THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1975 Page 7 By TOM DRURY Contributor In case you haven’t made a hard study of the 1974-1975 Texas A&M University Rules and Regulations handbook and noted its differences over the ’73-’74 edition, it should be pointed out that there are some sig nificant ones. One of the major changes in the current handbook is the addition of the Student Rights section of the opening page. Of particular interest is Article IV. It states: “Each stu dent shall be free from disciplinary action by university officials for vio lations of civil and criminal law off campus, except for the infraction of University regulations. ” Further reference is made to off campus violations in Section II, No. 48. It states that disciplinary action will not be taken in off campus crim inal cases unless the offense relates directly to the university. So what do these additions to the regulations handbook mean and how do they benefit the student? Prior to these additions, it was up to the discretion of university offi cials to decide which off campus of fenses constituted a detriment to the university. If they ruled that a detriment did exist through the vio lation of a state or federal law off campus, it was then up to their dis cretion to issue punishment in ac cordance with the offense. Punish ment ranging from reprimand to dismissal from the university. The university was not however, completely given a free hand in its dealings with off campus lawbreak ers. The courts have stated that it is not double jeopardy to subject a student to university action in addi tion to legal action for off campus violations. But during the late 1960’s the courts also recognized that students had constitutional rights applicable in light of the spe cial characteristics of the school en vironment. So university officials did possess the power to take action against stu dents in violation of state or federal laws off campus. At the same time though, they were also responsible for safeguarding the students’ rights through limiting the use of this power to the most serious cases. Airlift Evacuees crowded CLARK AIR BASE, The Philip pines (AP) — About 4,000 Americans and Vietnamese landed here Tues day in the round-the-clock airlift out of Saigon. They found a snarl of red tape and long lines blocking their trip on to the United States. About 1,200 new arrivals were squeezed 20 to a tent in a hastily erected tent city and had to walk long distances to water and toilets. Other evacuees slept on cots in bar racks and on mattresses on gymnasi um floors. Tuesday’s passenger total was larg er than for the entire month of April to date, during which 3,500 people arrived from Saigon. Most have come since April 16 when President Ford ordered nonessential U.S. citizens to -leave Vietnam. Authorities said they expected at least 1,000 more people to arrive during the night and said the tent area could be expanded to house about 5,000 people. Many of the arrivals were American men with Vietnamese wives and children. y/fi A-r: m iH m &***■■' » %SLICEDfiJ FULL QUARTER LM FULL QUARTER LOIN SLICED ASSORTED END & CENTER CUTS LB.

OPEN 7AM Tit MIDNITE DAILY SUNDAY SAM YIU MIDNIYE K Evacuees wanted to continue to •.the United States as soon as possible hut faced a long processing period. Many had no travel documents, hav ing left them behind in the frenzy to leave South Vietnam. Official U. S. spokesmen said five military chartered aircraft with a tofal of 1,600 seats, including three Bofeing 747 jumbo jets, were sched uled to leave Clark on Wednesday morning to carry evacuees to Travis Air Base, Calif. But other sources doubted that there would be enough people finished with red tape to fill the planes. Some evacuees said Red Cross au thorities informed them that they would have to stay two to five weeks to process their papers. “This is no way to treat people,” said Col. Paul Wragg of Tampa, Fla., the chief chaplain at Clark and a cd- ordinator of the program to care for evacuees. “We are overwhelmed by the sheer mass of humanity.” “The U. S. Embassy needs to face what is actual fact,” said the chap*- lain. "When they arrive at Clark these people for all intent and purposes are in the United States. “Unless something happens to break the log jam we will really be in trouble.” About 165 Americans and Vietna mese arrived at Travis AFB Tues day aboard a charter flight. A military spokesman said there were no orphans aboard the Noith- west Airlines plane and all the Viet namese were dependents of the Americans. Nearly 300 Vietnamese refugees, some of them disabled orphans, ar rived at Travis Monday night aboard a World Airways DCS. World Airways spokesmen said the 294 passengers included Vietnamese employes of American companies, their families, a number of crippled and other orphans and Vietnamese Church schools may get help with textbooks AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) — The state could slow the trend toward closing parochial schools by furnishing them textbooks, Rep. Tom Uher, D-Bay City, said Tuesday. Uher’s bill providing parochial schools $3.5 million worth of text books over the next five years was sent to an apparently unfavorable subcommittee after hearing. He ap peared before the House Public Ed ucation Committee and had backing from both Catholic and Lutheran witnesses. "If all the children in private schools went into public schools to morrow, the state would have to spend $400 million to build the nec essary classrooms,” Uher said. Since only books of a non-religious nature would be furnished, there would be no church-state entangle ment, he said. Sustek takes regional honors for soy paper Edna Marie Sustek of Bryan, jun ior food technology major at A&M, has won regional competition with her research paper on food proteins. Her paper is titled “Functional Properties of Two Soy Isolates and Their Maillard Complexes with Glu cose.” Sustek will receive an expense-paid trip June 10-14 to Chicago to pre sent the paper in national competi tion in the Student Forum during the annual meeting of the Institute of Food Technologists.
