Coeds fear TCU 'scarf A random survey taken Wednesday night of 65 women

students living in dormitories indicated most are worried about the recent attacks by the TCU "Scarf Strangler."

Only 10 said they were not worried by the attacks, with 55 saying they were.

"I wasn't worried until last night," said Meredith Walter, a Colby resident "I walked to the library by myself and this blond guy followed me."

"I'm more cautious now," she continued. "I'm thinking about it (the incident) Before I wasn't thinking about it too much."

"It doesn't worry me unnecessarily, but you do find yourself kind of looking around," said Judy Wilcox, a Jarvis Hall resident."

"The only thing that worries me is the parking on Worth Hills—there's no light," Kathy Ellis, also a resident of Jarvis, said.

Most of those surveyed, 54, said they had taken extra precautions since the incident—11 said they had not.

"I walk with groups on campus now," said Dee Onn Cun- ningham, a Sherley resident. "I never did that before."

' Last night male students were already escorting women on

campus Thirty-nine, of the students interviewed said they were aware of groups which had offered to provide escort. Residents of several fraternities and men's dorms have offered to provide escort services.

Thirty-three of the students questioned said they had changed their lifestyles since the attacks; 22 said they had not

"I've had to change my eating habits," Angie Martinez, a Foster resident, said. "I used to go to the snack bar at 9 o'clock. Well, now I just have to go to eat early."

"I wouldn't walk to the library alone at night now. It's just too dark," said Mary Miller, a Sherley resident.

But some admitted that it was just impossible to change their lifestyles too much.

"Since the rapes last year, I started taking some precautions like walking with my keys in my hand—and. always locking my door, said Jackie Jank, of Jarvis.

"But if you have night classes or if you work at night you just can't help but be out late," Jank continued.

Karen Crouch, of Jarvis, said she probably won't go over to the library late at night, which upset her. ". that's the only time I can go Jo the library,'.' she said.

Only seven female students said they had seen a suspicious character on campus.

Martinez said she hadn't really noticed anyone suspicious, but "I was aware of men (walking) by themselves, you can't help but stare at them and wonder."

Most interviewed were in favor of having the dorm doors locked earlier.

"It's something to do.until they come up with a better idea, said Sandy Wenner, of Foster.

"I think it's a good idea," said Sarah Bolster, of Colby. "I've looked in the halls some nights and seen tons of guys "

In the survey, five to ten women were contacted in each of the women's dorms and sorority houses

Warning to residents

A majority of female residents polled by the Daily Skiff say they ana brightened by the recent attacks on campus. As an added precaution, dormitories have started locking their doors leading outside earlier.

By DAVID BENNETT .staff Writer

A composite drawing of the man responsible for three assualts in the last six days will be available "as soon as I can contact the girls involved," Detective R. L. Mullins of the homicide division of the Fort Worth Police Department told The Daily Skiff Thursday

Mullins was reluctant to discuss aspects of the case, but did say that there are "no definite suspects at this time "

Plain dothes officers and guards from Bailey Safeguard Security will continue to patrol the campus "until we have our man," said Charles "Buck" Beneze, ass stant to the dean of students.

Dr. Jack Scott, director of TCU's Counseling and Psychological Ser- vices, said Thursday that "it is ob- vious that this individual dislikes women and had some serious problem in his past with women I believe that he is potentially dangerous."

Scott said that the most important thing for a woman to do if accosted is to "respond immediatly, first by screaming and second with violence if the person feels capable.

"The key factor is to respond im- mediately," Scott said. "The attacker will not be expecting this and it might frighten him off."

"We need to build a sense of com- munity and respond immediately if any screams are heard. It is my un- derstanding that it took a while for some people to respond at the Colby incident," he added.

The Housing and Residential Living staff has distributed a one-page mimeographed letter to all residence

halls with the following recom- mendations to TCU coeds:

• Do not go outside at night alone.

• Keep doors, windows and screens locked at all times.

• Scream immediately if ac- costed

• Report immediately any suspicious persons

HEIGHT: Approximately 5-9 to 5-10 WEIGHT: Medium HAIH. Dark blond, curly or wavy, no beard, mustache or pronounced sideburns AGE: Indefinite, possibly around 30 OTHER: Horn-rimmed glasses with thick lenses, possibly tinted. Every victim has said that the man had difficulty speaking

CIA involvement surprises University

©

The University's Institute of Behavioral Research was unaware studies they conducted in the early 1960's were funded by the CIA, Chancellor James Moudy reaffirmed yesterday afternoon.

The purported funding source was the Human Ecology Fund, now seen as a CIA front.

"I do not personally know anything about the organization," Moudy said Dr. Saul Sells (director of the IBR) had an acquaintance there who he saw

.at a professional meeting. They discussed the research and Dr. Sells sent in a proposal to the organization and we received funding from them

The funding was arranged solely through Dr. Sell's friend, Moudy said, and TCU had no idea the CIA was behind it. The first knowledge of the federal organization's involvement came to Moudy around the end of August, following a Senate committee investigation. In that investigation, CIA director, Stansfield Turner, ad-

mitted 44 colleges had been involved in research without their knowledge. Letters were sent to all the schools involved.

Moudy went to Washington Sep- tember 9 to obtain more information.

TCU is one of several schools in Texas to receive letters from the CIA. The (TA also told the University of Texas System that the Engineering Mechanit-s Department of UT-Austin was awarded a "covert" research grant in 1961 and 1962.

Those funds came from a private medical research foundation in Texas, according to UT System associate deputy chancellor Robert Hardesty, and the University had no idea the funds were really from the CIA

No human experiments were con- ducted at either TCU or UT. The TCU research was in the field of bioelec- tronics. or the study of brainwaves. The work consisted mainly of com- piling a bibliography on other research, according to Sells.'

Lonce asks American people to be his jury By W. DALE NELSON Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON— Budget Director Bert Lance, appealing to the American people to be "the jury in this proceeding," told the Senate yesterday he might have made some mistakes running his Georgia banks but he engaged in no wrongdoing and no cover-up.

"I am secure and comfortable knowing that my conscience is clear and that the people's verdict will be a fair and just one," the burly director of President Carter's Office of Management and Budget told the Senate Governmental Affairs Com- mittee.

Drawling slowly and solemly, Lance told the two senior members of the committee to their faces they have been unfair in their public statements before this, his day in court. Speaking "more in sorrow than in anger," Lance told the senior Republican, Sen. Charles Percy, that his actions were "puzzling. . regrettable."

Percy replied that he had questioned the dates on some of Lance's personal checks and whether they were timed to help him obtain a tax deduction.

"It was wrong for me to even raise the possibility," Percy conceded.

Percy asked and Chairman Abraham Ribicoff, D-Conn., ordered

that the committee seek a report from the Internal Revenue Service and the Comptroller of the Currency dealing point by point with their findings on the Lance defense statement. Percy said he hopes to get that information by Saturday.

Ribicoff said "the worst thing we could do for the Senate, for Mr. Lance, for ourselves or the President" is to leave any impression that there was any effort to conceal facts about the case.

Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., who emerged as a prime Lance defender, demanded that the committee ask the Justice Department to investigate leaks of Lance data by the comp- troller's office. "We might as well get everybody investigating everybody here in Washington," Nunn said.

Ribicoff granted that request, too. One by one, the President's long-

time personal friend replied to allegations made in past weeks that his personal and bank dealings, most of them before he joined the Carter government, were marked by irregularities and improprieties. When he finished reading his l^-hour statement, he got a half minute of hearty applause from spectators in the hearing room.

Lance told the panel and a national television audience that his rights had

"been treated in the most irrespon- sible and destructive manner" and allegations against him have been "erroneous ... misrepresented ,.. and exaggerated" Moreover, he said, "some are completely misunderstood because those making the charge do not have all the facts. . "

"I did not ask for this fight, but now that I am in it, I am fighting not only for myself but also for our system," Lance declared. "I was a successful businessman in my home state, and I thought 1 had an important con- tribution to make by coming into government service."

The budget director has said again and again he will not quit. His demeanor and his words appeared to underscore that determination.

The budget director told the com- mittee: "The rights that I thought I possessed have gone, one by one, down the drain. ..

"Were my rights protected?" he asked. ''We'll let the American people answer that."

He declined to "contend that I made no mistakes" when he ran the Calhoun First National Bank of Calhoun, Ga , of which he was board chairman, and the National Bank of Georgia, in Atlanta, which he served as president.

"But to accept the assertion that I could not even manage a small

country bank, one must ignore the objective facts," he told the com- mittee, Which recommended his confirmation as the nation's budgetmaker last January.

Lance told the panel he had an- swered questions from its members and from its staff fully and accurately in January and had withheld nothing

In regard to personal loans he received from banks with which his own banks had special relationships, he said, "in no instance was there a finding that the terms of my loans were more favorable" because of the business ties

Lance vigorously denied he had

backdated any checks to allow him to take income tax deductions for 1976, a possibility suggested by Percy last Friday. Lance also made it clear that he did not take any improper deductions.

"I deeply regret that Sen. Percy saw fit to act in this regrettable manner in making a charge which has no merit whatsoever," Lance declared.

He said checks numbered 919 through 921 in his checkbook were dated before checks 917 and 918 because the smaller numbered checks had been removed from the book while blank and kept in his briefcase for possible use later.

New columnists featured The New York Times debuts in the Daily Skiff today. Nationally acclaimed columnists Russell Baker and William Satire can be read

on the Opinion page and its facing page. When he returns from summer vacation, veteran writer James Reston will join the lineup.

In addition, articles that provide perspective to national and international issues and to varied human concerns and interests also will appear periodically. And occasionally an article may appear just for its entertainment value.

These columns and articles — which generally will be clustered on the Skiff opinion pages — will appear along with the newspaper's standard local opinion articles — the editorials, the campus columnists, the letters to the editor.

The idea is to provide the TCU community with a bigger, better, more thought- provoking window on the world.

Pets peeve residents Our TCU residence halls are about

as good as those found on other university campuses, but they all share one deficiency that I sincerely regret. They cannot provide facilities for taking care of pets of student oc- cupants

As a comparitively new dog owner, I am convinced (converts are always strongest in their beliefs) that students, especially freshmen, would have fewer problems adjusting to the collegiate scene if they could bring their dogs and cats or other pets with them

Believe me, a dog can do wonders for a tired old dean Our dog, a miniature silver poodle with black head and feet, waits for my husband and me every afternoon on the back of a big over-stuffed chair in front of a picture window in our living room When we open the front door, she goes into an ecstasy of excitement, jum- ping, licking, nipping to welcome, us home With the initial greeting over, she goes for an old house shoe and is ready for a ritualistic tug of war.

As she bounces in and out of your lap, it's easy to forget momentarily that the equipment budget for the TCU cafeteria is overspent, that we still don't have all the lights we need on Worth Hills, that the required medical fee isn't the most popular attraction on the registration bill, and that the Tom Browners want to be taken out of the chilled loop system

Unfortunately, dormitories with high density populations can't cope with the problems that inevitably accompany pets: odor, noise, property damage, sanitation, waste disposal, and roommate conflicts

Occasionally, we've tried pets, albeit illegally. Two male students brought three cats to school with them and housed them in one of their closets. They knew that cats require litter boxes, but no one had ever told them that the boxes have to be emp- tied periodically. By the time residence hall staff located the source of the smell, most of the residents were / looking for other ac- commodations

Then there was the girl who brought her pet parrot to campus. Told she would have to send Polly home, she asked for a conference and brought with her the parrot and Dr. Roy Martin, minister to the University, who had agreed to intercede for her.

Until they walked in, I had never realized why parrot owners wear a shawl-like piece of apparel around their shoulders Polly walked from one of her shoulders to the other and quickly demonstrated why parrots are called "dirty birds "

Just as Roy began to tell me what nice pets parrots make, the bird flew to him, walked up the arm of his new fall preaching suit, strolled across the back of his shoulders and then very slowly climbed to the top of his head. Though the incident occured a couple of years ago, Roy had no more hair then than he does now—and the

thought of the bird perched aloft on his shining pate quickly left him close to speechless—a truly rare predicament for Roy I was so convulsed by the spectacle I could hardly keep from breaking into laughter.

Nevertheless, the parrot, with Roy's hearty concurrence, was sent home and we still adhere to the policy of no pets in the dormitory.

Still, students undoubtedly miss the love and affection offered by a pet. I wish things were different

I also wish that more people un- derstood how decisions are made in the University. Periodically, the House of Student Representatives and the student body president (whoever he or she may be) come under un- warranted attack The charge that is repeated again and again in one form or another is that the House and the president are both ineffective and that "the administration'' listens to

neither. This simply is not true Accomplishments (and changes)

may not be earthshaking when viewed from short range, but they are significant when viewed over a period of time A few on which the House and- or student leaders have been in- fluential include:

—the Pass-No Credit Option —the current auditing option —student representation on all

Unviversity-wide committees —improved lighting for the Student

Center quadrangle parking lot —improved lighting on both the East

and West campus—direct result of President Mike Vitenheimer's efforts last spring

—the Sadler Mall project —the coordinated housing option in

Sherley —the expansion of visitation hours

from zero hours to its present maximum of 46 hours per week

—expansion of the number of students on the Student-Trustee Relations Committee from three to ten

—the pre-registration of new students this summer

To be blunt, thoughtful student leaders who are willing to do their homework on issues—whether in the House or in other organizations—are respected and listened to by "the administration " Admittedly, they do not have their own private pound of power, but few of us in the University do. Even the Chancellor who could conceivably exercise this kind of power rarely does. Most decisions within the University are made after consultation with a broad base of concerned individuals

The wheels of progress may grind exceedingly slow, but if they grind at all, it is because dedicated students, faculty staff ' members and ad- ministrators are willing to spend countless hours hammering out policies and programs together.

In my view the Student House has as good a track record in this area as any other group.

Dorms house a mixed breed It's amazing what the TCU com-

puter can do to one's feelings about his fellow man. Or; more specifically, what one's living mates can do to destroy any faith in the human race in general

The assignment of roommates and of those living around you are the work of that infamous (by now) Zelda, the massive computer. Placement of roommates and hall males makes one wonder about destiny.

For example, living with a skeptic, across the hall from a cynic, and next door to a scoffer and one who longs for the "good ol' days" — in Eighteenth century England—can give you a very warped perspective on life.

Recognition of persons is one area that changes when residing amidst this breed of person Instead of descriptions like, "the one with the faint blond mustache and his curly haired roomate," it's "The Bobsey Twins." Or, rather than outward looks, you describe the person by delving deep into the workings of his mind — take, for example, the "Mental Gerbil." Other behind-the- back greetings include the stuck-up

Ranch Management major ("Nose- Held-High-Guy") or the small fresh- man who pretends to be extremely eloquent ("twit").

Socia^evehls are another section of extreme cynicism by this breed. Most of them are not impressed by the drunk who stands on the keg while trying to sing the "Star Spangled Banner " They listen for the sour notes the band plays If they aren't comfortable with a person, that person usually gets the message quickly — through dour looks and biting laughs. This happens very rarely, though — cynics rarely attend parties because there are too many strange people there

No campus organization can escape the brunt of the savage cynical at- tacks. Greeks are a favorite. As a matter of fact, don't be surprised if you see a new set of jerseys wandering around the campus with the letters Sigma Omega Tau.

Someone even hung the IFC's huge "brotherhood" poster on the wall — right in front of the dart board.

The football team fares no better.

Most"of the skeptics don't even attend — they know how the game is going to end, anyway. The one that does go to the game watches intently and points out lousy plays and missed assign- ments. Then, to add insult to injury, he roots for the other team to break the 50-point barrier, since he's never seen a team score that many points in a game before. This is not an easy feat, when the skeptic is sitting directly behind the TCU band.

One of the few campus organizations that escapes cynicism is the Student House of Representatives. To them, the House is so insignificant, it isn't worth discussing.

Other subjects for discussion in- clude cafeteria food (when they eat there), ROTC, old high school chums (like the girl who flunked the Army entrance exam, or the short jerk who applied to all the Ivy League schools just to show off his acceptance cer- tificates), rock music, theater majors and assorted classroom show-offs.

Finally, the biggest thrust of the cynics is toward the most overworked and unloved members of the school — , the brains of the University. The

"pseudo-intellectuals," as they are deemed, keep showing their true, one- sided nature by taking liberal stands . on major issues (Israel and U.S. negotiations, capital punishment), say the cynics.

But the most honorable cynicism is levied at thb'se who' try to brown nose their various professors. The "new breed of student" — the one that speaks, his or her mind in every class he or she has every day — gets to the cynics' nerves quicker than any other victim. Of course, skeptics are somewhat lenient toward people who make sense and who know what they are talking about and actually "contribute" to the class discussion. Unfortunately for both the cynics and the normal peoplev these people make about approximately .1 of one percent of those who do speak in class.

Living in close proximity with the cynics has a marked effect on per- sonalities One begins to form a smirk instead of a smile or a high-pitched squeaky voice as a result of imitating sorority "chicks." One also tends to end his articles quicker, since he knows that no one really cares about reading the entire column anyway.

Poverty wages just one problem

Welfare reform proposal troublesome EDITOR'S NOTE: President Carter's proposed welfare reform program

features a mandatory work requirement for "employable" recipients. Here, In the first of a two part series, is a look at the newest, and probably the most troublesome element In the Carter plan. By JONATHAN WOLMAN AP Urban Affairs Writer

SEATTLE (AP) — Out here, in a day-care center 2,700 miles from the White House, welfare expert Willie Williams sees a wild card in President Carter's complicated welfare package.

The point, say Carter aides, is to hold down costs and to provide an incentive for public workers to seek jobs elsewhere. In hearings that are scheduled to begin this month, administration officials will try to convince Congress that his jobs approach will work. -Subpoverty wages are just one of the problems that make the jobs plan the most

troublesome element of Carter's package of expanded welfare coverage, tax refunds and work

—Carter wants to move poor people out of the welfare system and into private jobs, but his program offers almost nothing to aid the transition. And in many areas, the private jobs just don't exist.

Labor Secretary Ray Marshall says this is the most serious weakness of the jobs plan.

—A huge welfare work force could hold down salaries for regular public em- ployes doing similar work at higher wages. For this reason labor unions vigorously oppose minimum-wage welfare jobs

—There is a serious danger that some government officials will replace regular employes, paid from local tax receipts, with "bargain basement" public service workers paid from the welfare fund. The process, Marshall's No. 2 worry, is called "substitution."

San Francisco manpower boss Eunice Elton says: "If welfare workers are of any use at all, there will be a tendency to rely on them,"

Typically, a mother or father heading a family of four would receive benefits of $1,444 to supplement the minimum wage of $5,512.

These are the key problem areas that surfaced in discussions with public of- ficials, manpower experts, union leaders and welfare recipients from Seattle to Baltimore, San Francisco to New York.

Carter's "program for Better Jobs and Income" would put 2Vi million poor people to work in 1.4 million public service jobs, either full or part time. Federal welfare money would pay the salaries.

But the political opposition and built-in pitfalls threaten chances for success as the program begins its journey through Congress.

In an interview, Secretary Marshall acknowledged the problems and said administration leaders already are working to correct them.

The work requirement would force "employable" recipients to accept a job if one is available.

But where other mandatory-work plans failed, Carter's could succeed because he offers more than ultimatums — he also offers jobs. And there are wage in- centives for people to keep them.

Says George Washington University manpower expert Sar Levitan: "You can't create jobs without spending money. You can't do it without dollar signs and zeroes."

Carter's plan has plenty of those: 8.800,000,000 dollars. $8.8 billion earmarked to pay for the public service jobs.

The number of current public service jobs would be doubled at only a 49 per cent increase in cost because the current program for 725,000 jobs pays prevailing wages, usually much higher than the minimum.

Carter's plan would require an estimated seven million people who are eligible for welfare to work. Some will find low-paying, nongovernment jobs and will receive income aid from the government. But the economy doesn't absorb everyone who wants to work, and the public service jobs are planned to take up the slack.

Work requirements are attractive to many taxpayers who support the costly welfare system, but experts agree that jobs — not required participation — are what's needed to make the work plan succeed.

Study after study indicates that poor Americans want to work as much as the rest of us. Most recently the 10-year University of Michigan survey — "5,000 American families: A study in Economic Progress" — said poor Americans usually take work whenever they can find it.

It is hoped that the welfare work force will use public service jobs as a stepping stone to private employment. Public jobs lapse after 12 months and jobholders go on reduced welfare benefits for eight weeks in which they are supposed to seek a regular job.

If they come up empty, they are again eligible for a public service job. If one isn't available there is a safety net, a guaranteed income of $4,200 for a family of four.

Some poor people — "We don't know how many, exactly," says Marshall — will get help from state or local manpower officials in finding private employment

Public service workers would be required to accept any private sector job that is offered, but the only dollar-and-cents incentive to find private employment is a tax refund of $54 a month. Even Labor Department experts say that might not have much impact.

Carter did not propose tax credits for companies that hire welfare workers. A credit now exists under the Work Incentive Program and Senate Finance Chairman Russell Long probably will want to retain it.

The welfare work force will be working at a wide variety of low-skill jobs such as cleaning up public parks, emptying hospital bedpans and tending day-care centers.

William Safire

Haves, have-nots should rotate duties Every society needs a large supply

of have-nots, and the American model is no exception Being more egalitarian than most, however, it is developing a system under which duty in the have-not division can be rotated from generation to generation

Young white men who nowadays find that they are the last to be hired do not understand the reasons for the change. Under the old order, young white men were always the first to be hired. Now, they complain, they are being discriminated against They are correct.

And why nof If we are going to have an ample supply of have-nots, somebody simply must be discriminated against. Being discriminated against is unpleasant, but it is traditionally and respectably American. There have always been classes shouldering the harsh duty of being discriminated against. It is only fair that young white men — a class that has always escaped this duty- should now take up the burden for a while.

The theory underlying this change of discrimination victims is that since have-nots are here to stay, the have- not life can be made more palatable if the duty is rotated from time to time. Thus, black people, who have done long duty as have-nots, may draw strength to carry on from the ex- pectation that their children will be given first crack at the good life even when" there is an equally able white male applying for it.

The problem is how to make their children equally able The solution is to discriminate in education. In the past, when white males were ex- clusively ticketed for the good life, it was arranged by discriminating against blacks at the schoolhouse, with the result that fancy employers could point out that they couldn't find

any black people erudite enough for $30,000 jobs.

By discriminating against white male students, the country can get more blacks into the best schools and reduce the percentage of good-life competitors by creating more unqualified young white males.

Young white men nowadays often complain about the injustice of the new discrimination, which is frustrating their career ambitions and trapping them out on the economic margin occupied by the unem- ployable. Their plight is compounded by the feminist movement which, with federal muscle behind it, encourages

institutions also to mind their step before passing over female ap- plicants.

Well, of course it's unfair to have to be so far superior to both female and black competition that you can't get ticketed into the have class without becoming the object of a federal in- vestigation. Even then, as many women and blacks can tell these embittered young men, you are likely to see the college or job of your choice go to a less qualified agent of a more favored class. The fact is that there is nothing new about the new discrimination, except the identity of the victimized class.

Women and blacks have absorbed a lesson that white males have yet to learn; to wit, that it is easier to make discrimination work for you than it is to eliminate it from American life. As groups, they have accepted

discrimination as a reality and have applied political heat to make certain that if discrimination is to be the rule of the economy, it is at least going to work for them

White males are still innocent on this point. As a class, they probably believe the myth handed down by generations of contented white forefathers that true merit will

conquer all. To believe otherwise would confront them with the necessity of questioning the justice of the American system. And so it is more comfortable for them to com-

plain that they are victims of an aberrational injustice inflicted upon them by noisy pressure groups than to admit that they have been politically outmaneuvered by people who un- derstand the system better than they.

The question no one asks is why the country must have a large supply of people to be discriminated against This takes us into dangerous water indeed, for when there are enough jobs

to absorb a nation's talents and enough schools to fulfill people's desires for education, the need for discrimination withers away.

The country obviously does not provide enough jobs and schools. Some say it cannot afford to and that trying to do so would destroy a system which, after all. is working pretty well. If not, if have-nots in large supply are an economic necessity, then victims of descrimination are a vital part of the system, and the cunning will make sure that the duty of victimhood passes to somebody else.

Broken Lance' a conflict of interest WASHINGTON — Jimmy Carter is trying to sell the Senate a

dubious bill of goods' about "his long-time friend. Office of Management and Budget Director Bert Lance.

The Georgia banker should be excused from conflict-of-interest divestiture promises, the President has asserted, because his promise to sell his stock has depressed its market value.

That is a deception. The reason that National Bank" of Georgia stock has slid from 16 to 11 this year has little to do with the "overhang." The stock has dropped because of the revelation that Lance tolerated bad loans on his books. The man who inherited the mess has had to write off the bad loans and suspend dividend payments.

The truth is that Lance's departure for Washington did not cause his financial embarrassment. On the contrary, we now see how his willingness to carry questionable loans as assets may have ar- tifically maintained the price of this stock.

Carter is intimately familiar with Lance's affairs On June 19, 1975, only a few weeks after borrowing $2.7 million to finance the purchase of his stock, Bert Lance brought Jimmy Carter to the Manufacturers Hanover Bank in New York to meet Lew Jenkins, the bank officer responsible with Brupe Broughm for making the Lance loan

Purely a sdcial call, insists Lance, nothing to do with using the former Georgia governor to shore up his reputation as a borrower. But Jenkins was the only banker to whom Lance took the new presidential candidate that day.

Bankitician Lance, who was Governor Carter's highway com-

missioner, also claims to have had nothing to do with the infusion of the Teamsters Central States pension fund money into his bank in early 1976, as Carter's star began to rise. At-the time, the Lance bank's three-person trust department hatr-no account over $2 million to manage; for no apparent reason, the politically sensitive Teamsters fund put into the Lance bank $18 million that has since grown to $23 million.

Not my doing, says the modest Lance today. Bank officials want us to believe that Atlantans John Spickerman. Teamster employer trustee, and Robert Pollar, Teamster fund lawyer, initiated the deal with King Cleveland, Lance's colleague, now retired.

But after Carter's election, on the very morning Lance's picture was front-paged as the first Carter Cabinet likelihood—Nov. 24, 1976— Lance met in his tjank with Teamster pension fund executive director Dan Shannon, John Spickerman and Teamster lawyer William Nellis of Chicago. Lance sees no impropriety in a Cabinet designee helping to line up some future business with the fund that the Labor Department says corruptly bankrolls Las Vegas mob- sters, i

Just before leaving Atlanta six months ago, Lance must have had cause to worry about his financial house of cards He turned to another Democratic bankitician, J. Robert Abboud, the gogo boss of the First National Bank of Chicago, who has replaced his mentor, the late Mayor Daley, as the city's most powerful man

Abboud must have been delighted to bail out a man who would be part of the President's quadriad, and whose ambitions include becoming chairman of the Federal Reserve. On Jan. 6,1977, prior to

his Jan 11 trip to Washington. Abboud refinanced the $2.7 million Manufacturers Hanover I-oan that enabied Lance to own his stock- adding another $725,000. .

Why? Lance (give him credit, he answers his phone) says, "First Chicago is moving aggressively in the Atlanta area "

I see a more sinister motive First Chicago's Abboud knows aal about bad real estate loans, and should have known that Lance's assets would shrink when the bad loans were audited by a suc- cessor.

The central question, which Senators Ribicoff and Percy do not see, is this: Was the President's most powerful Cabinet member given a "sweetheart loan'"' Did Lance's assets include his closeness to President Carter? And why did he need that extra money in the refinancing?

Here we have a situation in which the man in charge of the nation's books is deeply, dangerously in hock; who goes home every night not knowing whether the Labor Department will find out about his teamster connections, or the SEC will look into his assurances to 45 people about a stock issue, or the bank examiners and First Chicago stockholders will expose a sweetheart loan, or the man on who he depends for financial solvency will exert some

■ subtle pressure for political advantage. Jimmy Carter's Broken Lance is a walking conflict-of-interest.

The complaisant Senate subcommittee now glancing at his wheeling and dealing should stop making an exception and start making an example. „ , _,

Body language Performer calls mime international voice

He does not speak when he per- forms—but his body speaks for him With his exaggerated body movements he plays upon "the full scale of human emotions ..from the tear to the giggle."

Francisco Reynders believes mime is an international language. "It can be performed and understood anywhere in the world "

Reynders, one of three artists which comprise the Oregon Mime Theatre, will perform tonight at 8 p.m. in the Student Center Ballroom

The spoken word is not a means of communication in the early part of a child's life, Reynders says Mime is appreciated by adults because "all adults were once children "

But even when adults, "everything most precious is non-verbal," he says "When lovers come together, when you pray—the verbal communication stops."

With all art forms, the artist "tries to communicate something to somebody else."

He says his performances are carefully prepared, "then spon- taneous." Communication must flow from the artist to his audience and back, he explains

"The person on the stage or the audience are nothing by themselves What they do together is called theater."

The audience must respond or the artist fails.

Reynders says there have been times when he has been unable to reach an audience When that hap- pens, he says, "I swear a lot. But I'm the guilty one. I could not or would not try to reach them "

Mime requires using the senses more, both to perform and to watch., he says.

Reynards performed for the Wyde School for the Deaf Thursday mor- ning. The reaction of the deaf children to his mime, he says, "was won- derful."

People with normal hearing rely too much upon verbal communication, neglecting the other senses, he says. The deaf children "are trained to listen with their eyes."

Through art, one can expand the mind and utilize the senses to the fullest, he says.

Reynders is a native of the Netherlands. He began his mime study in Paris as a student of Etienne Decoux, a renowned figure in the art.

He came to the United States in 1967 and worked as a scenic designer for Broadway productions, television and movies before beginning his mime career

But mime is not his only artistic interest. He works in several mediums, from sculpture to ar- chitecture

He is currently designing and building a house "based on the circle.''

Living in rectangular rooms is like "preparing youself for a coffin," he explains. "It's an artificial en- vrionment.straight lines are not found in nature.

He says he wants to build a 'house in harmony with "the curves of the waves and the trees."

All art, he says, "is an adventure It deals with humanity as a whole."

Trotemity Row' muddles along There's a movie somewhere in

"Fraternity Row," but after a little while of trying, this critic finally gave up any hope of finding it

"Fraternity Row" is a chronically imbalanced film. Most of its major aspects i screenplay, directing, acting, even costumes and sets* occasionally border on both excellence and the ridiculous, finally wallowing in a sea of mediocrity.

It's the story of the I9M Gamma Nu

pledge class at an elite Eastern university And for about a third of the film everyone seems so preoccupied with their crew-cuts and oxfords that

* little else gets done. Yet about the time we begin to get

interested in the actives-pledges conflict, and in particular the closer relationship between pledgemaster Roger and pledge class president Zach (effectively played by Paul Fox and Gregory Harrison), the two of them

Tim Conway special Saturday LOS ANGELES (AH )-Think of Tim

Conway and the word that comes to mind is bumbling

First, there was the bumbling transportation manager for the Cleveland Indians on "The Steve Allen Show" back in the early 1960s He never knew where the team or the buses were

Then, as Ensign Parker on "McHale's Navy," he nearly scuttled a PT boat fleet. He's bumbled his way through countless television guest

appearances, three series of his own and Disney movies to his present berth

Kimbell shows

Chinese works The Kimbell Art Museum has a

special display of Chinese ceramics from Japanese collections T'and through Ming Dynasties now on display through October 16

This exhibition of more than 90 objects represents the great achievements of China's ceramic art between 618-1644 It was assembled from 35 distinguished private and public collections in Japan.

Focusing on excavated pieces and heirlooms that were transported to Japan, the exhibitions clearly reflect the commercial, cultural and artistic ties that have long linked China and Japan

The museum is open 10-5 Tuesday through Saturday. 1-5 p.m. Sunday, and closed Mondays

Guitar classes

to be broadcast KZEW-98FM has arranged for Tom

Wyatt of Arnold and Morgan Music Company of Dallas to teach a guitar class on-the-air. The class is once a week for six weeks, covering the different basics of guitar playing.

The program will air each Tuesday night at 1:00 beginning this week, and will be repeated each following Sunday morning at 9 a.m.

Guitar course manuals are available free and can be picked up at Arnold and Morgan Music Company, 510 S. Garland Road in Garland

on CBS' "Carol Burnett Show." This Sal unlay you can see him

salute the armed forces in Ins own bumbling way, of course in his latest special. "Uncle Tim Wants You." Bernadette Peters and Jonathan Winters join him at 8 p.m. EDT on CBS

Conway has honed an enduring character who varies with the situation but remains basically the same. He describes him thus: "He's a guy who thinks he's right but is dead wrong and doesn't know it. It's up to the viewers to see him for what he is. a bumbling idiot No matter what disaster strikes him. he plows straight ahead."

It's a mailer (if attitude that turns it from drama to comedy "Look at all Ihe things (hat happened to the guy in 'Taxi Driver,"' he said, referring to Ihe movie in which the driver reacts by going on a killing binge, "You could switch that around and make it a comedy. That's what comedy is—you take Ihe serious things in life and look at them humorously."

This special is a salute to the military, but Conway said, "It's just an excuse for a special. We make no Statements about war or society. We just as well could have a salute to (logs "

A running gag has him as a German soldier trying to kill Gen. George Patton in a parody of George C. Scott's speech before the huge American flag

in "Patton." Conway is so inept with an assortment of weapons, all of which backfire on him, that the general is never aware of his presence behind him.

Conway and Winters are especially effective as they as lib their way through a sketch in which Conway, as a drill sergeant, tries to show recruit Winters how to assemble his Ml rifle.

"Jonathan wanted to wing it. That's the way he works best," he said. "If you're capable, why not get the best. All I'd have to do was ask him where he was from or had he ever shot a gun before. He'd make up weird things

"When I asked him if he'd ever shot a gun. he said. Yeah, back on the farm I shot my step brother out of a tree. He didn't have no business up there.' Obviously, you can't write dialogue like that, it just comes to fast."

My favorite among the sketches is Conway as a retiring general giving his farewell speech to the ac- companiment of an echo. At first the echo only repeats what Conway says. Then il begins to correct his grammar and finally his claims of a distinguished military career.'

get bogged down in shallow relationships with some sorority sisters (insipidly played by Nancy Morgan and Wendy Phillips) and as they bog down, so bogs the film.

Some college students, especially non-Greeks, may perceive "Frater- nity Row" as anti-fraternal since it predictably makes much of the horrors of being a pledge and the gruesome duties involved therein However, a rather obscure debate between Roger and Zach on the vir- tues of idealism and the visions of F. Scott Fitzgerald is irritatingly repeated until we get the point that there is "meaning" in this movie. But by this time, who cares?

There are worthwhile elements in "Fraternity Row." When it drops its pretensions and becomes momen- tarily oblivious to its cuteness, there are real moments of entertainment and value. But scattered moments, although excellent when isolated, only add up to frustration when strung together in a two hour stream of film

And with a movie with the potential of "Fraternity Row," that's really a pity. Currently playing at TCU Theater

> Friday, September 18,1977 THE DAILY SKIFF

Conspiracy sleuthing beconhing popular vocation America's fascination with assassination has been pricked once again. The

House assassinations committee is just the tip of the iceburg While committee members toil away tracking down leads in the John Kennedy and Martin Luther King murders, other people around the country are also spending time on the subject

In fact, not only has conspiracy sleuthing become a respectable job for a congressman, it has become the vocation of literally hundreds more.

In Washington, DC, a small group of youthful zealots called the Assassination Information Bureau has set up shop funneling bits of data to the House committee and monitering its work. The A.IB. is perhaps the most successful of the latter-day assassination research groups, according to Tom Miller, author of the just-published Assassination Please Almanac. (The initial

response to Miller's book is, in fact, another example of the fascination with assassination.)

Begun four years ago as an informal group caaled the Grassy Knoll Debating Society, the A IB sprung into national prominence when it sponsored a major conference on the Kennedy assassination in early 1975

The A.J.B., which still maintains a Cambridge, Ma. office, has a half-dozen speakers in its fold whose presentations throughout the country on "Who killed JFK?" have regularly packed auditoriums. This past spring, the A.IB. enlisted the support of Norman Mailer.

What is startling about the interest in the Kennedy assassination is, however, that there are local people in scores of communities throughout the United States who lecture on the subject at high schools, churches, and fraternal organizations—in fact, anywhere an interest is expressed

These speakers are in all parts of the country, toil in all walks of life, and span ages from 16 to 60. It is an underground phenomenon, insists author Miller, who last year sent out questionnaires to assassination lecturers around the country.

The results of Miller's questionnaire make up an entire chapter in The Assassination Please Almanac, listing virtually every Kennedy assassination speaker and resource group in the United States—as well as five that Miller discovered overseas. Most of them, Miller concludes, are in towns with populations between 40,000 and 90,000, have some college education, and have studied assassination literature extensively And, adds Miller, they all refuse to accept the Warren Commission's conclusion that Lee Oswald acted alone in killing John Kennedy and that Jack Ruby likewise acted alone when he shot Oswald.

Porks offer peace of mind

The Japanese Gardens in Fort Worth have a variety of trees including these Japanese Maples.

Joe Kennedy feoture to be aired Everyone knows about Jack and

Robert and Ted. But few remember Joe or know that he was the first Kennedy to be groomed for the presidency. Peter Strauss stars as Joseph Kennedy Jr. in "Young Joe. The Forgotten Kennedy," at 9 p.m. EDT Monday on ABC.

This film offers an incisive look at the closely knit Irish Catholic family, where Joseph Kennedy Sr. demanded the best from his sons.

Young Joe was under tremendous pressure to return from World War 11 with a brilliant military record in order to begin his political career It gnawed on him that his brother Jack

was already a hero as a PT boat commander. But after two tours as a Navy pilot he still had no combat experience, although he has begun an affair with a woman who is married and, worse, a Protestant

As the war drew to an end his op- portunity came. Forced to choose between the woman he loved and that one chance at immortality, he volunteered for a dangerous mission

He died when his plane exploded Strauss gives a sensitive portrayal

of Joe. coping with family obligations and yet reaching out for a forbidden love Barbara Parkins costars as his love interest. Stephen Elliott is ex- cellent as the elder Kennedy, por- traying him as a man who demands so much of his family because of the rebuffs he suffered for being both Irish and Catholic.

BY CHRIS KELLEY Assistant Entertainment Editor

Have you ever looked for a place in the city just to get away from it all? A place where you can take your shoes off and run through acres of green grass, surrounded by tall trees. Fort Worth has several such places They are city parks

Fort Worth has 127 parks, including a 233 acre park within walking distance from TCU campus. Forest Park is located a half-mile north of campus on University Drive. It en- compasses several playing areas, as well as acres of green grass waiting to be ran on.

A little further down the road is Fort Worth's oldest park, Trinity. Acquired in 1892, Trinity Park has 252 acres and has features similar to Forest Park Not far from Trinity on University Drive at Jacksboro is Rockwood Park Its 235 acres includes a public golf course. Also on University Drive is one of the jnost outstanding botanic gardens in the nation according to horticulturists. Fort Worth Botanic Gardens are visited by 80,000 to 125,000 people annually throughout the world. This 114 acre garden has nearly 3500 rose bushes, 2,000 different plants and more than 150 varieties of trees Seasonal color can be enjoyed year round when daffodils, daylilies, chrysanthemums, and flowering trees are in bloom

Recent features added to the garden consist of a frangrance garden for the blind, theater-like lighting, and a 7.43- acre Japanese Garden There are plans for aconservatory and demonstration garden.

The garden is open all hours and the Garden Center is open from 8 to 5 Monday through Friday.

"To the Japanese mind, the garden is not only a place for the cultivation of trees and flowering plants, but one that provides secluded leisure, rest, repose,meditation and sentimental pleasure....," says Takuma P. Tono of Brooklyn Botanic Garden describing the Japanese Gardens in Fort Worth

Its beauty lies in the use of natural

Stage collapses;

Stein way unhurt One leg of a nine-foot Steinway

grand piano fell through the recently renovatedstage floor in Ed Landreth Auditorium Friday, according to Al Loyd, stage manager.

The piano was being moved to find the best position for it when it fell It wasto be used in the Fifth Van Cliburn International Competition, which began Sept.II.

Only about two or three inches of the piano's leg fell through the floor which was "probably caused by a faulty piece of lumber,"says Loyd. There was no damage to the piano.

"Structurally, the floor is fine," said the stage manager. Quick repairs weremade to ready the floor for the competition and Loyd added that the stage floor will be thoroughly repaired after the Cliburn competition.

The stage renovation totalled about $51,000 says Loyd. It was completed before the school year began.

The Fort Worth Art Museum has recently unveiled a major work of art for its permanent collection. "Whistle Stop", painted by Robert Rauschenberg, is now on public display for the first time.

The museum's director Jay Belloli considers the work to be the museums most important acquisition since the purchase of Pablo Picasso's "Femme Couchee Lisante" and "Suite Vollard" in 1965.

Rauschenberg is noted to be one of the greatest living artists of all times. A native of Port Arthur, Texas, he is considered a pivotal figure in the development of contemporary art

He has had major exhibitions at such institutions as The Museum of Modern Art in New York, The Stedelijk Museum, and Stockhom Museum. He has received an un- precedented cover story in Time magazine as well as a 4-page color article in Newsweek last fall.

In addition, he was asked by The New York Times to create an original work to be reproduced on the front page of the Art Section when the retrospective opened in New York.

The Fort Worth Art Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. The museum is located at 1309 Mon- tgomery Street.

This man draws blood.

And has a Pulitzer Prize to show for it.

Erxleben, who led the nation in punting last year, said having three top kickers in the SWC provides for competition.

Franklin said his soccer-style was culled from hours of watching side kickers boom them, through the uprights on television. Little's style was developed on the soccer fields of Norway where his father worked.

Erxleben uses the conventional straight-on approach because "We didn't have soccer at Seguin."

Ducks best bet for Frog revival By CHUCK AULT Assistant Sports Editor

If you thought the SMU-TCU game was important, forget it. What is important is tomorrow's game. If the Frogs don't win against the Oregon Ducks Saturday, it's likely they'll only have one more chance to win a game this season.

That'll be against Rice October 8 In fact, Rice is the team TCU last defeated back in 1975, the final game of the year.

However, have faith Frog fans, because Oregon is in the same spot the Frogs are in. Oregon can't run against a fast defense. That was proven last week when they lost to Georgia 27-16. Their points came,on a touchdown pass and three field goals.

Last week TCU demonstrated they are capable of playing tough defense as they limited SMU to just two first downs, 37 yards rushing and zero yards passing in the second quarter. And Coach Dry has promised some changes including the shifting of personnel.

With the naming of Raymond Williams and Jimmy Allen as the starting back- field, Coach Dry may be indicating that the coaches have solved the problems in the offensive line and will be running the option often Saturday. Both Williams and Allen are speedsters and given room outside, they can rack up yardage in a hurry.

The highlight of the day could be a duel between TCU's Steve Bayuk and * Oregon's Jack Henderson. The two quarterbacks should provide much en- tertainment to the fans, especially if the running games go nowhere. If that happens, look for a 500-plus yard aerial show from the two. ..... .„ •

Frog receiver Mike Renfro will continue his run at the SW£ record book. He,., began his quest in fine fashion last week with seven catches for 110 yards and^*.'' touchdown against SMU. Renfro now has career totals of 119 receptions and.2,8££' yards. ' «T' *" .

The SWC records are 155 and 2,275 held by SMU's Jerry Levias. Thus, Renfro needs 37 more catches and 220 yards to take the lead. Last week's game was Kenfro's ninth with over 100 yards in receptions.

Two players to watch in the game are Roy Geiger and Steve Morman. If given the opportunity, these guys could excite the crowd with booming field goals Both are capable of kicking 50-yarders.

Against Georgia. Geiger booted field goals of 33,32 and 26 yards, Steve Morman placed all but one Frog kickoffs against SMU into or out of the end zone. Added improvement to the TCU kicking game came from punter Cameron Young who had a 45.8 yard average with his longest a 61-yarder, while Tony Biasatti was three-for-three on extra points.

If the game is close one of these four men could decide the outcome with their feet.

FROG NOTES— A crowd of just under 20,000 is expected for the first meeting ever of the two teams. A rematch is scheduled for next year at Eugene. Injury- wise offensive guard Lynn Davis has a sprained ankle and may see limited action, while defensive end Jerry Gaither is listed as questionable due to a shoulder problem. it,..

Gaither's job pays off For the first time since he was an

all-district fullback at Waxahachie High School, Jerry Gaither touched a football.

And during TCU's season-opening loss to SMU, Gaither proved he hadn't lost anything. He picked off a Mike Ford pass and set sail 31 yards down the left sidelines in what proved to be a big play for the Frogs.

That interception stopped SMU's third offensive drive and set up the first TCU touchdown of the season, a one-yard drive by Duncan Still, that pulled TCU to within 14-7 in the second quarter,

that we use in long yardage situations," said Gaither, a 6-2, 220- pounder, who doesn't get back into the pass coverage scene very often from his defensive end position.

When head coach FA. Dry took over the •TCU coaching post position, he expressed concern about the linebacker-defensive end position, two important slots in the new 5-2 align- ment.

The only veteran holdovers with experience were Gaither and linebacker Billy Neel. Dry had Gaither experimenting at the linebacker post during spring training

But he's happier at end. "Defensive end is almost like our

linebacker position last year," Gaither said of the 4-3 alignment used by the Jim Shofner staff. "I'm more comfortable there than at the middle position at linebacker."

Injuries, Gaither believed, kept the TCU defense from coming together during the long 1976 season.

"Every week we had two to three new people in there. We just never seemed to work together as a unit. When I lined up alongside Scott O'Glee

(a defensive end) I knew where he would be on every play. But when he wasn't there, you'd have to adjust and that created problems."

Despite the lopsided score, the TCU defense came together after Gaither's interception and allowed SMU only two first downs throughout the second quarter.

And the next 17 points the Mustangs scored came after TCU offensive mistakes deep in its own territory

"Gaither had a great game," said Dry. It just wasn't the statistics, six tackles and two for losses, that pleased the new coach. "His aggressiveness busted up another two or three plays."

And Gaither proved with his in- terception return that he can be as aggressive with the ball as without Now, if the staff just needs another fullback . . .
