Grad student, past prof
die on Sunday, Monday
Kenneth W. Craig of Jasper,
A&M graduate student, was
killed early Sunday morning in
a one-car accident and, in an
other unrelated death, Arthur
C. (Art) Adamson, retired A&M
swimming coach, died Monday
afternoon in a local hospital.
University officials said the
car driven by Craig veered off
the road and plunged into a cul
vert as he was returning from
a camping trip about 2 a. m.
He was the only occupant of the
vehicle.
Funeral services were held
Monday afternoon at the String
er Funeral Home in Jasper.
Adamson, 67, taught in the
Health and Physical Education
Department for 32 years and
coached 34 Aggie swim teams.
In 1941 he helped found the
College Station Recreation
Council.
The two-time national 100-
yard freestyle champion coached
five All-American swimmers,
had Southwest Conference
championships in 1945 and 1956,
shared the championship in 1944
and fielded national water' polo
champs in 1939 and 1965.
In naming the coach Professor
Emeritus last March, President
Jack Williams noted Adamson
“leaves his mark on this Uni
versity. It will he evident for
many years to come.”
Funeral services for Adamson
will be held at 2 p. m. Wednes
day in the Hillier Chapel.
Director Fred Dollar explained.
Lounge furniture, which was
discarded by other campus de
partments and some pieces ob
tained with premium stamps
given by a manufacturer during
the 1940’s, was refinished to pro
vide a comfortable waiting area.
“The old hotel approach to
cordial, relaxed dining has been
lost in society’s race for speed
and efficiency,” Dollar said. “Al
though it may be a bit nostalgic,
we hope our parlor area will
again promote an atmosphere of
congeniality to be enjoyed by our
patrons.”
Table lamps, glass tables and
stands, ashtrays and a love seat
were obtained to accentuate the
lounge area, through redemption
of trading stamps contributed by
a national food manufacturing
firm.
A cedar partition was designed
and built by food service per
sonnel to divide the dining area
from the serving line. Several
portable screens were devised to
isolate four semi-private dining
rooms.
“These rooms can accommodate
29 to 50 people wishing to dine
together and may be reserved by
calling Mrs. Ruth Larsen, man
ager of the cafeteria,” Dollar
said.
A touch of A&M memorabilia
Surviving Soledad brothers
acquitted of murder charges
entered into the project. “The
light cluster at the entrance to
the serving line consists of lights
first used on the south entrance
to Sbisa Hall when it was built
in 1912,” Dollar said. “The re
furbished dining chairs are rem
nants from the days of the horse
soldier at A&M. Crosspieces
under the chair seats were de
signed as racks for cadet cam
paign hats worn in those days.
Other items of decor were col
lected over the years or were
contributed by A&M personnel,
such as a decorative driftwood
form salvaged from the Perde
nales River.
Dollar emphasized that changes
in the dining area were minor
in comparison to the major exca
vation project. “When the need
for modern dressing facilities for
food service personnel was recog
nized, it was decided to complete
excavation initially designed to
provide storage prior to World
War II,” Dollar said.
Dressing rooms to accommodate
50 male and 50 female employes
were the result. Additional stor
age space was gained and new
food preparation equipment for
Peniston was installed.
Peniston is open from 9:30 to
1:30, Monday through Friday
and from 11:00 to 1:30 on Sun
day. When expansion forces the
Memorial Student Center dining
facilites to temporarily close,
Peniston will serve three meals
a day.
SAN FRANCISCO UP) _ An
all-white jury Monday acquitted
Hie two surviving Soledad Broth-
ers, black convicts charged with
murdering a white prison guard.
The two—John Clutchette and
Reeta Drumgo — and George
Jackson, a third Soledad Brother
'vlio died in San Quentin violence
last Aug. 21, are the prisoners
Angela Davis is charged with
Plotting to free.
“The verdict is beautiful” Miss
Davis said in San Jose where
the black Communist militant is
on trial for kidnap conspiracy
and murder.
She is charged with providing
the weapons for an Aug. 7, 1970,
Marin County courtroom break
attempt in which a judge and
three abductors died. The prose
cution contends the purpose was
to ransom freedom for the three
Soledad Brothers.
Clutchette, 28, and Drumgo, 26.
were accused with Jackson, 28,
of beating guard John V. Mills
to death Jan. 16, 1970, at Soledad
Prison in Monterey County.
White is keynote speaker
for Sea Grant ceremonies
Robert M. White, administrator
the National Oceanic and At
mospheric Administration, will be
keynote speaker at April 6 dedi-
tation ceremonies honoring A&M
“s a Sea Grant College.
The 9:30 a.m. ceremony opens
Texas Sea Grant College Day at
University National Bank
“On the side of Texas A&M.”
—Adv.
the Zachry Engineering Center
and is part of the university’s
observance of Environmental Ed
ucation Week in Texas declared
by Gov. Preston Smith.
White’s address will be pre
ceded by a coffee at 9 a.m. in the
foyer of the engineering center
where guests are invited to view
exhibits of the work of the
TAMU Sea Grant Program.
Jackson, whose book of letters
from prison became an under
ground best seller, died with three
white guards and two white con
victs in what prison authorities
called an escape attempt.
The Superior Court jury had
deliberated the case since Fri
day night.
When the innocent verdicts
were read, Clutchette and Drum-
go jumped up and hugged their
court-appointed attorneys—Rich
ard Silver and Floyd Silliman.
“But our fight is not over.
Fleeta has been indicted for what
happened at San Quentin when
George Jackson died. So we have
to keep on fighting,” Inez Wil
liams, Drumgo’s mother, said.
Drumgo is charged with murder
in the Marin County indictment
stemming from the San Quentin
violence.
The assault in which Mills died
came three days after three black
Soledad convicts were killed by
the gunfire of guards seeking to
break up a prison yard melee
among black and white prisoners.
The prosecution contended that
Mills was beaten with his own
flashlight and then tossed from
a cell tier to a concrete floor
three floors below.

TAMU Fish Drill Team
wins state championship
State championship honors were
claimed Saturday by A&M’s Fish
Drill Team, defending national
champion.
New Mexico Military Institute,
the University of Houston and
Texas A&I made strong runs for
the first state crown.
Near-perfect precision march
ing by the TAMU team held off
aspirants. The Fish scored 534
out of 600 possible points in the
final round of the three-phase
competition sponsored by the
Texas Adjutant General Depart
ment and TAMU’s Association of
Former Fish Drill Team Members.
Texas A&I won here last year,
jk
r
before the competition was ap
proved as the state championship
meet.
The Fish, commanded by Mark
Roberts of Killeen, also won first
places in inspection, basic and
tandem marching, sweeping the
top prizes. New Mexico, Houston,
St. Mary’s University and A&I
also captured awards.
Marine Corps officers of Aus
tin, Houston and San Antonio,
headed by Maj. Dorsey Page,
scored the competition.
“There is no doubt in my mind
that the champion of Texas will
go on to become national cham
pion,” commented Col. Vernon N.
Scofield, X’epresenting Gov. Pres
ton Smith, and the state AG.
A&M and Texas A&I fought it
out for the national title last
spring in Washington, D. C.
“On behalf of all the sponsors
and cadet advisors of the Fish
Drill Team, especially Louis Ull
rich who designed the drill, I’d
like to say that all of us are
extremely proud of today’s per
formance by the team,” sponsor
J. Malon Southerland said.
“In my personal estimation,
their fancy sequence today was
the outstanding fancy drill I have
seen on the A&M drill field,” he
added. “On to Washington.”
