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.

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.

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. . . .

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.

‘Hams’ To Test Emergency Plan
For Brazos County Disasters
By JANIE WALLACE
Battalion Staff Writer
Officers herded strikers into
19th Avenue, a main thorough
fare. 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.

‘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.
