Charges against four Lamar
students, arrested in November
while passing out anti-war li-
terature, were dropped by the
state shortly before their trial
scheduled for Saturday.
Wayne Sullivan, senior chem-
istry major, Beaumont, Bennie
Earl Jenkins, freshman arts and
sciences student from Beaumont,
Ann Hawkins, arts and science
major from Ft. Worth and
Charles Simien, Liberty arts and
science major, were arrested on
November 13 near Charlton-
Pollard High School in Beaumont
while selling armbands, peace
buttons and a local underground
paper, What’s Left?.
Arresting officers charged the
four with disturbing the peace.
According to David Stiles, Ame-
rican Civil Liberties attorney
for the four, the complaint, as
worded, would have been diffi-
cult to prove, since the actual
selling of the literature could not
be proven by the arresting offi-
cers.
Stiles further stated that the
charges were filed under a state
statute which reads that it is
unlawful to “interfere with the
peaceful and lawful conduct of
persons in or about their homes
or public places under circum-.
stances in which such conditions
tend to cause or provoke a dis-
turbance*, (Vernon’s Texas Ses-
sion Law Service, sect, 2, sub-
sec. 2).
According to Stiles, the
charges can be refiled under the
same statute with different word-
ing, if the state desires to do so,
because the students were never
placed on trial.
The charges were dropped be-
fore the defendants had a chance
to plead which is called a “dis-
missal without prejudice* and
leaves the state the option of
bringing them to trial again.
Asked if they would hesitate
to again distribute or sell anti-
war or controversial literature
while awaiting the outcome of
further action on the charges,
the students replied, through Sul-
livan, that they would not. Sul-
livan said that they felt they
had broken no laws and were
only excersising their rights as
citizens.
All four students are members
of Lamar Campus Americans for
Democratic Action.
Book Exchange
Cont. from Page 3
the book she had paid $6.90 for
one hour earlier.”
Thibodeaux said that Services
Unlimited was giving students
$4.50 for books that either Childs
or the campus store was giving
$3 or less for and selling them
for $5.50 if in good condition.
Other prices were comperable
to that example. He said they
made enough money to pay their
operating expenses, which was
all they wanted, and provided a
needed service to students, which
was what they intended.
Thibodeaux believes that the
book exchange can be operated
more successfully on a system
wuch as a savings and loan com-
pany uses. Next Fall he plans
to ask the students to bring in
their used books and leave them
for resale on loan.
He will give the students a re-
ceipt with an agreed price. When
the book sells, Thibodeaux will
contact the student who will then
pick up his money or use the
accrued credit to buy books for
himself.
The two student extrepenauers
estimate that they handled around
$800 worth of books this sem-
ester with a savings to students
of around $300 over the book
store prices.
BLANTON TO SPEAK
Mrs. Jewel Blanton, profes-
sor of speech at Lamar, will
speak on “How to prepare and
Deliver a Speech,* at the meet-
ing of the Jefferson County 4—H
Council at 9:30 a.m. Saturday.
The Student Union Board has
petitioned Pres. Frank A. Thom-
as to explore the possibility of
increasing space allocated to
“games* in the Setzer Student
Center.
Presently the games room area
will allow six pool tables and
or ping pong tables, and some
sapce for cards.
The Union Board has request-
ed that a lounge area on the
second floor be converted into
part of the games room adding
six to seven more pool tables.
Dr. Thomas indicated that ar-
chitects estimate a change would
delay completion of the center
for an indeterminate length of
time, roughly estimated at four
to six weeks. A firm delay time
will depend upon architectural
sketches and contractor’s est-
imates upon their receipt.
In a letter to Dr. Thomas,
Johnny Prosperie, chairman of
the Student Union Board wrote:
“The Student Union Board has
discussed the proposal of alter-
ing plans of the Setzer Student
Center to convert the lounge
space located west of the sec-
ond floor section of the Multi-
Use Room into a games area.
It is our understanding that such
a change would make it pos-
sible to add six or seven pool
tables to our recreation facil-
ities.
“We realize that such a change
would cause a delay in completion
of the Setzer Student Center of
perhaps four to six weeks. How-
ever, we feel the addition of
more space to the games area
is desirable and the board has
voted unanimously to support
such a change.
‘We will aprreciate it if you
will explore with the architects
the feasibility of such a change,
and implement such a change
