ccompanied by J. Harold

ill be formally recognized at the
>rps of Cadets Parents’ Day re-
iw at 2:30 p.m. Sunday.

>nday morning and lunch with
imbers of the institution’s board
directors before returning to
marillo Monday afternoon.
Dr. May, TAMU history pro-
isor, is writing Judge Jones’
igraphy.
The colorful 86-year-old former
armaker and jurist was a mem-
r of the U. S. House of Repre-
utatives’ Agriculture Commit-
i for 20 years and its chairman
r nearly a decade. During that
He he sponsored sorhe of the
>st significant agricultural leg
ation in the nation’s history.
For more than two hours the
hijacker, at his insistence to “tell
my story,” had been interviewed
by three radio and television
newsmen at Los Angeles Inter
national Airport.
To a live audience of thousands
around Los Angeles, he com
plained about injustices suffered
by the poor.
The Spanish-speaking hijacker
was interviewed aboard the plane
at an isolated section of the air
port, where it had landed several
hours before.
The other 27 passengers were
let off the plane about 12:50 p m.,
about 2% hours after the plane
landed. Their release followed
police negotiations with the hi
jacker on a two-way radio.
“There are no threats,” a po
lice officer said. “He said he
doesn’t want to be violent, but
that he doesn’t care what hap
pens to him.” The plane had
originated in Minot, N. D., and
stopped in Bismark, N. D.; Rapid
City, S. D., Denver and Albuquer
que, N. M., and was headed for
Phoenix, Ariz., when it was hi
jacked.
Airline spokesmen in Albuquer
que said Frontier did not have
its metal scanning device—used
to detect armed passengers while
loading—operating Thursday.
At 9:30 a. m. Mountain Stand
ard Time, the official said, the
pilot radioed: “We have a cus
tomer on board who wants to go
to Los Angeles. And that is where
we are going.”
When the plane landed in Los
Angeles, police said, the hijacker
demanded to talk to newsmen for
two hours and to see a Los An- 1
geles police artist, Ector Garcia.
It was Garcia’s day off but he
later was located and flown to the
airport by helicopter.
Police Sgt. Dan Cooke said the
hijacker had said he would “hand
his gun to the pilot and surren
der” after talking to two Spanish
speaking newsmen.
Tomas Z. Gonzalez of KWKW
in Pasadena, and Guillermo Res-
trepo of station KMEX went
aboard.
Garcia, the police artist, re
mained in a car parked along
side the plane.
New dorm visitation policy
to bring more open hours
The Civilian Student Council Thursday night gave final
approval to a new civilian dorm visitation policy and opened
the gates for a possible policy that would allow 24-hour,
seven-day-a-week open dorms.
Passed unanimously and with full university approval
was a policy opening the dorms from 12 noon to 10 p.m.
Sunday through Thursday and from 12 noon to 2 am. Friday
and Saturday.
Each dormitory would have its own local option. Either
the dorm students or the dorm council would decide which
hours the dorm would be open.
“The administration was very responsive in working on
it,” said Bill Hatherill, chairman of the CSC committee
working on the visitation policies.
Also approved, by a straw vote, was a 24-hour, seven-
day-a-week policy for the civilian dorms. Under this policy the
dorm could either be open to visitation at all times or it could
establish its own poUcy.
“We think this would make things much better for the
dormitories,” said Hatherill. “It will make visitation policy
enforcement easier since the students would be setting their
own bounds. It will also make dorm life more appealing when
compared with off-campus living.”

Noyes, war critic, coming to TAMU
Dr. H. Pierre Noyes, nuclear
physicist who severely criticized
scientific support of the techno
logical war in Southeast Asia, will
speak Thursday at A&M.
He believes there is no military
way out of current difficulties.
Head of the theoretical physics
group, Stanford Linear Acceler
ator Center, Noyes will appear at
noon in the Memorial Student
Center Assembly Room.
His public-free talk, “The Re
sponsibility of Science in Govern
ment,” is under auspices of Po
litical Forum and the Science and
Technology Lecture Series, sup
ported by an S&H Foundation
grant.
Dr. Noyes attacked war tech
nology in a pre-arranged speech
before the American Physical
Society at Washington, D. C., last
April. He was spokesman for
anti-war scientists at the meeting.
He opposed the electronic bat
tlefield and computers that “de
fine anything which moves an
enemy,” cluster bombs that “put
a lethal fragment into every
square foot of a 25-acre area,”
and stabilized platforms that al
low accurate fire from helicopters
against rural populations to
“keep the loss of American lives
at an ‘acceptable’ level.”
“Whatever, the legal details,
the moral imperative is unambig
uous,” Noyes declared. “We must
use every means at our disposal,
not only to end this war, but also
to end those aspects of our insti
tutions which made it possible.”
He also criticized all three
branches of the U. S. government
for failure to examine and act
on Constitutional illegalities of
the Southeast Asia conflict.
A graduate of Harvard and the
University of California at Berke
ley, the 48-year-old scientist has
been at Stanford since 1962. He
was on the staffs of MIT and
California radiation labs before
entering math-physics study in
England as a Fulbright grantee
in 1950-51.
Noyes was physics professor at
the University of Rochester four
years and a physicist and group
leader at the Lawrence Radiation
Lab seven years before taking
the Stanford post.
