(Continued from page 1) banished as the shooting started, he was thought go be unhurt. That report was given to reporters for more [than a half hour after the shooting, but his wound vas reported at a hastily arranged briefing quar- i Iters at me university medical school by Lyn Nof- priger, who had been Reagan’s press secretary during much of his political career but now is the /hite House political affairs chief. Nofziger reported only that the president had oeen shot in the left chest and that his condition vas stable. At the time, doctors were busy put ting a tube in his chest to restore a partially collapsed lung and drain off blood from the vound. There followed a lengthy test for blood in the [abdominal cavity and other tests. The president vas given five units — about 2 1 /2-quarts — of ley Iheld without bond until a preliminary hearing on IThursday. Hinckley said little more than “yes sir” [during his appearance before the magistrate. Hinckley was arrested last October in Nashvil- |le, Tenn., while President Carter was campaign- ling in the city. An airport security officer said [Hinckley was trying to board an airplane with I three guns and ammunition in a suitcase. He was [fined and released after the guns were confis- ■ cated. Hinckley, blonde and husky, is the son of Denver energy executive John W. Hinckley Sr. He had been “under psychiatric care,” the fami ly’s attorney said. “However, the evaluations did not alert any one to the seriousness of his condition,” said the attorney, Jim Robinson. The family, said to be religious and politically conservative, was de scribed as “grieved and heartbroken” by the events. In Chicago, an official of the neo-Nazi National Socialist Party said Hinckley had been expelled from the group in 1979 because he “wanted to shoot people and blow things up.” Young Hinckley was bom in Ardmore, Okla., May 29, 1955, and reared in Highland Park, Texas, a Dallas suburb. His parents moved to Evergreen Park, an affluent suburb of Denver in 1974, but John Jr. finished high school in High land Park, and went on to Texas Tech University at Lubbock. He left without getting a degree last year. “He’s a loner,” said an acquaintance in Lub bock Monday. “I never saw the guy with anyone.” The assault shocked and appalled official Washington and brought statements of concern from around the nation and overseas. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., whose brothers John and Robert were assassinated, said, “Violence and hatred are alien to everything this country is all about. With our prayers must go our resolution to rid our society of violence and its cause.” Chairman Peter Rodino of the House Judiciary Committee said he would push for a ban on “Saturday Night Special” handguns and to tight en gun sales reporting.

I Wasson objected to the Candi das es being divided into small Houps for questioning from the aldience. [ And still another citizen con- t|nded that the forum was not what it was advertised to be and did not fulfill the needs of a public awareness session. I But Painter said, “A public fern in with that type of question- and-answer session would have turned into a public inquisition of fthe candidates.” I Cathy Reaves, AVA member, said the confusion should not have j occurred and refused to change to a| panel-discussion format. [ “We, (the AVA), discussed this, laid it out and then called the rather groups to see if they would be interested in co-sponsoring it,” she said. I The AVA is a partisan commit tee formed to elect the three chal- jlbnger candidates — Dr. Alvin ■rause, Nancy Thornberry and Jim Gardner, Dr. Painter said. I Candidate speeches came only [after Reaves threatened to end any discussion rather than change the format. I The overriding thrust of the speeches concerned future indus try and park development plan ning. Prause said the next city coun cil must “increase the tax base while developing a public respect for the zoning.” The candidate’s opponent, Roy Kelley, was out of town and didn’t attend the meeting. Larry Ringer, incumbent city council member, pointed to the city parks’ development as the council’s major recent success. “If you think back to five years ago, we’ve made some tremen dous strides in the park system, but we still have a way to go,” he said. Nancy Thornberry, Ringer’s challenger, called for all candi dates to “disclose all real estate holdings in College Station and its vicinity to provide a listing of all developed or undeveloped prop erty.” And incumbent city council member Tony Jones attacked the way campaigns were being run. “We, (the present council), are being accused of being crooks and cannot rebuff these statements in public,” he said. His opponent, Jim Gardner, accused Jones of “significant de viations” from his campaign prom ises to his voting habits. ponDOQiMnDiDOiDanoiDaaoiaaiaaiaDioaioapaiDDiDCJionirininninninnifm FREE MOVIE The Association of Baptist Students will be showing “A Distant Thunder” on Tuesday March 31st.

SOUTH COLLEGE STATION, TX. 713-693-7444 By KATHY O’CONNELL Battalion Staff After a lengthy discussion, the MSC Council voted to table a proposal that would allow the Committee for Awareness of Mex- ican-American Cultures to be come a charter member of a state organization for Mexican- American students. Movimiento Estudiantil Chica- no de Aztlan (MECHA), now in its initial organizational stage, was originally called the Chicano Asso ciation of Student Organizations (CASO). MECHA is a statewide organi zation established to promote uni ty among Mexican-American stu dents at various state universities. Priscilla Navarette, CAMAC chairman, asked that CAMAC be permitted to join MECHA and host the state convention on the Texas A&M University campus next fall. MSC Director Jim Reynolds, summarized concerns expressed by several council members. First, he said, in order for CAMAC to receive money from “institutional funds” to pay mem bership dues, MECHA must establish a non-profit student organization status with the Inter nal Revenue Service. Membership dues are $50 per semester. Until that status has been established, he said, CAMAC could not become a member, since it would be representing Texas A&M University and would be subject to state regulations. In compliance with the IRS sta tus, he said, MECHA’s constitu tion would have to have non- discriminatory standards. As it is now, there are no such standards. Another concern was how fi nances within MECHA would be handled. Magda de la Torre, who was selected secretary of MECHA, said the organization’s funds would be in a “central bank” based in San Antonio. Reynolds suggested the consti tution include a requirement that signatures of at least two or three members be on all checks. “That’s just sound fiscal procedure. The council (MSC) would feel a lot bet ter about this if the financial proc edure were spelled out,” he said. He said this would merely be a safeguard for whoever is in charge of finances. Faculty adviser Dr. Jack Reynolds, said it’s “completely appropriate for CAMAC to look at MECHA’s constitution before be coming a member. ” Brad Smith, current student body president, asked whether MECHA was more politically ac tive or more involved in sponsor ing programs to promote student unity. de la Torre replied that MECHA is primarily a social orga nization, rather than political.
