William F. Buckley Discusses Free Market, Abortion And War
By ROD SPEER
News Editor
#•0 “I don’t know any society dom-
A U inated by economic motivation,”
; laid William F. Buckley Jr. Wed
nesday night in defense of cer-
A&PeSij tain liberal claims about the
ooperw United States.
S events,*, a Great Issues crowd of about
08 MdAlIoOO was on hand in G. Rollie
inst Te ^hite Coliseum to hear the elo
quent conservative and his en
riched vocabulary.
Buckley attacked the concept
that the Free Market encourages
aggression as in the case of the
U. S. role in Indochina.
Buckley believes there is wide
spread hostility in the U. S. to
ward the free market. “The tar
get of the season is the price
system,” he said.
J
“While we are here tonight,
others meet elsewhere to deplore
the free market,” Buckley said,
not altering his voice from his
characteristic low monotone. He
added that in Russia the only
free market is the black market
and people can only listen to cer
tain radio programs in secrecy at
a tremendous risk.
Concerning the cease-fire, the
48-year-old lecturer and author
said, “We have aquitted our
selves honorably. I can’t project
if South Vietnam will be free but
we have gone as far as we can
go with realistic moves.”
Buckley admitted the war was
badly executed and felt it could
have been finished eight years
ago.
In a televised press interview
earlier in the evening at KAMU-
TV, Buckley said he was “suspi
cious” of the peace agreement
and it will take a “certain amount
of good faith” among constitu
ents to work.
“We have put pressure on the
Soviet Union and China and the
pressure was passed on to North
Vietnam,” he told newsmen. He
added that there has been a prob
lem with the succession of power
in Hanoi since the death of Ho
Chi Minh and he feels the North
Vietnamese would rather “freeze”
the situation rather than risk in
ternal conflict.
Buckley said the U.S. would
ignore a “trivial” breach of the
cease-fire agreement, but he
doesn’t know what would hap
pen if a major breach occurred.
“I’m sure Nixon and North
Vietnam don’t know either at
this time,” he confided.
During the question - and - an
swer session following the lec
ture Buckley criticized the Su
preme Court for taking a liberal
stand on the abortion question.
“I don’t know who conferred theo
logical powers on the Supreme
Court to decide at what time a
fetus is entitled to certain
rights.” Buckley, a Roman Cath
olic, said the high court was not
acting within its constitutional
limits.
“A free press is the primary
bastion of human liberty,” Buck-
ley said in reference to the im
prisonment of reporters for not
revealing private sources in
court. Buckley did not attempt
to defend a reporter’s right to
secrecy but admitted that, un
fortunately, “we can’t have a per
fectly free press and perfectly
free trial. No doubt it will hap
pen again.”
The nationally-syndicated col
umnist believes an all-volunt r
army could work in the U. S. it
has worked for centuries,” he
said. “In fact, Europe has had
only a few conscription armies.”
Buckley, who was dressed in a
grey suit and white shirt, fin
ished his lecture with a biblical
quote. His religious philosophy
was evident throughout the pres
entation. Concerning the un
known in science, he said, “I have
to lean toward a religious expla
nation of things.”

India Group
To Celebrate
The A&M India Association
will celebrate its annual India
Night at 7:30 tonight in the Me
morial Student Center Ballroom.
This celebration falls on the
25th anniversary of India’s inde
pendence.
Jim Holman, editor of the
“Bryan Daily Eagle” will speak
on the “Press Today”. There will
also be a short Indian dance and
music program, displays of na
tive handicraft, and a social hour
following the program.
The Silver jubilee will celebrate
India’s independence in 1947 un
der Mahatma Ghandi and its
achievements since them. Despite

at 8 p.m.
The 1972-73 touring company
will offer a totally different look
than the 18-member group that
danced here last spring.
New talent and polished, sea
soned artists have joined the
company. The latter bring ex
perience gained from such com
panies as the American Ballet
Theatre, Royal Winnigeg, San
Francisco and Finnish Ballets
and the National Ballet of Wash
ington.
A new staff is headed by Gen
eral Director Henry Holth. It
includes Charles Rosekrans, to
direct the company’s own orches
tra. The Houston Ballet this sea
son has conducted a regular and’
continuing series of performances
at Jones Hall. A Christmas spe
cial was the full-length “Nut
cracker Suite.”
Four works are to be staged for
the Bryan program, announced
Town Hall Chairman Philip Good
win of Midland. They are
“Through A Glass Lightly,” a
surrealistic drama performed to
a taped musical collage; “Capri-
chos,” a ballet in four episodes
based on Goya’s commentaries to
his “Caprichos” etchings; the
“Pas de Deux” Tchaikovsky wrote
for but never used with “Swan
Lake,” and the standard “Pa-
quita,” first seen in Paris in 1846.
Goodwin reminded that sepa
rate admissions are required for
TAMU Specials. No season
passes are honored. Tickets are
on sale at the Student Program
Office in the Memorial Student
Center.
Miss Arvola and Ahonen, both
of Finnish birth, danced with the
Finnish Ballet and most recently
with the San Francisco Ballet.
The duo gave their own dance
concert at the Seattle Playhouse
in 1970, dancing six different Pas
de Deuxs. Miss Arvola received
the Bronze Medal in the sixth
Ballet since its formation; Leslie
Peck of New York, Anthony
Santiago from seven years with
the Metropolitan Opera Ballet’s
School and company in New York,
and Jerry Schwender, New York-
trained Houstonian and husband
of Leslie Peck.
The enlarged company toured
with the Houston Symphony in
South Texas, gave public-free
performances in the Miller Out
door Theatre and went back on
the road to Oklahoma, Louisiana,
Texas and Kansas before opening
“The Nutcracker.” Now back in
Jones Hall for repertory presen
tations, the group will join with
the San Antonio Symphony for a
week South Texas tour in the
spring.

Proposed service and financing
arrangements for the 1973-74
Shuttle Bus operation have been
accepted by the Shuttle Bus Com
mittee and will now be forwarded
to the president of the university
and the Student Senate for their
approval.
The proposal includes the use
of 10 buses on four different
routes including two buses on an
inner-campus periphery route,
one bus to Hensel-College View,
five buses on Route 2 (Monaco,
Barcelona, Tanglewood, Planta
tion Oaks, etc.) and two buses to
the North Gate apartments. The
10 buses will total 55 hours per
week per bus.
Approximately $120,000 will be
needed to support the nine-month
operation with an estimated $66,-
000 coming from the Student
Service Fee. A user fee of $18
per year would be combined with
the Student Service Fee to help
fund the bus operation.
“It could occur that the $66,000
would not fit into the 1973-74
budget,” said Layne Kruse, Stu
dent Government president. “The
Senate will also decide if an
inner-campus bus is feasible at
this time.”
“The concept is that we pro
vide some type of inner-campus
service in order that some aspect
of the service be available to all
students,” said Kent Caperton,
committee chairman.
Any student with an I.D. would
be able to ride the inner-campus
periphery route while buses go
ing off-campus would either re
quire the $18 user fee or a sep
arate coupon. A coupon book
would be available for occasional
student riders at 10 rides for
$1.50 and non-student riders for
$2.
A faculty-staff bus pass would
cost $22 for the nine-month per
iod. It was also proposed and
accepted at the meeting that a
husband and wife family unit
could buy a bus pass for only
$24.
“It is only logical that this
type of a family pass be applied
to other immediate family rela
tionships such as a brother and
s i s t e r,” said Fred Campbell,
chairman of the Student Senate
rules and regulations committee.
“There is an added convenience
in riding a bus if the husband
and wife arrive at the campus at
different times,” said Ron Holder
of Texas Transportation Inter
prises (TTI).
“People just don’t realize it
costs 11 to 15 cents per mile to
run a car,” said Jim Behling.
A final decision concerning
whether or not the university
takes over the total operation
and ownership of the buses in the
future is between the vice presi
dent of business affairs and the
president said Caperton.
Free University Night To
Be Held In DeWare Gym
The Free University will once
again be offered to the students
