Klan Rally
Continued from Page 1
Under the cartoon, the release said, "You've
heard Ron Wilson talk about how bad Whites are at
Texas A&M. Now hear what we have to say."
Wilson told The Battalion Wednesday that the
KKK needs to increase their supporters, and this is
just another attempt to do it.
"They obviously need something to bolster their
sagging image," he said
Lowe said cultural pro
grams, such as multicultural
week, exclude whites and are
therefore discriminatory. Stu
dents should hear the organi
zation's message before they
decide whether to attend, he
said.
"We are not a violent orga
nization," Lowe said. "We
are simply a white's civil
rights group. I think people
who attend will be pleased.
"Once the minority becomes the majority, we are
going to be victims," Lowe said. "And they will not
be as good to us as we have been to them."
Wilson said he in no way agrees with the message
of the KKK but added that anyone has the right to
protest.
"It's a free country," he said. "We have to allow

they will not be as good to us
as we have been to them."
individuals to express their opinion, no matter how
sordid it is.
"But obviously I don't condone their cause."
Wilson said he would invite the KKK to Houston
to have a rally.
"I'd invite them to come down to the Fifth Ward
or the inner city in Houston to have their rally," he
said.
College Station Mayor Larry Ringer said the po
lice department will do all they can do to insure the
rally is peaceful.
"We can't deny them the opportunity to hold
"The price we pay for democra-
_ cy is that everyone gets free
dom of speech."
Ringer said the best reac
tion for citizens is to ignore
the rally.
" Most people are like I am
and don't agree with the
philosophies of the KKK," he
said. "The best thing we can
do is go about our daily busi
ness regardless of what they

id.
-Michael Lowe
KKK Grand Dragon have planned.
^ Lowe said
he has sent let
ters to almost 200 businesses
in the Brazos Valley area and will phone students in
dividually in an effort to increase attendance.
The rally is scheduled for April 24 at Oaks Park
from 1 p.m. It is expected to last for three hours.
Lowe said all members of the "white public" are
invited to the rally.

town would take care of us." he
said. "Each individual took care
of us in their homes. Except when
we had our meals on the train.
We had a diner, and we took our
meals on the train, except for
some of the meals which we took
with the people outside in the
town. But I never was in that cat
egory."
Connected with the band was
an 11-piece orchestra which was
paid to furnish music for the two
Ctfrps dances each month, accord
ing to the "Long Horn," the 1915
A&M student yearbook.
Greene played flute in the or
chestra. Several larger dances on
campus also employed the orches
tra to play for them.
"Stag dances would be given
for two bits (25 cents) a person,"
he said. "We would go and play
for these stag dances until 10:30
p.m., from 8 to 10:30, for two bits
a head. Most of that went to the
band members, you see. Some
times, I would get $5 or $6 for one
night. That was a big thing."
Upon coming to A&M, Greene
said he didn't receive the same
amount of freshman treatment
that some of the other freshman
did because of his age.
"I was about 22 or 23," Greene
said. I know I was about the age
that the seniors were. The seniors
seemed to like me. One of the se
niors asked me to room with him
the end of the first year.
"Sometimes I had a dignity,"
he said. " I guess my age was
what it was. It was an advantage
that seemed to impress the se
niors."
In academics, Greene excelled
at arithmetic although English
tended to give him trouble.
"I could do senior and junior
arithmetic in my freshman year
because I just happened to have
that part known, especially multi-
lication where everything had to
e multiplied out," Greene said.
"They didn't have machines or
anything like that for calculating.
"Out of the last year, I just
lacked one grade from making a
perfect grade," he said. "I decided
a long time before I graduated
that the way to graduate and to
et good grades was to study the
ooks because your examinations
covered what was in the books."
Greene received his degree in
agriculture.
"In my last year, they started
putting agriculture in high
schools. So I applied for agricul
tural teaching,' Greene said. "I
never did know a darn thing
about agriculture. I didn't know a
thing about agriculture nor teach
ing either. So I took agricultural
teaching."
After graduation,' Greene
taught school at Gatesville. After
two years, he decided he had had
enough of playing the same
recorti to a different group each
year, he said.
He worked at a reform school
the following year before being
drafted.
"After that, I went into the war
(World War I)," he said. "I stayed
in that huge massive American
war for six months. That was
1918."
After the war, Greene entered
the oil business. He married and
raised two daughters. He current
ly resides in San Angelo.
Although none of Greene's
children or grandchildren en
rolled at Texas A&M, a nephew,
great-nephew, great-great-
nephew and great-great-niece did
attend A&M.
Under his senior picture in the
1915 "Long Horn," it says of
Greene:
"Ossie' gets the name of
'Browneyes' from the Glee Club
trip, as all the girls asked about
the pretty brown-eyed boy in the
orchestra. His good looks are far
inferior td his talents. He is an ex
cellent leader of^men; a clean
sportsman, and in his classes, he
stands at the top. The only draw
back that he has is the short epi
taph that he wants on his tomb:
'Here Lies A Man.' We are ex
pecting great things of 'Ossie' in
the future and know that we shall
not be disappointed."
Hunger strike

prison rather than death as the appropriate punish
ment.
The U.S. Supreme Court, however, in January up
held his death sentence, narrowly ruling Graham
could not challenge a now-discarded state law that
limited his jury's consideration of youth or family
problems as mitigating evidence.
Graham said he began his hunger strike on Mon
day and would continue it indefinitely.
"I will continue on the hunger strike until some
type of relief is granted in protest not only to my exe-
cution but also to the racism the way the death
penalty is carried out here in Texas," he said. "I
think it's an issue that needs to be addressed."
Of the 372 inmates on death row in Texas, 48 per
cent are white, 35 percent black and 16 percent His
panic.
According to 1991 U.S. Census figures, 66 percent
of Texans are white, 23 percent Hispanic and 10 per
cent black.
