74-year-old
uses judo
on mugger
United Press International
CHICHESTER, Sussex, England
— There is at least one English
mugger who will think twice the
next time he picks on a little old
lady.
He will be the burly fellow about
six feet tall, in his 20s, who attacked
74-year-old grandmother Ethel
West as she was coming home from
her shopping Thursday heavily
laden with groceries.
The mugger tried to grab Mrs.
West’s handbag but she grabbed his
arm in a judo hold instead and
twisted it behind his back until he
screamed with pain, wrenched away
and fled.
“I used to practice judo when I
was younger, but I have been get
ting a bit unfit recently,” Mrs. West
explained.
“If I hadn’t been loaded down
with shopping and taken by surprise
I would have floored him,” she said.
Three programming committees,
national, international, and state,
have the job of compiling a list of
prospective speakers. The MSC
Council must approve every
speaker before he is invited to or
allowed at Texas A&M.
McGregor said the council gives
them a lot of freedom. Generally,
the reason a speaker may not be al
lowed to come to Texas A&M is be
cause “one of the council members
has heard he is a lousy speaker,”
McGregor said.
Ray Daniels, MSC Council presi
dent, said although it is not a policy,
it is an assumea restriction that a
person under indictment of or con
victed of a felony may not speak.
“The only speaker that might
have been disqualified within the
past 12 month, while I have served
as president, was because he had
spoken before and was an inept
speaker,” Daniels said. “Our func
tion is merely to approve speakers
to come and speak at this Univer
sity,” he added.
The national programs committee
chairman, Blaine Bull, confirmed
this in his cause of wanting John
Dean to speak. The council refused
permission because of Dean s back
ground as a convicted felon along
with the fact of crash planning.

On The Road
You know, almost ever since I
can remember, something has
been following me around! It’s
been a sort of a sense that I’m not
alone, that something’s been wait
ing for me to turn and find it or see
it. An event or happening is wait
ing for me to arrive. It’s sorta hard
to describe, yet that doesn t in any
way diminish its presence or its
reality.
When I was very young, maybe
six or so, my two older sisters cor
nered me in a bedroom. They told
me about Jesus. How Fie had died
for me and forgiven my sins. How I
could live with Him forever. That
word “forever” cut right through
me. I can almost place myself back
in the experience of that moment. I
caught a fleeting glance of some
thing eternal, something far be
yond the limits of myself. Since
that day I’ve not been alone.
Now I wouldn’t have you think
my life since then has been one of
heavenly experiences. For the
most part it’s been quite the oppo
site. There was much strife in my
home. A constant quarreling and
division developed between my
parents. Irrational and unbelieva
bly painful events transpired.
Things happened that seemed to
strike at the very heart of my be
ing.
My mom felt my hurt almost as
much as I. In a situation beyond
her control she pointed me toward
God. She spoke to me so much
about Jesus that I’d get mad at her.
What place did He have in our
home? What was He doing about
this situation? I mean at times it
was a real battle to go home. If
there wasn’t some completely
crazy fight going on, there’d be
good old mom preaching to me artd
watching to see what effect this de
bate was having on my life.
For the sake of self protection, I
built a wall around my inner self.
There were very few people who
earned enough of my trust to enter
into that sanctum. My feelings and
thoughts were my own, not for
public inspection. The deeper I
went into myself, the more
thorough my barrier to the outside
world, the more acutely aware I
became that I was not alone. Fur
ther inside of me than I could reach
or exclude was a person, Jesus.
Now I wouldn’t have you think
my behavior reflected the fact that
God was inside me. It didn’t stop
me from doing all the things high
school kids do and never tell their
parents. Perhaps I even wandered
further afield than you. Yet there
was this person pricking my con
science. He always seemed to stop
me from taking that one last step
that would turn my escapades into
disaster.
I used college as sort of an
emergency exit from home. I d had
my fill with those problems. It was
time to get far away and see some
thing new. A big city like Houston
has about as many diversions as
one could ask. I spent two years
exploring downtown, the people,
concerts etc. as well as many varie
ties of weed and pills. The person
inside watched all this, pushing the
button on my conscience more fre
quently and with more force.
The last two years I decided to
get my act together. The escapades
were more controlled, replaced in
part by some heavy duty studying.
I got the good grades and found a
beautiful girl who loved me more
than I could believe. I figured I
was beginning to get life wired,
you know — under control. This
was the kind of situation I’d always
looked forward to. In my mind’s
eye I figured this level of living
would carry with it happiness.
The fellow inside me had differ
ent ideas however. He began
pressing me for much more than
He ever had before — He wanted
my life. I didn’t know exactly what
to do. Here I’d begun to realize
some positive things, some dreams
come true in my life — yet He was
telling me to lay them aside. I
