Trouble Continues
Students Gain Concessions
NEW YORK (iP)—Concessions
by school administrators lulled
student unrest on some U. S.
campuses Wednesday, but con
tinuing demonstrations elsewhere
were marked by a hardening at
titude on both sides.
An attorney representing 11
students, alumni and faculty
members of New York’s troubled
Columbia University asked for a
federal court injunction to halt
disciplinary action arising from
recent campus disorders. The
petition also sought to prevent
further action by city police who
last week forcibly removed sit-in
demonstrators from a number of
school buildings.
THE UNIVERSITY threatened
legal action against any persons
who make public documents al
leged to have been taken from
the office of Columbia President
Grayson Kirk by demonstrators
protesting the use of city park
land as the site of a proposed
new gymnasium.
Columbia has an enrollment of
approximately 25,000. The dis
orders began April 23.
Administrative employees of
Stanford University in California
returned to their desks despite
a continuing sit-in by 400 students
who remained for the third day
in a building which houses the
offices of the registrar, admis
sions personnel and the dean of
men.
The Stanford students ai'e pro
testing the suspension of seven
colleagues who demonstrated last
November against campus re
cruiting by the Central Intelli
gence Agency.
Stanford’s enrollment is about
10,000.

Cheyney State College, a pre
dominantly Negro school in Penn
sylvania with an enrollment of
1,800, but 200 students stayed
for the third day inside a bar
ricaded administration building.
The demonstrators are demanding
“a better curriculum, a better
faculty and a better system of
finances.”
In Wichita, Kan., half a dozen
of 18 Negroes expelled from high
school a month ago for disciplin
ary reasons were turned away
when they attempted to return
to classes without permission of
school officials. They left quietly
despite an earlier assertion by a
spokesman that they would re
enter school even if threatened
with arrest.
AT ROOSEVELT University, a
Chicago school of 4,700, seven
students circled by about 50 sym
pathizers began a sit-in in the
anteroom of the school president,
protesting the administration’s;
refusal to provide a full-time
job for Prof. Staughton R. Lynd.
Lynd, a former Yale University
faculty member who defied the
U. S. State Department by travel
ing to North Vietnam and Red
China in 1965, is on the faculty
of Chicago State College and
teaches at Roosevelt part time.
Two Students
Win Contest
Possum Kingdom For Papers
Holds Muster
Aggie Muster at a Possum
Kingdom Lake camp is more,
than a gathering of Texas A&M
exes and students to honor Aggies
who died in the last year.
Like many musters on the date
of the state’s independence, it’s
the only meeting of the year for
Aggie exes in Throckmorton,
Stephens, Young, Eastland and
Shackelford counties.
It’s an eating meeting that
often lasts six or more hours.
Barbecue and the trimmings,
speakers and discussion covering
developments at the alma mater
over the past year command pro
ceedings.
The George D. Dickie Jr. Club
performs one other function be
fore the Pitcock Camp muster
breaks up. Members and guests,
usually numbering 60 to 80, con
tribute to their scholarship fund.
The club named for a 1946 A&M
graduate supports four students
from the five-county area a year.
“WE RECEIVED a whole fist
ful of checks from the George D.
Dickie Jr. club this year,” com
mented Dorsey McCrory, A&M
development director.
The $825.50 total for 46 checks
and two cash contributions easily
surpass the club’s previous top
year.
“It’s a remarkable and unique
thing,” McCrory added.
Opportunity Award Scholar
ships made possible by the club
are held by David W. Harrell of
Albany, a junior agricultural edu
cation major; William D. Fisher
of Rising Star, sophomore in in
dustrial distribution, and Mat
thew W. Oualline Jr. of Olney,
junior architecture major, accord
ing to Robert M. Logan, student
aid director at A&M who admin
isters the awards along with
hundreds of others.
VETERINARIAN and rancher
Dr. Richard Hodges of Ranger,
club president, said it’s usually
difficult for all Aggies in the
4,500 square mile area to make
it to Possum Kingdom annually.
“We used to rotate muster
through each county, but the Pit-
cock brothers of Graham donated
their camp for the purpose. So
rather than have someone unsure
of where the meeting will be, we
are staying with Pitcock Camp,”
Hodges said. J. Duff Pitcock, a
1947 A&M graduate, is owner-
general manager of Pitcock
Brothers Concrete.
The club, the only one of several
hundred in the state that is
named for an individual, estab
lished the scholarship fund in
honor of George D. Dickie Jr.,
bound to a wheel chair by polio.
The 1946 Aggie graduate in
agricultural economics handles
club secretarial chores and owns
Woodson Lumber Co.
He’s only one of three Dickie’s
at the annual meeting. His father
is a 1920 A&M graduate in agri
culture and a cousin, Hugh
Dickie Jr., was a pre-veterinary
medicine major in the class of
1944.
Former Cincinnati Reds catch
er Jim Coker, who married a
Throckmorton girl, was speaker
for the April 20 muster meeting.
Other musters will be called to
order April 21 in years hence,
but the George D. Dickie Jr. A&M
Club will have a tough time top
ping the 1968 meeting.

At three other schools officials
cooled off their campuses by
granting a number of student
demands.
Wellesley Mass., College, which
has 1,750 girl students, including
24 Negroes, agreed to admit an
additional 20 Negroes for the
term beginning next September.
A Negro student organization
had threatened a hunger strike
unless more black undergraduates
were enrolled.
Foz'd Griggs of Bryan and John
Alderman of San Antonio were

Alderman, a petroleum engine
ering graduate student whi is
also graduating this month, took
second in the graduate division
for a $25 prize check and five vol
umes of “Transactions.” Alder
man’s “A Laboratory Study of
Oil Recovery by In-Situ Com

ter” took one of the three top
places with papers from the Uni
versity of Texas, Austin, and U of
H.
Griggs will begin work for
Phillips 66 at Odessa in June,
and Alderman is situated with

Engineering Department.
A man and his wife who went
to elementary, high school and
college together will receive
graduate degrees at Texas
A&M’s spring commencement
May 25.
John and Wanda Badgett of
Port Arthur will acquire the
Ph.D. and master’s degrees in
education, respectively, and join
the same faculty next Septem
ber at Slippery Rock State Col
lege, Pa.
MR. AND MRS. nine years, the
Badgetts received their bachelor
degrees at Lamar Tech. They
have across-the-hall offices in
the Education Department and
both specialize in elementary
education.
“We didn’t really plan it this
way,” explained Wanda, a read
ing clinician and consultant in
the Psychological Services Lab
oratory. A delay for college
credit transfer moved her gradu
ation date to that of John, who
completed work for his doctorate
in curriculum and instruction in
mid-April.
His will be the tenth Ph.D.
granted through the depart
ment’s doctoral programs. The
30-year-old educator has accept

Air Pollution Test
For B-CS Area
To Begin May 16
Bryan and College Station will
have its air tested for pollution
May 16.
The twin cities didn’t request
the service. Instead, the project
will be an experiment to deter
mine if a helicopter is suitable
for making such tests.
A whirlybird out of Houston,
loaded with instruments from
the Texas A&M University Plant
Sciences and Meteorology De
partments, will fly over the area
most of the day and sniff and
measure any atmospheric impur
ities that happen to be present.
Dr. Howard G. Applegate of
the Plant Sciences Department
said if the helicopter does its
job in an efficient manner, it
will be used in Houston where
there is no scarcity of smog.
He said he expects to find
Bryan-College Station air rela
tively clean, although the instru
ments will likely tattle on carbon
monoxide from automobiles and
possibly a few contaminants
from local industries.
Aboard the helicopter will be
graduate students from the Plant
Sciences and Meteorology De
partments, plus Lane Durrant of
Bryan. Durrant is a Stephen F.
Austin High School senior, an
FFA member, and works part
time in a plant sciences labora
tory at A&M.
