Slogan is selected for centennial Page 2 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1975 THE f WEDNES William T. Sherman of Roches ter, Minn., submitted the winning entry in the slogan contest for Texas A&M University’s centennial: “Founded on the Future.” A companion contest for ideas for a centennial symbol resulted in a tie between W. Cecil Steward, dean of architecture at the University of Nebraska, and Tom W. Rowell, graphics director for TAMU’s As sociation of Former Students. Roger Miller, centennial coor dinator , said the design for the cen tennial symbol will be given further consideration. The competition was jointly sponsored by the university and its alumni organization and was open to all students, former students, fa culty and staff. Sherman will receive a $250 cash award and Steward and Rowell will receive $125 each. Steward is a 1956 TAMU ar chitecture graduate who had been a member of the faculty at his alma mater for 11 years and was associate dean of architecture and environ mental design prior to accepting the Nebraska deanship in 1973. Rowell, a 1956 University Texas Commercial Art and Advertising graduate, has been graphics direc tor for the alumni association for the past year and was previously art di rector for the TAMU Printing Center for 14 years. Finalists in the contest to suggest a slogan for TAMU’s 100th anniver sary observance in 1976 included Peter Amaral of Galveston, a 1971 zoology graduate, John Dutch, junior psychology major from Shreveport; M. Morgan Douglass of Schaumburg, 111., a 1956 architec ture graduate; Earl C. Gilmore, Jr., of Bryan, a 1951 agricultural educa tion graduate, and James R. Walker of Corpus Christi, a 1972 marketing graduate. Runners-up in the symbol contest were Robert Latimer of Dallas, a 1944 mechanical engineering graduate, and John H. Robertson of Waco, a 1964 marketing graduate. Miller noted the design for the centennial symbol will be given further consideration. CENTENNIAL 3 Mile* N.

ROWELL, COLLEGE STATION Aggie Players Crucible” tryouts to open Aggie Players auditions for “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller, will be Jan. 20 in the Forum of the Univer sity Theater Arts Complex at 7:30 pm. The production which will be staged Fell. 27-29 and March 1, 6-8 calls for 11 men and 11 women (“one of which must be black and beauti ful,” says Kay Sloney of the Aggie Players). Robert W. Wenck, chair man of the Theater Arts Section, will direct the production. Miller, a Pulitzer Prize winner, whose other literary efforts include “All My Sons” and “Death of a Salesman”, has won the reputation of being one of the most important American playwrites of our time. Winner of the Tony award, “The Crucible”, is a dramatic re-telling of the historic witchcraft trials in Salem, Mass., in 1692. When it first appeared on the New York stage in 1953, it became one of the most hotly discussed subjects of the time. Most of Miller’s audiences thought they saw an analogy bet ween the Salem witcih-hunts and the McCarthy communist hunts. Some partisans angrily denied that there was any contemporary paral lel to the story of the perversions of justice that occurred in old Salem. Others said that Miller’s revelation of the techniques of witch-hunts — that employ the authority of being the first to accuse, to ruin the life of an enemy, and implicate others as the easiest way for culprits to clear themselves — indeed had a lesson for today. Miller has said that everyone of his 22 characters in this play has a similar role in the terrible episodes of 1692 in Salem when 19 persons were hanged as witches on the hear say of hysterical accusers, and others saved themselves only by “confessing” that they had made pacts with the Devil. The playwrite focusses most of the attention on the fate of a young farmer’s wife, accused of witchcraft by a cunning girl who hopes that she might eventually replace the wife in the affections of the husband — and the doom that this husband also meets when he attempts to save his wife from the unfounded charge be fore the prejudiced authorities. The play follows John and Elizabeth Proctor through their whole ordeal — first vague suspi cion, then the arrest and the im placable trial in which any defense from vicious charges is regarded as an heretical attack upon the court itself. Finally, the Proctor must con fess to something he knows is a lie, and at last, the roll of the drums at the foot of the gallows.

Students enrolled in the Junction class will provide professional ser vices to the Junction Independent School District through appraisal of facilities and reviews of future en rollment, monetary resources and curriculum. One overnight stay in the Hill Country community is called for in the tentative work schedule of the Tuesday evening class. The brown-bagger looks at human values in decision-making with a look at the decision-making process from such perspectives as the philosopher, novelist, poet, painter, sculptor, historian, dramatist, architect, journalist and musician. The lunchtime class meets at noon on Wednesdays. Both are offered by the Educa tional Administration Department. it conducted massive domestic sur veillance “overblown.” Schlesinger, who headed the spy agency for six months in 1973, is now secretary of defense. His com ments on the CIA came during a Pentagon news conference. Schlesinger said the CIA domes tic operations he discovered when he became director of the agency “were not activities in such number or so surprising as to be a source of national turmoil.” He said they were activities “which, indeed, in retrospect, are to be regretted.” But whether they violated any laws were questions lawyers should decide, he said. Schlesinger was one of three wit nesses to appear Monday before a blue-ribbon panel headed by Vice President Nelson A. Rockefeller which President Ford named to in vestigate allegations the CIA en gaged in widespread spying on Americans. In other developments: — It was learned the White House would an nounce on Wednesday the ap pointment of David W. Belin, 46-year-old Iowa lawyer, to the key post of staff director for the Rock efeller panel. — Deputy Atty. Gen. Laurence H. Silberman issued a five-page statement tracing the establishment during the administration of Lyn don B. Johnson of an intelligence system designed to provide infor mation on persons involved in civil disorders. The statement confirmed that in 1970, the Justice Depart ment gave the names of 10,000 to 12,000 persons on a computer tape to the CIA. “We have been advised that the CIA never put the tape to use and that it was destroyed in March 1974,” Silberman said. -The first of a i congressional investigations of the allegations opens on Wednesday with a hearing before the intellig ence subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee. CIA Director William E. Colby was scheduled to be the lead-off wit ness. Colby was due to return to Capitol Hill on Thursday lor the opening session of Senate Armed Services Committee hearings on the CIA. The CIA chief also was the lead- off witness before the Rockefeller panel on Monday and spent several hours in closed session with the eight-member commission.
