Binford selected Aggie Sweetheart for 1970-71 Sue Binford, a junior at Texas Woman’s University in Denton, Sunday was selected Aggie Sweetheart for the 1970-71 school year. The 20-year-old junior special education major will be formally presented to the student body during halftime activities at the Texas A&M-Texas Tech football game Saturday night in Kyle Field. Jimmy Alexander, Sweetheart Selection Committee chairman announced Miss Binford’s selection by the 10-man f committee around noon. She immediately was surrounded by the other finalists and 1969-70 sweetheart Claudia Gordy. Excitement reigned for the next five minutes, then things settled down slightly. Miss Binford, a 5-foot, five-inch beauty with brown hair, was selected from among nine finalists. The finalists had been chosen from more than 30 applicants. She also was a finalist in last year’s competition. Her home is in Tucson, Ariz., a fact which might cause some to wonder how she happens to be attending TWU. She saw some information on TWU in her guidance counselor’s office, she told The Battalion, and liked what she | read. In addition, she had wanted to attend an out-of-state school. “Besides,” she said, “Texas is just—well, Texas, to anyone in Arizona.” Selection committee members included Student Senate members, Civilian Student Council members and members of the Corps of Cadets. iSpllt Sue Binford, 1970-71 Aggie Sweetheart.

The agenda must be approved in final form by the Memorial Student Center (MSC) Council. This is being done now, Mayefield said. “It is not a conference on stu dent unrest,” Mayefield stressed. “That is just one of four sub- topics. Speakers will represent both sides of any question. They will be well-respected speakers in their field and not the kind that will be using the SCONA as a platform for useless rhetoric. SCONA has $12,000, with a goal of $22,000. Registration fees will probably total $3,000, May- field said. The other money is obtained from donations by for mer students, foundations, cor porations and other interested in dividuals. SCONA will hold an organiza tional meeting Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the MSC ballroom. Com mittee assignments will be made at this time, he added. About 150 students from all over the United States and Mex ico will attend the conference as delegates, about 40 of these from A&M. Mayefield said delegate appli cations will be available some time in November. Besides the main speakers, there will be roundtable discus sions, working sessions consisting of 20 to 25 delegates and two co-chairmen, people who are rec ognized experts on the topic. These will be open to observers. Chairmen for the conference are: Mayefield; Mike Cunning ham, vice-chairman; Bert Kin- kead, steering committee; Gene Evans, planning committee; Lar ry Gallego, personnel; Mel Ham ilton, operations; Ray Kopecky, public relations; Jim Gras, trans portation; Rick Mallahn, host; Rich Rynearson, arrangements; Bill Stockton, special programs; Rod Taylor, publications; Sam Garcia, finance; and Art Saldana, treasurer. By FRAN HAUGEN Battalion Managing Editor Review Editor Janie Wallace was told Monday night three stories about black students at A&M could not be run in this year’s first issue of The Review, magazine of the College of Lib eral Arts. Miss Wallace, a senior journal ism major said she met with Liberal Arts Dean W. David Max well, who told her the stories, “Black Students Rap,” taken from Freshmen yell leaders chosen A&M freshmen Terry Chap man of Haskell; Barry Bogart, Smithville; Griffith Lasley, Strat ford; Dale O’Reilly, Houston; and Randy Thomas, Beaumont, have been named freshman yell leaders for 1970-71. The five frosh make their first appearance as yell leaders Wed nesday at the A&M-Fish-TCU Polywog football game at Fort Worth’s Amon Carter Stadium. Upperclass yell leaders headed by Keith Chapman of Haskell tried out applicants for the posi tions and narrowed the field to 11 students. The yell leaders com mittee interviewed them, selected the five and named Terry Chap man, younger brother of the senior yell leader, to the top post. Chapman is a range science major and member of Squadron 6 in the Corps of Cadets. Bogart is in Squadron 7 and studying political science. A Company B-l cadet, Lasley is a mechanical en gineering major. O’Reilly, a civilian student re siding in Hughes Hall, is studying mechanical engineering. Thomas is in Company C-l and a wildlife science major. a taped conversation of 15 black students and edited by Miss Wal lace; “A New Dimension of Uni versity Responsibility,” a com mentary by Alan Giles; and “He Who Overcomes Himself is Mighty,” a commentary by Shel ton Wallace could not be carried because they were unsubstantiated and untrue in part. Giles and Shelton Wallace are black stu dents. “We don’t want to wash our dirty linen in front of the public,” Maxwell said. Miss Wallace will appeal the decision to the Student Publica tions Board, asking them to hold a special meeting to consider the matter. Maxwell refused to comment, saying he felt it would be im proper since he might be called to testify before the board. Miss Wallace said Maxwell told her he would endorse her memo randum for appeal, encouraging her to use all available channels. He said it was part of his job as dean to review the editorial content of The Review. Miss Wallace said Maxwell told her the black student dialogue was “undergraduate lore,” that an untrue fact destroyed the cred ibility of Giles’ comment. Since Shelton Wallace’s comment was debating Giles’ comment, he said, the piece by Wallace could not be run either. She said the essence of Giles’ article was that the Black Aware ness Committee of the Memorial Student Center Directorate was an “Uncle Tom” committee set up by whites and handed down to blacks. Shelton Wallace, chairman of the committee, said the commit tee was a mechanism to facilitate the exchange of ideas and syn chronize the student body because the average nonblack person doesn’t realize what it’s like to be black, Miss Wallace said. About the articles, Miss Wal lace said: . “If someone read it (the dia logue), they would realize this was just student talking. It was just to let people know what blacks are like. Everyone says blacks do this, blacks do that. I just wanted to show what blacks are really like. “I ran the commentaries be cause I didn’t want to run some thing about blacks by whites without giving the blacks a chance to speak for themselves.” Miss Wallace said she was not appealing to the Student Publica- to SNt Janie Wallace tions Board because she thought she would change anybody’s mind. “I’^i appealing to understand the roles of the dean, the stu dents, the advisors and the board. It’s very confusing who can cen sor. There really shouldn’t be censorship anyway. Freedom of the press is a basic American right.” Howard F.

Station Manager Mel Chastain credited the educational televi sion station’s chief engineer, George Shearer, and an assistant, Tom Toimpidis, for the station’s quick return to the air. The station’s master and back up frequency-determining crys tals became defective last Thurs day, forcing the station to an nounce a suspension of opera tions. Shearer and Toimpidis made a new crystal for the transmitter, Chastain said, adding the station would have been off the air in definitely if a workable crystal had to be ordered through nor mal channels. It was the first “down time” experienced by the Station in more than three months. The university-operated sta tion broadcasts on UHF channel 15, cable channel 12. Two Texas A&M students who decided they would not reveal themselves as benefactors of an auto accident victim the weekend of the LSU game were identified Friday. Carl Kohler, 19, and Sam Pa- rigi, 20, both juniors of Beau mont, stopped and rendered aid to Karl Armentor Jr. of New Ibe ria, La., injured two miles north of Port Barre, La., when a weld ing truck struck his Volkswagen. Armentor’s father requested university assistance last Thurs day in finding his son’s benefac tors, so that he might personally thank the students. Kohler and Parigi were identi fied to the Dean of Students’ Of fice by Theo Rouse of Beaumont and Gordon Strole of Abilene, A&M students and friends of Parigi and Kohler. “Your actions were very com mendable and we are quite proud of you,” Dean of Students James P. Hannigan informed the two students who graduated from Beaumont’s Kelly High School in 1968. “We just did what we hope someone would do for either of us under similar circumstances,” Kohler replied. The students and their dates were on their way home from the LSU game when the accident oc curred, about 11 a.m. Sept. 20. Kohler, who was driving, said he saw the Volkswagen swerve off the highway and flip end over end several times. “The truck apparently was changing lanes and hit the smaller car, though I didn’t see the col lision,” he described. “We were three or four ears back in the line of traffic.” Armentor had dragged himself from the wrecked foreign car by the time the Aggies reached the scene. Parigi said the first auto behind the truck also stopped to give assistance. “I sat through the first aid segment of Physical Education 102 under Dr. (Homer) Tolson as a freshman, wondering what good will it ever do me,” remark ed Kohler, a junior in forestry. He and Parigi, a junior in man agement, made Armentor lie down on a blanket from his car. They rounded up handkerchiefs from bystanders to apply to Armentor’s profusely bleeding injuries and placed him in an ambulance. Kohler rode with Armentor to the Oppelousas General Hospital while Parigi drove his car and their dates to the city nearest the accident scene. “A friend called and told me about the news story requesting information about us,” Parigi said. “After seeing it in The Bat talion and telling Carl, we de cided to just keep quite.” “We were only delayed an hour and a half in our drive,” Kohler commented. Associate Dean Don R. Staf ford said Armentor’s father indi cated his son had a broken shoul der, lacerations and possible head injuries. He is being transferred to Houston for a check of con tinuing headaches. University National Bank “On the side of Texas A&M.” —Adv.
