THE BATTALO
Demos Knock Attorney General Choict
HURON, Ohio hT) — Top Dem
ocrats said Monday that Presi
dent Nixon’s choice of a new at
torney general from within his
administration won’t satisfy the
public demand for total disclos
ure of all facts surrounding the
Watergate case.
National Chairman Robert S.
Strauss and Govs. Marvin Mandel
of Maryland, Wendell Ford of
Kentucky, Milton Shapp of Penn
sylvania and John J. Gilligan of
Ohio immediately criticized Nix
on’s choice of Secretary of De
fense Elliot L. Richardson to re
place Atty. Gen. Richard Klien-
dienst.
“A designated pinch hitter,”
scoffed Mandel.
“He’s continuing to use the
inner sanctum to fill the places
of responsibility,” Ford said, de
claring that wide consultation
and choice of outsiders “wou!<l
have made more of an impres
sion on the public.”
News of the change at the
Justice Department and the
resignation of three top White
House officials in the wake of
the Watergate scandal reached
the Democratic governors here
Legislature Backload Grows
AsAdjournmen tApproaches
Texas Press Association
AUSTIN — Legislators have a
lot more left to do than they have
done so far in almost four months.
Of the nearly 1,700 House bills
and almost 1,000 Senate bills in
troduced, fewer than 100 actually
have reached the Governer’s desk.
If the 63rd Legislature accom
plishes as much as the 62nd did
numerically (more than 1,000 bills
passed), about 99 per cent of the
floor action must be capsuled in
the brief period before the May 28
adjournment deadline.
Slow-moving debate in the
House — where more than 200
amendments were offered — on
Language Prof Honored As
‘Father Of Singing Cadets’
Dr. Joseph J. Woolket, profes
sor emeritus of modem languages,
was honored Saturday as “the
father of the Singing Cadets.”
Woolket was presented, a plaque
by Singing Cadets Director Rob
ert L. Boone at the choral group’s
annual awards banquet.
James L. Randolph, incoming
president from Wickett, was nam
ed the outstanding Singing Cadet
of 1972-73 and four Honorary
Singing Cadets including Presi
dent Jack K. Williams were nam
ed.
“Dr. Woolket brought the Sing
ing Cadets into the world,” Boone
noted in announcing the award.
“In 1938 he organized an all-male
choral group of students and con
ducted a campus-wide contest in
1940 to name them.”
“The enthusiasm and effort Dr.
Woolket put into those years more
than qualify him to be called ‘The
Father of the Singing Cadets’,”
the director added.
Named honorary members with
Dr. Williams were Mrs. George
Patterson of Bay City and Mr.
and Mrs. James McLeroy of Hous
ton. The McLeroys provide a $100
award that goes to the outstand
ing member of the TAMU glee
club. Mrs. Patterson provides a
one-person welcoming committee
for the Cadets’ performance in
Bay City each year.
Boone cited Dr. Williams sup
port of the Singing Cadets.
Individual awards also were
made by Boone to the 41-member
group, which will graduate 15.
Recognized by length of member
ship, the awards included 18-se
mester members Jimmy D. Cain,
oceanography doctoral student,
and Tim J. Webb, veterinary med
icine Ph.D. candidate. Bergie W.
Anderson, psychology graduate
student, completed 12 semesters.
Randolph succeeds Fred C.
Campbell Jr. of San Antonio as
president. Serving with Randolph
in 1973-74 will be vice president
William E. Reeves of Orange;
publicity manager Tim Webb,
Houston; treasurer William R.
Meredith, Del Rio, and tour man
ager, William L. Branson, Snyder.
the $9.7 billion appropriation bill
fanned some speculation that a
special session may be necessary
to complete mandatory work.
Gov. Dolph Briscoe, who holds
the key to calling such a session,
has made clear he doesn’t want
one.
Senators banged through their
$9.5 billion version of the state
budget in an hour and 21 minutes.
In spite of the two weeks spent
on the House spending bill, Speak
er Price Daniel Jr. maintained
“plenty of time” remains to con
sider other “must” legislation.
Daniel predicted House passage
of these measures before May 28:
* Mass transit.
* Drug law reform.
* Bills to improve fiscal respon
sibility in government appropria
tions.
* Restoral of capital punish
ment.
* Penal code revision.
* Water district reform.
* Public school finance.
* Competitive insurance rating.
While the work load appears
staggering, Texas legislators are
used to concentrating most of
their floor action in the last month
of their sessions.
just after they adopted a resolu
tion urging “total and full dis
closure of all facts relating to
the Watergate case as quickly
as possible.”
They also called on Nixon to
name an independent prosecutor
for the case, possibly one recom
mended by the American Bar As
sociation.
“It is our belief,” the gover
nors said, “that the restoration
of confidence in government is
imperative to move this nation
toward resolution of pressing do
mestic problems.”
Gov. Dale Bumpers of Arkan
sas, chairman of the Democratic
Governors Caucus, hailed the
resignations and Nixon’s an
nouncement of Monday night’s
television address to the nation
as indicating that “what we’xe
recommending is at hand.”
But other Democratic state ex
ecutives were more skeptical of
the White House moves an
nounced Monday.
Mandel, who heads the bi
partisan national Governors Con
ference, complained about Rich
ardson’s selection: “It’s alwayi
the same people who are pli
the game.”
Shapp called it “just shufflinj
some old hands into new places’
and said: “The resignations mon
or less prove there have
very high officials in the Nixot
administration involved in tin
planning of this operation and
also in the cover-up.”

Euromed may offer RX
via overseas training.
For the session starting Fall, 1973, the European Medical Students Placement
Service, Inc. will assist qualified American students in gaining admission to rec
ognized overseas medical schools.
And that’s just the beginning.
Since the language barrier constitutes the
preponderate difficulty in succeeding at a
foreign school, the Euromed program also
includes an intensive 8-12 week medical
and conversational language course, man
datory for all students. Five hours daily, the
course is given in the country where the stu
dent will attend medical school.
In addition, the European Medical Students
Placement Service provides students with
an 8-12 week intensive cultural orienta
tion course, with American students now
studying medicine in that particular country
serving as counselors.
Senior or graduate students currently en
rolled in an American university are eligible
to participate in the Euromed program.
Perhaps most important, the Euromed Pro
gram helps the student attain his career
goal in the medical profession.
"I would like to thank you for providing me
with the opportunity to fulfill my goal of
becoming a doctor ... I believe that your
program holds a great deal of hope for the
future ... in opening doors for many young
Americans . . . and in aiding the U.S. in its
critical shortage of doctors.”*
*from a letter from a Euromed participant
We have helped place a number of qualified
students from the United States in recog
nized medical schools overseas.
