(Continued From Page 1)
Marcus Hill, sophomore Agri
culture representative, joined
Watson in opposing the measure,
with Hill commenting that “no
one else appreciates Aggies any
more than TWU girls do.”
Senate Vice-President David
Maddox favored the resolution,
but said he believes a student
referendum should be taken on a
matter like this.
“I said earlier that the motion
had no chance,” sighed Gosnell as
he called for a vote. “It’s obvi
ous the Senate is not progressive
enough to take action on this.”
“All speaker names are cur
rently submitted to the Execu
tive Committee,” said A1 Reinert,
junior geosciences representa
tive, as he presented a proposal
concerning the political speaker
policy at A&M. “I don’t think we
should be subject to their cen
sorship.”
Reinert then presented Phil
Kelly, sophomore history major,
who is working on a term paper
concerning political speakers at
A&M. Kelly said that he had
sent letters to seven govern
mental officials asking whether
or not they thought A&M’s state
and federal funds would be hurt
by allowing speakers from both
the left and right on the campus.
Record Number To Participate
In Production Of ‘Everyman’
KELLY READ letters from
Cong. Olin E. Teague and Lt.
Gov. Ben Barnes stating that the
men did not believe A&M funds
would be endangered by speak
ers. He noted that Teague said
he thought speakers from both
sides would be good, that both
sides have a proper place in the
educational process.
of “Everyman” will be staged by
the largest group of students
associated with a play this year.
Thirty-eight A&M students are
involved in the production of the
medieval moral allegory. It will
be presented May 5-10 and 14-17
at Guion Hall, Director C. K.
Esten announced.
Reinert presented a motion to
allow student organizations free
dom to choose their speakers,
subject to approval by the Mem
orial Student Center Council and
Directorate, or the Senate Exec
utive Committee.
Carter suggested that the Sen
ate wait until its next meeting
before acting, and give the ad
ministration a chance to present
its viewpoint, and the matter was
postponed until then.
In addition to the 16-member
“Everyman” cast, 22 students are
working in various crews.
Director Robert W. Wenck
noted many of the crew members
had parts in the previous three
major productions of 1968-69. He
said assistant director is Ann
Martin, junior education major
of Kaufman.

Garry Mauro, pass-fail com
mittee chairman, brought a plan
before the Senate that would
allow any student with over 30
credit hours to take pass-fail
courses. Under the plan, up to
16 hours not required in a stu
dent’s major could be taken,
with hours counting for gradu
ation but not on a student’s grade
point ratio.
CREW HEADS include Bruce
McKenty of Arlington, Va., pub
licity; Jerry O’Neal of Austin,
art and posters; Rodger Kloppe
of Houston, lights and James
Dennis of Houston, sets and
props. Tommy McAlister of Abi

Students wishing to take pass-
fail would be required to notify
the registrar within two weeks of
the beginning of class. Profes
sors would not be informed con
cerning who was on pass-fail in
his course and who wasn’t.
Air Force Maj. John A. Smith-
erman, a 1966 A&M graduate,
recently rode a hot rocket back
to a Vietnam air base.
The F4 Phantom jet he was
piloting over North Vietnam on
a night mission received a direct
hit by a 23-mm shell. Fire and
loss of the plane’s nose wheel,
brakes and tail hook resulted.
Mauro listed reasons in favor
of his plan, including findings
that students had a better atti
tude towards learning in pass-
fail courses, and that their per
formance seemed to be better.
“It was pretty well shot up,”
remarked the recipient of a
master’s degree in mathematics
here.
The major and the lieutenant
in the back seat of the plane de
cided to try to make it back to
Da Nang Air Base rather than
eject over enemy territory.
“We put out the fire in the
nose by flying up into thinner
air,” explained Major Smither-
man, whose wife is studying
architecture here. “We made it
back by flying the Phantom with
its trim controls.”
He has flown 160 combat mis
sions in his nine months in
Southeast Asia, 59 of them over
North Vietnam before the bomb
ing halt. Many of the missions
are flown at night and aircraft
often receive enemy fire within
five to 10 miles of Da Nang.
The major is from Winston
Salem, N. C. Mrs. Smitherman’s
parents reside at Hondo.

By MITTY C. PLUMMER
This “Graduate” might well be
my memoirs, since the next will
surely be my last and published
after new officers are elected.
I’ll try to explain some of the
things that the Graduate Student
Council did, and why, during the
past year.
One of the first things that
the Council produced was this
column. It was created as one
of my campaign promises and
intended to inform you of up
coming events. I have enjoyed
writing it and I hope that it has
been enjoyable as well as informa
tive reading.
In trying to look out for your,
and our, best interests, we tried
very hard to lift the burdens of
OASI (Social Security) and
Teachers’ Retirement withhold
ings from the graduate assistants’
paycheck. Due to the great weight
of the bureaucracy that sits in
ironclad legitimacy atop these
deductions, we were unable to
effect the removal of either of
them.
Another of our attempts to in
form you of what was happening
is the bi-annual newsletter the
Council publishes. For the past
two years, Wallace Migura has
handled this in fine style and
managed to add his own jovial
touch in the process.
WE EXPERIMENTED with a
new “Graduate Student Orienta
tion” program this fall and
spring. This meeting was to in
troduce Dean Kunze, the Council
members and you to one another.
It also gave Dr. Kunze an oppor
tunity to explain the require
ments of the Graduate College
for an advanced degree at a time
when questions could be answered
for a large number of people at
one time. This program will be
continued in the future.
The last mode of communica
tion that this Council used, also
new this year, proved to be the
most controversial. It was the
small handout distributed at the
second football game, encourag-
I have often wondered whether
demonstrating against such
things as this was more effective
than our own quiet inquiries. In
the case of OASI withholdings, I
finally found a good answer, since
U. of Houston students have
demonstrated against this tax.
I feel that we have retained the
friendship of Kelly Broach, Dean
Kunze and President Rudder in
our work with them, and that they
will continue to help us in any
way they can. I doubt that the
demonstrators can say the same.
★ ★ ★
We also wrote a rather good
little traffic proposal that we
submitted to Dean Hannigan. It
dealt with the tank traps, pro
posed a pedestrian mall between
the Academic Building and the
Library, and recommended,
among other good things, better
lighting for the interior of the
campus. I suppose a rape, murder,
or mugging will get lights for us
very suddenly one day. It is prob
able that such lights would then
lack the beauty and function that
could be given to them by a de
liberate, studied plan, rather than
the result of a hasty meeting of
emergencies which we’ll most
likely encounter some day. I don’t
know what will be required to
ing participation in the Twelfth
Man Tradition, lest the under
graduate-controlled Student Sen
ate do worse than they did us
in the seating for the third game.
YOUR cooperation at that time
helped form the spirit of coopera
tion that led to the creation of
the “consideration section,” even
though our five Student Senators
were unable to prevent the re
positioning of those willing to
stand from the 50-yard line. While
I sincerely regret the controversy
that this note stirred, I would do
it again, rather than have every
body imagining that some dark
force had, for no apparent reason,
wafted their seats away to the
north end zone.
resurrect the rest of the proposal.
THE COUNCIL has sent repre
sentatives to meet with members
of the library staff twice this
year. These meetings both were
enjoyable and produced a counsel
ing program by library division
heads on the use of library ma
terials, along with hopefully get
ting some arrangement for the
use of unfilled faculty study
carrels by graduate students.

To wrap up this year, we have
hired the K.C. Ballroom and a
band by the name of the Gypsy
Moth for a real good blowout

invited to come out in semiformal
attire for what has been described
in years past as “the best dance
I’ve ever been to.” Tickets are

THAT’S WHAT this council
has done. You’ve recently elected
seven new members to form a
new council to fight your fights
as a graduate student body next
year. I hope you will talk to them
and give them a chance to work
on your collective problems before
the little daily irritants get out
of hand. Your council members
can help, but they can’t be much
more helpful than the interplay
between you and them.
Meanwhile, council officer elec
tions are two weeks from today.
Then someone else will be the
new President of the Graduate
Student Council. And I, like the
man who was tarred, feathered,
and run out of town on a rail,
wouldn’t have cared much for it,
if it weren’t for the honor of the
thing.
