Two fires reported on campus, /

‘Hi n

A fire in a chemistry professor’s
laboratory Sunday afternoon caused
considerable water and smoke dam
age to the east end of the Texas
A&M University chemistry build-
ing.
Three units of the College Station
fire department were dispatched to
the scene about 4 p.m.
Dr. George I. Glover estimated
damage of “at least $5,000” to
equipment in his lab on the fourth
floor of the building. Smoke and
water damage to the building has
not yet been estimated, but Glover
predicted it would be considerably
greater than damage to equipment.
Fire department officials specu
lated that the fire had started when
an electric motor on a freeze-drying
unit overheated and papers on the
shelves and desks near the machine
caught fire.
However, no official cause of the
fire had been determined Sunday.
Tammy Hardin, a graduate stu
dent in chemistry who was working
in a lab near Glover s when the fire
broke out, said she couldn’t get near
enough the lab to use a fire extin
guisher because of the smoke.
The fire department also received
a call at 8:47 Sunday night reporting
that smoke was seen in Dunn dor-

Dunn, a men’s dorm, was
evacuated. Smoke was seen on the
third and fourth floor of Dunn and
firemen were checking rooms,
Charles Yeager, assistant fire chief
said. He said there was a high possi
bility that someone had set off a
smoke bomb.
After checking the building, fire
fighter Ray Neblett said he found a
light haze of smoke that smelled like
sulfur on the first and second floor of
Dunn. He said the only thing he
found was a burned spot about the
size of his palm on the floor at the
west entrance of Dunn.
Fire Lt. Morgan Cook, said that
someone might have set fire li

west entrance of Dunn. Hesaidtl
this would cause most of the si
to travel up the stairwell ti

smoke had been found.
Mark Humbert, head resident

In some cases, according to
Maria, the illegal alien is paid more
than the American because he
works harder.
Currently, no law forbids the hir
ing of illegal aliens as employees, al
though it is illegal for the illegal
alien to work in the United States
without a work permit.
In the past, efforts have been
made to pass legislation prohibiting
the hiring of illegal aliens. The bill,
introduced by New Jersey Rep
resentative Peter Rodino, met with
stiff’ opposition. Mexican-American
leaders contend that the bill, which
requires that proof of citizenship
be carried at all times, violates a
person’s civil rights, and could be
carried to discriminatory extremes
by overzealos law enforcement
officials.
Cav
Raza Unida Party spokesman Jose
Angel Gutierre asked why he should
be required to show proof of his citi
zenship because his skin is darker
than others. The Raza Unida Party
is a Mexican-American organization
based in Crystal City, in South
Texas.

A POLITICIAN
In September of 1969 I returned to
school after my third summer in Europe.
I had traveled all over western and east
ern Europe as well as parts of North Af
rica. This trip abroad had a profound ef
fect on my outlook. For the first time my
eyes were opened to see that there was
more to life than my political ambition.
I was raised in a conservative upper
middle class home in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana. My father was a doctor and
my mother a professional artist. I had a
wonderful childhood. My environment
was one of education and achievement,
and to my consideration, anything that
frustrated my long-range objectives was’
nonsense and not to be tolerated. Suc
cess meant everything to me.
From early childhood, I was fascinated
with politics. When I was in elementary
school, I stayed up into the early hours of
the morning to see if Chep Morrison had
finally been elected Governor of
Louisiana — he lost. In Junior High
School I sketched out my political plans
through my first term as Governor of
Louisiana. I carefully weighed the signif
icance of every election I could see
ahead. Some years I would run for a less
office, to gain support from other fac
tions. Of course in the key elections I
would take the top spot. From the
seventh grade until the twelfth, all went
as planned. I finished my senior year in
high school serving as Student Body
President, Governor of Louisiana Boy’s
State, and Vice-President of Key Club
International. Before I entered college I
had already traveled and spoken all over
the south and parts of the midwest and
northeast. Having studied Louisiana
politics and former successful politicians,
I decided to attend L. S. U. rather than a
private university. The political advan
tages of this decision were foremost in
my mind.
Upon entering L. S. U., I began a cam
paign for President of the freshman class.
The night it was announced that I had
lost to Ralph Hubbard, tears rolled down
my cheeks; I had poured myself out on
that race and felt I was by far the best
qualified. I pulled myself together, went
into the middle of the victorious crowd
and started shaking hands. My next
campaign began that night.
As student issues became more in
volved and political questions of the day
more complex, I tended to turn inward. I
became serious about finding the mean
ing for human life. I read Plato, Marx,
Nietzche, Sartre, Locke, and others. I
began to realize there must be more to
life than satisfying my ego.
By the end of my sophomore year I
was riding high on the political scene.
But the more my political front grew, the
more I felt in chains. I couldn’t even walk
across the parade grounds without a
thousand empty hellos. I was on more
committees and in more meetings than I
could stomach. I really wanted to be
free. The more I studied philosophy,
particularly existential thought, the
more I realized I was living in a world of
unreality. I had developed almost one
criterion for every move I made — how
about the votes? What will this mean in
the next election and what about twenty
years from now? There grew an ever in
creasing inner battle. On one hand I felt
if I could just make it to the top it would
all be worth it; on the other hand I felt
like such a hypocrite. I knew I was a
hypocrite — what a hypocrite! What
about truth! Was my life worth nothing
more than attaining some political suc
cess? The inner battle continued to in
crease.
During the summer before my junior
year, I made my third trip to Europe. I
was in Prague in late August of 1969,
right in the middle of a nationwide upris
ing in protest to the Russian overthrow of
the Dubcek regime. While tanks, tear
gas and soldiers filled my senses, and I
witnessed human suffering and struggle
as never before, I couldn’t help but feel
ashamed of my egotistical political ambi
tion. What was I doing? I was playing
games with my life. A few weeks before,
as I had stood before the Tomb of Napo
leon in Paris, I remembered thinking:
“He made it big. . . history has been
written about Him ... in many respects
he was great, but what about now? . . .
Can he enjoy his former success?. . .
What is he doing right now?” All my
values came into question. I had become
trapped at the age of nineteen to ambi
tion. Politics had become my master and
success my chains. My desire to escape
all of that increased.
After returning to L.S.U. in the fall of
1969,1 was back in the rate race; commit
tees, issues, politics, empty words, fake
hellos, and vain activities. But I con
tinued, and gradually became the ac
knowledged responsible student leader
on campus. Inside, however, no one
knew the pain and suffering I was ex
periencing. My life was empty and very
lonely.
My years of careful political prepara
tion resulted in my being easily elected
President of the L.S.U. Student Body in
April of 1970.
A few weeks after the election, I re
ceived a phone call from Governor
McKeithen’s office informing me that he
wanted me to lead a prayer at the Gover
nor’s Annual Prayer Breakfast. When I
hung up and told everyone in the office,
we all had a big laugh. I thought, “what a
farce!”, but I realized that every good
politician also needed a little religion. So
I did it. What a joke!
I had heard the gospel of Jesus Christ
only a few times in my life. I believe
many Christians were afraid of me, and
thought I wouldn’t be interested. I re
member one day at “free speech alley” a
young man boldly stood up and told how
Jesus Christ had given meaning to his
life. I was very interested; it seemed as if
the words he spoke were like cool water.
One night at a party while I was in politi
cal high gear speaking to people, I ran
into this fellow. I quizzed him for over an
hour. Though I was supposedly a campus
big-shot, and he a nobody, it was the
other way around. He spoke with ease,
confidence, authority, and enjoyment. I
was fascinated.
My emptiness remained. By the end
of my junior year, after only a month as
Student Body President, I realized my
life was still empty. I was taking an hon
ors class that semester, especially ar
ranged for five students by the Chairman
of the Philosophy Department. Our final
was a paper and mine was the fourth to
be presented. I read it out loud to my
classmates and to Dr. Bigger. I said basi
cally this: I’ve just been elected Presi
dent of 19,000 students and yet there is
no meaning to my life. I have no reason
to get up in the morning. I have no pur
pose in even writing this paper. Death or
life — what is the difference? Die now or
later — in time, who will care and what
does it matter? Success or failure — in
ten thousand years it will mean nothing.
The whole class was silent. Dr. Bigger
hung his head, told us to continue
searching for the truth and dismissed the
class. By the sovereignty of God there
was a student in the class who knew Jesus
Christ. The next week he presented his
paper. As I listened it seemed as if those
words were so refreshing. He said that
we could live in a realm called Grace,
which was Jesus Christ Himself. In
Jesus, he said, everything was real. After
class I quizzed him on several points.
We had another class together. Con
stitutional Law, and arranged to si
four our final at my house. I’ll nf
forget that night. There were four o(o:
the room, two Christians and twoun!
lievers. As we discussed cases and
eepts of justice and mercy, theconw
tion shifted to Jesus Christ. I dont
member exactly what was said, but
hours rolled by. I was mostly listeninji
the two Christians spoke of the realit) 1
Jesus Christ. The words poured out
them like streams of living water, a
drank every word. It is hard to
exactly what happened, except that
whole being was opened to Jesus Cl
I knew He was real; I knew He
Reality. It seemed as if Lightpoured
the room — my whole being was li
with Light. I could hardly believe it,
1 knew it — Jesus Christ was real
about 4:30 a.m. the phone rang,
father of my Christian friend had
fered a coronary heart attack and wail
the hospital. Both of the Christiansld
Chuck, the other unbeliever, and I^
mained. I was frill to the brimanJi 1
peace for the first time in over tweif
years. When they left I remembera!'l
ing, “I can’t believe it, but I’ve beconiej|
Christian.” I shared with Chuck
10:00 a.m. about the reality of Ji
Christ. I don’t know where it camefro® j
but it just kept pouring out.
From that day. May 22, ]
whole life has changed. I rememl
walking on campus the next day. Even'
thing looked different. I had been /
free; Jesus had set me free. My heart"*
filled with love, real love, for everyone!

another vote. I didn’t need that ai?
more. I had Jesus. He was Real. He"®:
in me! I can’t describe the joy in u)
heart. It was beyond description. It"®
too great! Actually this is only the begin'
ning, but what has happened since tlei
is another story for another time, Jesi#
Christ has set me free. Jesus Christ is]
