THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Wednesday, March 10, 1971
Campus briefs
CADET SLOUCH
by jim Earie Authentic still part of class
Jim Bundren of Bryan uses a
still and samples of “white light
ning” to educate police officers
about moonshiners and the haz
ards of illegal alcohol.
Bundren, Alcoholic Beverage
Commission agent for this area,
Monday used a captured still to
show 20 officers how they can
aid investigations into illegal
booze.
The officers are enrolled in the
Brazos Valley Development Coun
cil-sponsored 140-hour basic police
course here.
“People are surprised, but most
law enforcement officers have
never seen a still,” Bundred ex
plained.
He said officers who are able
to identify the characteristics of
the home brew can give vital in
formation to liquor control agents.
Bundren exhibited a still cap
tured 20 miles northeast of Hous
ton last year. The moonshiner
got away.
Bundren said he has found
stills with dead rats and insects
in the mash, and some moonshin
ers use acids to increase yields.

Capp
says young
sneer at radicals
DALLAS (A 5 ) — Cartoonist A1
Capp, a loud and frequent critic
of the younger generation, said
Tuesday high school kids are now
“sneering” at college student
leaders who incite campus violence
and disruptions. He said this was
a very favorable development.
“The high schoolers will not
have any part of their filth of
mind, body and spirit,” the hu
morist and satirist told the 50th
anniversary meeting of the Tex
as Daily Newspaper Association.
While quick to indict campus
radicals, Capp said perhaps only
five per cent of the nation’s col
lege students are “hopelessly de
mented.”
But, he said, “A five-per cent
cancer, in an academic body or
a human body, if not checked,
will eventually kill you.”
Capp closed the three-day pub
lishers convention on a rousing
note, sharpshooting on a variety
of targets such as welfare, poli
ticians, protesters, student draft
deferments and drugs.
He zeroed in on what he called
the “faculty Fagins,” the revo
lutionary-minded university and
college professors who he as
serted are to blame for a “cor
rupted, ; swindled generation.”
He called such radical profes
sors “cheap, weak, cowardly
punks.”
Capp, the creator of the comic
strip L’il Abner, suggested that
any student dissatisfied with the
nation’s universities “has the
right to get the hell out.” He
said the dismissal of a Stanford
professor involved in a campus
protest was a favorable sign.
He also took anthropologist
Margaret Mead to task for her
statement that “marijuana itself
is not harmful.” Capp suggested
that jumping off the Empire State
Building is not in itself harmful,
“but it’s where they both end that
hurts.”
He led off his remarks by ask
ing the youthful members of the
audience to be “gentle” with him
because “I’m not young enough
to know everything.”
Officers and enlisted men for
the 203rd Battalion, Texas State
Guard, are currently being re
cruited by Ira E. Scott, the unit’s
new commander.
Scott, who heads the Police
Training Division of the Engi
neering Extension Service at
Texas A&M, said the headquar
ters will include 10 officers and
seven enlisted men. He is also
staffing four security units in
Bryan, Huntsville, Columbus and
Brenham.
The 203rd Battalion is a part
of the 2nd Defense Group with
headquarters in Houston. Re
assignment of the battalion from
Houston to Bryan is now in proc
ess, Scott said.
“The Texas State Guard is a
part of the State Militia,” Scott
pointed out. “Our main function
is to take charge of Texas Na
tional Guard Armories and all
