School’s
increase-500 yearly
“A&M University intends to continue its
moving, its growing, and its public service,” Dr. Jack
Williams, president of A&M, said Thursday at the
1 annual Bryan-College Station Chamber of Commerce
| banquet held at the Ramada Inn.
Williams was the featured speaker at the
■ banquet honoring the new officers and directors of
I the Chamber.
A&M plans on having 20,000 students by the
[ end of the decade, Williams added. This is a growth
l rate of about 500 per year, he said.
New units are expected to be added to the
I A&M systems, Williams continued, including new
l research and extension services. Plans are also being
I made to combine faculties and programs into
established centers for research, he said. The campus
at Galveston will also be enlarged, he added.
A&M plans to have dorms for women open
soon, Williams said, probably in the fall of ’71.
Williams said that some of the basic ideals held
by alumnae about A&M are that the university
continues to move ahead, the students are not afraid
to be competitive, and that holders of degrees are
proud that they graduated from A&M.
“So long as I am president of A&M University,
I will continue to make these things a reality,” he
added.
A&M and the Bryan-College Station area are
partners, Williams said:
“We have got to have each other.”
He and his family are glad to be a part of
Bryan-College Station, he concluded.

A total of 4,250 traffic tickets
and penalties, which brought in
$11,846, were issued last semes
ter. Compared with previous
years, this number is very low.
In the spring semester of 1970,
6,419 tickets and penalties were
given out. These were worth $16,-
657. The fall semester of Septem
ber ’69 through January ’ 70
brought in 7,477 tickets and pen
alties worth $16,519.
The low number of tickets
could be attributed to the new
system of payment. With each
successive ticket received, the cost
doubles. The first ticket is $2;
the next, $4; until the fifth tick
et, which costs $32. After that,
if a driver receives a ticket, his

‘Alternate jobs’ centers open
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A Harvard senior wants to be
come a farmer. A middle-aged
executive in Washington State
wants to throw over his $30,000-
a-year job and work “with peo
ple.” A girl student at Oberlin
says a job should foster self-
awareness.
New career centers at colleges
and universities across the coun
try are helping such people break
out of their molds and find jobs
that offer personal satisfaction,
if not high salaries.
At the same time they are
providing a source of manpower
for “alternate vocations” rang
ing from social work to under
ground journalism.
“We’re trying to meet the needs
of all segments of the student
body, not just those who choose
to go into the Establishment,”
said Jack Shingleton, placement
director at the University of Mi
chigan.
“We were occasionally getting
students stopping in to inquire
about jobs that were not the tra
ditional type,” said Shingleton,
“and it was pretty obvious we
had some students who were dis
enchanted with Establishment
jobs in general.”
A student committee suggest
ed providing some sort of voca
tional service for those students,
and Shingleton’s placement bu
reau last fall initiated a monthly
newsletter with about five dozen
listings like these:
—An opening at a “coopera
tive school” for a teacher, grades
one through four, to “teach chil
dren as people.” Salary $5,000.
—A woman 21 to 26 years old,
“hip but not hippie,” wanted as
live-in counselor for a house in
Washington that provides tem
porary shelter and counseling for
runaways, helps with drug, fam
ily and pregnancy problems. Sal
ary $50 a week and free rent.
—Jobs for rural health work
ers, draft counselors, accoun
tants, anti-Establishment and un
derground writers.
Shingleton said he had received
Univeraity National Bank
“On the side of Texas A&M.”
—Adv.
about 30 letters from persons and
institutions across the country,
expressing interest in setting up
similar services.
Michigan’s newsletter and al
ternate vocation counseling ef
forts at other schools owe much
to a forerunner, “Vocations for
Social Change,” a bimonthly
newsletter published by members
of a commune in Canyon, Galif.
It contains job listings, craft ap
prenticeship information and ar
ticles of interest to the youth
counterculture.
The editors say America’s worst
problems are caused by the insti
tutions that shape people’s ac
tions and attitudes, and under
this influence they aim “to help
people become involved in radical
ly different work and life styles.”
At some schools interest—at
least tentative interest—in such
vocations runs high. Harvard
learned last year that almost
one quarter of its class of 1970
felt the university’s counseling
was too career-oriented. So it put
Robert J. Ginn, a 24-year-old di
vinity student, in charge of a
special service.
Ginn does not place students
directly but provides information
about social work, free schools,
communes and government jobs
in service fields.
“I just couldn’t face working
for some company that I didn’t
believe in,” said one senior who
recently saw Ginn. “I want to
have a job that means something
to me and to others.”
Scott Glascock, the University
of Washington’s new alternate
vocation counselor, said students
he sees “tend to be negative about
what they want to avoid—big bus
iness or big organizations.” They
tell him, “I want to be free about
what I’m doing and I don’t care
too much about money.”
Glascock said that in the last
six months he had talked with
786 persons interested in non-
Establishment jobs—half of them
alumni like the $30,000-a-year
man.
At Oberlin, in Ohio, a group of
students founded an “other”
placement office with the help
of Mrs. Miriam Kennedy, assist
ant to the director of placement.
The office is dormant this win
ter, but students expect to re
vive it in the spring.
As advisor to the “other” of
fice, Mrs. Kennedy said, “The
ones I have seen most often are
fed up with academia for the
time being. Many of them want
to travel or buy land in Canada
or just find something to dig
into, both literally and figura
tively.”
Some schools that do not have
special services include alternate
vocations with their regular coun
seling. A young counselor at the
University of North Carolina
makes it a specialty on her own
initiative, and Duke University
plans a conference on such ca
reers with help from “Vocations
for Social Change” members.
Nonetheless, as Shingleton puts
it: “I don’t think the Establish
ment is in any great danger of
becoming short of manpower.”
At Michigan, he said, six or
seven students a week come in
to inquire about alternate voca
tions and, “That would compare
to 300 a day actually having in
terviews with companies.”
Oberlin’s “other” office saw
two or three people a day dur
ing the fall, its regular office 18.
In Washington, the six-month to
tal of 785 compares to more than
8,400 served by the regular place
ment center.
Ginn, who sees about 80 Har
vard and Radcliffe students a
month out of some 1,500, said
many of those he talks with want
a “relevant” job “to kill time be
fore going on to more schooling.
. . . Many of them have mixed
motivations and just need to think
things out more clearly.”

Several of the demonstrators,
the long-haired, whiskered type,
gathered in front of the ballroom
where the dinner was held.
The group chanted “power to
the people” and “Agnew is a
murderer.”
Some 100 yards to the south

the “Young Americans for Free

grassy slope. They had a casket

last semester.
Of the tickets issued last se
mester, 4,135 were for parking
violations. These tickets brought
in $11,313. In the spring semes
ter of ’70, there were 5,348 park
ing violations, worth $10,690. The
fall of ’69 brought 6,909 of these
violations and $13,812.
Only 14 tickets were issued
last semester for moving viola
tions. They cost drivers $28. The
spring of ’70 had 70 moving vio
lations worth $210 and the fall
of ’69 had 74 worth $222.
Penalties for tickets which
were paid late numbered 101 last
semester, bringing in $505. The
spring of ’70 had 1,020 penalties
for $5,100. In the fall of ’69, 497
penalties worth $2,485 were given
out.

Memory particle
produced in lab
HOUSTON <A>>—A Baylor Col
lege of Medicine scientist report
ed Thursday the first artificial
production of a memory mole
cule capable of inducing specific
behavior.
Dr. Georges Ungar, professor
of pharmacology, told of experi
ments involving a chemical orig
inally obtained from brains of
rats conditioned to fear darkness.
When injected with the artifi
cially produced chemical, he said,
mice also fear darkness.
Ungar and other Baylor scien
tists said the discovery is signifi
cant because it may lead to the
ability to improve memory or
change behavior.
13 top French nuclear experts
die in mountain plane crash
AUBENAS, France W) — A
plane crash on a snow-covered
peak in Southern France Thurs
day killed 13 of the nation’s top
experts on nuclear weapons and
atomic production.
Eight other persons — a total
of 21 — died when the twin en
gine air force plane slammed into
Gerbier du Jonc peak in a severe
storm.
Search teams battled 6-foot
snowdrifts to reach the crash
site. A helicopter pilot flew over
the scene and said only the tail
was in one piece and there could
have been no survivors.
Security precautions were im
posed in the area to protect any
secret documents aboard the
plane, a Nord 262. Entry and
exit from the nearby town of
Mezilhas was banned.
The plane was on a flight from
Paris to the isotope separation
plant at Pierrelatte for a meet
ing of the scientists to coordinate
projects of the Atomic Energy
Commission — AEC — and the
armed forces.
Two key men aboard were Rear
Adm. Robert Landrin, 55, deputy
chief of staff of the armed forces,
and Jaques Mabile, production
director of the AEC and the man
credited with developing France’s
uranium resources.
Other victims included Gen.
Edouard Billion, 54, head of nu
clear affairs in the arms divi
sion of the Defense Ministry;
Gen. Jean-Marc Pineau, 48, chief
of planning for the chiefs of staff
and three of his senior officers;
Jean la Bussiere, AEC financial
director; Hubert de la Boylaye,
head of the commission’s radio
logical safety division, and George
Tirole, AEC deputy director for
military applications.
The helicopter pilot said the
aircraft apparently had explod
ed on impact and the Defense
Ministry said all 21 person were
dead.
Aviation experts said it was
possible the craft crashed be
cause of icing of the wings in the
heavy storm.
