Progressive Rock Music Provided By Student-Operated FM Station j Ab ifru , n -ka T' .S' ‘ Gil AG51E f Military personnel joined A&M students with a sign suggesting the outcome of the Aggie-Army football game. The sign on the Trigon is the work of officers’ wives, Sullen Hamm, Marsha Treat, Aimee Allen and Karon Haas. Cadets refer to officers, when they aren’t within earshot, as “bulls.” By JOY McCLESKEY The only radio station to offer progressive rock in the Bryan- College Station area is run en tirely by students—B-CS FM. The station, created in re sponse to last spring’s platforms from student elections, is located at 103 full stereo FM and is only available on Midwest Video Cable. B-CS FM is on the air 24-hours a day and is being piped into Sbisa Dining Hall. Duncan Din ing Hall will soon receive the piped music service. Official university announce ments will be broadcasted by B- CS FM for on-campus students’ benefits and steps are being tak en to approve the installation of the FM cable in the Krueger- Dunn complex, but a tuner must be purchased in the meantime. Midwest Video will be offering radio-TV cable to 22 dormitory complexes on campus at mid year, as the students at A&M are important to the cable company. Midwest Video has also ex panded this year to include three new local television shows. “Platform”, shown Tuesday nights at 7 p.m. on Midwest Video Channel 9, is a discussion program on a hot-line format where students and viewers may call and voice comments and/or questions to the guest speaker. Student Government President Layne Kruse and Krueger-Dunn head residents and presidents have appeared as guests on the program thus far. Speakers such as Dr. George Beto, president of the State Pris on System and H. Ross Perot appear at 7 p.m. Wednesdays on a political forum show produced by the MSC Public Relations Committee. “Kaleidoscope” offers a bit of entertainment to Midwest Video viewers on Thursdays at 7 p.m. Spotlighted last week were high lights from the Fischer-Spassky chess tournament and a demon stration of famous moves by the Chess Committee. Every employe at Midwest Video is a student at A&M. The company is student responsive in that it offers an ‘open air’ 24- hours a day at 822-7336.” Former A&M Board Hostess Dies In Houston Mrs. W. A.

Massive YC Operation Is Predicted By Perot If the North Vietnamese want to influence U.S. opinion in the November election, they will con duct a massive operation near Da Nang on about Oct. 20, H. Ross Perot predicted Wednesday. “They are watching the polls, looking for the right point in time to make a move,” com mented Perot, who has used money from his ventures in com puters and investment banking to aid the cause of American prisoners of war and missing-in action. “The move will be made about Oct. 20 or thereabout, far enough ahead of the election to have an effect,” Perot hypothesized. “The plan would include cutting High way 1 to the south, infiltrating local militia and the 3rd RVN Division.” Perot said the North Vietna mese believe they will have to negotiate with President Nixon and if they do, they would rather it be before the election. The speaker stressed, in the Political Forum presentation, that the basic problem of the United States’ embroilment in the Vietnam war was, at the first, and continues to be a lack of involvement and lack of knowl edge among the vast majority of American people. “With Ho Chi Minh’s death, one man leadership in North Vietnam came to an end and the Politburo went into operation,” Perot stressed. “Did you know there are act ually factions of their govern ment that want to negotiate peace now ? There are people in their government who feel it would be better in the long-term interests of their country to be an ally of the U.S.,” Perot added. Perot also said there is a mili tary faction in the Politburo which feels there is a military solution to everything and they will fight to the last man with sticks and stones. “The North Vietnames are just waiting for the right time to negotiate with our govern ment,” he said. The peace group wants to negotiate with Presi dent Nixon when he is most vul nerable, when running for re- election, Perot said. The political polls, upon which the North Vietnamese base many of their decisions, show the Pres ident will be re-elected and must protect his image to ensure vic tory. The military group in the Politburo wanted an invasion of the South in the spring, but many of the peace aggitators felt this was going to jeopardise the peace negotiations. “First,” Perot said, “we might be able to win, if we do, there will be no need for any negotia tions. Second, short of winning, we may be able to occupy ground and negotiate from strength. “Third, if we lose, we go back to the demilitarized zone and ne gotiate from there, which is where we were to begin with. Fourth, we must make the move while Nixon is between his China Author of the best-seller, “The Cross and the Switchblade” and founder of one of America’s most successful drug addiction reha bilitation programs, David Wilk- erson, will speak at 7:30 tonight in the Bryan Civic Auditorium. Wilkerson, a minister from Pennsylvania, took his ministry to the slums after realizing he could be of more use there than any where else. His slum ministry began when he was kicked out of a courtroom for defending a group of gang sters in the Michael Farmer mur der trial. It was then that he be came a hero among New York’s 350 teenage groups. Since then, Wilkerson has work- and Russia trips because he won’t be able ti retaliate in force.” Perot noted the Russian and Chinese interest in North Viet nam is wainifig. “Russia is like we are, sick of the war,” he ex plained, “but they too are stuck because of their allies.” With Nixon’s mining of North Vietnamese harbors, the Rus sians were provided wit ha good excuse not to send arms and equipment, Perot noted. “Russia decided to send arms in by the Chinese railroad with the Chinese dedicating the rail road to that purpose.” Then the Chinese told the U.S. they could bomb the railroads right up to the Chinese border with no fear of retaliation on their part, Perot explained. ed with drug addicts, gang mem bers, prostitutes and homosexuals that fester in slum areas. Teen Challenge, was created in 1962 by Wilkerson. It claims a 74 per cent cure rate among he roin users who have completed therapy. Wilkerson says he believes in saying things “the way they are.” He has a straight forward ap proach to sex, alcohol and drug addiction. Wilkerson has pointed out that teenagers in the slums are not as hopeless as some people are led to believe, but they are lost and lonely. He has preached in streets, borrowed churches, tents and hideouts of addicts and gangs to reach these teenagers.

Wilkerson Speaks Tonight Krueger-Dunn Exchange Store Opens The Exchange Store-Commons Branch opened Monday with its first customer appropriately be ing a woman—Dean of Women Toby Schreiber. Exchange Store Manager Chuck Cargill said he thought it was only fitting to have a woman as the first customer in the branch located in the first coed housing complex on campus. “When we first announced that we would have a branch in the Commons, every male employee in the store voluntered to manage it,” Cargill said jokingly. To the disappointment of the male employees, the manager of the Commons Branch will be Mrs. Oneta Schaudies, a ten-year vet eran of Exchange Store service. She will be assisted by coeds from Krueger-Dunn. Prices in the branch will be the same as those in the main store, Cargill added. He empha sized that since the branch is a part of the Exchange Store, all disposable profits from the opera tion will be returned to student activities through the Exchange Store Advisory Committee. Cargill noted the store will handle such items as beauty aids, health aids and patent drugs, school supplies, magazines and paperbacks. Also on hand will be decorative posters, school spirit items, gym wear, windbreakers, gift items, decals, pennants, throw rugs, stationery and greeting cards. No textbooks will be sold in the store. Cargill and Mrs. Schaudies said they would welcome any sug gestions from the branch store customers. University National Bank “On the side of Texas A&M.” —Adv.
