The unit may be used in two basic methods of operation, either as a hand held instantaneously ready doppler radar or as a fixed doppler radar for continual moni toring of traffic. Two basic conditions need be met in either case. The first be ing that the officer has observed the suspected vehicle as a prob^ able speeding violation and the second that a stable radar reading be obtained on that vehicle. A stable radar device reading is described as a leading consis tent with the action of the ve hicle being observed when that vehicle is nearest the radar de vice. The reading may be locked in and held for the period of time necessary to establish that rela tionship. The unit is simply aimed at the suspected speeding vehicle and reads accurately the speed of the car, whether it decreases or in creases. Chief Luther said he would be happy to show students how the unit operates, particularly when they have been stopped for a vio lation.

Editor: The relevancy of life has be come a major topic these days. Colleges themselves are leaders in the movement to make life more meaningful, and realistic. It is becoming increasingly evi dent that A&M people are not all farmers. In view of this fact, I move that A&M University folks con sider calling themselves the “RUSTLERS.” Now that’s an honest title! Viva Bevo! Patrice McCullen University of Texas, ’70 Editor: Three cheers for the Aggie steer-ropers. I see by the papers that they caught a scrubby stray called Bevo in their fall round-up. The shaggy, unwashed nesters down on the Colorado River, having no sense of humor, got all stirred up and threatened to call out the rangers! It seems a shame that the folks at Austin can’t take a real Aggie joke! Nolen D.

LOUIS—The acting direc tor of the FBI said Tuesday that the controversial decision to shoot out the tires on a hijacked Southern Airways jetliner in Flo rida was his decision. “I made the decision to abort the flight with the full concur rence of Southern Airways,” act ing Director L.
