Taking 2 aspirin will not cure
the effects of your environment!
Taking time out to participate
in Earth Day April 22nd may
help though.
On April 22, over 1,200 colleges are going to observe
National Earth Day with teach-ins on ecotactics.
This is the book you’ll want to consult—not only
then, but for as long as the fight goes on!

techniques.
• How to organize non-violent, direct
actions against factories, supermar
kets, department stores, the univer

and others.
• Mistakes made and lessons
learned in anti-pollution actions in
Santa Cruz...Stanford...Washington,

THE BATTALION
‘Little’ Cliff Bids For Halfback Slot
Replacing Larry Stegent,
A&M’s top running back the
past two seasons, is one of the
key concerns during the Aggies’
spring football drills these days.
Winning an offensive half
back’s berth is the top concern
for Clifford Thomas, a six-foot,
190-pound battler from Tahoka
out in West Texas.
Clifford, better known as
“Little Cliff” around Aggieland
to distinguish him from Clifton
“Big Cliff” Thomas, a 6-5, 234-
pound linebacker from Tidehaven,
was a great all-around athlete at
Tahoka High.
He played halfback and line
backer and made all-district and
all-South Plains both ways. He
also played basketball and ran
in the intermediate hurdles and
broad jumped in track.
When he came to A&M, he
specialized as a linebacker on
the 1968 Fish team that went
unbeaten. He started out last
spring at the same position but
was later shifted to offense and
played both tailback and fullback.
This spring he is concentrating
on the right halfback spot.
Little Cliff can run the 100
in 10-flat and he moves with
balance and power when he has
the football. He’s known as a
fierce competitor and that’s what
it’ll take to eventually win the
starting halfback slots this com
ing season.
The son of Dr. and Mrs. C. S.
Thomas of Tahoka, Cliff had a
high school grade average of 91,
was a member of the National
Honor Society and president of
the student council. He is a pre-
vet medicine major at A&M and
plans to become a veterinarian.
He only carried the football
four times last season and gained
nine yards while earning his
letter as a sophomore.
But, with two more varsity
seasons ahead, you can look for
Little Cliff to make his presence
felt in the Aggies’ offensive back-
field.

LITTLE CLIFF—Clifford Thomas is one of the top candi
dates in the Texas A&M spring drills for one of the start
ing halfback slots. He carried but four times last season
but could see a lot more action when the Aggies open with
Wichita State in the fall.

Apollo 13
(Continued from page 1)
continued to be the most critical
supply. Griffin reported early to
day the spacemen had enough foi
only 19 hours beyond the planned
landing time. There was plenty
of drinking water.
The astronauts had a 30-houi
margin in the lunar module oxy
gen supply and about 500 extra
ampere hours in the lunar module
electrical supply.
The spacemen had turned off
most lights and they groped
through the two darkened space
ships with flashlights. The com
mand ship, which had become
essentially a bedroom, had turned
cold, with temperatures as low as
35 degrees.
