Ags Find ‘Gold’
In Summer Work
Summer work is taken where
it can be found by college stu
dents. Several Texas A&M stu
dents joined, an exodus to the
nation’s newest frontier for lu
crative jobs during the past year.
Alaska’s gold shows in differ
ent forms.
Art Stites of Waco hauled it
in while on a salmon boat and
Charles R. (Chick) Glagola of
Pensacola, Fla., found it on a
pipeline barge.
“It’s a great way to spend a
vacation,” they concur, and cite
other cases. A Rice football play
er also worked in the land of the
midnight sun and Stites noted
another Aggie, Mike Hubbard of
Dallas, spent the summer fight
ing fires farther north.
Several A&M gridders spent
their 1967 vacation in the 49th
of the 50 states.
STITES SAYS the experience
can be rewarding if a student
goes with the proper attitude.
“The idea is to have enough
money along for return fare and

to see through to a job opening,”
the senior sociology major re
marked. “Then even if some work
doesn’t pan out, the student can
have a good time.”
The Mertzon high graduate de
layed his departure until af
ter Army R O T C summer camp.
Though Stites got in only three
weeks fishing, he made enough
to cover school year expenses.
Previous experience aided him
however. He fished out of an
Indian village the summer of
1966 and located on a good boat
in 1967, the best fishing season
since 1936. Stites’ brother also
fished out of Ketchikan and his
father, a Baylor graduate, teach
es in a Kenai community college.
GLAGOLA, A senior civil en
gineering major, anchored his job
as a welder’s helper through
Brown and Root. He worked in
Anchorage a month, driving a
truck all over the Kenai Penin
sula, and spent the rest of the
summer on a pipeline barge in
the Cook Inlet.
Work consisted of laying 13
miles of dual 10-inch oil lines
to an offshore drilling platform
in the Inlet. On the same barge
was Bob Hickel, son of Alaska
Governor Walter J. Hickel.
“We slept on a separate barge
anchored about a mile away. The
only problem in the work was
allowing for 30-foot tides,” he
said.
A former parachute club mem
ber with 13 jumps, Glagola has
worked in West Virginia, Michi
gan, Kentucky and New Hamp
shire.
“The greatest thrill was flying
up and back to Seattle,” Chick
recalled. “The glaciers and snow-
covered mountains are a beautiful
sight, from the air.”
“Alaska’s fine, but North Flor
ida is about as far north as I
ever want to go again,” he added.

Texas U. Professor Caroline
Rejected By Administration
WrEcK TeCh!
AUSTIN (dP) — Fellow faculty
members opened the door to Larry
Caroline Tuesday, but University
of Texas administrators slammed
it shut again.
The philosophy department’s
budget council, which voted last
spring not to recommend an ex
tension of Caroline’s contract,
decided 7-4 Tuesday to recon
sider the case, then voted 6-5 to
recommend a one-year extension,
beginning next September.
The chairman of the philosophy
department. Dr. Irwin C. Lieb,
disagreed with the majority. Lieb
told arts and sciences Dean John
Silber he voted against the ex
tension and would resign his
chairmanship since he was un
able to go with the majority.
Silber said, in a letter, that
would not be necessary, that he
would accept Lieb’s recommenda
tion not to extend Caroline’s con
tract.
Silber forwarded the letter to
university President Norman
Hackerman. He said Hackerman
could overrule him and take the
case to the board of regents, but
he did not think Hackerman
would do that.
Hackerman said: “I see no
reason to overrule him.” He de
ferred making his decision of
ficial until he got to read the

Presumably, this ends the of
ficial discussion on Caroline’s
contract. The board of regents
in June accepted the council’s
original recommendation for no
extension, saying the decision was
“in all things ratified and made
final.”
Caroline called for a new
American revolution at an anti
war demonstration on the Capitol
grounds last October. Since then,
he has advocated pre-marital sex
and a propertyless society.
His original two-year contract
expires next May.
WASHINGTON <A>) _ Senate-
House conferees agreed Tuesday
on a bill to prohibit interstate
mail order sale of all firearms
and ammunition.
The compromise measure also
includes a general ban on over-
the-counter sale of firearms to
non-residents of a state and pro
hibits sales of rifles and shot
guns to persons under 18 years
of age. Persons under 21 already
are banned from buying hand
guns.
Sen. Thomas J. Dodd, D-Conn.,
chief Senate sponsor of the legis
lation, hailed the compromise as
“a milestone.”
And Rep. Emanuel Celler, D-
N.Y., chairman of the House con
ferees, called it a thorough-going
and comprehensive gun control
measure.
For the most part, the con
ferees took the strongest pro
visions of the separate bills pre
viously passed by the Senate and
the House.
The measure supplements a
section of the Omnibus Crime
Control and Safe Streets Act
passed earlier in the year ban.
ning interstate mail order sales
of handguns.
It extends this ban to rifles
and shotguns and also covers
sales of all kinds of ammunition
Besides the prohibition on in.
terstate mail order sales, the
bill regulates sales of firearms
by mail within a state by pro.
viding for a seven-day waiting
period and the filing of an affi
davit of eligibility by the pur
chaser.
Over-the-counter sales to non.
residents would be prohibited!
except that a person could buj
a long gun in an adjoining stats
if he qualified under the laws
of both states.
The measure would become ef
fective on Dec. 16, the same dats
as the section of the crime con
trol bill curbing handgun sales.
One exception is that a ban oi
imports of all surplus military
weapons would be effective inr
mediately upon enactment.
Senators Favor Stop Of Bombing
But Disagree On Terms Of Halt
Professor Named
To Assist Dean
Associate English Professor
Harry L. Kidd, a member of the
faculty the past 29 years, has
been named assistant to Gradu
ate Dean George W. Kunze.
Dean Kunze said Kidd will de
vote half his time to Graduate
College activities while continu
ing to teach English.
Kidd, who received his bache
lor’s and master’s degrees from
the University of Texas, joined
the A&M faculty in the fall of
1939 as an English instructor.
In conjunction with his teach
ing career, he has written several
short stories which have been
published in national magazines.
WASHINGTON (A 5 )—Although
their terms vary widely, at least
half of the U. S. senators say
they favor some plan to end all
American bombing raids on North
Vietnamese territory.
Included in this group are 3
Republicans and 24 Democrats
who say they want the bombing
ended unconditionally, at least
as an experiment to test the
reaction and sincerity of the Ha
noi regime. Eleven of these sena
tors are seeking re-election this
year.
Their position is opposed
strongly by 18 senators—10 Re
publicans and 8 Democrats—who
say they are against what one
of their number terms “lifting
the umbrella” of air support over
U. S. combat troops in the field.
Twenty-three of the 85 senators
reached in an Associated Press
survey said they favor a halt—
but only if North Vietnam re
sponded with reciprocal action
that appeared to offer chances
either for de-escalation of the
war or compromise at the bar
gaining table in Paris. This group
includes 16 Democrats and 7 Re
publicans.
All of those reached were asked
if, and under what terras the;
could endorse a bombing halt-
unconditionally or based on re
ciprocal Hanoi response.
Seventeen declined to comment
The survey was conducted ii
the days following Vice President
Hubert H. Humphrey’s Sept. 21
campaign speech in which he sail
that as president he would con
sider a bombing halt “an accept
able risk for peace” and would,
in deciding whether to take thi
action, “place key importance on
evidence—direct or indirect, by
deed or word—of Communist will
ingness to restore the demilitar
ized zone between North ani
South Vietnam.”
