The vice president noted that the prizes offered at the event were donated by the Bryan-Col- lege Station business community. Homemade cookies and refresh ments will also be served. The council has set the en trance fee at 25 cents per child, but Berges said Apartment Coun cil activity cards will exempt holders from any fees for their children. The cards can be ob tained from council representa tives. The cards will also provide ad mission to the Civilian Weekend activities, as well as other sched- ulded events during the year, Berges said. ★ ★ ★ Soil Judging Team Competing in Lubbock The soil judging team is on its way to compete in the Regional Listen Up | Editor: I have received a few letters criticizing the sign we carried around the football field at half time during the TCU-A&M game. It seemed to be more offensive to your student body than we had intended. The flood of corps members onto the field testified to this. I am writing to assure your student body that we carried the sign only in a spirit of rivalry, which both schools experience during any SWC meeting on an athletic field. Carrying a sign around the field at halftime has been a tradition of our fraternity for years. We usually try to have a sign which will spark crowd reaction in an attempt to boost the sometimes waning spir it of our games. It seems that our pun aimed at the corps (which is often synonymous in many minds with the whole of A&M) produced a larger response than we antici pated. I would like to apologize to those students, exes, or other spectators who found the sign personally offensive. I hope, however, that this un fortunate incident does nothing to diminish the enthusiasm which makes collegiate athletics so exciting. The Southwest Conference will always be an arena for the hottest rivalries in collegiate athletics and the con tests between TCU and A&M will always be a part of that ex citement. Rick Wittcnbraker President, Sigma Alpha. Epsilon 4 Soil Judging Contest today and Friday in Lubbock. Coach J. F.

Situation Dangerous (Continued from Page 1) Garcia-Godoy Pastoriza family, Guillermo talks enthusiastically about the social life in the B-CS area. “Many people said that there are no girls in this area, but I disagree with those who said so. If you look for girls you find them,” he remarked. “I am glad I came to this uni versity because both the staff, the student body and the curricu lum are excellent,” he commented. “I have noticed that most of the students have a real desire and attitude for learning, instead of looking for troubles and creat ing embarrassing situations that go against the development of the educational programs,” he pointed out. Garcia-Godoy Pastoriza plans to go to graduate school. Com menting about his future plans, Garcia-Godoy said that he is not going to follow his father and grandfather in politics. They both were presidents of the Dominican Republic. “I will work with two uncles who are businessmen in the sec ond largest city of my country, Santiago,” he said, emphasizing his desire not to be involved di rectly in the national political affairs. More Open Dialog (Continued from Page 1) had its own faculty advisory council. Other committees in the local chapter are A, academic freedom and tenure; B, academic responsi bility and professional ethics; F, national organization member ship, and S, rights and freedoms of students. Earlier Hopkins gave the esti mated group of 40 of the chap ter’s 180 members a report on the status of the case of Dr. Leon W. Gibbs, professor of veterinary medicine, who was dismissed by the university in January after a hearing last fall. The university had charged Gibbs on nine counts of miscon duct in April, 1967, an action which resulted in censure by the national AAUP in the same month on charges that the univer sity had denied Gibbs academic due process. Hopkins, who based his report on correspondence with the na tional organization this fall, said that the AAUP, in reviewing the Gibbs affair, sees that much of the case centers on complex pro cedural problems. The AAUP, by letter, suggested that the national organization communicate directly with the administration to try to resolve some of these problems. Hopkins noted that this type of communication has not as yet taken place. He added that when he asked A&M President Earl Rudder what the local AAUP chapter could do for the univer sity this year, Rudder replied that they could try to get A&M off the censured list. The chapter president said the local group sent a letter to the AAUP asking that this be done, and the AAUP has replied that it “would like to do whatever is possible to remove the censure from A&M.” He noted that censure is usual ly lifted only with the approval of the majority of the AAUP members attending the organiza tion’s annual convention. Hopkins added that correspondence is continuing. Cbe Battalion Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.
