The vote was 132-13. "I’m for: reform, but not for coming down here and passing a nullity, a law that will make all of you look silly when a federal court holds it unconstitutional,” said Rep. Bill Hollowell of Grand Saline. Hollowell contended that the bill violates the right of free speech because it prohibits a quorum of a government body— such as a city council—from meet ing even informally and discuss ing public questions in private. A quorum would consist of a majority of the body. "You are saying to school boards and city councils, and most of them in rural areas have five members, that if three of you have coffee together and talk about public policy you can be sent to jail for six months,” he said . . ..“People who are render ing great public service are being humiliated by this act.” Rep. Carl Parker of Port Ar thur, sponsor of the measure, said the bill would usher in an age of greater openness by state and local governments by plug ging loopholes in the largely un enforced 1967 law. "This bill is for the folks who want to take an interest in their government ... It is for the little old ladies in tennis shoes who want to go sit in on the county commissioners court,” he said. In other action, the House ten tatively approved on a non-record vote a bill extending for six months the life of the Governor’s Committee on Human Relations, which is scheduled to expire Feb. 1. The measure, by Rep. Carlos Truan of Corpus Christi, carries a $36,000 appropriation. Final ac tion is expected Wednesday after noon. That would send it on to the Senate. A&M Granted FA A Contract To Study Stalls And Spins Howard L. Chevalier, director of A&M’s Flight Mechanics Lab oratory and assistant professor of Aerospace Engineering, has been granted a contract by the Fed eral Aviation Administration to continue research in stall and spin prevention in general aviation aircraft. Chevalier’s research has pro duced a stall preventative device for small single-engine aircraft that is independent of the aircraft control system and pilot reaction. The system, unlike stall warn ing devices now incorporated on most aircraft, prevents the air craft from entering a stall situ- Legalized Possession Of Marijuana Proposed By Houston Representative AUSTIN <A>)—Rep. Ron Waters of Houston introduced a bill Tues day allowing persons over 18 to possess marijuana. The bill Was referred by House Speaker Price Daniel Jr. to the House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee. Waters’ bill would make it a misdemeanor, with a $200 fine the maximum recently, for a per son under 18 to possess mari juana. It also would be a mis demeanor, with a $100 fine, to possess more than three ounces in a public place or to smoke it in a public area. Sale of marijuana or possession for sale would be a felony, with a maximum punishment of three years in prison and a $2,000 fine. The same penalties would apply if a person gave marijuana to a person under 18 and the giver was three years older than the recipient. Persons now serving prison sentences for marijuana violations could petition the sentencing court to be resentenced. “I have concluded that the pub lic order is not served by the hypocrisy of the present mari juana laws, which has created a disrespect for the law, and re sulted in defining as criminal the behavior of the 24 million Ameri cans who have used marijuana,” Waters said in a statement. ation where wing surfaces no longer produce lift. The system utilizes a device on the leading edge of the wing that senses attitude changes. A motor relay activates a control motor which in turn positions spoilers on the horizontal tail surface to prevent airplane stall. "This system,” Chevalier said, “is not a warning device or ‘stick pusher.’ A warning device sig nals the pilot that his aircraft is either in or approaching stall condition. A stick pusher reposi tions the control yoke, inhibiting the pilot’s longitudinal control of the aircraft. "Our system simply does not allow the aircraft to enter stall condition. It does not interfere with the polit’s control of the air plane and it allows for maximum maneuverability of the aircraft,” he continued. Chevalier said the stall preven tion system developed at A&M is more effective than any stall preventive device in use today. He said it can be utilized on all small aircraft now in the service. It can also be incorporated in the manufacturing procedure for such aircraft without changing aircraft design. The FAA is keenly interested in stall prevention, and a recent re port by the National Transporta tion Board states that stall spin accidents have historically ac counted for more fatalities and serious injuries in general avi ation than any other type of ac cident. ‘‘Thy soul shall find itself alone Mid dark thoughts of the gray tombstone— The spirits of the dead . . . and their will Shall overshadow thee: be still.” What evil lurks in the minds of men? Obviously, Edgar Allen Poe knew, but he left us. Today we have Black Sabbath to tell of all the weird, horrible, slimy un mentionables around our bright little society. To listen to the stuff of rock’s all-time downers is to hear about a world hopelessly en tangled in the evil web woven by the demons (that is, earthly rep resentatives of the Devil) that threaten our sanity. Satan may be alive and well, but Black Sabbath is safe. They all wear iron crosses to ward off the fork-tailed dude. However, B.S. can still sympathize enough with those who aren’t protected to knock us down into a forced introspectiveness with their haunting, pounding, piercing song called “Paranoid.” These days, B.S. are so] that its fourth album isi entitled “Volume 4.” I woulil to say that no one but Petal or Martin Bormann will paj| money for this junk, million Americans were off by the other three B.S. sll| that still leaves over 200 j possible customers.
