Approved Wiretaps
Shuttle Bus riders may be sur-

They may even be more sur-

eplacements.
The action is a decision the
AMU Shuttle Bus Committee
Bade in a meeting Monday.
The two busses will be taken
rom the fleet of eight in two

WASHINGTON (A>) _ Retired
spy E. Howard Hunt Jr. testi
fied today that his one-time
friend Charles W. Colson ap
proved of the over-all political
espionage scheme that led to the
Watergate wiretapping.
Hunt, testifying before the
Senate Watergate committee, de
nied that he had tried to black
mail the White House for money
and presidential clemency.
But he said he continued to
receive thousands of dollars in
cash from anonymous sources
until as recently as two or three
days before he was sentenced
last March 23 for his part in
the Watergate wiretapping and
burglary.
He said the final cash pay
ment, $75,000, was made after
two Shuttle Buses Removed
($16,000 short of the funding
figure needed.
The decision to remove the
buses from routes two and three
was made due to the results of a
survey made last Wednesday and
Thursday by OPA and CWENS
volunteers.
Committee member Ron Miori
protested the removal of the bus
from the Monaco route (route 2)
and said it was not fair to the
students living in these apart
ments who also needed to get
back and forth to campus.
“The Monaco route was im
portant last year and these stu
dents deserve more than one bus
running about every 20-25 min
utes said Miori.
Route three was also an area
of complaint during the meeting.
Dr. Gary Hart, 4100 Nagle St.,
suggested three new routes to the
Public Education
Gets Spotlight
A&M’s fall program noting its
mice to the state turns the
spotlight on public education
Saturday with activities high
lighted by dedication of the new
iffice-classroom building near
the heart of the campus.
The “Promoting Public Educa
tion” program is the second in
the five-part series having an
werall theme of “Texas A&M
Serves the People.” Each pro
gram is timed to coincide with a
home football game.
“Promoting Public Education”
activities get underway at 3 p.m.
with the dedication of the eight-
story building which serves the
Colleges of Education, Liberal
Arts and Science.
Several top officials of the Co
ordinating Board, Texas College
and University System and the
Texas Education Agency, as well
as other leading educators and
administrators, are expected to
attend the dedication and related
activities, noted Dr. Philip C.
Limbacher, associate dean of ed
ucation and chairman of the com
mittee coordinating this week
end’s events.
The ceremonies, open to the
public, will conclude with guided
tours of the building, Dr. Lim-
hacher added.
Halftime activities at the Tex
as A&M-Boston College football
game will include notation of the
university’s expanding role in all
levels of public education.
In addition to the formal “Pro
moting Public Education” pro
gram, the Colleges of Agricul
ture, Engineering and Science
are holding “Career Day” activi
ties Saturday. These events are
txpected to attract approximate
ly 5,000 high school students,
parents, teachers and counselors.
The new $3.5 million building
contains approximately 114,000
square feet of floor space. It was
constructed by Mitchell, Vance &
Thurmond of Bryan. The archi
tect was Bartlett Cocke and As
sociates, Inc. of San Antonio.
“Texas A&M Serves the Peo
ple” activities began with a
“Keeping the Peace” program in
conjunction with the Wichita
State game Sept. 15. Later pro
grams will be “Expanding Health
Care” Oct. 27 (Baylor game),
“Leading in Marine Affairs”
Nov. 10 (SMU) and “Building a
Greater State” Nov. 22 (Univer
sity of Texas).
committee to replace the present
one which uses Nagle Street as
a throughfare.
The three changes suggested by
Hart were turned down because,
according to the committee they
included streets in construction
areas, turns the 35-foot bus could
not encompass, busy streets and
also missed some areas presently
serviced by the bus.
At the present time, Shuttle
bus Committee Chairman Dean
Charles Powell said the use of
Nagle Street on route three
makes it the most feasible route
for the area yet proposed. The
bus will continue to use the street
until a better route is presented
to the committee.
In other business, the commit
tee discussed the present night
route. At this time the one bus
covers all four days routes be
ginning at 6 p. m. and doing one
loop each hour until 11, Monday
through Thursday.
Committee member Dan Whitt
suggested the use of a nine pas
senger stationwagon on the night
route. The wagon, property of the
Physical Plant, would be cheaper
to run than a bus.
Whitt suggested that students
wishing to use the evening bus
service to the campus call a num-
bur and the wagon would pick
them up and take them to and
from an on-campus destination.
Whitt also said the car should
also maintain a regular evening
route for the convenience of those
few students presently using the
evening bus.
In other action, Dean Powell
proposed that the committee ask
President Jack Williams for a
half-time person to act as coor
dinator for the university to
coordinate the complex problems
arising from the shuttle bus in
conjunction with the management
of Texas Enterprises, Inc.
Powell said his duties as dean of
men and shuttle bus chairman co
incided and a coordinator would
have more time to take care of the
bus problems.
Student Center
New Home of
Polling Place
The Brazos County polling site
for precinct 20 has been moved
from G. Rollie White Coliseum to
the new Memorial Student Cen
ter.
Randy Ross, student body pres
ident, presented a student senate
petition calling for a change in
the polling place Monday morn
ing before the Brazos County
Commissioners Court which ap
proved the measure.
Ross also presented two peti
tions to the College Station City
Council meeting Monday night.
One petition called for moving
the city polling place for precinct
20 from the Cushing Library
Building to the new MSC.
Ross hopes that the council will
approve the proposal which will
give the students a convenient
place to vote and will combine the
city voting site with the county
site.
The other petition proposed a
change in city councilmen election
procedures. The present at-large
system allows councilmen from
anywhere within the city to rep
resent the city. This has resulted
in several councilmen living in
the same neighborhood. Under
the proposed amendment, the
councilmen would be elected on a
ward system.
he mentioned to a Colson asso
ciate and to a Nixon campaign
lawyer that he had done “seamy
things” for the White House. He
said he hadn’t meant that to be
a threat.
Hunt and former special White
House counsel Colson had been
personal friends since the mid-
1960s, when they first met at the
Brown University alumni club.
Colson recommended Hunt for
his consultant’s job at the White
House. But during his testimony
today, Hunt dropped hints that
the relationship had deteriorated,
saying that Colson had shunned
him after the Watergate break-
in.
He said that shortly before he
was sentenced for his part in the
Watergate break-in, he sought a
meeting with Colson but was
sent instead to his law partner.
According to earlier testimony,
Hunt’s reference to seamy things
was taken as a blackmail threat
to disclose the 1971 Ellsberg Bur
glary and other matters in which
Hunt had taken a hand while on
the White House staff.
Hunt admitted his part in the

scandals. He said the money he
received as part of the Water
gate coverup now has run out,
and he feels he is being mis
treated by the government he
thought he had been serving.
Hunt said his memory has re
cently been refreshed, and he
now recalls that Colson told him,
before the Watergate wiretap
ping was first proposed, that
Colson was aware of the over-all
so-called Gemstone intelligence
plan that was then being formed
inside President Nixon’s re-elec
tion committee.
But Hunt stuck by his previ
ous testimony that he had no
reason to believe that Colson had
specific knowledge of the Water
gate bugging and burglary, which
grew out of the Gemstone
scheme.
He stood by a previous affi
davit that said that, so far as
Hunt was aware, Colson didn’t
know about the break-in plot un
til after it happened.
Hunt repeated and expanded
on earlier estimony that Colson
directed him in efforts to fabri
cate or dig up information em

ily and to Dr. Daniel Ellsberg.
Hunt said he took part in the
Watergate wiretapping out of a
sense of duty to his country, be
lieving that the bugging and
burglary was a legal, officially
approved plan aimed at uncover
ing what he was told were Com
munist Cuban donations to the
Democratic party.

Bands Refuse to Play
At Razorback Games
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (A 5 ) —
Spokesmen for three Texas uni
versities have told the University
of Arkansas at Fayetteville that
their bands will not play at Razor-
back football games in Arkansas
because of abuse from fans.
The schools are the University
of Texas at Austin, Texas Chris
tian Universtiy at Fort Worth
and Texas Tech at Lubbock.
The spokesman told UA band
leader Elton Janzes that their
musicians have been hit with
bottles, cans, ice, cups and fists
and that they have been the ob
ject of verbal abuse by Razor-
back fans.
James Jacobson, who supervises
the TCU band, said “various
and sundry unpleasant incidents”
prompted his decision not to
allow the TCU band to play
during the TCU-UA game Oct. 6
at Little Rock. “Boy, they’re out
for blood down there,” he added.
As soon as the Razorback fans
see “we have a TCU uniform on,
the abuse starts,” Jacobson said.
The abuse consisted of “a barrage
of verbal insults, throwing ice,
throwing cups, throwing half-
finished hot dogs,” he said.
Jacobson said one band member
had to be hospitalized after he
was punched in the face during
a game several years ago at War
Memorial Stadium at Little Rock.
He said he regretted that the
incidents are “coming to light.
But these kind of incidents have
been going on for 20 years down
there. Maybe if we get it out in
the open, it will help in getting
the situation solved.”
“Those fans at Fayetteville and
Little Rock are probably the
roughest crowds we’ve ever
played before,” said Dean Killion,
Texas Tech band leader.
Killion said that he thought
“part of the problem” was that
“there’s more drinking in the
stands down there than at any
other stadiums.”
Both Killion and Jacobson
praised the UA band and its di
rectors, adding that the Razor-
back band had no part in any
incidents.
Vincent DiNino, UT band lead
er, could not be reached for com
ment at once Friday.
Janzen said Southern Meth
odist band leader Erving Drei-
brodt had told him several years
ago, “I shall never return to
Arkansas” because of abuse from
fans.
“We’re concentrating on a
campaign of public relations with
the other schools to try to improve
the situation,” Janzen said, add
ing that the fans are the only
ones who ultimately can solve
the problem.
