00:00:01.470 - 00:00:21.879

Yes, there'll be three prosecutors assigned to the unit. Uh There's no other uh no other personnel and on our staff that will be permanently assigned to that unit. However, we would expect and have enlisted the cooperation of the Houston Police Department and the Department of Public

00:00:21.889 - 00:00:43.950

Safety and other county law enforcement agencies, uh uh intelligence units who are actively engaged in that kind of activity. So, I mean, we'll have their investigative facilities, uh and our, but our immediate unit will be just three lawyers. There are indications that uh there is uh

00:00:43.959 - 00:01:06.260

organized criminal activity in Houston and also uh investment of uh money in, in legitimate enterprises by persons who are associated with organized crime. We think it rather difficult right now to, you know, to set us to make a sort of policy since this is a totally

00:01:06.269 - 00:01:21.779

open meeting. Republicans can come, you know, anybody can come really. Um it's a totally open thing and, and we just want to provide information out and to let people see each other and so that they'll know other people on the campus who are interested in this

00:01:21.790 - 00:01:38.309

type of political work purpose of this meeting is to make available to people. Uh information about the current precinct setup that we have here. Uh So many people don't know what precinct we're in. Uh anything is still with the old 40 which it is not. And

00:01:38.319 - 00:01:59.129

we just plan to distribute information about the precinct and uh to make available um plans of action to people who want to take some to help candidates out. And for the uh before the primary, Kim came into my office today and of course, we had talked

00:01:59.139 - 00:02:14.710

for the last several days and he felt the best thing for him to do was was to leave school and, uh, he did leave school today and has no plans on returning. He's not completely sure what he wants to do. He's not even sure he wants

00:02:14.720 - 00:02:33.860

to continue in school anywhere. He is going home to work and, uh, to search his soul a little bit to see what the future is going to hold for him. He was ruled ineligible, uh, last Thursday when it was discovered and going over his records as

00:02:33.869 - 00:02:58.179

well as records of other athletes that he was, uh, given two hours credit for a pe course after his freshman year. And by the conference rule, he cannot be counted these two, uh, credits that will meet the minimum, uh, total that a boy must pass in

00:02:58.190 - 00:03:22.360

order to be eligible. And, uh, after this first semester, Kim had flunked one course and his cumulative hours at the end of this first semester of this year had him one hour over the minimum and it was detected, uh, by Doctor Benningfield that, uh, he was

00:03:22.369 - 00:03:42.429

given two hours credit for this pe course during his freshman year, which he was not supposed to have as far as our conference office is concerned. So he was one hour short instead of being one hour over. And of course, he was ruled ineligible immediately back

00:03:42.440 - 00:04:03.770

in the December conference meeting proposal was put forward that we change the conference rule to agree with the NCAA rule. And that's uh and the consideration now will probably be adopted in May. Uh In the meantime, because of the confusion in Kaufman's case because he got

00:04:03.880 - 00:04:23.839

advice from Ray. We made an appeal to the conference to set the rule aside and his case in the race for president of Will Rice Chuck Allen and R L. Leslie are the final contenders with 88 67 votes respectively. In today's election, Mike Bolden and Dan

00:04:23.850 - 00:04:37.709

Clark will run for vice president, Bank Bankston was elected secretary of the Diet. He was the only candidate to win a clear victory in any office. Mark Brumbaugh and Gary Mee are the candidates in the runoff for treasurer and Butch Cox and Chris Jones will run

00:04:37.720 - 00:04:57.059

for University Council nominee. The controversial cooperative waiting referendum was defeated by a vote of 148 to 45. The polls will be open tomorrow from 7 15 to 1 o'clock and again between five and six o'clock, Mike Benning, the news for the Levick college elections which were

00:04:57.070 - 00:05:18.579

held on February 1st 1972. The winner for president was Jeff Cruz. A sophomore architecture major. Vice president is David mckenney. The chief justice is Cliff Siegel and the secretary is Carl tomorrow night at 8 30. The Rice Outlets will host the freshman squad from the University

00:05:18.589 - 00:05:32.519

of Southwestern Louisiana in Lafayette, better known as US L. They are in their first year as an NCAA A major college and the Varsity is currently ranked 13th in the country. They also boast the nation's leading scorer in Dwight Lamar. We don't know anything about the

00:05:32.529 - 00:05:50.809

frost raven cages but they should be plenty tough for the 26 outlets airtime on K T R U will be 8 25 PM. This is Mike Ross, the news, Doctor Santiago Genovese, research fellow in physical anthropology at the University of Mexico. Will lecture for the Rice

00:05:50.820 - 00:06:07.290

student Forum at 7 30 PM. February 23 in Hammond Hall. He will also present the film pox which he produced on commission from the Mexican government for the 1968 Olympiad in Mexico City. The public will be admitted free Dr Genova present appearance in Houston is on

00:06:07.299 - 00:06:25.850

invitation from the Texas Peace Center and the Houston Chapter of the United Nations Association. A native of Spain. Dr Genos received his phd in Anthropology from Cambridge University. Good morning. Good morning K T. Are you, uh, could you tell me your draft number? Brian? Chance could

00:06:25.859 - 00:06:49.940

September 24th. September 24th? 2, 36. All right. Just one second. Ok. August 22nd. August 22nd. Uh, 1 40. Ok. Ok. Thank you. Bye bye. Good morning K T. Are you? Excuse me? Could you, do you have the draft call number? Sure do. Ok. Could you give

00:06:49.950 - 00:07:15.309

me June 12th, if you will, please? June 12th? 191 191 and 90. Ok. And do you have August 29th, August 29th is 84. Ok. Thank you very much. Ok, bye bye. Well, I thought that it was a horrible thing and, uh, I was ashamed of it

00:07:15.320 - 00:07:34.779

and, uh, I was ashamed for our student body and for our department and for university, I think it's too bad that it happened. And, uh, I think that most of them that took part in it, uh, if they were confronted as an individual probably wouldn't have

00:07:34.790 - 00:07:54.670

taken part in such a thing, but because it was kind of mass reaction they did and take part in something that more than likely they wouldn't have. Otherwise, Dr J William Schaff, a paleobiologist at UCLA says he has found the earliest evidence now known as sex.

00:07:54.859 - 00:08:09.600

His search took him to Central Australia where embedded in billion year old cherty rocks. He found the fossils of minute algae that had a pyramid shaped structure of cells imprinted with a Y pattern. That structure is a keystone to the sexual process. Dr Schoff believes the

00:08:09.609 - 00:08:23.600

appearance of sex was an evolutionary event, possibly ranking second in importance only to the creation of life itself more than three billion years ago, judging by the primitiveness and lack of diversity of plant life a billion years ago, Dr Shaw feels that sex was probably still

00:08:23.609 - 00:08:40.650

a novel experiment at the time. Jeff Las, the news one draft that doesn't seem to find too much opposition. The pro football version is over and three rice players got the call running back. Staley Vinson forged his way into the Pittsburgh Steelers in the eighth round.

00:08:40.909 - 00:09:00.710

Chicago thinks he'll be able to bear. Wide receiver Bob Brown. They chose him in the 14 th. Mike Tyler, a 17 th round pick will be defensively backing up Detroit's lion. Jeff Las. The news, the classic confrontation between benefits versus risk came with the food and

00:09:00.719 - 00:09:18.390

drug administration's warning December eight against washing babies with hexachlorophene. 22 hospitals which had followed the advice reported outbreaks of staph infections among newborns. But Dr Henry Simmons, director of the FDA Drug Bureau said that monkeys who had been bathed daily with hexachlorophene for 90 days suffered

00:09:18.400 - 00:09:33.104

brain damage and that all means must be used to prevent infants from being exposed to chemical. It's all what to do. Dr Simmons said that if there is an infection, give the baby short term once daily. Hexachlorophene Bass and he thought doctors and nurses should continue

00:09:33.114 - 00:09:52.229

to wash their hands with hexachlorophene. But what he thought really best was good old fashioned cleanliness. Jeff Lansdale, the news, he will be speaking, I think to a couple of classes on topics that are pertinent to their particular class. And then tomorrow evening, Monday night, he'll

00:09:52.239 - 00:10:08.880

be speaking about, uh, t at nine o'clock, not exactly certain where that will be, but he'll be answering questions and giving people some background, more information on the other perks, things that they, they have had problems with and things they've been particularly successful at you. A

00:10:08.890 - 00:10:22.599

friend. Somebody had a name that I didn't know about. So they don't just turn them into me. It can be turned into any, any member of the elections committee and someone had a name that I didn't know that they had. Well, Dr Burris will be taking

00:10:22.609 - 00:10:46.900

over as of July 1st and I'm planning on going on sabbatical next year. Um, I, my sabbatical plans are not completely definite. Both teams combined almost set a new conference record on a number of personal fouls and number of free throws attempted. And, uh, it, it

00:10:46.909 - 00:10:59.020

just seemed like every time we, uh, we committed a foul yesterday, it seemed like it was a two shot foul and these are things that you can't do and a lot of, a lot of times this came off of, again, our failure to be able to

00:10:59.030 - 00:11:19.739

rebound, the ball. Arkansas would shoot and miss and get the rebound and stick it back in and we'd be there to foul. And this, uh, I think again, points out our lack of speed and quickness of being able to get to the right spot. First. First

00:11:19.750 - 00:11:33.270

of all, I found that at rise, student government has been largely invisible and I wanted to get involved in student government because I feel that it's kind of an interesting venture. And so I think it would be less invisible if I can really, you know, get

00:11:33.280 - 00:11:48.659

involved in it and be elected to some position where I can maybe do something. Uh, there are various, uh, issues that are pertinent right now on the campus, things like, uh, classroom size, things about, uh, once you're into a college, you can't transfer to another college,

00:11:48.919 - 00:12:02.650

things such as, uh, the, uh, the credit system. In other words, you can't place out of a freshman class unless you take the advanced placement test and there's all sorts of issues that, that rise from time to time, you know, like the football team or maybe

00:12:02.659 - 00:12:17.299

the room. And, uh, I, I do have views on all these things and stuff. I don't think I have time right now to express the views that won't affect us here at all. Anyway, we already decided that we would, we were going to have two separate

00:12:17.309 - 00:12:32.320

polling places in the gym. We planned to divide the small gym down the middle and Republicans go one side and Democrats go the other. And so that really won't let that affect us one way or another here. The new at large member of the university council

00:12:32.330 - 00:12:53.460

committee is Kathleen Ford in the election. Today, she received 321 votes. The other competitor Randy Evans received 97 votes and there were 172 write ins 69 of which were for Butch Cox. My impression in regard to the potential value of this is that from the standpoint

00:12:53.469 - 00:13:12.609

of science. And of course, I'm speaking from that standpoint being in the Space Science Department, my impression is that the likelihood of any meaningful progress is going to be very slight at this stage. In other words, just one brief encounter in space is certainly going to

00:13:12.619 - 00:13:32.780

have a radical effect on the overall World Space Program. However, in the general context of relationships between the two countries and the furthering of the space effort, both of the United States and the Russians. I welcome this as a, a step which can lead to better

00:13:32.789 - 00:14:01.619

and greater cooperation and ultimately hopefully to a more positive and beneficial relationship. Great. We're asking for uh monthly contributions from individuals and from religious congregations of all faiths uh to uh to support this work. And the uh we have a nonprofit uh charter that a typical

00:14:01.630 - 00:14:24.479

citizens nonprofit group. This is a nonprofit citizens group intended to support uh chaplaincy services down at the uh at, at all the local jails uh that as they may need them in the Harris County jail, the, the council of churches which used to exist, supported uh

00:14:24.789 - 00:14:44.909

Coke Lambert. And uh then there have been part time chaplain services available from other ministers but that uh support that organization no longer is functioning and is uh the those who've been working in the jails feel like that the needs citizen involvement, not an ecclesiastical, not

00:14:44.919 - 00:15:05.929

an ecumenical group, but a citizens uh committee to uh make sure that inmates can have access to chaplains of all faiths. And uh uh not only for inmates to have counseling services but meet relief, relief needs, emergency needs of families which are not now being met

00:15:05.940 - 00:15:25.280

or being partially met but not completely met. And as a result of Joe Highland's visit yesterday in the meeting last night with about 35 or 40 rice students. We've decided to add considerable more structure and organization to te per at rice. And the reason for this

00:15:25.289 - 00:15:39.645

is that we've reached approximately 25% of the student body and have their signatures on petitions. But that 1st 25% it's gotten a good bit rougher to find people that haven't already signed or aren't familiar with the plan. Tell them about Teber and actually get their names

00:15:39.655 - 00:15:56.869

on the petition. And so we've asked more people to join us and we have a larger organization now and it does require more structure to do something of this scope. The particular areas we've been dividing our effort into are more or less according to the kind

00:15:56.880 - 00:16:10.159

of people we're trying to reach for the on campus people. We've got someone working now in every college and these people are hopefully going to be finding someone in each section or each floor depending on the architecture of the particular college to reach the people in

00:16:10.169 - 00:16:23.450

that college and talk with them face to face about Teber and give them a chance to sign with the off campus people. It's a lot more difficult to reach this large group of people at the university. But what we will be doing is trying to catch

00:16:23.460 - 00:16:37.799

them at traffic center areas and ask them if they've signed the petition and explain tks to them if they've got him in it, many of the off campus people will be receiving uh individual petitions through the mail from their colleges and they can just clip these

00:16:37.809 - 00:16:53.320

and return them through the campus mail to the essay office and we can get them that way. Our next step is to appeal that decision, of course, and we will perfect an appeal and let the appellate courts decide the issue. Uh I think it's really an

00:16:53.330 - 00:17:06.739

issue that ultimately one way or the other, regardless of how the trial court judge had ruled. Uh it's an issue that would have had to be decided by the appellate courts because I'm sure the city would have appealed. Had the decision been the other way around

00:17:09.689 - 00:17:30.659

alumni. We feel that we got, you know, our teacher education program here at Rice, the very uh the kind of intelligent person uh who's needed in the classroom. And uh so we really are not, our program obviously is not very large, but uh there's no pretense

00:17:30.668 - 00:17:51.209

at limit again. And we've had no difficulty particularly in placing the people that are licensed to teach as a consequence of their bachelor's degree. So I understand some of the larger universities, Syracuse and several others a are limiting their enrollments. But this has to do with,

00:17:51.900 - 00:18:11.260

with a number of people who come at the lower end of the scale in terms of ability or at least what they test scores and this kind of thing. So I'm not awfully worried about this limiting from the competency standpoint. The congressman feels like that the

00:18:11.270 - 00:18:31.640

water quality board people are trying to create an aura of fear among the public and try to make the public believe that it would cost more than the benefits would be worth. Uh Mr has said in June here that the efforts that the state has made

00:18:31.650 - 00:18:53.540

to control the pollution and decrease the B O D discharge from a total of £183,000 to £110,000 had actually improved the quality of Galveston Bay. But then he turned right around and says today that to decrease the dod total further from £110,000 to £35,000 a day

00:18:53.650 - 00:19:14.079

would make no noticeable improvement in the bay. And the congressman cannot equate those two positions that if the first reduction in bod discharges resulted in improvement in the bay waters, then certainly the further decrease to £35,000 a day should improve the waters even more. Running against

00:19:14.089 - 00:19:31.390

Governor Preston Smith. Among democrats are state representative Francis Fahrenthold, a 45 year old liberal from Corpus Christi. Lieutenant Governor Ben Barnes considered the front runner at this point and a former protege of Lyndon Johnson and former governor John Connolly and Dolf Brisco Jr, a wealthy South

00:19:31.400 - 00:19:46.979

Texas rancher and banker who served in the state legislature from 1949 through 1956 and who ran a strong fourth in the race for governor in 1968. Governor Smith is running for a third two year term in an attempt to vindicate himself in the issue of stock

00:19:46.989 - 00:20:02.310

of charges of stock fraud. Republicans are boasting seven contenders for governor. The four major ones are state senator Henry C Grover, a loner and an ultra conservative who jumped parties in 1966. He's not popular with the state party leaders but he is well liked in his

00:20:02.319 - 00:20:19.560

Harris County district. Thomas mcelroy a Dallas attorney, David Reagan, a government professor and assistant to the president of Austin College in Sherman. And Albert Fay, a Houston oil millionaire who twice failed and tries for state land commissioner. He was a Republican national committeeman from 1960 to

00:20:19.569 - 00:20:35.819

1969 and a member of the Republican National Finance Committee. Larry Leme. The news. Are you in the mood for a bit of ultraviolence. Perhaps a company about a little of the old in out, in out. Well, if you are, then a Clockwork Orange is the film

00:20:35.829 - 00:20:51.140

for you. A Clockwork Orange is the latest film from Stanley Kubrick who also brought us 2001. Dr Strangelove Lolita and several more of our old favorites. The film stars Malcolm mcdowell as Alex, a typical young fun loving denizen of the not very distant future. His ideas

00:20:51.150 - 00:21:06.359

of fun, however, mostly consist of raping pillaging and beating up people in general and he also likes music, especially Beethoven whom he refers to as Ludwig Van. This makes for an excellent score, by the way, which complements the excellent photography. Generally, everything about a Clockwork Orange

00:21:06.369 - 00:21:20.819

is good, in fact, but it's not made for the squeamish or the prudish if you don't fit into one of these categories and you do want to see a movie this weekend, make it this one and you won't be disappointed. This is Doug Welte. The results

00:21:20.829 - 00:21:39.770

of the world rise. College elections are for sophomore representatives, Amy Al Bond and Scott Davis, junior representatives, Scott Charles Melcher and Lenton Stables, social chairman Larry Gross, and program chairman Jim Law Wayne Baley. The news. It's good to talk about these things and to discuss these

00:21:39.780 - 00:22:05.069

things. But whether or not the student public interest research group gets underway depends on individual decisions and that's the essence of the public interest research group. It's based on the individual assertion of citizenship power to control one's destiny in a more rational and more just way.

00:22:06.140 - 00:22:22.579

And the moment you decide at some point that the citizen doesn't count anymore, that the individual doesn't count anymore that you can't fight City Hall that you shouldn't fight City Hall. Now, what can one person do at that moment? You have first resigned from democracy. You

00:22:22.589 - 00:22:43.939

have demeaned the worth of an individual and you've lost self-respect. In short, we've got to ask the real tough question. What kind of economic growth, what quality of economic growth, what kind of economic growth is solving? What problems creating, what problems ignoring what problems no longer

00:22:43.949 - 00:23:04.160

can we simply say the economy is growing great that everything will be all right. Sooner or later the challenge. And I think to people everywhere is to be able to talk about these longer. Can we delegate our citizen responsibilities to City Hall?
