berthy, department head during
Adamson’s early years on the
faculty.

Texas A&M coach’s year here,

mer programs in which many
Bryan and College Station youth
learned and became proficient in
swimming. He was instrumental
in the formation in 1941 of the
present College Station Recrea
tion Council.
Adamson, a two-time 100-yard
freestyle national champ, coached
five All-America swimmers, had
SWC champions in 1945 and 1956,

Campus study said outdated
WASHINGTON CP)_In a re
port three members called out
dated, a Senate committee said
Tuesday that campus disorders
have been stirred up by groups
seeking to create “rebellion, rev
olution and eventual destruction
of the ‘system’.”
The Committee on Government
Operations said such groups
have exploited alleged campus
grievances, but that it is impor
tant for the nation’s universities
to set up procedures for dealing
with legitimate complaints.
It called on college adminis
trators to make clear to both
faculty members and students
the standards of conduct expect
ed and the penalties for viola
tions.
The report was criticized by
Sens. Abraham A. Ribicoff, D-
Conn., Charles Percy, R-Ill., and
Jacob K. Javits, R-N.Y. Percy
said it is “clearly out of date,
has been overtaken both by
events and superior treatment of
the subject and might well make
a negative rather than a positive
contribution.”
The report was based on hear
ings conducted from 1967 to 1969
by the committee’s permanent
subcommittee on investigations.
College disorders were reviewed
as part of the panel’s over-all
probe of riots and disorders
around the nation.
“The campuses are a focal
point for groups whose clear mo
tive is to create chaos and an
archy,” the report stated, assert
ing that such groups generated
confrontations by inducing sup
port from “otherwise well-inten
tioned students” on the basis of
some longstanding campus griev
ances.
The report said many leaders
and instigators of campus disor
ders came from other schools
and nonstudents. “Testimony es
tablishes that Students for a
Democratic Society and the
Black Panther party, as well as
affiliates of those organizations
and others of similar philosophy,
are guiding forces in a large per
centage of the campus disrup
tions in recent years,” it said.
The subcommittee studied dis
ruptions at these colleges: Uni
versity of California at Berkeley,
Stanford, Harvard, Columbia,
City College of New York, How
ard, Brooklyn College, North
Carolina Agricultural and Tech
nical State University and Vor-
hees Junior College in Denmark,
S.C.
Chess Club wins tournament

The final result was 141/2 to 9 l /2

The club plans to participate
in a championship tournament in
Houston in April.
The next meeting of the club
will be Thursday at 7 p.m. at
the University Lutheran Student
Center.
