Page 2 College Station, Texas Thunsday, October 2, 1969 THE BATTALION ON OTHER CAMPUSES By Monty Stanley The SDS from SMU has dis banded said the SDS co-chair man, in a report in the Daily Campus, “Although we haven’t been forced into disbanding, we have been banned in the student’s mind because the name ‘SDS’ has bad connotations, especially on an ultra-conservative campus like SMU.” The organization is being im mediately replaced by another somewhat similar group, but one which has a different slant in its orientation and a different ap- . proach, a much more interesting * one, to obtain its goals. The repre sentative from this new organi zation, the Youth Internat ional Peace Party, had this to say about their direction: “We’re going to try to get away from issues such as student pow er, visitation rights, and liquor which we got involved with last year and turn to more important things such as ROTC, racism, Vietnam, and the black-white problem in Dallas.” Another area mentioned was ecology, man’s re lationship to his planet, in par ticular the problems presented by water and air pollution, and in secticides. Completely opposed to “this violent confrontation thing,” the group will utilize milder meth ods. “Guerilla theatre, a make up of spontaneous plays that in clude the audience, would be un announced and unpredictable,” was the remark describing one such tactic. Also proposed was a bureau of speakers to tour the dorms and a draft counseling service. ★ ★ ★ Good news. Howard Payne Col lege is safe. The president of this small school in Brownwood, in a Founders Day speech, pledged that he under no circumstances would “give the inheritance of this institution to the barbarians.” ★ ★ ★ The KK’s at Texas Tech are busy men. Since Sept. 11, they have arrested 22 men on charges of homosexuality. Non-students were officially charged at the Lubbock Police Department, while student suspects were disciplined through Tech’s Student Affairs Office. Of approximately eight of the men who were students, all but two were expelled. Ob viously, anyone who is a homo sexual has no business in the field of higher education, huh ? Get rid of them preverts, I al ways say. ★ ★ ★ The Afro-Americans for Black Liberation (AABL), so much in the news last spring at the Uni versity of Houston, have moved their operations off campus. The reason, stated by chairman Dwight Allen, is that the AABL has evolved from a campus-ori ented group to a black commu nity organization. Said Allen, “It is because of this growing con cern about our own community that we have decided to base our organization off-campus from now on.” ★★★ Newest student organization at the University of Southern Lou isiana is a thing called the Food and Wines Club. It sounds all right, too, considering that it will be set up primarily to explain the various technical aspects of enology. That’s wine - making, for all you non-connoisseurs who probably have thought people serving you wine were just hand ing you some exceptionally bad, flat Pearl. ★★★ At the enormously populated Austin campus of the University of Texas, a new concept has been embodied in the construction of a student complex called Jester Center. The most remarkable as pect of this complex, which in cludes a 14-level dormitory for women and a 10-level dorm for men is the inclusion of “academic facilities within a dormitory en vironment.” Included in the aca demic section of the center are “classrooms, seminar areas, lan guage labs, faculty offices, a 400- seat auditorium equipped with modern audio-visual teaching de vices, and a library reading room.” The idea is to create a small-college type of environment for the residents—mainly fresh men—to minimize for the young er student the problems of size in a large university. Campus Briefs W. B. Clements Dies; Funeral Today Funeral services for William Bishop Clements, former Texas A&M information director who died Monday, were conducted to day in Harlingen. Clements, 73, was information director here 14 years prior to his retirement in 1961. Following retirement, he re turned to his native Harlingen, where he died in a hospital. ★ ★ ★ ‘To Dio in Madrid’ Scheduled Friday “To Die in Madrid,” a docu mentation of the Spanish Civil War, will be shown at 8 p.m. Friday in the ballroom of the memorial Student Center. One of a series of interna tional films in the Contemporary Arts committee’s “Fall Festival of Film,” the movie has been ac claimed by critics as “incredibly photographed, beautifully spok en .. . not an easy experience but certainly a beautiful and un forgettable one.” ★ ★ ★ Young Republicans To Meet Monday J. L. Lowe, chairman of the Texas Young Republican College Clubs, will speak on the organiz ation of the Young Republicans RADIO AND TV REPAIRS MOTOROLA TELEVISIONS ZENITH RADIOS & PHONOS KEN’S RADIO AND TV 303 W. 26th 822-5023 Monday night at 8 p.m. in the United Campus Christian Fel lowship Building at North Gate. ★ ★ ★ Bryan Building & Loan Awards A&M $500 Bryan Building & Loan Associ ation has awarded the university a $500 unrestricted grant. BB&L President Sam Sharp presented the gift during in formal ceremonies in the office of A&M President Earl Rudder. Rudder said the grant will be incorporated into the university’s Institutional Development Fund. The Bryan financial firm began an annual gift program to Texas A&M five years ago. ★ ★ ★ Churchmen to Speak On ‘Today’s Prophet’ Joseph G. Heard of Miami will speak on “Today’s Prophet” at 2 p.m. Saturday in the Architecture Auditorium in a lecture spon sored by the Christian Science Organization. Mr. Heard, an attorney, left his law career in 1952 to enter the public healing ministry of Christian Science. He has been active in youth activities of the First Church of Christ Scientist in Boston for a number of years. He is a former Navy chaplain and has traveled extensively. ★ ★ ★ Football Game Ushers To Organize Tuesday Ushers for home football games will organize Tuesday an nounced Les Palmer, head usher. The health and physical edu cation professor said the 5 p.m. meeting will be in Room 232 of G. R. White Coliseum. Persons interested in the work for the Oct. 25, Nov. 8 and 27 games should be present. Listen Up | Editor: I have only one question. Have College Station and Texas A&M University ever heard of an ob scure, obsolete idea called the minimum wage ? This is the only place I know of where you can do yard work (with your own tools) for $0.75 per hour, work in a grocery store for $1.25 per hour, or do construction work or similar hard work for $1.50 per hour. Besides a legal commission, we students need a Better Business Bureau of our own. Many stu dents need to work part-time to help pay their way through col lege, but should not the time spent working be at least worth the effort? I know that the university has a graduated system to raise the on-campus wages to $1.40 per hour, but this system has one drawback. By the time the on- campus wage reaches $1.40 per hour, the minimum wage will have been raised to $1.60 per hour. It does not matter though, because the minimum wage off- campus in this area will not be set anywhere near $1.60 per hour. Surely, there must be some way that the students and the univer sity can cooperate to encourage fair wages in this area. Thank you. John C.
