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

that it offers an ‘open air’ 24-

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.
