iThree incidents of indecent expo-
sijre in the Texas A&M University
library were reported this week, al-
jhough no cases have been filed
juith campus police.
[One woman said she was

Krd floor of the library.

■She described him as being about

She did not report the incident to

ered an exhibitionist Tuesday at
noon while thumbing through some
books on the first floor.
She said a man about 6-foot-l
with thick, sandy-brown hair and
glasses walked up to her and asked,
“Are you working on English?”
She looked up, replied yes, then
continued reading.
“He stood there for 15 minutes
and made little noises like clearing
his throat, but I ignored him,” she
said.
When she started to walk away
she said she noticed he was ex
posed.
“I just kept on walking and acted
like I didn’t see anything. As far as I
know that guy doesn’t know if I saw
him or not. ”
While she was checking out her
books she said the man walked by
and grinned at her.
“I acted like nothing had hap
pened.”
The incident was not reported to
police because he said she felt
nothing would be done about it.
Still another woman was flashed
late Tuesday afternoon.
She said she was studying by the
map room on the fourth floor when
she glanced up to see a tall, dark
haired man reaching for a book on a
top shelf.
She saw that he was exposed.
“It was odd, because I was read
ing about deviants at the time,” she
commented.
She reported the incident to one
of the library clerks, Pam Rowe.
Rowe said she tried to get a male
employe to see if the man was still
around but no one was available.
Instead, she called a librarian on
the third floor who commented,
“Well, it’s spring!”
“I asked her if this was something
to expect every year and she said
yes,” Rowe added.
University Police Chief O.L.
Luther said, “We have had reports
of similiar incidents in the past but
it has been several months.
When the police receive reports
of indecent exposure they investi
gate immediately, Luther said.
“We caught a guy a couple of
months ago. When we catch some
body we usually turn him over to
the administration,” he added.
"What happens to him depends on
the seriousness of the case. ”

“They got what they came for,”
said Capitol Security Chief Bobby
Williams.
Most of the blue jean vested, long
haired bikers sat in the Senate gal
lery during the hearing. Witnesses
complained the bikers’ bad public
image was one reason the helmet
requirement originally was im
posed.
“If a mandatory helmet law was
passed for all vehicle drivers, it
would be termed outrageous and an
infringement on individual freedom
and repealed as quickly as the seat
belt law,” said Beth Arnold of San
Antonio, representative of the Texas
Motorcycle Riders Association.

LEGISLATION requiring indi
vidual gas and electric meters for
apartment units has been approved
by the Senate and sent to the
House. The bill, by Rep. Ron
Glower, D-Garland, would require
installation of individual meters on
any apartment units built after Jan.
1, 1978. “When individual meters
are used, the tenant knows how
much gas and electricity he’s using;
energy consumption decreases on
the order of about 25 per cent,”
Glower said.
DALLAS POLICE who worked
to find missing Ladina McCoy, 7,
now think more in terms of locating
her body. McCoy, disappeared the
morning of Feb. 11. She lived with
her mother and stepfather six blocks
from her elementary school. Police
immediately sought the girl’s
natural father, but he passed a
polygraph test and is not suspected
of involvement. Door-to-door
searches were made, but nothing
has come up, police said.
A 1973 LAW prohibiting advertis
ing of drug prices or claims by a
pharmacy thaf it offered “discount”
prices, has been upheld by the Texas
Supreme Court. Earlier, the law had
been declared unconstitutional. The
high court yesterday said the prohib
ition on advertising amounted to an
improper extension of the state’s
police power.
H. B. GONZALEZ, former head
of a congressional committee inves
tigating assassinations says the na
tion has been infiltrated with a large
number of secret agents, and those
agents succeeded in stopping the
committee’s work, according to an
interview with The San Antonio
Liqht yesterday. Gonzales, D-Tex.,
said committee counsel Richard
Sprague met with Cuban agents.

AN OIL-SPILL detection system
will be launched in satellites by
1978 and will be capable of spotting
pollution trails as small as those left
by ships pumping bilge, according
to an Environmental Protection
Agency Scientist. The detection sys
tem uses a scanner that notices color

locean. It will be able to spot spills as
small as 100 barrels.
A METHOD to speed surgery

said helmets may actually cause ac
cidents because they impair cyclists’
vision and hearing.
“Safety is not something you buy
and put on,” Finch said.
Michael Anthony Stanisci Jr. of
Hurst, spokesman for the Cycle
Club of Fort Worth, said accidents
increased after the helmet laws
were imposed because, “it gave the
wearer a false sense of security.”
“He feels like he has his head in a
phone booth while he’s flying down
the highway at 60 miles per hour,”
Stanisci said.
Stanisci said temperatures inside
helmets go as high as 120 degrees in
warm weather, cause stress and
fatigue and slow driver reflexes.
