ing a unicameral system ? How
about changing the present num
ber of state representatives and
senators ?
What problems, if any, does the
Legislature have with the “con
flict of interest” principle abuse
of the loving privilege?
These are a few of the ques
tions to be pondered by top state
government, business, labor and
organizational leaders participa
ting in “Texas Assembly - 1967”
which begins Thursday at Texas
A&M.
The four-day meeting, jointly
sponsored by Texas A&M and
Columbia University’s American
Assembly, is one of IS seminars
scheduled throughout the nation
exploring the same subject, “State
Legislatures i n American Poli
tics.”
Lt. Gov. Preston Smith and
House Speaker Ben Barnes head
the list of participants serving
as “Texas Assembly” panelists.
Barnes and Smith also will make
keynote addresses Friday.
Other top state officials on the
agenda include Attorney General
Crawford Martin, Secrteary o f
State John Hill, State Senators
Ralph Hall, William T. Moore, A.
R. Schwartz and J. P. Word and
State Representatives R. H. Cory,
David Crews, Dewitt Hale, Gus
Mutscher and John Wright.
These state officials, along
with prominent residents from
throughout Texas, will be divided
into three “balanced” panels
which meet simultaneously and
delve into the same specific as
pects of the Texas Legislature.
Each panel will conduct three
sessions entitled “Improving the
Public Image and the Institution
al Performance of the Legisla
ture,” “The Organizational Struc
ture of the Legislature” and “The
Legislature: A Political Reap
praisal.”
In addition to serving as for
ums for different points of view,
a prime objective of the panel
discussions will be the recording
of the points on which all par
ticipants agree.
Other specific topics posed to
the panelists are:
What are the relative advan
tages of the “citizen” legislator
and “professional” legislator?
What changes, if any, should be
made in the committee system of
the Legislature ?
Should the Legislature hold an
nual sessions?
How should the Legislature re
act to the increasing amount of
interaction it is experiencing in
federal-state relationships and in
federal-state-local government re
lationships ?
What impact would the emer
gence of a two-party legislature
have upon its effectiveness ?

SACB Gets OK
From Senators
WASHINGTON. (^>_The Sen
ate passed a compromise bill
Monday to reactivate the Sub
versive Activities Control Board
as an agency to expose Commu
nist and Communist-front organ
izations.
The bill was passed by a 65-10
vote only after the adoption of
an amendment providing that the
SACB will have to handle some
cases within the next year or it
will cease to exist.
This compromise was approved
by a 74-2 vote. The Senate then
rejected, 58 to 17, an amendment
by Sen. Edard W. Brooke, R-
Mass., to abolish the board on
Jan. 1, 1968.
The SACB has been almost
wholly inactive in recent years
but it was projected into the
public eye earlier this year when
Simon McHugh Jr., a 29-year-old
accountant who married a former
White House secretary, was ap
pointed as a $26,000-a-year mem
ber of the board.
This caused a furor in Congress
and brought a move by Sen. Wil
liam Proxmire, D-Wis., to abolish
the agency.
Republican Leader Everett M.
Dirksen of Illinois led the fight
to reactivate the board, saying a
government agency is necessary
to expose Communist groups that
recruit members and solicit funds
under the cover of “fancy, high
sounding names.”
The SACB was created by the
1950 Internal Security Act but
was virtually put out of business
about two years ago by court
rulings that organizations it
found to be subversive could not
be required to register with the
Justice Department.
Air Force Major Joe H. Machetta (right), son of Mr. and
Mrs. Pete Machetta, Route 3, Henryetta, Okla., receives the
Bronze Star Medal during ceremonies at Ft. Rucker, Ala.
Sept. 26. The Award was presented by Colonel William C.
Edler, Assistant Chief of Staff for Operations at the fort.
Major Machetta is commander of the 16th Weather Squad
ron’s Detachment 9. He entered the Air Foirce in 1952 and
was last stationed in Vietnam. The major, whose wife,
Patricia, is with him at the fort, received a master of
science degree in 1965 from Texas A&M.
Helpful Aggies Coach Jr. High
Studies of 12 Texas A&M
physical education students take
them to a new classroom, the
practice fields of Bryan Public
School junior highs.
There the juniors and seniors
coach seventh and eighth grade
teams in an intra-city football
league designed to encourage par
ticipation by as many boys as
possible.
Coaching at Anson Jones Junior
High under Ronnie Fontonote are
John F. Liptak of Washington,
Pa.; William F. Huffsmith, Hous
ton; Thomas E. Osborn, Abilene,
and Richard W. Muehr, Weimar.
Lamar Junior High student
coaches are Michael L. Jenkins,
Wichita Falls; Melvin E. Dunlap,
San Antonio; William E. Bownds,
Houston, and Joel Barton III,
Calvert. They work under Lamar
staffers Bob Casey, Henry Bon-
orden, Harry Bond and Max Gren-
welge.
Haywood Peterson Jr. at Neal
Junior High has Dean Reding,
Amarillo; Jack R. Roden, Big
Spring; Tommy D. Tomlin, Tyler,
and Charles M. Philip, Bryan.
Tomlin, Muehr and Osborrt are
juniors; the others, seniors.
“It’s excellent training for our
“Dr. Klein, sir!
students and a service to the com
munity and kids,” explained Dr.
Carl W. Landiss, Health and
Physical Education Department
head.
Participation at the three
schools varies between 50 and 70
per cent. Thirteen teams field
about 300 youths.
“The program gives junior high
students who wouldn’t participate
otherwise a chance to play a com
petitive, directed team sport,”
noted Dr. Linus J. Dowell, depart
ment teacher education chairman.
Seventh and eighth grade teams
work out or play games five days
a week, near each school’s regular
ninth grade team. Seventh grade
games are on Tuesdays, eighth
Wednesdays.
Anson Jones assistant Carlos
Jackson says there are drawbacks
but the advantages make the
program beneficial.
“It’s good for the morale of
the boys,” he commented. “Every
body plays. The kids are at a
critical physical development
stage. The supervised activity
helps them.”
“Also, we might find a ‘sleeper’
who wouldn’t normally show in
the ninth grade program,” Jones
pointed out.
From the A&M student’s stand
point, the program offers an op
portunity to learn to organize
and work with groups of boys
at the 12 to 14 age level.
“They know the characteristics
of a boy at that age, but a group
of them is something else,” Jack-
son said.
“All the Aggies who come over
here know their stuff,” he went
on. “Their assistance is a big
factor in the success of our ath
letics.”
The arrangement is another ex
ample of A&M programs compli
menting Bryan and College Sta
tion efforts.

‘Agriculturalist’ To Be Picked Up
The latest issue of the Texas late spring or early summer dis-
A&M Agriculturist is now i*eady
to be picked up, says Eddie Ren-
barger, editor of the student mag
azine for 1967-68.
The Agricultui'ist, a magazine
written, edited, published, and cir
culated by students in the College
of Agriculture, will not be mailed
out this year, but students must
pick up copies in any of the agri
culture buildings on campus, Ren-
barger said.
“This issue was intended for
tribution, but because we com
bined two of last year’s issues
there was a delay in printing,” he
continued.
There is no additional charge
for the magazine as each student
paid his subscription during regis
tration.
The theory that all living things
are composed of cells was ad
vanced by Matthias Schleiden and
Theodor Schwann in 1839.
At Enjay we
like people
to ask direct
questions:
Knowing something about a company is one thing:
knowing enough about a company to help you make the
best career decision is quite another matter.
We find that the more people know about ENJAY, the more
enthusiastic they become about their potential with us.
Let’s look at what we make. Butyl rubber, for instance.
We invented it. And our products include plastics, fibers,
fuel additives, and many chemical raw materials.
Enjay products are, in turn, used in many of
the things you come in contact with every day:
aerosol products, textile fillers, tire inner tubes, packaging
film — even the finish on your car.
We’re an affiliate of Standard Oil Company,
(NJ.), and the domestic affiliate of
worldwide Esso Chemical Company.
We’re one of the nation’s top ten
chemical companies, and we’re
undergoing tremendous growth.
We have more than 5400 employees in 10 manufacturing
plants and 16 sales offices throughout the country.
That’s WHO Enjay is. It adds up to a company that can
offer your career just about everything it needs:
diversification, progressive management, the resources
required for continuous expansion, and the potential for
unusually fast professional growth.
