Air Pollution Guidelines Should be Eased,Says Hobby
Texas Lt. Gov. William P. Hob
by called for a relaxation of air
pollution guidelines to realistic
standards Monday at A&M.
Speaking to participants at an
air pollution control symposium,
Lt. Gov. Hobby presented five
proposed changes in federal clean
air legislation that would provide
for realistic levels of pollution
control at an economical price.
“The present directives of the
Environmental Protection Agency
set unrealistic standards of pollu
tion control,” he said. “More than
100 per cent efficiency in control

ood Procureth Favour; But
ie That Seeketh Mischief,

measures are called for—a level
which cannot be achieved in any
technological or scientific proc
ess.”
He cited penicillin as being dan
gerous or lethal to some people,
but noted that it is used because
it is one of the best medicines
available.
"The EPA should lower its
standards to a degree that will be
ecologically safe, and at the same
time economically feasible,” he
added. “We also propose that the
EPA follow the Texas Clean Air
Board in considering not only
ecological damage of pollution,
but also the economic costs of
cleaning up the environment.”
He also called for a slight re
laxation of pollution control di
rectives for automobiles, noting
that millions of dollars in research
and development could be saved,
money that could possibly be used
to develop mass transit systems
which would clean the air faster
than pollution control devices.
“Another area of concern is in
sulphur dioxide levels of pollu
tion,” he said. “The current stan
dards place many of our coal re
serves off limits, forcing us to
rely on politically unstable foreign
oil supplies.
Discussing land use manage
ment, Lt. Gov. Hobby noted that
many land use decisions are made
with respect only to air pollution.
“Land use management deci
sions are far reaching,” he noted,
“and these decisions must also in
clude the many other factors nec
essary in a good land use plan.
Air pollution is an important as
pect of land use planning, but
projected population growth, re
sources, transportation facilities
and other subjects must also be
taken into consideration.”
More than 500 air quality engi
neers, equipment manufacturers
and governmental representatives
are expected to attend the three-
day conference which began Mon
day.
Heads of air quality boards in
six states are attending the sym
posium to discuss their states’ ac
tions and guidelines with respect
to air quality. More than 35 tech
nical papers will be presented on
subjects ranging from agricultur
al processes to transportation and

Since the 1972 voting, in
which President Nixon buried

across the country, the nation has
witnessed some of the most seri

history.
But in the meantime, Republi

arguing that guilty individuals
in the Nixon official family

There are signs that Bush’s

Applications are available for four Student Senate

These positions are for three off-campus graduates
and one person from the Law-Puryear living area.
The three off-campus places have been vacated by
Delbert Towell, Herman Todd and Beryl McKinnery, all of
whom resigned “due to other commitments.”
Donald Hackler, Law-Puryear representative, said he

Ford Finishes Senate Hearings
With Praise, Apparent Success

WASHINGTOI OP)—Vice Pres
ident-designate Gerald R. Ford
completed his testimony before
the Senate Rules Committee Mon
day with no sign of any hitch de
veloping on his confirmation as
Spiro T. Agnew’s successor.
Ford won praise from the sen
ators for his answers in two days
of questioning on a broad range
of subjects, many of them deal
ing with how he would act if he
became President.
“You have a reputation for
openness and honesty in reply,”
Sen. Claiborne Pell, D-R.L, told
the House Republican leader, and

it appears these hearings justify
it.”
The hearings are the first ever
held in Congress on a vice presi
dential nominee. The procedure
for filling a vacancy in the vice
presidency is spelled out in the
25th amendment.
Sen. Howard W. Cannon, D-
Nev., chairman of the Rules Com
mittee, plans to hear other wit
nesses, and the House Judiciary
Committee also will hold hearings
before the House and Senate vote
on confirmation.
Mindful of the events that led
to Agnew’s resignation, Cannon
asked:
“Is there anything in your
background, anything you have
ever done or have knowledge of,
the exposure of which could pos
sibly subject the American people
to another disappointment or dis
illusionment?”
“Not to my knowledge,” said
Ford. “I have searched my con
science, my records and myself,
and I know of nothing.”
Ford was questioned again
about his relationship with Rob
ert N. Winter-Berger, a former
Washington lobbyist who has
written a book he calls “an insid
er’s view of corruption in Wash
ington.”
Songpainter Comes Back for Seconds
Mac Davis Returns to G. Roliie
“Song painter” Mac Davis plays
a return engagement Friday eve
ning at 8:30 in G. Roliie White
Coliseum.
A top artist who has made an
impact as a writer and singer,
Davis will perform as part of the
Town Hall Series and as the lead
event for the TAMU-SMU foot
ball weekend.
Davis won approval here last
fall in a show with Helen Reddy,
said Town Hall Chairperson Tim
Clader.
The Lubbock native began his
career in a church choir and ex
panded in college where he says
he majored in “beer and rock and
roll.’’
From there Davis hit the fra
ternity 5 circuit with his own band
and started writing his own songs.
At 20 Davis decided to go into
the music business by becoming
the Atlantic district and regional
manager for the now defunct Vee
jay Label. He later joined Liber
ty in the same capacity.
While in Hollywood as head of
Metric Music, Liberty’s music
publishing operation, Davis wrote
two songs: “You’re Good For
Me” and “Within My Memory.”
From that point on, Davis has
moved up in the charts with hits
recorded by such personalities as
Elvis Presley, Lou Rawls, Kenny
Rogers and the First Edition,
Sammy Davis and Donny Hatha
way.
These hits includes “Memo
ries,” “In the Ghetto,” “I Believe
in Music,” “Don’t Cry Daddy,”
“Something’s Burning,” “Friend,
Lover, Woman, Wife,” and “Lone-
somest Lonesome.”
His first album for Columbia
Records was “Mac Davis, Song”
Painter” and “I Believe In Music”
was his second, both of which
received good reviews and hit
the charts.
His “Baby Don’t Get Hooked
On Me” earned million-seller gold.
“Baby Don’t Get Hooked On
Me” was number one on the charts
for three consecutive weeks. It
had come to Davis in a flash, took
four hours to write and was re
corded the next day.
“It’s funny,” says Davis, “when
you get a little hot as a song
writer, people start coming to you
and asking you for songs. I can
remember a dry spell a while
back, but now with the success
of my records and albums, it’s like
nothing ever happened. I’m very
excited about the whole thing.”
Davis is primarily a songwrit
er but doesn’t mind other artists
making hit versions of his ma
terial.
Season tickets and student ac
tivity cards will be honored for
the show. Single event reserved
seat and general admission are
on sale at the Rudder Center box
office.
IT’S BONY TIME AGAIN. Corps freshman Charles
Harper of Company N-l flattens bottle caps for his “fish
spurs” in preparation for Saturday’s game with the SMU
Mustangs.
The book contains numerous
references to Ford. Ford, who
told the committee previously he
was “duped“ by Winter-Berger,
denied all allegations of wrong
doing cited in the book.
“It is a completely inaccurate,
demagogic bunch of words that, in
my opinion, don’t deserve publica
tion,” Ford said.
Winter-Berger is scheduled to
be questioned by the committee
in a closed session Wednesday.

uate will speak on “Increasing
Food for the Hungry World” at
12 noon Wednesday.
The presentation sponsored by
Great Issues will be given in

Dickie is employed by the Agen

riculture here he went to North
Texas State University where he
earned his masters in economics
in 1949.
Between 1950 and 1961, Dickie
operated a cattle spread along
with his father in Denton County.
During four of those years, 1950-
5, he also taught vocational agri
culture at the Collin County Vo
cational School and at the Denton
County Vocational School.
From 1961 until 1965, Dickie
served Texas Democratic Senator
Ralph Yarborough as Administra
tive Assistant. In 1965, he joined
the Agency for International De
velopment as a Congressional Lia-
son Officer.
