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.

students and staff got an unexpected
vacation from classes Thursday
morning.
There were some electrical prob
lems which required the electricity
to be turned off for a few hours, said
Lyndon Kurtz, assistant to the dean
of Veterinary Medicine.
“We were told it would take two to
four hours to repair, so we told ev
erybody to go home and be back at
noon,” he said.
The power was turned back on at
10 a.m. and classes resumed at noon •

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.

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.
In Harrisburg, Pa., the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board of the M
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Wednesday started hearings By 1
into whether Met-Ed can restart the undamaged Unit No. 1 reactor a:
Three Mile Island.
