Jeff Anthony, chairman of the
convocation, said Plumb will
speak on his experiences in Viet
nam and how he survived cap
tivity.
Anthony, who heard Plumb
ak at an agricultural conven-
tioninKansas, said, “He has areal
lersonal message on day-to-day
iving. He explains how you can
overcome anything. ”
Plumb is the author of two
books about the Vietnam war enti-

A $500 Eva Simmons Potts
Memorial Scholarship will be
awarded to an outstanding junior
in the college. The scholarship is a
memorial to the former wife of
R.C. Potts, the former dean of the
College of Agriculture.
Ten senior merit awards will be
given to outstanding seniors, and
Alpha Zeta will give certificates
honoring one student from fresh
man, sophomore and junior clas
ses in the college.
Students in the College of Agri
culture will honor a faculty mem
ber with an outstanding professor
award. Nominations for this award
are made by the students,
Anthony said.
In comparing agriculture of to
day to the past, Anthony said he
believes there is a new agricultu
ral movement in the United
States.
For example, Anthony said he
thinks that in 20 to 30 years the
small family farmer will be obso
lete. However, food production
will become even more important
as population increases cause the
world hunger problem to become
a greater concern.
The new agricultural move
ment is also affecting Texas A&M’s
College of Agriculture, Anthony
said.
The College of Agriculture now
has more people majoring in the
business- and mechanical-related
fields, he said.

Jury selection continues
in Brilab bribery trial
However, the College of Agri
culture, previously the second
largest college at Texas A&M, is
now the third largest. It follows
the colleges of engineering and
business administration.
The type of student enrolled in
agriculture is changing, Anthony
said. Although the majority of
agriculture students come from
rural towns, about 30 percent of
the students now in the college are
from cities.

NEW ORLEANS—Jury selec
tion resumes today in the federal
Brilab case minus some of the
topics that sparked dispute during
the trial’s first week.
Only two jurors were seated in
five full days of work. Ten more
jury members and six alternates
are needed before testimony can
begin.
Prosecutors trying to put repu
ted organized crime leader Carlos
Marcello, former state Commis
sioner of Administration Charles
Roemer and three other defen
dants behind bars fought for and
won the right to ask prospective
jurors how they felt about wiretap
ping and other forms of secret sur
veillance.
Other questions leading to voc
al fireworks concerned extensive
pretrial publicity encouraged by
government leaks and Marcello’s
alleged involvement in the Ken
nedy assassination.
Joining Marcello and Roemer
as defendants in the case are long
time state official Aubrey Young,
Washington lobbyist I. Irving
Davidson and New Orleans attor
ney Vincent Marinello.
The five men are charged with
trying to use bribery to win lucra
tive state insurance contracts from
governments or trade unions.
During a year-long undercover
operation, FBI agents gathered
more than 1,400 reels of tape and
45,000 pages of transcript to sup
port its charges.
