All eight passage
to surprise prof
By JACK HODGES
Battalion Staff Writer
A Texas A&M University political
science professor said Thursday he
will be surprised if all eight proposi
tions that will revise the present
Texas constitution pass next Tues
day.
“But I will vote in favor of all eight
propositions and they will improve
what we have now, Gary Halter,
also a College Station Councilman,
said. “One of the reasons why it is
better is that one of the changes in
the revision is the integration of the
Texas Supreme Court with the
Criminal Court of Appeals.
According to the present con
stitution it has separate functional
bodies in the judicial process. The

Texas Supreme Court handles civil
matters while the Court of Criminal
Appeals hear criminal appeals.
“Right now, the civil appeals
courts do nothing and the criminal
Appeals courts are too bogged down
with cases, Halter said.
“If the judicial proposition is pas
sed all courts will be able to handle
criminal and civil matters, accord
ing to the proposition.”
To have legislative sessions every
year seems to be one of the better
parts of the revision, Halter said.
“Almost all of the states have
them and I can’t understand why we
don’t,” he said.
The local government proposi
tion may fail because of the re
organization of government offices,
Halter said.
Peace Corps alive,
well and recruiting
By LEE ROY LESCHPER, JR.
Battalion Staff Writer
The Peace Corps is alive, well,
and looking for help. So say rep
resentatives who will be recruiting
on campus next week.
Representatives will be in the
first floor MSC corridor Monday
through Thursday, from 8:30 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m. each day. Representa
tives will also be interviewing pros
pective volunteers in the Placement
Office on the tenth floor of Rudder
Tower.
Volunteers will be recruited for
either a 27 month Peace Corps
commitment, or a 13-month tour
with Volunteers In Service To
America (VISTA), representative
Pat Brian said Wednesday. The
Peace Corps operates entirely over
seas, while VISTA is an inter-USA
program.
Only graduating seniors and
graduate students are eligible for
the programs, Brian said. The most
desired students are those with
specific skills rather than
“generalists”, he said.
“We don’t train them in a skill,”
Brian said. “They have to he qual
ified prior to going in, because
they’re hopefully going to be in a
position to utilize their background
or skills.
A&M graduate student and Peace
Corps representative Phil Leturte
said that degrees in agronomy, ani
mal science, economics, and civil
engineering will almost guarantee a
Peace Corps position.
7,600 volunteers are presently
working under the overseas prog
ram in 63 underdeveloped coun
tries in the Caribbean, Central and
South America, the Pacific, Africa,
and Asia.
Cbrps members receive three
months of language training and
then work for the next two years
overseas. All such operations are
coordinated and operated through
corresponding agencies of that
country’s government.
For his service, the volunteer re
ceives transportation expenses, a
living allowance while in the prog
ram, and a readjustment allowance
about $2000, after leaving the prog-
Bonfire nears
“The monetary rewards are not
there, but I think they are overcome
by the other benefits,” said Brian,
who spent two years working with
agricultural programs in Colombia.
He cited exposure to other cul
tures, extensive experience in a
volunteer’s field, greater self-
awareness, and travel opportunities
as examples of such benefits.
Ecologists, Ags, in
environmental battle
By DON MIDDLETON
Battalion Staff Writer
As Thanksgiving Day draws near,
the annual battle between zealous
bonfire fans and environmentalists
begins to shape up. But this year,
the defenders of Mother Nature
may not have a leg to stand on.
In the past few years, the annual
bonfire has been criticized as a use
less waste of trees by vehement
ecologists. Not so say the experts.
“At one time this area was grass
land that was maintained by
periodic natural grass fires,” said
Dr. Joseph L. Schuster, head of the
Range Science Department.
“When man intervened and stop
ped the fires, the range was invaded
by the brush and scrub trees that are
on it now.
“The ecological impact of the bon
fire is minimal,” Schuster said. I he
timber is of little economic value
and the pollution created by the
burning of natural fuels is negligi
ble.”
This year, one of the bonfire cut
ting areas will be part of a pi oject by

the Range Science Department to
restore part of the University-
Owned land to its natural grassland
condition. The land is located two
miles from the campus off Farm
Road 2818.
The program is under the direc
tion of Dr. Jerry Stuth, assistant
Professor of Range Science. It will
focus on the clearing of the post oak
trees and low-lying brush to re
create what Stuth referred to as
“savannah.”
A savannah is a grassy, open
range dotted by occasional clumps
of trees. According to Stuth and
Schuster historical records show
this is the condition that charac
terized most of South-Central Texas
before man began using the land for
agricultural purposes.
Once cleared, the land will be
used for teaching and demonstra
tion purposes. Classes in Range
Ecology as well as those dealing
with range vegetation, weed and
brush control and range manage
ment will use the site as a laborat
ory.
“We re looking at the area as a
place to study the natural succession
of plants in a grassland and the com
petition of the various species,”
Stuth said. “We ll also be studying
the effect of fires and granulated
herbicides as methods of brush con
trol.
The Range Science department
will be supervising the cutting in
co-operation student bonfire per
sonnel headed by senior Clayton
Kennedy. A buffer zone around the
area will be left in ah effort to avoid
unauthorized use oh the land.
The student body will provide the
labor and the equipment for the op
eration. The Range Science De
partment will supply the technical
assistance to insure the land is
cleared properly.
