Page 2 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 197'4 ;fv § Fort Worth cops hit movie house FORT WORTH (^)—About 20 law enforcement personnel shut down the Empire Theater again Tuesday, leaving with “Deep Throat,” three employees and almost everything else inside the movie house. The theater, hit in last week’s sweeping raids against nine por nography theaters in the county, ;opened its doors again Monday •:I 'for a free showing of “Deep jg ’Throat.” ~ ■ Patrons were asked to identify 'themselves and sign statements ^acknowledging what type of movie they were about to see be fore they entered. J They were also asked to donate to the movie house’s legal defense ?fund. ! < Dist. Atty. Tim Curry, who arrived a short time after the raid began, said it was initiated ;because the theater “started yes terday exhibiting a movie which has already been held to be obscene by the court in this county.” Asst. Dist. Atty. Joe Shannon Jr., who led the raid, said the change of policy to allow for donations instead of the usual $5 admission fee constituted only a subterfuge. Among the things officers carted off to the district attor ney’s office for storage were all the theater seats on the ground floor, projectors, some films and another pile of magazines. “I’ll tell you what we should have done is brought a sign crew and hauled off the marquis out in front,” said Curry as the last of the seats were being removed. The three persons arrested at the theater, two men and a woman, were released about 9 p.m. Tuesday on orders from County Criminal Court Judge J. C. Duvall.

Editor: We the undersigned are getting very annoyed by the juvenile be havior of the “men” (we use the term loosely) of Moses Hall. Ev ery room seems to be equipped with a pair of high-powered bi noculars. We are beginning to feel like we live in a zoo! Why must we always be spyed upon, stared at, and visually mo lested to the point of insanity ? A girl can only feel safe around here when she has her blinds shut, curtains drawn, and the door locked and chained. Possibly not every inhabitant of Moses Hall is intent upon rape, but must they act like it? This constant attempted “peeping” is v *.V Ifl S y j'K y While Powe was director, health facilities moved from the old hospital to the new center. “I can take no credit for that, but I have been very satisfied with my work here,” said Powe. “We have eliminated a lot of the confusion and organized a very good health center.” •! / Powe added he was particular ly pleased to work with such a competent staff. Powe’s successor will be an nounced by Dr. John Koldus, vice president of student serv ices. 3 $ ALLEN Oldsmobile Cadillac SALES - SERVICE “Where satisfaction is standard equipment” 2401 Texas Ave. 823-8002 NEEDS YOU!

Various actions on the part of the Rice band angered those who have given so much to this university and hold it as dear to their hearts. However, even with all the displeasure of that fall afternoon, maybe we can learn something from their mistakes and lack of courtesy, in order to make our own sportsmanship bet ter. Take for example the current basketball season. Far too many times in the past we have slipped into the easy temptations of poor sportsmanship such as booing the officials and their calls, harrass- ment of opposing players during their introductions and in the process of the game, plus other antics one might expect to find more prevalent at the 40 acres in Austin or the brain factory in Houston. Being Aggies, we should take just a little more pride in our actions and in our support of the team in order to show our ri vals just what “sportsmanship” means at Aggieland. If we’re go ing to defect an opponent, let’s do it on the field of play and not in the stands. Such could be the case this weekend as Rice pays a “friend ly” visit to G. Rollie White coli seum, better known to others around the Southwest Conference as the “holler box on the Brazos.” Hopefully any repercussions this weekend of the past fall, or when we visit Rice’s Autry Court in Houston Feb. 19, will come from their direction and will not be due to any foolishness of our own . . .
