pending hearings by the Senate
Finance Committee.
Meanwhile, the Democratic sen
ators moved to force action next
week on the emergency energy
bill, which was left pending when
Congress recessed for Christmas.
SAN ANTONIO — Scores of
citizens, prompted by a radio talk
show personality, showed their ir
ritation at rising utility bills by
staging their own version of the
Boston Tea Party here Thursday.
They dumped scores of tea bags
into the laps of city councilmen
at the council’s weekly meeting.
The demonstration climaxed a
week of protests which took the
form of mailing tea bags to City
Hall.
AUSTIN — Texas’ best hope
for turning convicts into law-abid
ing citizens are hometown reha
bilitation programs, the director
of the state prison system told a
legislative committee Thursday.
But W. J. Estelle Jr. warned
against such programs being
hastily set up without enough
funds — “It could touch off a
backlash that would set the crim
inal justice system back years.”

WASHINGTON — In a special
message to Congress, President
Nixon proposed more money for
education programs ranging from
preschool Head Start to college
student aid.
He urged further consolidation
of some education categorical aid
programs into broad grant au
thorities and offered to increase
federal aid to elementary and
secondary education by $180 mil
lion next year.
WASHINGTON — A White
House spokesman said he was not
prepared to discuss at this time a
report about President Nixon’s
income taxes.
Press Secretary Ronald L. Zieg
ler was asked about an Associated
Press report in which Nixon was
described by a White House
source as seemingly disposed to
pay California income taxes for
recent years — a step that could
lead to filing amended federal
tax returns.
WASHINGTON — Egil Krogh
Jr., former head of the so-called
White House plumbers, was sen
tenced to serve six months in pris
on for the burglary of the office
of Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist.
He is the first top-level former
White House staffer to be sent to
prison.
Krogh had pleaded guilty to a
single count of violating the psy
chiatrist’s civil rights. At one
time Krogh was an assistant to
John D. Ehrlichman, President
Nixon’s domestic adviser, when
he was assigned to head the
White House special investiga
tion unit nicknamed the plumbers.

BELFAST, Northern Ireland -—
An Irish Republican Army guer
rilla squad led by a blonde girl
with a submachine gun hijacked a
helicopter and dropped two milk
cans filled with explosives on a
police station.
The bombs did not explode. The
target was at Strabane, on the
border with the Irish Republic.
The helicopter was hijacked in the
Irish republic to the south.

BABYLON, N. Y. (P) — The
Vietnam war one year after. In
a distant Saigon classroom the
study of current events. In Ba
bylon Junior High School, the
study of history.
But history with a sting.
Sharon Bray, 13: “The one
thing I remember most was I
was at my friend’s house and
she found out her cousin died
and everyone was crying.”
Grace Friedell, 13: “I remember
looking at the newspaper in the
morning and seeing a list of men
who died or who were missing.”
Junior high pupils were not yet
in their teens when pens touched
paper in Paris and signed a con
tract ending fighting by Ameri
cans in Vietnam.
“But throughout your lifetime,
there was such a thing as a Viet
nam war,” teacher Katina Chap-
ski tells her class on a drizzly
morning in this New York City
suburb. “Looking back now, what
are your feelings about it?”
“It was really senseless, be
cause I don’t see there was any
reason for us to get into it” ans
wers Fred Gilbert, a slight, dark
haired boy. “It was another coun
try and it was their battle and
they could have fought it them
selves.”
Blonde Sally Solat adds: “It’s
hard to say whether it was right
or wrong. It saved a lot of people,

but a lot of other people died. It’s
hard to say.”
Was it right? Did it accom
plish anything? How many died?
What did it do to the United
States? How did it start?
The discussion continues, the 22
boys and girls responding as Mrs.
Chapski prods them with ques
tions. Of the 19 who prepared ans
wers in advance 13 say they think
the war accomplished nothing.
There’s still fighting, Charles
Albanese says, he knows because
he asked someone. Sam Rodrig
ues says his brother and six of
his cousins fought in Vietnam and
all consider it a waste. Thaddeus
Vaughn wonders why the leaders
of each country couldn’t have
slugged it out. Marias Cotto feels
it stopped the Communists and
taught them a lesson.
“What is the one thing you re
member most about the Vietnam
war?” Mrs. Chapski asks.
“The release of the POWs,”
answers Curtiss Schaefer, and a
current of agreement ripples
through the class.
Then others answer. One boy
remembers his family gathered
around the television set to hear
President Nixoh announce the
cease fire. Doug Downs recalls
North Vietnam’s torture of U. S.
prisoners. Teresa Phillips remem
bers the death of her stepbrother
in combat.
Should the United States help
South Vietnam again if asked?
The answers vary—America has
a responsibility it should send
supplies but no troops, it depends
on what other powers do, it would
only mean more war.
“And now this very important
question,” Mrs. Chapsik says as
Fraternity begins
spring rush bash
All the rushing in College Station isn’t to class. The local chapter of Sigma
Phi Epsilon is expecting at least 90 applicants during their Jan. 21 through Feb. 2
rush. Get-acquainted parties for rushes are Monday, Jan. 28, seven to nine p.m. at
the Elk’s Lodge, 304 Mobile Avenue, and Wednesday evening seven to nine p.m.
at the fraternity house, 2600 Todd.
Sigma Phi Epsilon sponsors social gatherings for members, pledges, and the
Girls of the Golden Heart, the little sister organization. Also on the fraternity’s
agenda are service projects such as donations to the March of Dimes and the
Brazos County Rehabilitation Center, and making spirit signs for football and
basketball games.
The local chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon was founded in 1965 as the Phi
Delta Sigma social fraternity. As a chapter with no national affiliation, the
fraternity was “colonized” in 1972 by the national Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.
On March 31, 1973, the A&M chapter became one of over one hundred
thirty-three chapters across the nation.
Prospective applicants should attend the fraternity’s rushing parties. Any
questions should be directed to Jeff Pollicoff, rush chairman, at 822-4315.

IllilS IT
Sure, these are the questions a
door raises.
Jesus once said, “I am the door.”
His teachings have opened for millions
a more meaningful, purposeful and
satisfying life.
Yet people still get hung up on the
questions of a locked door and what’s
behind it. The atheist says there’s
nothing beyond the door. The agnostic
says we’ll never know because it’s
locked. And the spiritually-hesitant
just say, “I wish I knew . . . .”
Sheer logic says try the knob.
Common sense says grasp it firmly
and turn. Those who have say it’s
amazing what rewards we discover
with one twist of human initiative:
