This is the first in a series of arti cles by Lee Roy Leschper inves tigating the activities of the A&M University Police. By LEE ROY LESCHPER, JR. Battalion Staff Writer Thirty years ago last month the first Texas A&M University Police force began patrolling campus. Since then the force has grown to a complex, highly professional law en forcement agency. Former Chief Fred Hickman headed that first five-man force of security guards. Hickman spent eighteen years with the Texas De partment of Public Safety (DPS) and had headed the first DPS training school prior to becoming A&M chief of security, according to university records. He retired in 1963 after serving the A&M force seventeen years. Former Chief Ed E. Powell suc ceeded Hickman as chief of the by then 10-man force. A member of the DPS for fifteen years, Powell was also Taylor County Sheriff and head of the A&M Police Training School before becoming university chief, records show. Powell retired in Au gust, 1971. In 1968 the Texas Legislature passed a bill making Texas state uni versity security police commis sioned peace officers. At this time the A&M force made the transition from security guards to University Police (UP). As commissioned officers they are subject to a six-week intensive train ing program and a six-month proba tion period. Chief O. L. Luther has been in charge of the force for the last four years. Luther is a former Texas Ranger who spent almost 30 years in Brazos County with the DPS before becoming university police chief. Today, Chief Luther and Assis tant Chief Morris Maddox head a 41-member force. Officers on the force include 26 uniformed patrol men and two patrolwomen, four in vestigators and five supervisors. Four non-commissioned office staff members complete the force. University policemen patrol all A&M property in College Station in three shifts, 24 hours a day. “We usually try to have at least seven (patrolmen) on the evening (3 p.m. to 11 p.m.) and night (11 p.m. to 7 a.m.) shifts,” Luther said. Each patrolman is assigned a zone of patrol during his shift. No officer is assigned specifically to issue park ing tickets.

But how to find the best plan for you and your family? Talk things over with the man from Provident Mutual. You’ll find him helpful, low-key and very understanding. Be frank with him. Openly discuss your objectives with him ... college for the kids, retirement income, security in general. He’ll come up with a program that will be both efficient and economical. It’s his job to keep your head clear. Kirk W. Francis Linbarry Associates Suite 27,707 University Dr. College Station, Tex. 77840 Bus.

Members of the “Kampus Kops”, as the University Police are com monly called, have jurisdiction only on university property. However, they do occasionally operate off- campus in conjunction with other local law enforcement agencies. “It depends on the circumstances ofthecase,”ChiefLuthef said. “For example, if an offense occurs on- campus and the suspect is in Bryan or College Station, then we coordi nate that investigation with that de partment, or with the department that would have jurisdiction.” Under such conditions, Univer sity Police have worked with both Bryan and College Station Police Departments, the Brazos County Sheriff s Department, and the Texas Department of Public Safety. College Station, Brazos County, and State law enforcement agencies also have jurisdiction on the A&M Animal frustration results from place in pecking order People who have dogs that bite, snarl, bark a lot, overeat, chew fur niture or lapse in their housebreak ing may not dominate their pet enough, says a Texas A&M animal behaviorist who is one of the few such professionals in the country. These canine antics can result from a dog’s frustration and confu sion over its place — or lack of it — in the family pecking order, be lieves Dr. Bonnie Beaver, veteri nary ethologist. Dogs are basically pack animals with a strong drive to know exactly where in the hierarchy they stand. Often, says Beaver, humans use their pet as a child substitute and the dog grows to assume it is second only to the family’s “top dog, usu ally the husband. Canines become frustrated when they’re expected to obey commands from the wife and, if any, the chil dren who are seen by the dog as lower in the pecking order. Proper training should be in itiated, advises Beaver, to let the dog know he is expected to be obe dient to all family members. Another source of frustration, a lack of activity and exercise, is suf fered by the larger, more popular dog breeds. Many times they are confined to small houses or apart ments and cannot get the exercise they desperately desire. Results may be barking, biting, or a lapse in housebreaking habits. Cats, although well-known for their independence, are also begin ning to show up on the frustration lists, she adds, especially in cases where humans demand the cat be affectionate, eat at a certain time or behave in a similar strict manner. But cats generally take things their own way. However, an impor tant problem to remember is feed ing. Cats will literally starve them selves to death, she cautions, before eating something they are not famil iar with or that does not appeal to them. If fed a variety of foods as a kitten, the adult will probably be more amenable to more foods. But if younger diets are restricted, the finickiness persists. Beaver, recently elected presi dent of the new American Society of Veterinary Ethology, states that the relatively new field faces a number of problems. One of the biggest in research is ascertaining just how different ani mals perceive their surroundings. She points to the horse as an excel lent archetype. Unlike humans, the horse does not see in three-dimension. Furth er, its vision is panoramic because of the eyes’ position.
