CADET SLOUCH

ing the guards!”
Revised Directory
Now Available
Revised student sections of the
1969-70 Texas A&M University
Directory will be available Fri
day, announced University In
formation Director Jim Lindsey.
Lindsey said the supplements
will be issued free of charge to
persons presenting coupons
printed on Page 175 of the basic
directory.
The coupons can be redeemed
at the Student Publications De
partment in the Services Build
ing or the Exchange Store.
Lindsey emphasized the re
vised student section is not for
sale independently. It can only
be purchased in conjunction with
the basic directory, which is still
available, he explained.
Listings in the revised section
reflect late enrollments and
changes in residence hall room
assignments, Lindsey noted.

Laundry Bundle
Change Announced
A change in the A&M Laun
dry’s bundle policy will allow the
substitution of fatigue jackets of
Cadet Corps members or labora
tory coats of veterinary students
for regular shirts.
Howard Perry, director of civil
ian student activities, said the
policy change, approved by the
University Laundry Committee,
will allow two lab coats or two
fatigue jackets to be sent at no
extra charge; or a combination
of one lab or fatigue jacket and
two shirts; or five shirts and no
jackets.
Any excess of shirts or jack
ets, Perry said, will be charged
at 10 cents per shirt and 25 cents
per jacket, using the least expen
sive item for the excess charge.
Perry said the change was
made because the two items are
required for certain areas of in
struction.

Dr. Timm Receives
TFB Service Award
Dr. Tyrus R. Timm, head of
the Agricultural Economics and
Sociology Department, was pre
sented the Texas Farm Bureau
Distinguished Service Award
during a recent TFB Convention
in San Antonio.
The highest honor given by the
Texas Farm Bureau, the award
has been presented to only four
previous recipients during the en
tire 36-year history of the state
farm organization.
Tim is in charge of all resident
instruction, research and Exten

partment. He received his BS and
MS degrees at Texas A&M and a
doctorate in public administration
at Harvard University. He has
also done graduate work at Iowa
State University.
Sidney Dean of Victoria, TFB
president, said Timm’s contribu
tions to education and agriculture
have earned him more than 13
major awards and honors. He has
contributed 25 articles to popular
and technical publications.
ON OTHER CAMPUSES imi R Wve .
1 Keen Licked
By Monty Stanley
University of Texas students
last week voted in a referendum
on whether or not non-students
will be allowed to use Texas
Union facilities in the future. The
necessity for the decision came
about a little over a week ago,
after it had been announced that
the Union cafeteria, the Chuck
Wagon, would be open only to
TU students, faculty, and guests
accompanying them. The student
day manager stood at the en
trance of the restaurant checking
identification, and was pushed
aside by one entering patron, a
former student, who had none.
When asked to leave, he refused.
He then resisted the campus se
curity police when they arrived,
and finally two additional officers
were called in to help arrest the
man.
Students’ opin
ions on the mat
ter varied from
one extreme to
the other. Some
felt that it was
about time they
did something
about the problem which helped
overcrowding in the place, while
others felt that since the univer
sity affects the city and is sup
ported by the state, anyone should
have a right to come there.
Among those who were refused
service were several Texas exes,
who even presented their Ex-Stu
dents’ Association cards but were
still denied admission.
The Student Assembly at TU
appropriated $150 which it gave
to the Student Mobilization Com
mittee for advertising in the Dai-
Black Students

tion three times within the last
year, “is identical to the name of
the group that at this time has
fallen into disrepute nationally,”
according to Hannigan.
He cited as an example the
1963 riots at Columbia University
in which a group called the Afro-
American Society took part.
There was also a local incident
last December, Hannigan noted,
in which Terry Lewis Ardery,
identified as a Houston worker
for the Student Non-violent Co
ordinating Committee (SNCC),
was arrested for carrying a pistol
on licensed premises.
“The main argument for recog
nition of such a group,” Hannigan
said, “would likely be that an on-
campus club could assist new
black students in adjusting to a
predominantly white campus.”
He noted that the university
policy on recognition of campus
organizations has always ex
cluded clubs of ethnic, religious,
or political nature.
Hannigan said that he favors
the Black Student Committee over
the Afro-American Society be
cause it encourages desegregation.
Referring to other universities
which have no restrictions on
campus organizations — such as
the University of Texas—he con
tended that the Afro-American
Society tends to segregate the
black student body from the rest
of the school population.
Hopefully, agreed Hannigan
and Perry, a new Committee on
Black Student Affairs can iron
out the rough spots in communi
cating complaints against the ad
ministration and perhaps even
enhance the relationships among
A&M black students.

At the University of Florida,
only 471 students, or slightly
more than two percent of the
total enrollment of 21,000 for the
fall quarter, have elected to take
courses on a pass-fail basis. The
light turnout, according to the
Florida Alligator, was not unex
pected, as there has never been
over three to five percent partici
pation in the program, according
to one of the assistant deans.
However, this figure may not be
an accurate indication of interest
in or value of the program. Be
cause of the requirements which
must be met by the student in
order to sign up for a pass-fail
course, many students are ineli
gible for the program. In addi
tion, many schools in the uni
versity system will not accept
students on the pass-fail basis.

at San Francisco State College is
doing so well that president S. I.
Hayakawa is in kind of a jam.
According to a CPS report, the

The Faculty Senate Committee
of SMU has reversed the earlier
announced decision that a sympo
sium on drug use and abuse plan
ned last spring be cancelled. An
invitation will be re-extended to
drug proponent Timothy Leary,
who will support the drug use
side. His speech will be followed
the next night by an assembly
on the dangers of drug abuse.
The battle isn’t over yet, how
ever, because the second assembly
will be addressed by two speak
ers, as opposed to Leary’s single
performance.
Here Tonight
A film featuring Texas A&M
will be shown at 5:30 and 7:30
p.m. tonight in Room 100, the
large lecture hall, in the Chemis
try building.
“We’ve Never Been Licked”
featuring William Frawley and
Robert Mitchum was filmed on
campus in 1949.
The film is a story about a
student who comes to A&M dur
ing World War II and in his sen
ior year is accused of spying by
his fellow Aggies and so he goes
off and joins the Japan ese
forces.
Many of the traditions of A&M
are included in the movie, said
Paul Scopel, chairman of the
MSC Travel Committee Overseas
Loan Fund.
Scopel said admission to the
showing will be 50 cents with the
proceeds g o i n g to the fund
which loans money to students
who wish to go overseas to work
or participate in exchange pro
grams.
Money loaned under this fund,
Scopel said, does not have to be
paid back until the student has
finished school and then at a low
rate of interest.
