College Ave. 822-7661 » courot By TERRY DURAN Battalion Reporter Wednesday evening, 6:30. “The Aggie War Hymn” echoed off the Quad dormi tory walls. About two dozen college representatives from across the country watched as the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets passed by. The event was the fourth annual meeting of the Amer ican Association of Military Schools, bringing together representatives of the United States’ six traditional military schools. University presidents and professors of military scien ce came from the Virginia Military Institute in Lexing ton, Va., the Virginia Polytechnical Institute in Black sburg, Va., The Citadel in Charleston, S.C., North Georgia College in Dahlonega, Ga., Norwich Universi ty in Northfield, Vt. and Texas A&M University came to discuss problems peculiar to their institutions. Texas A&M is classified as a “traditional military school” — along with Virginia Polytechnical Institute — even though participation in military training activities is not mandatory at the two, as it is at the other four institutions. Capt. Charles J. Green, coordinator of the convention, says this is because the definition of the term is to have a full-time cadet corps that lives together on campus. The other four colleges — VMI, The Citadel, Nor wich University and North Georgia College — have retained their requirements for all students to be enrol led in some form of military instruction, although North Georgia College allows female students to enroll with out participating in military training. Green, a Texas A&M Army instructor, said the asso ciation was formed four years ago to promote the com mon interests of the schools. “We (the six military schools) feel we provide more than the normal share of officers for the armed services, ” he said. He pointed out that although the six schools only have about two per cent of the total number of students enrolled in ROTC in the nation, they furnish about seven per cent of the officers that are commis sioned through college programs. The officers and administrators that attended the con ference arrived Wednesday afternoon and attended a dinner at Dr. John Koldus’ home after watching the Corps pass by at evening formation. Business meetings began Thursday morning, Green said, as the attendees discussed such problems as: — uniform procurement. Four of the six schools wear distinctive uniforms found nowhere else, and keeping a sufficient stock of uniforms on hand can sometimes be a problem. — increased scholarship opportunities for cadets. Here again, Green said, it is felt by the association that they “deserve a little more” than a regular civilian school that has an ROTC program where the cadets only wear a uniform to class and don’t live together. — recruiting. In some cases, a student of the school is automatically in the cadet corps there; in others. Green said, the students “have to be fought for to a certain extent,” since participation in cadet activities is not mandatory. American illustrators display work here MAKE I m t-L.

United Press International PETROS, Tenn. — Tennessee’s best-known prison inmate, James Earl Ray, wants to cast a ballot in the upcoming Nov. 4 election along with many other convicts in the state’s prisons. State officials confirmed that Ray, serving a 99-year sentence at Brushy Mountain State Prison for the slaying of Martin Luther King Jr., had re quested an absentee ballot and asked prison authorities not to release any information about his application. However, John Parish, press sec retary to Gov. Lamar Alexander, provided confirmation of the applica tion. United Press International MIDDLETOWN, Pa. — A five-member team Thursday completed the third human entry into the contaminated Three Mile Island nuc lear reactor building, performing the first maintenance since the March 1979 accident. The entry was the longest to date, with two men emerging from the building at noon, after 90 minutes inside. The other three left the building after about 55 minutes. Initially, plant operators planned to have two technicians exit the building after about 25 minutes, while the others stayed for about an hour. The longer stay indicated radiation levels were lower than expected, plant officials said. “As far as I can tell it went very well, just based on the fact thatallof them stayed in longer than the predicted times,” a plant spokesmaa said. “All of them said they feel fine.” Plant spokesman David Delzingaro said the team was able to com plete one of its goals — opening an access door to the outside of the | building that had been jammed since the accident. The team was also to take extensive photographs and radiation tests inside the building to aid cleanup efforts. Members of the team included four employees of plant operator [p Metropolitan Edison Co.: Larry Eberly, 44; Guy Wise, 45; Richard, Croll, 28, and Peter Keegan, 27. The fifth person, Sam Griffith, 28,is; employed by a plant subcontractor, Nuclear Support Services Inc. i Each was dressed in protective boots and coveralls and carried a battery-powered oxygen pack. None wore the firefighter-like protec-. tive coats used by members of earlier entry missions, Met-Ed spokes- j man John Fidler said.
