Day student parking lots have
148 fewer spaces than are needed
iach day, the university’s traffic
!ommittee was told Wednesday.
Ron Perry, designer in Plan-
| ling and Analysis, presented
igures to the committee showing
bat 2,623 spaces are needed for
j a y students but only 1,775 are
available.
Perry said he arrived at the
figure by taking the number of
day students using the spaces
(3,747) and subtracting 30 per
cent of that figure. The 30 per
cent, he said, is a constant per
centage of students not on cam
pus at any given time during the
day.

First Computer Championships
To be Held Here Saturday
Five Southwest Conference
schools and eight other Texas
colleges battle with computers
he Saturday.
The occasion is the first an
nual Texas Computer Program
ming Championships, believed to
be the first competition of its
type in the nation. Six blue-
chip companies are providing
cash prizes for the winners.
Dr. Roger Elliott, industrial
engineering professor who is co
ordinating the event, said each
school will be represented by up
to two teams consisting of as
many as four students per team.
The teams will be given three
identical problems, with judging
on the elapsed time for
successful completion of all three
assignments. One problem will
be mathematical and the other
two general, Dr. Elliott noted.
Prizes totaling $200 is being
furnished by IBM, Univac, Uni
versity Computing Co., General
Dynamics, Atlantic Ritchfield
and Shell Oil Co.
The program is jointly spon
sored by the Data Processing
Center and Industrial Engineer
ing Department. Competition
will be conducted by Upsilon Pi
Epsilon, national honor society
for computing science students
and the student chapters of the
Data Processing Management
Association and the Association
for Computing Machinery.
cent, 2,623 spaces are needed,
Perry said.
Dormitory parking areas show
an excess of 265 spaces, he said,
and faculty-staff areas 11.
University Police Chief Ed
Powell noted that the far end
of the day student parking area
by Kyle Field is always empty
no matter what time of day, and
that a new 1,000-space lot will
be constructed over the summer.
This new lot will alleviate any
problems, he said.
No further action was taken,
since the committee agreed the
problem was not as bad as it
sounded and that it was going to
be relieved over the summer.
A proposal to widen Agronomy
Road to four lanes, pave it, and
extend it to the Beef Center Road
will be made to the board of di
rectors, the committee decided.
Don Stafford, associate dean
of students, added that if the
road was extended to the north
east and connected with Fin-
feather it would provide a route
around the campus and could
also be used as a service road
to the new parking lot which
is to be located on the other side
of the railroad tracks opposite
Kyle Field.
The committee decided to study
the matter before making any
proposal.
Inquest Records, Report Released
Kennedy Story Doubted
5000$ li.
By Cornelius F. Hurley
and
Valter R. Mears
Associated Press Writers
BOSTON — Sen. Edward M.
Kennedy’s account of the acci
dent that killed Mary Jo Ko-
Pechne was challenged Wednes-
when an inquest judge re
ported he did not believe the sen
ior and the secretary were
beaded for the Chappaquiddick
Island ferry when Kennedy’s car
Plunged from a narrow bridge.
Judge James A. Boyle said in
report on the secret, January
inquest that, in his judgment,
Kennedy turned intentionally on
to the unpaved road which led to
ward Dike Bridge — and away
from the ferry the senator said
be planned to take.
Boyle said there was cause to
believe Kennedy drove negli-
?ently, in a manner which “ap
pears to have contributed to the
feath of Mary Joe Kopechne.”
The report and the 763-page in
vest transcript were made pub
lic Wednesday after nearly four
lionths of secrecy and courtroom
Wangling.
Kennedy’s reply was instant:
be rejected the judge’s findings.
"At the inquest I truthfully
Answered all questions asked of
me,” Kennedy said in Washing
ton. “In my personal view, the
inference and the ultimate find
ing of the judge’s report are not
justified and I reject them.”
Boyle did not explain why he
did not file a charge of negligent
driving against Kennedy. He
could not be reached for com
ment on his report. Conviction
on such a charge carries a max
imum penalty of two years in
jail and a $200 fine.
On July 25, one week after
Miss Kopechne died, Kennedy
pleaded guilty to a charge of
leaving the scene of an accident.
Boyle sentenced him to two
months in jail, suspended it and
put him on probation for one
year.
Release of the transcript was
forbidden by the state Supreme
Court until any possibility of
further prosecution had passed.
John J. Irwin, chief of the
Massachusetts attorney general’s
criminal division, said any at
tempt to prosecute Kennedy now
“might be vulnerable to attack”
on the basis of that Supreme
Court ruling.
Irwin said Dist. Atty. Edmund
Dinis already has “precluded that
any prosecution would be brought
on the basis of the inquest pro
ceedings.”
Dinis himself would not com
ment. “I would prefer to await
further developments,” he said.
U.S. in Cambodia;
Nixon Speaks at 8
By Carl P. Leubsdorf
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON—Amid a storm
of criticism in Congress, Presi
dent Nixon addresses the nation
tonight to explain his surprise
decision to provide U. S. military
support for a South Vietnamese
thrust into Cambodia.
In a test of congressional re
action, the House scheduled a
vote today on an amendment by
Rep. Ogen Reid, R-N.Y., prohib
iting the United States from send
ing ground troops into Cambodia.
Nixon set his nationally tele
vised address for 9 p. m. EDT.
Press Secretary Ronald L. Zieg
ler said the speech will relate
to Cambodia and U. S. forces in
Vietnam. Ziegler said a Cambo
dian request for direct U. S. arms
aid remains under consideration.
A full-scale airing of the ad
ministration’s controversial move
appeared certain when the Senate
and its Foreign Relations Com
mittee came back after a day’s
recess.
Members of both parties joined
in protest Wednesday after the
decision was announced first in
Saigon, then in Washington by
the Pentagon, to provide advisers,
air support and other aid for the
South Vietnamese action.
Top Senate Democratic, includ
ing Sens. Mike Mansfield, Edward
M. Kennedy, J. W. Fulbright, Ed
mund S. Muskie, and George S.
McGovern, denounced it as a move
to widen the Vietnam war.
Senior Republican members of
the Foreign Relations Committee
joined in. Sen George D. Aiken
of Vermont, a veteran GOP lead
er, cautioned the action might
have an “extremely bad” effect
on GOP political prospects in the
November elections.
The chairmen of House and
Senate armed services committee,
Rep. L. Mendel Rivers, D-S. C.,
and Sen. John C. Stennis, D-Miss.,
backed the move. But Stennis
added he opposes massive military
aid to Cambodie.
Announcement of the new U. S.
move came during the Senate
recess and two days after a near-
unanimous Senate Foreign Rela
tions Committee strongly opposed
both American aid to the new
Cambodian government or help
for .South Vietnamese action
against Communist forces in Cam
bodia.
The Pentagon announcement,
by Asst. Defense Secretary Dan
iel Z. Henkin, said the U. S.
Command in Saigon “is prepared
to provide support” to the South
Vietnamese, including “advisers,
tactical air, air coordinators, med
ical evacuation and some logistics
assistance.”
Henkin said enemy sanctuaries
in Cambodia “have imposed an in
creasing threat to the security of
free world forces in South Viet
nam.”
The decision also came 10 days
after Nixon announced further
U. S. troop withdrawals from
Vietnam and predicted, “we final
ly have in sight the just peace
we are seeking.”
men “the burden is on him to
Noting this, Muskie told news-
demonstrate convincingly there
has been such a change” since
then to warrant the new U. S.
action.
Mansfield called the decision to
send U. S. advisers into Cambodia
“the first step in the wrong di
rection.” Noting that Capitol
Hill was concerned and uneasy,
the Democratic leader ’hdded:
“This could now be called the
Indochinese war. What is happen
ing now is a whole new ball
game.”
Senate Republican Leader High
Scott refused to discuss the
action. Sen. Robert P. Griffin,
assistant GOP leader, personally
backed the move but he acknowl
edged opposition among his col
leagues.
Both GOP leaders failed to re
ceive immediate word of the ac
tion from the administration, first
learning of the decision from
news reports.
‘Misunderstandings 9 Cause
Most Marital Sex Problems
By Fran Haugen
Battalion Staff Writer
Most marital sex problems re
sult because a man and woman
really don’t understand attitudes,
physiology and behavior patterns
of the opposite sex, noted mar
riage expert Dr. Henry Bowman
told a small audience Wednesday
night.
Dr. Bowman, author of “Mar
riage for Moderns” and former
sociology professor at the Uni
versity of Texas, spoke on “Sex
in Human Relations—Marital” at
the final program in the four-
part Marriage Forum presented
by the Student ‘Y’ Association.
“A man’s response to sex is
like building a fire with dry wood
and dry matches,” Dr. Bowman
said. “Any Cub Scout can do it.
But a woman’s response is like
building a fire in the rain—you
have to have know how and pa
tience to nurture it, or it will go
out. Not every Cub Scout can do
that, yet many men go into mar-
Senators Will Discuss Abolition
of Bonfire at Meeting Tonight
The Student Senate will hear
a proposal to abolish the building
of the Bonfire in a session sched
uled for 7:30 p. m. in the Library
Conference Room.
Dr. Donald Clark, a professor
in the Wildlife Science Depart
ment, will request that the senate
institute a clean-up campaign in
lieu of the annual Thanksgiving
season event.
According to Rick Reese, senate
treasurer, Dr. Clark is very con
cerned with the annual practice
of destroying large areas of
forests for the purpose of burn
ing logs in a fire.
Other items on the senate agen
da include a report on last week’s
general elections from the Elec
tion Commission, a discussion of
a senate contribution toward re
building a home destroyed by fire,
and the allocation of student
activitity fees.
Reese said the senate will also
discuss the distribution of tickets
for the May graduation.
Kennedy said in Washington:
“Even though the legal proced
ures resulting from last summer’s
accident have come to a close, the
tragedy of that evening will
never really end for the Ko
pechne family, for my family
and myself. We must all live
with the loss of Mary Jo and the
pain that this has inflicted upon
us.”
In his recital of the case,
Boyle said Kennedy left a Chap
paquiddick Island party with
Miss Kopechne after telling his
chauffeur he intended to drive to
the ferry and return to Edgar-
town. Boyle said Kennedy stat
ed he mistakenly turned off the
road to the ferry and onto the
dirt road to the bridge.
But the judge said the facts
convinced him that the turn was
intentional.
Kennedy, testifying at the in
quest Jan. 5, was pressed by
both Boyle and Dinis to explain
why he did not report the acci-
Ident to police until some 10
hours after it happened.
He told how his cousin, Jos
eph F. Gargan, and a friend,
Paul Markham, went to the
bridge with him and dove re
peatedly to the submerged car

riage with this Cub Scout atti
tude.”
Prerequisites for a sexual ad
justment within marriage are
time, information about sex, an
optimistic attitude and the will
to succeed, Dr. Bowman said.
“Modern men are being asked
to redirect their sex drive toward
satisfaction of their wives, not
just to themselves,” Bowman
said. “A successful sexual adjust
ment is a creative achievement,
not doing only what comes natur
ally.”
A woman is much more in
volved in sex as a total person,
than a man, but a man wants to
be accepted by his wife, and if she
rejects him, he can become im
potent, Bowman said.
Women are slower to respond
to sexual stimulation but when
they respond they respond strong
ly, he said.
“Because a man is limited phys
iologically to the number of times
he can respond, and a woman is
not, the most responsive women
are more responsive than the
most responsive men,” Bowman
added. “A man’s glands can’t
keep up with his aspirations.”
Because a man can reach a
climax more rapidly than a wom
an, he must use self-discipline to
retard his response, and she must
try to get past her inhibitions,
he said.
Bowman warned husbands not
to go to sleep following inter
course.
“Women experience afterglow,
a tapering off of responsiveness,”
he explained. “Women have de
scribed this to me saying, ‘there’s
nothing quite like this with some
one you love.’ No girl wants to
experience this with a sleeping
lump.”
Bowman related an anecdote
about a young husband who was
ignorant of a woman’s afterglow.
He couldn’t understand why his
wife began to cry when soon
after intercourse he said, “You
know what, I’d like to buy a mo
torcycle.”
Bowman said any sexual fore
play which is not harmful to the
couple, is done in private, and is
done by mutual consent is “moral,
good and right.”
Bowman poked fun at sexual
technique manuals which try to
“teach you overnight to become
the world’s greatest lover.”
There is a Japanese book on
the market with 411 photographs
of mannequins in positions for
intercourse, he said, adding:
“With a book like that you’d
need to take a research assistant
on your honeymoon.”
TMA Invited
To Mayflower
Celebration
The lord mayor of Plymouth,
England, has invited the Texas
Maritime Academy to participate
in the 350th anniversary of the
sailing of the Mayflower.
Adm. James D. Craik, TMA su
perintendent, announced the acad
emy will alter the summer cruise
itinerary to allow the cadets to
join in the July 9 celebration.
Last month the academy ac
cepted an invitation to participate
in American Independence Day
celebrations July 3-5 at Den
mark’s Rebild National Park.
Craik said the Texas Clipper,
TMA training ship, will now dock
at Plymouth for the British visit,
rather than at Southhampton as
originally scheduled.
A mass check-out of books that
prevented some students from
having access to the checkout
counter was staged by black stu

During the session, in which
approximately 30 students partic

was also being circulated around
the campus.
During the check-out, three of
ficers of University Police were
present, including Chief Ed Pow

He formerly presided over a San
Antonio district court and a Court
of Civil Appeals before seeking
the Supreme Court seat. Sand
stedt was his 1966 campaign man
ager in this area.
Among Judge Pope’s numerous
publications is a book, The Me
