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.

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.
