JACKSON yV kissing contest at Southwest Texas State resulted in a new “Everybody made such a fuss about it not being properly cleaned, so we took it out!” world -record of nine hours and 17 minutes. Two couples tied for the record which was previously held by a couple from Notre Dame. Books, TV and radios were used to occupy the time spent in kiss ing. ★ ★ ★ Dr. Jean Houston, director of the Foundation for Mind Re search, speaking at Texas Tech said, “We are making criminals of thousands of people for using a drug (marijuana) that might eventually prove relatively harm less.” She calls American penalties for use of drugs “unique in their severity,” adding, “so severe that one often hears reports of a young man serving a sentence of 20 years for having been caught smoking a joint of marijuana while, in the adjoining cell, is a convicted murderer whose term is only seven years.” Although she is in favor of lessening the penalties, she is not in favor of legalizing marijuana. ★ ★ ★ The University of Florida stu dent body president thinks money for athletics should be rechan neled into academics. He said that “big-time football is fighting a battle for survival—and losing.” Ralph Glatfelter pointed out that for every one athletic schol arship given, four academic schol arships are denied. ★ ★ ★ Groups at the University of Houston have accused the Hous ton Police Department of being linked with the Ku Klux Klan. Jan Wemess, chairwoman for HCEW, read a prepared state ment to the press which attrib uted recent right-wing terrorist acts to the KKK. The statement said the release of Jimmy Hutto and Louis Beam, “raises serious questions about the relationship between the KKK and the Hous ton Police Department. Beam and Hutto were arrested by police shortly after a bombing threat had been received by KNUZ radio. They were driving around the neighborhood with their car lights off and had in their possession three rifles with ammunition, a portable two-way radio, some flammable liquid and KKK lit erature. The two men were released by police, without charges after questioning. The statement continued with a quotation from Frank Converse, Grand Dragon of the KKK in Texas as saying at a KKK rally, “We have them (members) in the police department, in the sheriff’s department and up in city hall and these people are working to build up the United Klan.” ★ ★ ★ An article in The Rice Thresh er recently stated various alter natives for bringing about the “necessary revisions” to the ap proaches to ecology, war, pov erty, and crime. The article states political ac tion is one alternative but it is “hopelessly stagnated.” Peace marches and antiwar rallies have not worked, but have widened the gaps. “The only alternative that re mains,” the article states, is that “we must refuse to participate in our nation’s imperialistic ag gressions; we must refuse to ac cept exploitation of the environ ment in the name of convenience and profit; we must refuse to send our children to the indoc trination mills that are called public schools; we must refuse our self-destruction.” THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, November 12,19?C BUSIER AGENCY REAL ESTATE • INSURANCE F.XLA-—VeteraM aai I Lmm AHM * JJK)ME-SAVINGS ASSOCIATION Hmm Offk»: Nevada, Me.
