JACKSON Renalt Robinson of the Afro- American Patrolman’s League and David Durk of the New York Police Department argued the pros and cons of present police practices during an open forum at UH last week. Both policemen agreed there was a need for reform but dis agreed on the method. Durk said he believes reforming the system could only come about through individual reform. “Good people can only be goaded into action by a tangible experience with injustice,” Durk said. The press and other media can aid in this reform by drawing attention to police failings, he added. Robinson described several re forms he thought were needed for the police system. “First, we need to cut out the type of police recruitment we now have,” he said. through the ranks, he would be placed in the position for which he is well qualified. ★ ★ ★ Maj. Gen. Sad Sack and Lt. Col. Sadie Sack appeared in a per formance last week at the Uni versity of Southern Louisiana coffee house, according to the student newspaper there. The duo’s performance was described as stimulating, satiri cal, and unusually realistic. Maj. Gen. Sack, according to the article, became a member of the 59th Division of the 3rd Squadron, who gained fame for wiping out an entire Indian Res ervation in Arizona during the War on Poverty. In 1954 he was promoted to major general be cause, as he put it, “I am the only one who didn’t know what I was doing and admitted it.” abandoning his plane over New York state during the steel work ers’ battle with the hippies in that state. ★ ★ ★ Ralph Nader, crusader against consumer fraud and deceit, spoke to a crowd of 1500 last month at the University of Las Vegas, ac cording to the school newspaper. Nader pointed to the large auto “infernal combustion engine” as those mainly responsible for the environmental pollution of the country. It took people a long time to wake up to the problem because “the assault is silent” and the cumulative effect of this crime “shows up years later in the form of cancer and emphysema,” Nader claimed. The government, whose “value system is screwed up,” believes in the importance of the goods and services and employment corporations provide, so they are allowed to destroy, he said. Not bothering to not destroy is profit able, he noted. Robinson advocated lateral en try of men into the police force. This means that instead of a man having to work his way up Lt Col. Sack, with her unearth ly physique, came to fame when she served as nurse to Snoopy in his fight against the Red Baron.

TWYFORD, England 0P)_The phantom stripper is causing traf fic jams at 3 a.m. in the tiny lanes around this country village. The stripper is a curvaceous mystery teen-ager who disrobes by moonlight and poses for pass ing motorists at the edge of the roads around Twyford, a farming village. Three times in the last month the moonlit nude has loomed into receives CS rating boost the headlights of startled motor ists. The last time she was spot ted she was adorned only with boots and a red umbrella. Now eager nude spotters are prowling the lanes of Twyford hoping for another glimpse. “Even if we catch her we don’t know what to charge her with,” said a police officer. “We can’t call it indecent exposure because under the law a person has to expose himself—or herself—with intent to insult a female. So far the phantom stripper has only shown herself to male motorists —and they haven’t complained.” The City of College Station has gained a five (5) per cent fire record credit from the State Board of Insurance, Mayor D. A. “Andy” Anderson reported today. The credit rating, the mayor said, was effective April 1 and will be applied to any insurance policy issued at that time. It is based on fire losses over prem iums paid. It does indicate, Ander son said, that the city’s fire rec ord is getting better. It is now up to fifteen (15) per cent. Of importance, he noted, is the gradual decrease in home owners’ premium. ClK Battalion Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.
