He is apprehensive about more trouble as the school opens for another term. In a question and answer inter view, Hoffman states his views and what the school plans to do. Q) Dr. Hoffman, since March 1969, there have been four Uni versity of Houston incidents. One caused damage to the Student Union Center and 14 arrests. Another was a protest against military recruiters. In another, 75 or so protested removal of trees and another anti-war dem onstration occurred in which there was minor damage and a brief threat to take over the admini- stration building but no arrests. Can you say how much non-stu dent participation was involved? 1970 A) It’s difficult to be complete ly definitive about this. At no TOYOTA time was there more than a mi nority.

And at all times in each of these incidents there were non- students coming and going. In no time were they in the majority. Q) Was the non-student influ ence a major factor? A) It certainly was a factor. In the case of the 14 persons ar rested, I think three of those were non-students. But the key leaders were students. To what extent they were being influenc ed is difficult to determine. Q) Would these incidents have occurred if non-students had not been there? A) There would have been in cidents. Probably not as marked in their ramifications. I might remark that although these things were important to us at the time, in retrospect, when you com pare them to things which have gone on all over the country, they were minor. Q) In other campus disturb ances, administrators have seemed to divide into two camps. One lets the incident run its course, the other calls in the police at once. Where do you stand? A) I would like to think that I belong to the group that be lieves in fairness and firmness. I believe I’m in the firm camp, but I also don’t believe in acting in a spirit of premature action or anything that would be harsh or repressive in character. I be lieve the right of peaceful dis sent is a right that must be sup ported and protected. But when the demonstration of activity as sumes proportions which make it impossible for the university to operate under fairly normal con- Morgan chosen journal editor Dr. Page Morgan, plant sci ences professor at Texas A&M University, has been named a member of the editorial board for Plant Physiology, journal of the American Society of Plant Physiologists. Morgan’s five-year term on the international publication begins Jan. 1. The appointment was an nounced at the society’s annual meeting at Indiana University. Operation of the journal is directed by three editors and an editor-in-chief. ditions ... or deprives other stu dents or faculty of their right to pursue their normal pursuits, then it is a disruption. Q) At what time do you think it would be necessary to bring in outside authorities? A) At the point when it’s im possible for your own security force to handle it. This is a matter of judgment. Q) Dr. Hoffman, how much do you rely on student or faculty to help you resolve incidents like this or to chart policy? A) We try to have very close communications with student and faculty, not only in moments of crisis but even more important in moments of relative calm. Q) What enrollment do you expect ? A) Between 25,000 and 25,600. Q) What percentage of that will be Afro-American? A) We’ve had about 800. I would expect slightly more than that. Rocket propellants conference to be held Texas A&M will host a three- day conference this fall for the nation’s leaders in development of solid rocket propellants. Participants in the Nov. 10-12 meeting are members of a Joint Army - Navy - NASA - Air Force Committee which functione as a working group to advance the state of the art in solid propel lant structural integrity analy sis. The group’s chairman, Don Saylak, is on leave of absence from the Air Force to study for a Ph.D. degree in materials science at Texas A&M. Saylak said the group includes representatives from industry and universities, as well as from the military and space agency. Approximately 75 men are ex pected to attend the meeting. The group was formed to pro vide coordination and coopera tion between government agen cies working on solid propellants and to resolve technical problems of immediate concern, Saylak ex plained. FOB BEST RESULTS TRY BATTALION CLASSIFIED Q) A Negro group made 10 demands last year. These in cluded establishment of an Afro- American studies department, hiring a Negro coach, and a de mand that 35 per cent of the freshman class this fall be Negro. Now 800 out of 25,000 . . . A) Between 3 and 4 per cent. Q) ... is between 3 and 4 per cent. What response to these demands have been made and what’s been the reaction from that group? A) We made it clear immedi ately that the university is open to all persons who could qualify for admission and from our point of view it seemed highly unlikely there could be this kind of a jump from 3 or 4 per cent then to 35 per cent. The enrollment of blacks has not proceeded in the volume they hoped nor could it really without completely aban doning all of our admission re quirements. Q) Are admission requirement tests or records established in high school or both? A) This is a combination of high school grades and grades on the scholastic aptitude test. Q) Do you plan or have you already established an Afro- American studies department? A) We’re bringing in this fall Dr. Robert A. Smithey to head up this program. It’s - been in operation all through last year . . . We’ve been seeking a well- qualified black man. Dr. Smithey we think will do an excellent job as the new director. Q) How about the demand for a black coach? Has this been met? A) It has. We had been seeki a black coach for a number i months prior to this demand.!,I did find him last spring. Hei Elmer Redd who was coach, Lufkin Dunbar where he had, tremendous record. Q) Do you regard the univerj sity as the proper stage forr times rather violent prote against a national policy? A) No, I don’t. These are pm lems which are problems of i ciety in general. The univers ties can’t pull us out of Vietnail or solve pollution or any of ths other things. Q) What is the outlook fort coming scholastic year? A) I would say it’s an look of watchful and concen waiting.
