(Jack) Cowan are on display n the Memorial Student Center. The Contemporary Arts exhibit Kill be on view until Jan. 20, an nounced Committee Chairman Don Prycer of Edinburg. Cowan’s water color paintings feature authentically detailed scenes familiar to hunters and fishermen of the Southwest. The Pratt Institute Art School graduate is recognized for his ealistic style of painting and re markable attention to detail. Cowan’s realism derives in part from c 1 ose personal involvement with his subject matter while hunting and fishing. His work has illustrated “Life,” “Look,” “Sports Afield,” “Col lier’s,” “Fortune” and “Saturday Evening Post” magazines. Thirty Cowan paintings will go into “Golden Crescent,” a limited edi tion book on the Gulf Coast out doors by Houston Chronicle out doors editor Bob Brister to be (published next spring. FIRST BANK & TRUST—Home of the Super C D - 5% interest compounded daily. war that the Soviets have concen trated on since 1961 are world war, local war and wars of nation al liberation,” Warner said. “THE SOVIETS consider a world war as a global confronta tion between at least two conflict ing social systems. This definition has two simultaneous faces: nu clear exchange and large theater war.” Warner described nuclear ex change in the Soviet sense as being vague on the decisiveness to the outcome of the war in the necessity of using atomic weap ons. However, they give equal attention to launching retaliatory blows and protecting themselves, Large theater wars were ex plained by Warner as being ac tions such as moving a massive number of troops into Western Europe. In such an effort the Soviets depend on a combination of all military forces instead of emphasizing one system. “LOCAL WAR to the Soviets is a limited action between two or more powers,” said Warner. “It is less than a global scope and is inter-governmental.” Warner said there has been a shift in Soviet doctrine from dis belief in the impossibility of local wars. The Russians now are work- toward the capability to fight a controlled war. In their local war capabilities the Soviets have concentrated on contiguous local warfare and non contiguous. The contiguous aspect (in areas adjacent to the Soviet Union) involves mainly the plac ing of troops in Russian territory near Europe. “THE NON-contiguous aspect has been an area of dynamic Soviet development,” said Warner. “It covers the transporting of forces to an area, fighting when they get there, and even fighting their way into the area.” In wars of national liberation, the Russians believe that they are just and that “local wars are always started by imperialists. “The Soviets are pledged etern ally to the support of wars of national liberation with material and technical and advisory as sistance,” Warner said. “How ever, they refrain from direct participation of their troops be cause that would escalate the action to a local war.” THE SOVIETS pay 95 percent of their interest to the issue of world war and the role of nuclear weapons, he noted. However, they refuse to adopt openly the con cept of “flexible response.” Warner arrived on campus ap proximately 40 minutes late be cause of cancellation of his com mercial flight from Denver due to a snowstorm. In a last-minute attempt to salvage the presentation, a com mercial flight was chartered to bring Warner to A&M, according to Gregg Weaver of Midland, Great Issues committee member. “Bill Fuller, head of the Flying Kadets, had offered to charter a plane to fly the 1600-mile round trip flight, but a commercial pilot was used instead,” Weaver said. Voysey) have achieved a vivid micro-impression of a man which subtly skips and darts over ideas and events to sketch the spirit beneath,” wrote a “Newsweek” reviewer. The “By George” tour is an ex periment in educational relations of TRW, Inc., a major diversified manufacturer. TRW vice chair man Dr. Simon Ramo said the primary purpose of the tour is to extend the corporation’s dialog with U. S. college campuses and dramatize to students and faculty “that TRW is interested in and concerned with the cultural as pects of the society in which we live.” THE “By George” tour has been at MIT, Harvard, New York University and Columbia, among others. Adrian stars regularly in films, on television and at England’s National Theater and Royal Shakespeare Company. On the American stage he has been seen in “Candide,” “Mary Stuart,” “The Deadly Game” and “The Lesson.” Only a stage manager travels with Adrian on the tour. A&M arrangements supervised by Es ten will include house manage ment by Travis Miller of West Winfield, N. Y.; Melanie Haldas, Houston, and Lucy Bishop, Dick inson. The stage crew will include Rodger Kloppe, Houston; Bruce Larsen, Bryan, and Joe Don Woods, College Station. Aggie Players assistant director Bob Wenck will handle lights. Ex-FBI Agent To Aid TEES Police School The appointment of a recently retired Federal Bureau of Inves tigation special agent to form the nucleus of research for better police practices was announced Wednesday by Dean of Engineer ing Fred J. Benson. Frank M. Ivey of Houston, who has 21 years experience with the FBI, was named a research as sociate in the College of Engine ering’s Texas Engineering Ex periment Station. Benson said Ivey’s appointment, effective Jan. 27, is a part of “our effort to develop competence to deal with all facets of the ur ban problem. His work will be in practical human relations.” A&M maintains an active pol ice training division through the Engineering Extension Service. The division is headed by former police chief Ira Scott. Associate Dean Dr. Richard E. Wainerdi pointed out Ivey’s work also “will be in technological law enforcement research,” and that Ivey will help “chart out” techni cal, rather than sociological as pects of law enforcement. A native of Albemarle, N. C., Ivey, 50, attended public school in Savannah, Ga., including Arm strong Junior College. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Clemson A&M University. Following duty with the Army Chemical Warfare Service and a brief stint as a high school mathe matics and physics instructor, Ivey joined the FBI in 1947. He has served bureaus in New Jer sey, Pennsylvania and Tennessee, and has been with the Houston bureau since 1956. In October, 1966, Ivey assumed duties as a general police instruc tor for the federal bureau. He re tired December, 1968. Ivey and his wife, Elaine, havv two sons. Frank, Jr., 22, is a stu dent at the University of Texas Medical School, Galveston. John, 20, attends the University of Texas at Austin. WEATHER Friday—Partly cloudy. Easterly winds 10 to 15 mph.

BB &L Court Order Fails To Restrain Violence At SF State College SAN FRANCISCO <A>> — San Francisco State College was arm ed today with a court order ban ning picketing by striking teach ers. But the order did not cover the studtents. It was issued late Wednesday ★ ★ ★ Black Students Seize Building At Brandeis U. WALTHAM, Mass. (^—Dissi dent Negro students crippled the Brandeis University communica tions system Wednesday in a non violent bid for virtual autonomy in Negro affairs on campus. University President Morris B. Abram called the seizure of Ford Hall an affront to the university community. The faculty voted condemnation of the action and called on the approximately 70 Negroes to abandon their demon stration. The students answered by barri cading doors to the three-story red brick building. They said they had enough food stockpiled to last three days. Wednesday night Abram en tered Ford Hall for about 10 minutes to talk with the students. In a statement following the brief meeting, Abram said he “had no intentions of negotiating the demands under the present cir cumstances.” Negro men blocked entrances to the building which houses the university switchboard, faculty offices and an auditorium. They also barred doors to an adjacent building containing laboratories and the university computer. Abram said the last thing he wanted to do was to summon pol ice. The Negroes presented a list of 10 “non-negotiable” demands, in cluding: —Establishment of an African studies department with power to hire and fire and an independent budget. —Establishment of a year around recruitment of black stu dents by black students and head ed by a black director. —Immediate action on hiring of black professors. —Establishment of an Afro- American center to be designed by black students. Abram contended that the stu dents acted “without prior com plaint to the administration.” He said that lines of commu nications within Brandeis have “always been open and have been blocked only by the force em ployes by those who have seized the facilities. . . . “I can only express the deepest (See Black Students, Page 3) by Superior Court Judge Edward O’Day only hours after students and teachers had bombarded pol ice with stones, bottles, sticks and fireworks during a violent melee. AND ACTING President S. I. Hayakawa, his voice breaking and his hands shaking slightly, told newsmen for the first time since the strike began: “Attendance is not normal.” O’Day, acting on an application by state college trustees, tempor arily banned picketing and other strike action by the American Federation of Teachers, Local 1352, Trustees also seek unspeci fied damages. Wednesday’s violence came af ter the AFT, for the second straight day, lost control of the picket line and jeering, profanity shouting students took over. AFTER THE line had swelled to about 1,000, police moved about 12 men into the line to open a corridor to allow nonstrikers to enter the campus. SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES Waymon L.

Traffic was immediately backed up and street cars were brought to a standstill. During the confusion, a strik ing AFT member, Ron Daidle, 32, was knocked down and injured by a street car—an incident which seemed to trigger a barrage of rocks, bottles, two-by-four lum ber and fireworks at police. POLICE reinforcements were rushed from staging areas and their number swelled to about 150. iMounted police galloped into the lines of retreating students. Five persons were arrested then and police continued to pull student strike leaders from the picket line the remainder of the afternoon. Hayakawa said “striking fac ulty will soon eliminate them selves” if they fail to report to work for five days, which by law means they automatically resign. The teachers, besides support ing student demands, seek better pay, official recognition, more voice in campus policy and other demands. STUDENT strikers have 15 de mands, including autonomous Black Studies Department, liberal admission requirements for mi nority students, resignation of some school officials and amnesty for those facing discipline for strike activity. Hayakawa told a news confer ence the picket line was a “march ing circus” and added that “inter nally the campus functioned beau tifully. Of the college enrollment, about 2,000 are nonwhite and 836 are Negroes. The AFT claims to represent one - quarter of the school’s 1100 faculty. Members of the Brazos County Amateur Radio Emergency Corps, consisting mainly of A&M stu dents, will conduct a simulated emergency test of the Brazos County emergency plan on Jan. 25. “The plan will provide the Bry- an-College Station area with emergency facilities, in the event of a disaster that might damage or incapacitate normal communi cations,” said Franklin H. Perry, emergency coordinator of the American Radio Relay. The AREC is a group of ama teur radio operators who volun teer their time and radio stations so that the area will never be without communication because of failure of telephone, telegraph or power lines. The test, conducted nationally by the Amateur Radio Public Ser vice Corps, will emphasize coop eration with Red Cross chapters and civil defense agencies. Perry’s control station with call letters WA5RXO, is located at 202-D Spruce Street and will di rect all operations. If necessary, an alternate control station will be operated by David Hoffman, WA5SQT. A number of mobile short-range radio stations will be situated at strategic points around Bryan-College Station and a long-range fixed station will supply contact with distant points. Also, a mobile cruising unit will be operated by Jess Rhoden, WA5KXC. The local network will be tied in with the National Traf fic System for swift communica tion with points outside the local area. As a part of the test, partfei- pating amateurs will originate messages to their section emer gency coordinator and civil de fense directors will communicate with civil defense officials at the state and federal level. Red Cross chapter executive officers will re port by radio to area and national offices through the National Traf fic System and other facilities. The AREC is a part of the Na tional Amateur Radio Public Ser vice Corps. Other local operators participating are Ed Campbell, K5SQT; Brian Derx, WB2HEY/5; Steve Pearce, WN5UDV; and Gene Whitehurst, WA5GZX. Cooper, Weston Agree ‘Hot Poop’ System To Improve Several improvements in tele phone dial-an-announcement will •make for “better and more de pendable service,” Ed Cooper and Logan Weston jointly predicted recently. “We think it’s going to work much better and be more depend able,” said Cooper, director of civilian student activities. THE NEW communications system was initiated soon after the start of the fall semester. It is a part of the campus Centrex system. “All a student has to do is dial 845-6311” added Weston, YMCA general secretary. “He then gets the latest announcements.” Several changes have occurred since the program first got under way in the Student Program of fice located in the Memorial Stu dent Center. IT HAS BEEN moved to the Housing office in the YMCA Building. Major areas of interest —including the University Calen dar, Athletic Department, Corps Commandant’s office, civilian stu dent activities and student pro gram’s offices—are checked daily for items of interest, Weston pointed out. In addition, individuals and de partment personnel may call Wes ton’s office, 845-1626, and dictate news information between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., for recording. ONE REASON for relocating the recording instrument was to keep announcements current, Cooper said. “Announcements would get off late because the office was not open in the evening,” he noted. Recording is now done between 8 and 8:30 each night. Weston pointed out, too, that persons with messages can get them recorded if they call before 8 p.m. NEW announcements for the next day may be heard after 8:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday announce ments must be recorded Friday evening. However, a new record ing replaces the old one Sunday night for Monday announcements. “Monday announcements should be placed on Friday when pos sible,” Weston urged. COOPER SAID he felt the im proved service would be a “great help” to day students. “It is convenient for day stu dents to call at night and learn what is going on the next day,” he added. The system operates with 10 rotating lines to accommodate students and faculty-staff mem bers. Weston said the telephone com pany will soon place a monitoring device on the recording instru ment to help his office determine the number of persons using the service and peak periods. University National Bank "On the side of Texas A&M. —Adv. ‘Norwegian Wood ’InBonfire Garners Overseas Publicity The Aggie Bonfire is a well-known happening, even in Norway. The Dec. 23 edition of Yerdens Gang, an Oslo daily newspaper, carried an article concerning the Bonfire. The article was complete with a picture showing the Bonfire while construction on the second stack was underway. Headlined “About A Log’s Wondersome Travels,” the article referred to the log contributed to the Bonfire by the Texas Maritime Academy. The log, 30 feet long, was purchased by the TMA cadets in Oslo during their annual summer cruise. The article went on to report on the demise of the log at the pre-Turkey day rite, saying that “the bonfire was one of the biggest and wildest in all of Texas last year—and that’s saying something ..." The log was referred to as the “flagstaff in ‘sacrificial fire,’ indicating that the Norwegians thought that their log was used as the centerpole for the stack. Apparently the folks there don’t know how big things are really done in Texas.
