Topics discussed at the forum

Free speech,
bonfire topics
Sociology senior Bill Maskal
said students under Texas law
do not have to pay parking tick
ets to the university.
“You can pay the money to a
duly authorized court of law in
College Station,” he said. “But
you have to suffer consequences
for the civil disobedience.”
Several students asked what
the possibility would be of con
ducting a university-approved,
on-campus rally on ecology or
the Vietnam war.
Someone said he thought ecol
ogy as a topic would be approved,
but the war would not.
“Do we have selective freedom
of speech?” senior sociology ma
jor David Reynolds questioned.
“Is this (the forum) the only
time we can do this?”
The Bonfire was discussed in
light of the ecology issue.
“What about tearing down and
rebuilding a ghetto in College
Station instead of building a
bonfire?” Mike van Bavel, sen
ior electrical engineering major,
asked.
“But College Station doesn’t
have any ghettos,” several said
Two-star general
to review march-in
Army Maj. Gen. Charles W.
Ryder Jr. will take Corps of Ca
dets salutes Saturday at the
march-in to the Texas A&M-TCU
football game.
The reviewing officer and dis
tinguished visiting dignitary of
the cadets’ third formal appear
ance of 1070-71 is chief of staff
at Headquarters, Fourth U. S.
Army, Fort Sam Houston.
With Ryder on the Kyle Field
reviewing stand will be Acting
President A. R. Luedecke, Col.
Jim H. McCoy, commandant, and
Col. Keith C. Hanna, professor of
aerospace studies.
The two-star general is on his
second tour of duty in Texas.
The first was as a platoon lead-
e r in the 357th Infantry, “Texas’
Own" 90th Infantry Division, in
1942 when Ryder embarked on
his 28-year military career. He
was then assigned at Camp
Rarkeley.
Between the former assignment
at Abilene and his present tour
a t San Antonio, the 49-year-old
Bag officer commissioned at West
Point has seen much of the world.
, He was battalion operations of
ficer of the 357th at the Nor-
From 6 to 12

Crocker
mandy Landing on Utah Beach
and then commanded the 1st Bat
talion. During World War II Gen.
Ryder participated in the North
ern France, Normandy, Ardennes-
Alsace, Rhineland and Central
Europe campaigns.
The New Jersey native also
commanded a 2nd Infantry Di
vision battalion in Korea, was
plans and policy officer for the
U. S. ambassador to NATO in
Paris, headed the 1st Airborne
Brigade of the 8th Division in
Germany and took the 199th Light
Infantry Brigade to Southeast
Asia.
In Vietnam, he was assistant
division commander to the 4th
Division at Pleiku and assistant
division commander for maneu
ver of the Americal Division at
Chu Lai. Ryder was Army assist
ant chief of staff for personnel in
Hawaii before going to Fort Sam.
A jumpmaster, he wears the

Merit with an Oak Leaf Cluster,
Distinguished Flying Cross,
Bronze Star Medal with three
clusters and “V” device and the
Purple Heart, among other dec
orations.
increduously, “at least not like
in New York or Chicago.”
One student said students
should take a walk into Bryan
some day if they didn’t think any
constructive work could be done
in the area.
Perhaps those against the
bonfire could explain the ecology
issue to farmers and ranchers
wanting their land cleared, Davie
Reimers, oceanography graduate
student, suggested.
“Why are there 232 black jan
itors at the university and of the
10 foremen only one is black?”
black student Kenneth Benjamin,
sophomore aerospace engineering
major, asked. “That’s just like
slavery with the white overseer.”
Junior political science major
Alan Giles said the Black Aware
ness Committee (BAG) might be
viewed as a subterfuge but that
it is better than nothing.
“I found out that this (the
BAG) was for blacks and whites
to get together in order to make
whites aware of blacks and their
differences. But whites already
know blacks are different. I
think we need a black organiza
tion for blacks.”
Sophomore mathematics major
Tony Jean, member of the BAG
disagreed with Giles:
“I believe unity of whites and
blacks is better than rebuttal.
The Black Awareness Committee
is a start on which to build.”
Senior industrial technology
major Douglas Smith questioned
A&M’s speakers policy.
“If we’re old enough to be col
lege material we’re old enough
to weigh both sides of the issue.
Obviously the administration does
not believe this,” he said. “Peo
ple call me obscene names be
cause I have long hair. I’m not
intent on destroying America,
and I’d try to stop anyone who
is.”
Mrs. Stanley Cass told the
group about 11 Aggies missing
in action in Indochina and four
POW’s. She circulated petitions
and letters with the admonition
that the pencil was “the greatest
weapon.”
Mrs. Cass is sending the let
ters asking for humane treat
ment of the men to the Paris
peace talks.
Some of the students asked the
moderators Moore, Tommy Mayes
and Sam Drugan, if they could
talk past one o’clock.
The moderators said the forum
would be finished at one, and
“we can’t guarantee anything
after we leave.”

A nine-watt AM transmitter in Crocker Hall
| Wne d and operated by students broadcasts music to
residents during the week.
WK.LW is on the air from 6 p.m. to midnight.
WKLW is basically a rock music station, pro-
■^ am director Pryor Craigmiles, junior electrical
f n gineering major, said, adding that folk music is an
^gral part of the program.
| Crocker radio was born out of the realization
^ a b while the majority of students prefer rock, a
f 0 id of this type of music (rock) exists in the
tyan-College Station area,” Craigmiles said.
Co-owners of the station are Marvin Kauers,

At Town Hall
Supremes perform Friday
The shimmering sound of three
young women who have collected
seven gold records in less than
two years set the Texas A&M-
TCU football weekend activities
going Friday in a Town Hall Spe
cial Attraction performance.
The Supremes will perform at
8 p.m. Friday in G. Rollie White
Coliseum for the special.
Admissions, separate from
Town Hall season passes and stu-
RVs to initiate 84
Thursday at MSC
Commission.
Schoeneberger acts as chief engineer and holds
a first class FCC commercial license. He has worked
for KEIF and KNUS in Dallas.
“We have the equipment to turn on the whole
campus,” Craigmiles said. “Other universities sponsor
broadcasts throughout the academic community. If
possible, we would like to expand our present
capabilities to cover the other halls. Presently we are
in compliance with FCC rules and regulations, and
broadcast only to Crocker Hall.
Craigmiles said lack of administration approval
prevented broadcasting to other halls. Dean of
Students James P. Hannigan said the question of
broadcasting to the entire campus has not been
raised. He said he could not say what the administra
tion’s decision might be.
WKLW acts as a communication link between
A&M and the outside world, Craigmiles said, by
presenting occasional editorials and public service
messages. The station is noncommercial, he said, and
students can advertise free. Editorial policy requires
presentation of both sides of an issue, he said.
The Ross Volunteers will ini
tiate 84 ROTC juniors into the
organization during Thursday
ceremonies in the Memorial Stu
dent Center.
Marion J. Neeley, 1922 Texas
A&M graduate and Fort Worth
investments firm president, will
be guest speaker for the initiation
banquet.
The organization, named for
former Texas Governor and A&M
President Lawrence Sullivan Ross,
provides firing squads for Silver

Composed of Mary Wells, Cin
dy Birdsong and new member
Jean Terrell, the Supremes have
retained the elegant, easily-iden-
tifiable sound from the days
when Dianna Ross trouped with
the trio.
The first personal appearance
of the “new” Supremes at Dal
las’ Fairmount Hotel last Febru
ary provided “eloquent testimony
that the trio will continue to up
hold their name,” wrote talent
critic Marge Pettyjohn.
The major change came last
fall when Motown Records pre
sented the Supremes and Miss
Ross as two separate talents.
Jean Terrell began rehearsing
with the Supremes after Dianna
left the group in Las Vegas and
in the Dallas appearance proved
herself “capable of channeling
the trio’s graceful cadence with
an appealing and fresh tone”
while maintaining the identifia
ble sound that created the Su
premes’ popularity.
Their performances usually in
clude several of the songs which
sold a million or more records,
“Where Did Our Love Go,”
“Come See About Me,” “Baby
Love,” “I Hear A Symphony,”
“Stop in the Name of Love,”
“Back in My Arms Again” and
“You Can’t Hurry Love.”
The Supremes’ personality,
zest, clarity of phrasing and
choreography also come through
in numbers like “If My Friends
Could See Me Now,” “Don’t Rain
on My Parade” and “Once in a
Lifetime.”
Their showmanship is revealed
too in renditions of “MacArthur
Park,” George Harrison’s “Some
thing” and “Raindrops Keep
Falling on My Head.”
Veterans of international tours
and innumerable big-name TV
show appearances, the Supremes
performed a feat unmatched by
any other American group when
they had five consecutive records
reach the No. 1 spot on the best
selling charts.
Leftwich said reserved seats
for the Supremes show are $2.75,
$3.50 and $4. General admission
is $2.25 for A&M student or date;
$2.75, other students, and $3.25,
patrons.

Free speech resolution sent
to Student Senate from CCOC
The Campus Committee of
Concern (CCOC) Monday night
voted to present a resolution to
the Student Senate which would
give the Senate power to approve
rallies held on campus and would
guarantee freedom of speech on
campus.
In other actions, CCOC mem
bers voted to send Jeff Tucker to
a draft counseling conference at
the University of Texas at Aus
tin this weekend and discussed
plans for a proposed antiwar
rally.
The resolution concerning free
dom of speech will be a broad
proposal, according to Mike Van
Bavel, public relations director
for the CCOC, and will attempt
to cover different aspects of free
dom of speech on campus.
Don Branson, senior aerospace
engineering major, presented the
motion for the draft counseling
conference. He explained the
purpose of the conference was to
help educate and inform people
about draft laws and show ways
they can set up draft counseling
services in their communities.
“These counseling services are
not by any means illegal or
wrong,” Branson said. “They are
a very definite and positive help
to the students and to the gov
ernment.”
Members also discussed plans
for attending a state-wide anti
war rally in Austin Oct. 31.
