plained. “And that is what my cam

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

“I was able to have his ticket re

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.”

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.
