Cadets To Get Special Training
In Judo, Aikido, Karate Here
More than 100 Texas A&M ca
dets who face active military
duty soon will receive special
training next week in judo, aikido
and karate.
Self-defense measures will be
instructed by Air Force Capt.
Gibbs Dibrell, who holds a second
degree black belt in judo; Wilburn
Mohrmann of San Antonio, second
degree black belt, karate, and
Tin Mo of Rangoon, Burma, first
degree black belt, aikido.
“The most elementary self-de
fense methods available to these
systems will be taught,” explained
Dibrell, mathematics graduate
student who has been a sensei
(instructor) of A&B’s Judo Club.
Air Force Col. Vernon L. Head,
professor of aerospace studies and
Army Maj., Gerald J. Harber, as
sociate professor of military sci
ence, have approved the program.
Eight hours instruction in two-
hour sessions will be given in
judo club quarters, Room 253 of
the White Coliseum annex, Dib
rell added. He said 3-5 p.m. and
7-9 p.m. classes will be on Mon

“We’re hoping as many cadets

session to prevent overloading
the night group,” he said.
A&M cadets who will learn the
self-defense rudiments of judo,
karate and aikido will be com
missioned second lieutenants in
the Army and Air Force May 25

Dibrell termed the combination

and indicated various techniques
of kicking, striking, escaping an

over an assailant will be taught.
The Air Force officer, Mohr
mann and Mo, both chemistry
graduate students, are providing
the service free to senior cadets.

New Clothing Rules
Proposal Goes '***^r™*«°™ m—mm «
To Hannigan
For Approval
By BOB PALMER
Battalion Staff Writer
In its last official act, the
1967-68 Civilian Student Council
Thursday unanimously passed a
new set of clothing regulations.
The new regulations now go
to Dean of Students James P.
Hannigan, along with the results
of the April 24 clothing regula
tions poll, which Council Presi
dent Griff Venator considered a
mandate for change.
Dean Hannigan called the pro
posed regulations “possibly a very
workable solution.”
“I certainly consider it a basic
ally sound document,” he added.
The vote on the proposed regu
lations came in a special called
meeting of the council, 30 minutes
before it went out of office.
THE RESOLUTION had been
drafted by a committee appointed
at the last meeting of the council
when it had become deadlocked
over the wording of a new set
of regulations.
WASHINGTON <A>) — The
House voted Thursday to refuse
federal financial support to any
student who takes part in a cam
pus uprising that disrupts a col
lege’s operations.
It included the ban in a bill
that would extend for two more
years a $1 billion package of stu
dent aid programs that now
reach about 1.5 million students,
about 25 per cent of the total
college enrollment.
The decision as to whether a
student has been involved in a
campus demonstration would be
left to the college authorities un
der the provision.
With frequent references to
the uprisings that shut down Co
lumbia University and have
swept campuses across the na
tion, the House members over
whelmingly approved the provi
sion by a 306-54 roll call vote.
Final passage then came on a 348
to 5 vote.
The House also adopted amend
ments that would deny any of the
funds to students convicted of
crimes arising out of college
demonstrations or of inciting or
taking part in a riot.
The committe consisted of Ve
nator, CSC President-elect David
Wilks, Richard Holt, Joe Tijer
ina and James Brunjes.
“I am pleased that the council
has taken action on the clothing
regulations,” Venator commented
after the vote had been taken.
“I think these new regulations
are great,” Wilks said. “They in
clude about everything we wanted
to express.”
IN THE JOINT session, the
two councils passed a resolution
calling upon the administration
“to develop an intensified resi
dence hall program along the
guidelines developed at the Bu
chanan Dam Conference of March
1968.”
At the conference, a group of
seven civilian leaders discussed
various problems facing A&M and
developed a set of guidelines soon
to be released.
The implementation of these
guidelines would “foster the de
velopment and utilization of stu
dent leadership and the enrich
ment of civilian student life,”
the resolution read.
Dean Hannigan pointed out that
the resolution must follow of
ficial channels.

Following is the text of the
CSC resolution on clothing regu
lations:
Dress standards at Texas
A&M University are casual ex
cept for specified formal oc
casions. Slacks or jeans and
sport shirts are recommended
for men. For women, attire
which is in good taste and
suitable for class is suggested.
Wearing athletic jackets or
emblems from high schools or
other colleges, and shower
shoes are definitely not suit
able. Clothing and appearance
standards for Cadets are pre
scribed by the Commandant.
Civilian students will not wear
the Texas A&M Cadet uniform
at any time or place.
A student’s dress and groom
ing can reflect both pride in
himself and in his uniersity
community. The university be
lieves that most students are
mature enough to dress and
groom themselves appropriate
ly. Any disciplinary action
taken against a particular stu
dent as a result of his dress
and/or grooming will result
from the following procedure:
1. A special committee ap
pointed annually by the Civilian
Student Council President and
approved by the Council will
hear cases which involve dress
and/or grooming of specific
students.
2. Any student, faculty, or
staff member may ask for such
a hearing and must be present
at that hearing.
3. The committee will make
recommendations to the Dean
of Students based on its find
ings.
Arts Committee Chairman
Doesn H Fit Standard Image
By MIKE PLAKE
Battalion Features Editor
The standard image for the
chairman of a contemporary arts
committee, whose job it to “ex
pose students to all art forms,”
might be a bearded, sandaled art
ist, with aesthetic views and a
sensitive temperment.
Not that sandals or beards are
to be condemned. But it’s not
the case here.
MSC Contemporary Arts Chair
man Tom Ellis, a tall, gangly
architecture major from La Porte,
has no beard. He is a member
of the Corps of Cadets; sandals
are not part of his uniform.
Ellis has developed a standard
for his committee:
“We want to bring to A&M
students and faculty and citizens
of the College Station area a
familiarization with the arts,”
Ellis says.
“WE DEAL with four areas of
contemporary arts: plastic arts—
paintings and sculpture; literary
arts—writers and poets of today;
fine arts—performers, music bal
let, modern dance; and celluloid
arts, which, of course, are films.”
Under the auspices of co-chair
men Mark Schumann and Carlos
Almaguer, the film series sub
committee of the Contemporary
Arts committee will feature two
more movie attractions this se
mester.
“May 14, two award-winning
student films will be shown,”
Ellis said. “The films were made
by college students, and won top
awards in the second annual stu
dent film festival in New York
City this year.
“WE WILL show two movies,
each about 45 minutes long. Ad
mission for any of the contempo
rary arts film is 50 cents for
students, 75 cents for anyone
else,” he added.
Ellis said the last film this
year, “Mickey One,” will be shown
May 20. Both films will be shown
in the Memorial Student Center
ballroom.
“ ‘Mickey One’ is the story of a
’68-’69 Activities
To Be Scheduled
Tuesday In MSC
A scheduling session for 1968-
69 campus activities is set for
5 p.m. Tuesday in the Social Room
of the Memorial Student Center,
announced F. W. Hensel, coordi
nator of the Continuing Education
Office.
Hensel, whose office is responsi
ble for compiling the All-Univer
sity Calendar, urges staff and
student organization leaders or
sponsors to attend the one-hour
meeting and help avoid any
scheduling conflicts.
He said representation at the
meeting is particularly important
for groups planning weekend ac
tivities next year.
comedian who believes he is own
ed by the Mob,” Ellis said. “He
runs in fear until he learns he
can face the mob only when he
faces himself.
“It’s a fine film, starring War
ren Beatty, and directed by
Arthus Penn.”
MOVIES ARE not the only
area of artistic activity that the
committee covers, however. Three
other subcommittees, and their
chairmen, are Literary Arts —
Clint Machann; Fine Arts — Bob
Knox; Exhibits Committee—Jim
Mayeux. These subcommittees,
according to Ellis, “have tremen
dous potential.
A committee, especially one
that must rent films and paint
ings and uncover other areas of
contemporary art to bring to the
student, must have adequate
financing.
“Presently, we are concerned
with getting a budget of about
$8,000 for the various subcommit
tees approved, Ellis said.
Who selects the films and
brings ideas as to what particular
arts might raise the interest of
the A&M students?
“One way we do it is through
an idea banquet,” Ellis said. The
banquet this year will be at 6
p.m. May 23 in the Memorial
Student Cetiter.
