Ft. Hood Soldier
Faces Army Court
LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y. 11101
The trial of a soldier charged
with refusing an officer’s order
during a demonstration protest
ing possible Chicago riot duty
continued Wednesday into the
night hours.
Pfc. Oscar Taylor of New York
City was one of 60 soldiers at
this Central Texas Army post
who gathered in a demonstra
tion about midnight Aug. 23 in
anticipation of being sent to Chi
cago during the Democratic Na
tional Convention, an Army
spokesman said.
When military police officers
arrived at the scene, 17 of ^the
men dispersed. Taylor was one
of 43 who remained and refused
to obey an officer’s order to
leave the area, the Army has
charged.
Military prosecutors failed to
get a conviction last month in
the trial of the first case. Taylor
is the second to be tried. One of
the 43 was not charged.
The spokesman said all of the
soldiers are Negroes. Some 26
of the men reportedly are Viet
nam veterans.
The men are all charged with
refusing the direct order of a
commissioned officer. They are
being tried under a special court
martial — the second most seri
ous convened by the Army.
During the protest, the men
were orderly and no violence oc
curred, the Army spokesman
said. He said they were escorted
to the stockade after a prolonged
discussion with military police
men at the intersection.
At the time of the protest, no
order had been issued to send
the men to Chicago to aid in the
control of any disorders related
to the convention, the spokesman
said.
AUSTIN, Tex. (A>)—University
of Texas regents are expected to
authorize a study Friday that
will look into the friction between
the state-supported and the pri
vate schools in the Southwest
Conference.
Frank C. Erwin Jr., chairman
of the university regents, said
Wednesday the board would con
sider a motion to reactivate a
special regents committee for
study of the university’s own in
tercollegiate athletic program
and its relationship to the South
west Conference.
“We will discuss this matter
only in relation to our own prob
lems,” Erwin said. “Any specu
lation as to Texas-Austin’s fu
ture in the Southwest Conference
is certainly premature at this
time.”
“Erwin’s comment followed
publication of a story by the Dal
las Times Herald which quoted
a highly-placed source on the
board as saying such a study
could have “upheaval results.”
The Times Herald article said
the study could result in revival
of proposals for a “super confer
ence” to include Texas-Austin,
Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and
Arkansas with Oklahoma, Louis
iana State and the University of
Houston. Presently, the four
state-supported schools are in
the Southwest Conference with
four private schools — Southern
Methodist, Texas Christian, Bay
lor and Rice.
Erwin’s statement made no
reference to conflict within the
Southwest Conference but other
sources pointed out that confer
ence votes on many issues are
split 4-4 and 5-3. These sources
point out that Rice, TCU, SMU
and Baylor have much smaller
student bodies and smaller ath
letic budgets, particularly the
three church schools.
The Times Herald story said
football scholarships are much
more costly at Rice, Baylor, SMU
and TCU and these schools would
like to limit scholarships. Texas-
Austin feels the limitations
would make the state-supported
schools less competitive on the
national scene.
