From other campuses By James R. Jackson By JAMES R. JACKSON “Bull” is how one teacher at SMU defines the present work being done in ecology. Pat Canavan, Assistant Profes sor of Organizational Behavior and Administration, says ecology should be, “what goes on two feet in front of you.” The long-haired instructor is a graduate of Yale, with a de gree in organizational behavior. His office stands out amid tidy, businesslike offices with a “homey” atmosphere created by colorful, poster-laden walls. Canavan oddly enough, fears no serious objection at SMU for his unorthodox views. He con siders traditional education “ob solete” and feels “it makes no sense.” He thinks “there are a lot of risk-takers, interested in change.” He adds, “Polariza tion is formed through ignor ance. We need to get together and learn from each other.” Other news from SMU includes the establishment of Free Uni versity classes. Free University is an expanding activity on many of the nation’s college campuses. The idea behind this movement is that students are dissatisfied with regular university courses, 'saying they are not covering areas of special interest and are not relevant. Karol Hoeffner, chairman of SMU’s Free University, says that the new courses will offer stu dents a place to meet new people and exchange ideas. She said the courses to be of fered will range from the Back ground of Rock Music to The Politics of the Male-Female Re lationship. Other classes will in clude an astrology course taught by a professional astrologist, and a course called Life Is an Art Form. Listen Up the hatt forum Editor: In the Sept. 11 copy of the Batt, four sophomores stated their feel ings about the AstroTurf. I agree with them wholeheartedly, but they didn’t go far enough. Any one who saw the march-in knows what I am talking about. Either there is not a single outfit that can march this year, or someone didn’t let them practice on the track. We have a marvelous Corps of Cadets, and it is a pitty they should be humiliated by their per^ formance on unfamiliar terrain. Sincerely, Mike Coswalt ’72 Editor: Last Friday night, I went to the first Town Hall Series pre sentation at the coliseum. It was a music concert featuring Pacific Gas and Electric, a hard rock- blues group. I enjoyed the concert very much, as it appeared did the majority of those in attendance. It was an excellent beginning for an evening capped by the year’s first midnight yell practice. But now, as I glance over the list of remaining Town Hall pre sentations, I notice that, while a varied and interesting musical schedule is offered, no more hard rock-blues concerts are planned. As an observer at the season’s first and only scheduled concert of this nature, it strikes me as strange that with that many peo ple in attendance and obviously enjoying themselves listening to a somewhat less than well known band, there are no more. Many universities find oppor tunities to present many of this type concert during the year. In fact, many students from this in stitution have been forced to go to other institutions for this type entertainment. If money is a factor, reasonable rates could be established as has been done elsewhere. If lack of sufficient interest is the problem, let’s find out. Let’s find out where we stand. Larry M.

CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, September 17,1 Where Campus Cops usually have a reputation for tickets and towed-away cars, at Tech three policemen do nothing but investigate major crimes. At the Department’s disposal is scien tific crime-detection fingerprint ing kits, movie camera, and a dog. According to Chief Daniels, “Everything from lug bolts to transmissions are stolen from parked cars on campus.” One student was caught with $4,000 worth of stolen goods, and one had $5,000 worth. The long arm of the KK’s reached out and nabbed thirty people for lewd ness and homosexuality last year in the first two weeks of school. However, this figure is down this year — they haven’t had any, but with that camera, I’ll bet they’re going to get some really good flicks.
