Texas A&M’s hid for a college
of law got a shot in the arm
Monday night when Houston at
torney Percy Foreman said “law
would profit” from an association
with the university.
“A law school would do this
college a great service,” Foreman
told the Law Day audience at the
MSC, “and the university would
do law schools a great service.”
The noted criminal defense at
torney declared he “certainly
would” support TAMU attempts
to establish a law program. The
institution’s board of directors in
February directed administrators
to plan for establishment of a law
college and submit the proposal
to the Coordinating Board, Texas
College and University System.
Foreman made the comments
during a question-answer session
which followed what he called “a
voice crying in the wilderness”
for individual freedoms over cen
tral government controls.'
Included in the Brazos County
Bar Association-sponsored pro
gram was presentation of the Lib
erty Bell Award to Bryan Police
Sgt. Mike Orozco, a 12-year vet
eran lauded for his work and ded
ication to young people.
Foreman said the United States
is the only country in the world
with fundamental individual
rights guaranteed in writing.
Quoting the late Justice William E.
Gladstone, Foreman said “if we
lose our liberty it will not be to a
foreign government, but to our
government.”
Foreman reminded the Consti
tution protects every man’s lib
erty.
He noted it would be much
easier for law enforcement if an
arrested man were carried direct
ly to the pen, or if a man was
guilty until he proved himself
innocent, or if a defendant had

Carr, 51, has been an officer
and director of over 20 corpora
tions. He entered the airline bus
iness following World War II
service, first as assistant direc
tor of route development for
Trans World Airlines, Inc., and
later with Wisconsin Central Air
lines, Inc,
He has been a consultant to the
Secretary of Navy, Department
of Air Force, Department of
Commerce and a member of the
management consultant firm of
McKinsey and Co. of New York
City.
In 1955, he was nominated as
a candidate for one of Ten Out
standing Young Men in America
by the U. S. Jaycees.
Haynes, 46, is a Fort Worth
native who joined Standard Oil of
California (SoCal) in 1947 as pro
ducing staff engineer. He holds
a civil engineering degree from
Texas A&M, awarded in 1946 aft
er serving as a commissioned Na
vy officer during World War II.
Haynes’ work with SoCal has
(included assignments as chief
production engineer, vice presi
dent of the company’s Venezue
lan operations, vice president and
director, and in 1969, at age 43,
president of the sixth largest
oil company in the world.
Haynes is a director of the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce
and the Bay Area Council. In
1970, Chevron Oil honored Haynes
by christening its newest ocean
going tanker the “SS H. J.
Haynes.”
He received the 1971 John Rog
ers Award at the 11th annual In
stitute on Exploration and Eco
nomics of the Petroleum Indus
try.
Dr. Varner, 55, has been presi
dent of the 33,000-student Uni
versity of Nebraska System since
Feb. 1, 1970. After graduation
from Texas A&M in 1940, he
became assistant to the president
of the Federal Land Bank of
Houston.
During World War II he served
four years and was separated with
the rank of lieutenant colonel with
European Theatre decorations.
From 1959 to 1971 Varner was
chancellor of Oakland (Mich.)
University. He has honorary doc
toral degrees from Saginaw Val
ley College, Olivet College, Oak

County Judge Bill Vance in
formed student body president
Layne Kruse Monday that the
Commissioners Court will be un
able to put a voting box on the
A&M campus for the May 6 pri
mary election.
Earlier in the year the Student
Senate had passed a resolution
asking for a change in the pre
cinct lines or a change of the lo
cation of the polling place for the
upcoming election.
Last week the Student Senate
presented a resolution to the Col
lege Station City Council request
ing an on-campus polling place
for city elections. In this resolu
tion, the senate asked that county
laws be followed in the division
of city voting wards.
The City Council agreed to
work with the county officials in
establishing a new voting ward
and placed it on the May council
agenda. This would permit stu
dents to vote in city, county and
state elections on campus.
Judge Vance emphasized that
he would be unable to change
the precinct lines until the July
or August meeting of the Com
missioners Court. These two
months make up the period stip
ulated by the Texas election code
for such modification.
He added that only one polling
place can be allowed per precinct.
For A&M it will be the A&M Con
solidated High School band hall.
The Student Senate had pro
tested the location of the voting
box and the make up of the college
precinct on the grounds that it
violated Section 2.04 of the State
Election Code.
The law states that each vot
ing precinct will have no more
than 2,000 qualified voters if pa
per ballots are used and no more
than 3,000 voters if machines are
used.
Precinct 9, which includes A&M
has 3,712 registered voters.
Earlier Kruse was advised by
the office of the Secretary of
State in Austin that this is a
common occurrence in precincts
throughout the state, although it
is in violation of the State Elec
tion Code.
Kruse said several campuses
are being allowed to have polling
places for the May 6 election.
Kruse said he will pursue the
matter for the June 6 run-off
elections since students will be
on campus for summer school.

Hoover dead
at age 77
WASHINGTON <A>) — J. Edgar
Hoover, director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation since
1924, died Monday night at his
home at the age of 77, the Justice
Department announced.
Hoover, the nation’s chief law
officer for 48 years, had become
a legend in the United States,
shaping the FBI into a massive,
powerful federal agency.
Acting Atty. Gen. Richard
Kleindienst issued a one-para
graph statement in which he said
Hoover’s body was found by his
maid at approximately 8:30 a.m.
today.
Students attending the first
summer school session may sign
up for rooms this week in the
housing office.
Mclnnis, Moore, Crocker, and
ramps B, D, & E of Hart will
be open for male undergraduate
students. Fowler Hall will house
women and Keathley will be re
served for vocational training
and special students. Schumacher
Hall will house veterinary med
icine, graduate, and international
students only.
Students living in the above
residence halls wishing to reserve
the room they now occupy may
sign up in the housing office
through 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Other students will reserve
rooms on a first-come, first-
served basis, beginning Thursday,
and continuing through Friday.
All residence halls except Schu
macher, Hughes, and ramps B,
D, & E of Hart will be closed and
locked at 6 p.m. Friday, May 12.
Students may obtain accommoda
tions in Hughes Hall for the three
weeks between terms beginning
May 8 through May 12. Room
rent will be $2 per day for this
period.
Summer residents of Schu
macher and Hart will also sign
up for accommodations between
terms and pay rent at the housing
office at the times listed above.
Students who reserve rooms but
cancel them after May 15 will
forfeit their room deposits.

if a prosecuting attorney select
ed the defense attorney.
“We in America take our bless
ings for granted,” he charged.
“We take lightly, as we do the
air we breath or the water we
drink, our rights to think and
speak and aspire for betterment
of ourselves.”
He said in this century Ameri
ca has marched millions of boys
to the battlefield to offer their
lives that liberty might live.
“The trouble in this country,”
he continued, “is too many people
are ready to die for it and not
enough are willing to live for it.”
Foreman said he fights for
rights every day in the court
room.
He acknowledged a question
frequently asked is: ‘but what
about the rights of society?’
“My answer is, if the blackest
crinimal on earth, the worst one,
if he has no rights under the
law, then no man has.”
Foreman stressed if one starts
deciding who has the right of
trial “then we are not a govern
ment of laws, but a government
of men.”
He insisted there have been no
new law concepts in the Supreme
Court decisions of the 1960s, what
is known as the “Warren Court
Years.”
He said every right now en
forced at the state level has been
the right of all men in a federal
court since 1971.
Foreman called recent Supreme
Court rulings an extension of the
states of federal court rights de
fendants were denied until 1961
because of a reluctance to inter
fere with state constitutions.
In 1961, Foreman said, five of
the nine men on the high court
finally believed as much in the
right of the individual as in prop
erty rights.
Foreman cautioned that law
and order campaign pledges are
“a threat to the liberty of every
man and woman in America.”
He quipped, “I should know be
cause I dedicated my life to dis
prove the slogan crime doesn’t
pay.”
In answer to a question on the
death penalty, Foreman said “the
state has no more right to mur
der than an individual.”
He favors long prison terms,
because “no one has yet come
back to say it (the death pen
alty) is a punishment.”
Foreman told the audience he
has a great respect for Texas
A&M and that his 14-year-old
daughter wanted to be an Aggie
to study veterinary medicine.
“It is with profound personal
grief that I announce that J.
Edgar Hoover passed away dur
ing the night at his residence,”
Kleindienst said. “His personal
physician informed me that his
death was due to natural causes.”
The jut-jawed FBI head was
permitted by presidential order
to continue in his $42,500-a-year
government job after reaching
the mandatory retirement age of
70.
Hoover, unmarried, dominated
the bureau during his lifetime as
no man in any other federal
agency. Wielding vast power, he
was said to lavish on the FBI
the pride and possessiveness of a
stern and watchful parent.
He joined the bureau as its
acting director in 1921 after sev
eral years as a $990-a-year Jus
tice Department law clerk, and
became director three years later.
Bom in Washington, D.C., on Jan.
1, 1895, Hoover received his law
degree from George Washington
University and lived all his life in
the District of Columbia.
He had a fondness for dogs,
for his garden and for horse
racing, confining himself to two-
dollar bets. But nothing trans
cended his devotion for the FBI.
