WASHINGTON </P) — The
Supreme Court agreed Tuesday
to take a look at claims by ci-
yjlians and peace groups that
the Army is engaged in uncon
stitutional and speech-inhibiting
spying-
The court acted at the behest
0 f the Justice Department. The
move at least delays a full-dress
[ohetal District Court hearing
into Army spying.
The government will argue
that individuals cannot bring
suit against an Army surveillance
system unless they can show first
that they were spying victims.
1 he case will be considered by
the justices early next year.
The court by then will he up to
full nine-member strength if the
Senate confirms nominees Wil
liam H. Rehnquist and Lewis F.
Powell Jr., both of whom are con
servatives.
I he District Court hearing was
ordered last April by the U.S.
Circuit Court here in a suit filed
by the American Civil Liberties
Union in behalf of seven antiwar
groups, five individuals and the
American P’ederation of State,
County and Municipal Employes.
The Circuit Court called for a
determination of whether Army
spying was unrelated to its “mis
sion as defined by the Constitu
tion.”
The Supreme Court could kill
the suit if it decides to overrule
the Circuit Court. The Justice
Department contends the ACLU
is seeking an advisory opinion on
“indefinite and abstract asser
tions.”
In a 6-1 decision, the high court
barred Montana and all states
from denying welfare assistance
to new residents. The case con
cerned Victor Pease, a ranch
hand who migrated from the state
of Washington and was denied
unemployment benefits in Cas
cade County in 1969 because he
had not lived in Montana for at
least a year.
In a 1969 ruling the court
struck down one-year residence
requirements for welfare pro
grams funded in part by the
federal government. In the Mon
tana case the welfare came en
tirely from county funds.
The ruling said the source of
the money “is irrelevant to the
constitutional principles in
volved,” including the right of
poor people to travel. Chief
Justice Warren E. Burger dis
sented, saying the court should
have heard argument on the is
sues before reaching a decision.
In other actions the court:
—Blocked, 5 to 2, trial of Ar
nold Maxwell Harris in Clark
County, Wash., on a charge of
slaying his infant son since he
has been acquitted of a related
murder. The decision was based
on the double jeopardy provision
of the Fifth Amendment. Burger
and Justice Harry A. Blackmun
dissented.
—Agreed to rule on a Tennes-

see law that requires a defendant
to be the first defense witness if
he chooses to testify for himself.
Kentucky has a similar law.
—Agreed to rule on the juris
diction of federal courts to handle
discharge suits by military re
servists who say they are con
scientious objectors.
—Agreed to decide in a Geor

charged workers can sue for
damages before their grievances
are taken up by the National
Railroad Adjustment Board.

too, and that’s what came out.”
Since that first game in 1950
Esten has never missed a game
as the public address announcer
at Kyle Field, be it high school,
freshman or varsity football.
His football days go beyond his
announcing, however.
In fact, after getting his mas
ter’s degree, Esten started by
coaching high school athletics in
Texas for five years before re
turning to his native New Eng
land where he taught school until
joining the faculty in 1946.
Aside from playing, coaching,
and announcing football, he has
also gotten into the game from
the officials viewpoint and was a
member of the SFOA College Sta
tion chapter until he called it
quits in 1962.
When he came to A&M he had
no idea he would become the
stadium’s announcer. His interest
at the time was his job with the
English Department.
He accepted the task of build
ing up a drama group, the Aggie
players, when he came to A&M.
“I’ve built it into a respectable
organization,” he said. “We now
have 57 hours in theater courses
and also give a teaching certifi
cate in drama.”
None of those was around when
he started.
With 20 years of experience,
Esten knows some of the good
things to success in announcing
is to say as little as possible.
“Don’t tell the obvious. Just
say who’s carrying the ball and
who makes the tackle and shut
up.
“Never second guess an offi
cial. It’s not your job to do that.”
He recalled an instance in a
game during the Aggies’ unbeat
en 1956 season when they were
playing Texas Christian Univer
sity.
The Aggies and Horned Frogs
were playing a toughie that day,
that eventually was decided by a
single point, 7-6, as there was a
dispute on whether TCU crossed
the goal line on one of its drives.
“I didn’t say a word. I figured
if I did it would cause a panic and
we really would get somebody
hurt.
“Some nut tried to come into
my booth and get on the mike
and tell everyone about the tor
nado but I was able to get him
out of the way and everything
went okay.”
Esten works in a small room.
It contains only the machinery
used in the PA system, and its
climatic conditions are not exactly
what you would call ideal, he said.
On his desk is the microphone
and some switches but behind him
is a large machine that controls
the loudness and tone of the
speakers in the stadium.
There are 64 speakers in the
stadium, Esten pointed out.
“In my booth you can’t open any
windows and when the amplifiers
get warmed up during the game
it gets hot.
“There’s one little window at
the top of the booth that will open
but it doesn’t bring enough air
to make a difference.”
Everywhere C. K. Esten goes
people may not know him but
they recognize his voice.
He’s now 63 and nearing re
tirement, but he says when he
retires it probably won’t have any
bearing on his announcing.
“As long as I’ve got a voice,
I guess I’ll keep going.”
He is the voice of Kyle Field.
Movie to feature
African bushmen
A full-length color movie, The
Hunters, will be shown in room
201 of the Veterinary Medicine
school at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The film is about the life and
culture of the Bushmen in South
Africa’s Kalahari Desert. It is
authentic in every detail and rec
ognized as one of the best records
of the original life patterns of
the Bushmen.
