Regarding Mike W r i g h t’s
“Awards” column in the April 22
issue of The Battalion, I am in
clined to ask if Mr. Wright was
in Austin April 17 — the occa
sion of the unfortunate incident
between University of Texas
pitcher James Street and Bay
lor University coach Dutch
Schroeder.
Mr. Wright seems to speak
with great authority and self-
assurance when he describes “a
forearm block delivered by
Street” and the “fact that Street
did strike and knock out” Coach
Schroeder.
If Mr. Wright was indeed pres
ent on the occasion in question
and did personally view the in
cident, his overstatement of the
actual situation can be dismissed
as mere misinterpretation.
If, on the other hand, Mr.
Wright did not have first hand
knowledge of the facts and relied
on some one else’s interpreta-
classified as irresponsible second
hand reporting.
Mr. Wright also appears to
feel that the University of Texas
is accordjed preferential treat
ment in controversies of this
sort. He says “the higher eche
lon of the Southwest Conference
will truly flash their burnt
orange Jockey Shorts if they let
the incident pass without judg
ment.”
Nobody within the University
of Texas community condones
Street’s actions, whatever the cir
cumstances. Those people who
saw the incident would be the
last to protect Street from justi
fiable criticism of his behavior.
I tend to doubt, however, that
a Texas A&M University publi
cation is the proper vehicle for
such criticism. Mr. Wright said
in his article that “we will find
out if Baylor has the integrity to
stand up to the University of
Texas on its rights. A coach
should not have to worry about
being clobbered by an opposing
player.”
Baylor has already demon
strated that it lacks the “in
tegrity” Mr. Wright refers to.
Without making any unfounded
accusations, I would refer Mr.
Wright to an incident in G. Rol-
lie White Coliseum during the
1969 basketball season and ask,
“Should players have to worry
about opposing spectators?”
Possibly, Jockey Shorts change
color from maroon to orange, de
pending upon what’s in season.

Editor:
In the tolerant whine of fear-
struck slaves, we have begged
and pleaded with University of
ficials for complete equal status
in an academic sense. To begin
to give us equal status, the uni
versity administrators should al
low a black organization on cam
pus and should begin to include
courses that depict the black
man in the American society, past
and present.
We cannot in all faith honor
our black heritage and share in
our black identity while cringing
at the voice of racist administra-
tors.
We tdnnot have pity for those
who refuse to try to be empa-
thetic. We can only hope for a
hastening of their removal.
In order for the preservation
of our honor and to give us equal
status as students, we feel the
university should alter its pres
ent policy toward black students
and black America.

for the good of his fellowman,”
Wells observed.
“Without a doubt, the best way
we can honor Gen. Rudder is to
rededicate ourselves to the chal
lenge of building an even strong
er Texas A&M,” he continued.
“With the close of one era, we
begin another,” Wells reminded.
“And we begin it in what appears
to be more troubled and complex
times than those we faced a dec
ade ago.”
He pointed out the nation is
faced with continued war, civil
disobedience, the population ex
plosion, pollution and other prob
lems of the environment.
“Knowledgeable people every
where are developing concern
over the prodigious rate that
this nation—and the world, to
some lesser extent—is so rapidly
consuming many of its deplet-
able natural resources,” stressed
the Granbury rancher.
He noted the U. S. population
is expected to double within the
next 50 years, giving the country
some 400 million people. By the
year 2000, the world population
will be more than six billion, he
said.
While the population doubles,
there is a need to triple food pro
duction, Wells asserted. He said
much of the increase will go for
improvement of diets and the re-

A division of ERC
mainder to fill “some two to
three billions of new plates.”
Noting that Texas currently
ranks third in the nation in ag
ricultural production, Wells ex
pressed confidence the state will
soon be second, right behind Cal
ifornia.
“Food production, of course, is
no longer strictly an agricultural
function,” he reminded. “The easy
research has been done. The great
advances of the future will in
volve most disciplines. And much
of it will be done in cyclotrons,
nuclear reactors and all the oth
er new sophisticated tools.”
The board president said the
university’s engineers, scientists,
agriculturists and representatives
of other fields “may well be lay
ing the groundwork with their
Nuplex study for some highly
beneficial undertakings.”
Purpose of the Nuplex study is
to explore the potentialities for
the State of Texas for new and
very large concentrated sources of
nuclear-generated low-cost elec
tricity and abundant desalted sea
water, and the many chemicals
which be produced in associated
operations.
Turning to the selection of a
new president for A&M, Wells
said the search will undoubtedly
take time “because we will not
settle for second-best.”
“We feel we can take our time
because we may very well have
the most qualified man for the
assignment serving in that capa
city now on an acting basis,” the
board president remarked. “We
are indeed grateful to Gen. Lued-
ecke for accepting this position
and extremely fortunate to have
a man with such eminent qualifi
cations within our ranks.”
Gen. A. R. Luedecke, formerly
associate dean of engineering,
was appointed acting president
of both the university and sys
tem March 30.
Wells praised A&M’s faculty
and staff for their roles in the
progress made in developing the
institution to its present status.
“Likewise, I commend the stu
dent leaders for their wholesome
guidance and the overall student
body for its maturity in not wa
vering in its orderly support of
noble and worthy ideals, as have
students on some other campuses
in this country,” he added.
While commending the univer
sity community for past perform
ance, Wells emphasized “the job
is far from being completed.”
“We must continue to produce
graduates of Texas A&M who
can compete with anyone any
where in the world,” he conclud
ed, “and we must continue to de
velop all phases of our institu
tion, so that by our centennial
year in 1976, Texas A&M will be
viewed nationally as a standard
of excellence.”
