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.” National WASHINGTON—Senate Dem ocrats expressed support for a proposal to roll back the price of domestic crude oil.

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.

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’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. the class period nears an • “Do you think there will evitl a time when the world willlff peace ?” Most of the students say; among them Jimmy Hughes: 1 long as there are two on earth, one will have somei the other one wants and thtyl going to have a disagreement; Kam McCully disagree^ *f are caused by greed.” she | plains “and in the future, becij? of shortages, it won’t be poss;| to be greedy.

BHonriT? 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: It’s like going to church next Sun day when you haven’t been there in years.
