in federal prison for smuggling marijuana
came as no surpriae.
The 21-year-old girl pleaded guilty. She was arrested
in January at the Mexican border, trying to bring 44 pounds
of marijuana into the United States.
Miss Bilyeu was sentenced by U. S. J>istrict Judge
James Carter despite a parole board's recommendation for
parole.
What suprises us is the reason Carter gave for handing
out such a heavy sentence.
The judge said her case and sentence might deter
other college studenU from using marjuana.
This type of justice and using someone as an example
for others went out with Judge Roy Bean and his “Law
West of the Pecos.”
We’d be willing to bet college students using marijuana
won’t be affected by Miss Bilyeu’s sentence at all. They
probably never .heard of her*.

A year of observation in the
U. S. Office of Education has
convinced a Texas A&M profes
sor the federal government is not
trying to control education.
“It was evidenced over and
over," declared Dr. Roger L. Har
rell, Education and Psychology
Department professor who was
in Washington. D.C.. on a work-
study program supported by the
National Institute of Public Af
fairs. lie?
His bpinion contradicts a gen
eral feeling among educators
that federal support to education
is designed to enable the U. S.
government to take over educa
tional reins.
‘The states are too powerful
for one thing," Harrell said.
"IfSOE has no desire in this di
rection. Its programs are struc
tured along Congressional lines
to help states focus on situations
tkat need attention."
HE SAID national priorities
are aimed at helping solve big
city problems and introducing in
novations in rural areas, at in
dividual school district request.
Dr. Harrell was one of .14 se
lected educators for the year
long USOE assignment. Work-
study requirements included
seminars by such speakers as
(Whizseri White; Dr. Douglas
Cater, presidential assistant for
educational affairs, and the
heads of the Atomic Energy
Commission, National Science
Foundation, civil service and oth
er governmental agencies.
"They described their opera
tions and how they relate to the
total education program," Har
rell said.
EACH OF THE 34 national
scholars worked in various USOE
sections. Harrell served in a
leadership - lecturer capacity in
the Division of Plans and Sup
plementary Centers, Bureau of
Elementary and Secondary Edu
cation, and as special consultant
to the chief. Innovative Centers
Branch.
The Title HI specialist indicat
ed Texas is one of three leading ,
states pioneering in development
of regional service centers.
“TEXAS' organization and 20
statute-supported media centers
exemplify the state level of plan
ning intended by the Congres
sional act," he said. ^
. The Eastern New Mexico and
yniversity of New Mexico grad
uate said Title Ill’s aim is to
seek, develop and evaluate “way-
out. high risk innovative educa
tion ideas.”
"Some programs are expected
to fail because they are way out
and include an element of doubt,"
Harrell went on.
"But if it works, our youth will
benefit."
"Remember that ‘next year we used to talk about?"

Attend San Francisco Meet
Two Civil Engineering Depart
ment faculty, members gt Texas
AAM are attending a specialty
conference, “Civil Engineering in
the Oceans," this week In Sen
Francisco
Dr. John B. Herbich. head of
hydraulic engineering and fluid
mechanics and coastal engineer
ing divisions, and Dr. Lee Low
ery, assistant professor of civil
engineering, said the conference
is the first of iU type sponsored
by the American Society of Civil
Engineers.
Program topics include waves
and . response, coastal engineer
ing structures and foundations,
concepts and construction in
coastal and ocean engineering,
and undrrsea operations.
Dr. Herbich also will preseat a
paper during the 12th Congress
of Internstionsl Associations for

Scour at Bridge Abutments,"
deals with mechanics of scour
sround highway and railroad
bridge abutments and measures
to be taken to prevent bridge
failures during floods*
An elementary principal's
guide on non-graded schools to
be distributed aefoss Texas in
September is the result ef re
search conducted by Dr. Wil
liam H. Graves of Texas AAM.
The 34-page booklet covers
preparatory and organisational
procedures, how to involve staff,
working with parents, pupil
chararteriatics and reasons for
the non graded system.
“A nongraded school helps
children who need longer to
learn fundamentals. It does not
penalise with the stigma of fail
ure the child who starts off on
unequal footing," noted Graves.
Education and Psychology De
partment professor.
“At the same time, the teacher
is given more leeway with the
gifted student. His instruction
may be enriched without having
to cross grade line,” he contin
ued.
The publication became a joint
study of the Texas Elementary
Principals and Supervisors Asso
ciation (TEPSA) and the Texas
Education Agency, after Graves
originated research on the ef
fect of nongraded schools in Tex
as *t|dt>ugh a grant from the
