General elections
now facing protest
LD.

Jon is

ve.
Wednesday’s general elections
have been protested.
Charles Hoffman, a member of
the Election Commission, told The
Battalion this morning that “sev
eral protests” had been filed. He
said that he could not remember
the exact number of the protests
or who had filed them. He also
stated that because his “house is
being fumigated” he was unable
to get the protests and names for
The Battalion.
George Walton, president of the
Election Commission was unavail
able for comment.
The Battalion did learn however
that Bill Hartsfield, defeated vice
president candidate for the Stu
dent Senate, had filed a protest
and requested a recount.
“I protested not to try to
change the elections but to show
the inefficiency and ineptitude of
the commission,” Hartsfield said.
He gave two reasons for the
protest. One was that he found
signs saying “Vote the anti-corps
party” posted at Sbisa Dining
Hall with his name on it.
“I resent that ibecause I didn’t
run that kind of a campaign,”
Hartsfield said, “and I had noth
ing to do with that sign.”
The other reason is that he
knows of “one student who voted
without showing a fee slip.”
A meeting to consider the pro
tests will be held by the Election
Commission tonight at 7:30 in the
Social room of the Memorial Stu
dent Center.

Four on Consolidated board
resign after A&M pay cut off
By FRAN ZUPAN
Four members of the A&M
Consolidated School Board resign
ed and were replaced Thursday
night after the Texas A&M Uni
versity System told fiscal officers
to withhold salaries of any em
ployes who holds an elective of
fices.
President Jack K. Williams said
the system’s action was taken
to comply with a ruling of the
state 3rd Court of Civil Appeals
Thursday that six A&M empolyes
cannot draw salaries from the.
state while they also hold elec
tive offices.
Dr. Williams said in a state
ment, “We are advising fiscal
officers of all parts of the Texas
A&M University System to with
hold the salaries for April for
the affected personnel until they
have been replaced in their elec
tive offices by duly sworn suc
cessors.
“This action is necessary to
abide by the court ruling and
conforms precisely with the lan
guage of the ruling.”
Those resigning from the school
board were Lambert H. Wilkes,
associate professor of agriculture
engineering and school board
president; Ed Cooper, assistant to
Williams and vice president of
the school board; Dr. Benton
Storey, associate professor of soil
and crop sciences; and Hoy Rich
ards of the Texas Transportation
Institute.
Each member resigned sepa
rately and was replaced immedi
ately in order to maintain a
quorum. The four new members
were picked by the board after
discussion of quite a few possible
choices, Wilkes said.
Two of the new members, Dick
Hervey of Community Savings
& Loan, and John Longley, an
insuranceman, have served on the
school board before, Wilkes said.
The other new members are
Charles Hensarling, employed by
Hy-Lay Hatcheries, and Richard
(Buck) Weirus of the Former
Students Association at A&M.
Other school board members
are also Dr. O. C. Cooper, physi
cian; Bob Griffin, manager of
Hy-Lay Hatcheries, and Arthur
Vinzant, a barber.
The College Station City Coun
cil members are also affected by
the suit.
Former student,
POW, in ‘Digest’
Divers’ breathing improvement sought by prof
A former student is pictured
and the university efforts for
U. S. prisoriers of war in North
Vietnam are noted in the current
issue of Readers Digest.
The article, “Don’t Ever For
get,” is written by Louis R.
Stockstill, who wrote the original
POW article for Air Force Maga
zine. His story is credited with
the recent efforts to secure hu
mane treatment through letter
campaigns.
Navy Lt. Michael Dunn, a 1963
A&M graduate, is pictured in the
illustrations giving the POW-mis-
sing in action statistics for each
state and territory. Dunn was
shot down over North Vietnam in
January, 1969.
A&M student efforts in the let
ter writing campaign is mentioned
on page 118.
An A&M biology professor is
experimenting with the potential
ly explosive mixture of hydrogen
and oxygen as the life-sustain
ing breathing source 'for deepsea
divers.
Success would represent a ma
jor breakthrough in attempts to
extend his domain into the depths
of the ocean.
The professor, Dr. William P.
Fife now holds the world record
for living under water through
use of the hydrogen-oxygen mix
ture.
Fife recently completed a two-
hour stay in a compression cham
ber at a pressure equal to 200
feet under the sea. Eight days
S* V-' v';:
earlier he underwent a test of
one and one-half hours.
The tests were conducted in the
hyperbaric research laboratory at
the J&J Marin diving Co. in
Pasadena, Tex. Fife is collaborat
ing in the project with Peter Edel,
the firm’s research director.
A mixture of helium and oxy
gen now is used for deepsea div
ing. Experiments have shown
however, that at depths some
where 1,000 and 1,800 feet, he
lium begins to interfere with the
nervous system.
“Man, therefore, probably will
not be able to be exposed to pres
sure below that depth unless a
different gas mixture can be
found,” notes the professor who
served four years as assistant
chief of the Aerospace Medical
Research Division of the Air
Force’s School of Aerospace Med
icine.
Fife believes the hydrogen-oxy
gen mixture will solve the nerv
ous system problem, but it also
presents a problem of its own:
oxygen and hydrogen are highly
explosive when mixed under nor
mal conditions.
Fife notes, however, that below
200 feet a diver needs only three
per cent oxygen in his breathing
mixture, whereas regular air has
21 per cent oxygen.
