Civilian Week must be going great!” Listen up Standard listed Editor: In Paris on May 17, Texas A&M has a chance to show the world that it is concerned about the American POWs and MIAs. For our concern to have a last ing effect on campus, it seems that the representative should be someone who will be active in student government next year. Whether or not this is feasible in the selection of our representa tive, I would propose one more, greater qualification. That is, a belief in the program. In The Battalion, March 31, Kent Caper- ton says, “Philosophically, I am not attuned to this sort of thing, but it is a valid cause.” I would raise doubt as to his effectiveness as our representative. Jack Cumpton ’59 will represent the B-CS Jaycees, Larry Locke ’63 the Brazos County A&M Club and Connie Eckard ’55 the Asso ciation of Former Students, so let us send an equally qualified and sincere Aggie to compliment this contingent, and not one that will be an Aggie-Ex by May 17.

A self-avowed youngster at 77 years, he sports long, wavy, white hair and beard, doesn’t like the Vietnam war and is an emphatic lover of life. Born in Concrete, Tex., and a farmer in Yoakum for 20 years, North’s adventures include a stint in the Navy during World War I and service in the Mer chant Marine during World War II. “I don’t use much punctuation, like commas and periods. I write the way the Old Testament was written,” he said. North’s other travels have tak en him to Italy, France, Eng land, the West Indies, Central and South America. “I just live on the road,” he explains. “If I get tired, I go to sleep under a tree. If it’s cold and I wake up, I jog to get warm.” Meeting with warm receptions at TU, North entertained five English classes with his verse. As North sang his poems on the Texas Union patio, a sweet young thing squealed with de light. “You’re fantastic,” she cried. The vagabond poet beamed. North’s most vocal admirer had to leave but not before bestow ing a large hug and several kisses. “Her tongue was so sweet,” North said with a grin. * * * * “Vietnamization is not designed to wind down the war. It is de signed to wind down antiwar sentiment,” said John Froines, according to an article in The Shorthorn, student newspaper at UT-Arlington. Froines, one of the Chicago Seven defendants who has been on a campus speaking tour for promoting the People’s Peace Treaty, is a former University of Oregon chemistry professor. He was sponsored at UT-Arling ton by the Veterans for Peace.
