He said he is able to attract atten tion to the problems presented in his investigations through the use of his television camera. “Sometimes you have to hit a jac kass over the head with a 2-by-4 to get his attention,” Zindler ex plained. “And that is what my cam era does — it’s the 2-by-4.” Zindler told of a recent case that, he said, “really got me.” He was covering a story in the Municipal Court building, he said, and saw a man in a wheelchair wait ing in line to pay a traffic ticket. The young man was a student at the University of Houston and had parked his van — clearly marked as a vehicle owned by a handicapped person — in an area reserved for the handicapped. The student had received a ticket, Zindler said, and because of a mix-up in communication, his ap pointment for appeal had not been recorded. Zindler walked up as the young man was about to he put in jail be cause he didn’t have enough money to post bond. “I was able to have his ticket re moved,” Zindler said. into the parking lot behind Aston Hall, Hayes said. “There was no damage to any of the dorms or any of the cars in the parking lot, Hayes said. Commons Area Coordinator Paul Henry said the only complaints from residents concerned some pipes which leaked when the lines were pressured up again after repairs had been made. United Press International MEXICO CITY — A dragnet of federal agents and soldiers has cap tured a 13-member Mexican drug ring that smuggled heroin and marijuana from Colombia to Mexico and the United States, authorities reported. Authorities said Monday the hand of Mexican drug smugglers that in cluded one woman, was arrested in couple of junior high schools,” he said. “It is difficult to say how effec tive it is, but the mere presence concerns us very much.” Rose said a student group at Phil lips University, a private college at Enid, had invited a KKK speaker to the campus and offered to pay him a fee. “We are working on some rec ommendations for the schools,” Rose said, “centering on programs to expose the history of the Klan and to counter its philosophy.” FLIGHT INSTRUCTION • Glider # Airplane • Aerobatics Sundowner Flying Club Muse Field (between Mumford & Hearne on Hwy. 50) For information call Mary 693-1428 PRATT & WHITNEY AIRCRAFT GROUP A division of UNITED TECHNOLOGIES will be CAMPUS FEBRUARY 29, 1980 to interview candidates for attractive opportunities in HIGH TECHNOLOGY Consult your Placement Office for degree and field of study requirements An Equal Opportunity Employer w Magazine dormant since 1972 Engineering journal revived By KENT DUNLAP Battalion Reporter After seven years of non existence, The Texas A&M Engi neer wall once again be distributed to the faculty and students in the College of Engineering. The magazine’s first issue will ar rive Thursday, according to Steve Bottler, a senior nuclear engineer ing student who is editor of the magazine. The magazine was first printed in 1940. It continued until 1972 when University funds were cut off. “The cost was high and the dean thought the magazine was not worth the money being spent on it,” Rot- tier said. There was talk of reviving the magazine two years ago, but the Engineering Council could not find an editor and adequate funds were not available, Bottler said. Both problems appear to have been solved. Money for the new magazine will come from advertising instead of University funds. The magazine has an account with a New York firm to recruit advertisers across the nation. Bottler said the magazine will ac cept national advertisements and the staff will not attempt to gather local advertisemments unless it be comes necessary. Although the name will remain the same. Bottler said the new magazine will contain several changes. Bottler said content would be the biggest change because a different emphasis and direction has been placed on the new magazine. The old magazine was basically a school magazine, and the staff did an excellent job with what it had to work with, Bottler said. Bottler said the new magazine will not be technical but profes sional. The magazine will be dealing in engineering research and develop ment as it applies to today’s prob lems, Bottler said. Bottler said the magazine will not get involved in either political or University issues. “Everything in the magazine has a purpose and there will he no need to fill space with other outside is sues,” Bottler said. In addition to the content, the magazine will also have a new logo and a new format.
