Rostam Kavoussi of the University and Bill C arter of Texas A&M told the House (Related Photo, Page 8.) Constitutional Amendments Committee that today’s young people are m ore intelligent and better educated than those of the era when tho Constitution was written. Two joint ri^solutions are before the Leg­ islature this session.

In an interview Tues­ day afternoon, he told the Texan he was supporting the 19-year limit for “ practical political reasons. “It. has a better chance of passing the House. There is too much criticism against allowing 18-year-old to vote,’* Nowlin stated. “The difference is that most 19-year-olds are away from home and no longer under the strict influence of their parents.” school children Nowlin said he is optimistic about chances for passage of the resolution. Kavoussi pointed out the tremendous dif­ ference in education the years. “ The state has been paving the way for this action through its large appropriations for education in the state.” he said. through Kavoussi concluded his argum ents by say­ ing “ Those who a re affected by decisions should have a voice in selecting those who m ake the decisions. “Many of us at the University live in Austin and a re directly affected by deci­ sions of the City Council. We cannot elect the Governor who appoints Regents or the senators who confirm them, but we must abide by their judgm ents.” Kavoussi's testimony was only part of that given by several other student body presidents and several executives. Carter, who followed Kavoussi, favored the resolution for nearly the sam e reasons that had already been enum erated. According to the automatic subcommittee rule, the resolution was referred for fur­ ther study. Bob H igley Bill Green Joe Krier Smith Signs Riot Curb New Disorders Measure Effective in September Gov. Preston Smith Tuesday inked the bill which will m ake it a criminal offense to participate in violent disruption on Tex­ as campuses. The law will not become effective how­ ever, until early September. It failed last week to gain the two-thirds Senate m ajori­ ty vote necessary for it to become law immediately. The document signed was a compromise introduced by version of an earlier hill (Related Photo, Page 9.) Rep. Joe Shannon of Fort Worth. Shannon’s bill was amended by the Senate and sent to a conference committee of the two hous­ es before the present form was reached. Tile law provides for penalties including fines from $1 to $200 and/or jail sentences of IO days to six months. The specified offenses include disruption ranging from occupying buildings and breaking up classes to blocking campus gateways and preventing passage through corridors. There is still much discussion on the legis­ lation, especially in the Senate, where Sen. Oscar Mauzy of Dallas introduced a sim i­ la r bill immediately after passage of the compromise there. Mauzy is concerned that the present law m ay he ruled unconstitutional in view of recent US Supreme Court decisions. His hill contains language taken directly from the Supreme Court decisions. the bill was signed Shannon, however, said Tuesday just be­ fore that he thinks the Mauzy bill “ is too w atered down. I don't think there will be any need for two bills on the sam e subject.” Shannon said he did not expect the new Sen. Criss Cole of Houston said he pre­ ferred the bill that Mauzy introduced last week. Cole said the Mauzy bill “sets up adm inistrative procedure concerning dis­ the It also ruptive action. language of the Supreme Court.” incorporates * " k Tr-r? * * mmm I VOTE II TODAY!

A host of SDS-sponsored speakers, an In­ vitation to University President Norman Hackerman and Board of Regents Chair­ m an Frank C. Erwin Jr. to speak, and an open microphone, highlighted the three-hour gathering which began at noon. Larry Waterhouse, m aster of cerem on­ ies for the event, opened with a lecture on the background of the case, which cam e to a climax Saturday when President Hacker­ man informed SDS of the adm inistration’s decision. Legal Adviser Speaks Fred Cohen, professor of law, was the first in a long line of pro-SDS speakers. Cohen, a legal adviser to SDS, informed the audience of SDS’ plan for initiating ac­ tion in federal district court Wednesday, for an injunction or tem porary restraining order against the administration. “ This is the clearest case of the mast blatant action by State officials that I have ever encountered,” said Cohen. “ We have allowed another nail to be ham m ered into our coffin by allowing the adm inistration to pander to the Legislature. Co-Plaintiffs .Sought bill to pass. “ They (the adm inistration) have shown not even a sem blance of concern for fair and orderly procedure. Moreover, they have shown contempt for the basic principles of the F irst Amendment.” Declares Rule Unconstitutional Cohen stated that the Regents’ rule which allows the Board to override decisions of the Texas Union Board, which originally granted SDS use of the Union, is uncon­ stitutional. Then, in a display of emotion, Cohen called for action. “ This is simply the latest in a series of provocations that are inviting action, and I suggest that action be taken,” he said. Next to speak was Gary Thiher. SDS m em ber, who employed a phrase-by-phrase attack on President H ackerm an’s official statem ent on the m atter, released Saturday. His address was at times applauded by the crowd. Another SDS m em ber Grog Calvert, out­ lined the court procedures to be taken and solicited University organizations’ leaders in the audience to join as co-plaintiffs in the case. “ It is quite possible, even quite likely, that we will be turned down in federal dis­ trict court,” Calvert said, “ So, we’ve al­ ready taken the next step. We will go be­ fore an em ergency panel of the Fifth Cir­ cuit of Appeals in New Orleans with our case. We should get a ruling from them by Monday.” the that Calvert announced local SDS has been consulting with two lawyers from the Law Center for Constitutional Rights in New Jersey, William Kuensler and Ar­ thur Kinoy. An Austin attorney, Mark Z. Levbarg, will handle the case Wednesday. Calvert read a letter received by special delivery early Tuesday morning from E r­ win. The letter (which is printed in full on Page 4 of this issue of the Texan) in­ formed SDS that Erwin was “actively con­ sidering” calling a special session of the Regents to discuss the controversy. Supporters Received Before the rally adjourned, Calvert had received pledges of support from the Union Curtain Club, the University Committee to End the War in Vietnam, the Texas Coali­ tion against the War, the Young Socialist Alliance, and had received an unconfirmed com m ittm ent from tile New Left Education Project. The Young Dem ocrats and the Mexican-American Student Organization have also given support. Students’ Association President Rostam Kavoussi spoke briefly and suggested that some m em bers of the Legislature a re in­ terested in the situation and have the host interests of tile students in mind.

Goldman Depicts Metro-American Bv LYNNE FLOORE Associate News Editor Fifty years from now, Americans won’t consider themselves “Texans” or “Cali­ fornians,” but members of metropolitan areas, Dr. Eric F. Goldman, once special consultant to former President Lyndon B. Johnson, speculated Tuesday. “ I’m from New Jersey,” the Rollins Pro­ fessor of History at Princeton University told a Texas Union audience, “but up there, there is no such word as New Jer­ sey.” It is something you pass through going from New York to Philadelphia.” The seven present metropolitan areas will grow in size and number. They will be inhabited not by an urban American but a “metro-American,” who now represents 40 per cent of the population, according to Dr. Goldman. “ His environment has been good to him. His is the first generation to grow up as­ suming war. He's liberal, but with m any conservative undertones.” He Is wary of do-goodism, and shies away from absolut­ ism. “ With the relativism which is his liberal heritage, his only basic tenet is flexibility,” said Dr. Goldman. But “no generation has ever lived on flexibility alone. Some canon m ust be found.” He cited the McCarthy presidential cam ­ the first metro-American cam ­ in American paign as paign, a new “phenomenon life.” Dr. Goldman said that Johnson did not have the flexibility that metro-Americans have. The new Americans had the effect, lie observed, of reducing a man from an unprecedented low 39 per cent popularity when he left office. Dr. Goldman is the author of “Tile Trag­ edy of Lyndon Johnson,” newly released, “ The Crucial Decade." and ‘'Rendezvous with Destiny " The Speaker's Committee sponsored the talk. landslide victory to a Several socio-economic factors other than geographical location have helped to pro­ duce what Dr. Goldman calls George Bab­ bitt Jr.. who lives not on Main Street, but Picasso Road. He is better educated, younger, and finan­ cially better off than before. Tile "m elting pot" conception of American Society is giv­ ing way to m ote of an "enclave of groups that preserve their identity, like the Negro group.” The modern liberalism has altered the thinking, Dr. metro-AmerLean’s way of Goldman explained. listened "Many years ago. I was a young liberal who to Franklin Roosevelt gay ’. . . til is generation has a rendezvous with destiny.’ We went out and w'orked hard, and brought better living to a greater num­ ber of Americans “ But we m ade the mistake of not break­ . . . on the Negro ing with our fathers" issue. “Yours is a crazy rendezvous.

The GOP members said the five-year extension, earning the President through legislation Richard M.

The vote on the bill, which car-I ries an authorization of $5 billion for the next fiscal year, was 21 to 13. Two Republicans, Ogden R. Reid of New York and Alphonzo Boil of California, voted with the Democrats in favor of it. But Rep. Albert II.

News Capsules _______ By The Associated Press______ US Drives to Blunt Saigon Threat S A IG O N Enemy rockets slammed into a shanty neighborhood of Da Nang and around the northern city’s navy pier early W ednesday. Far to the south, US forces pressed one of the war’s biggest drives to blunt a threat to Saigon. First reports from Da Nang said l l Vietnamese civil­ ians were killed in the fourth rocket attack on the city of the enemy’s spring offensive. Twenty-four persons were reported wounded, three of them US military personnel. Many of the victims were women and children. The US Command in Saigon reported a total of 23 over­ night rocket and mortar attacks on cities and bases, con­ centrated mostly in the northernmost First Corps military! area. Since the offensive began Fob. 23, Saigon has been rocketed five times and the ancient capital Hue twice. President Richard M.
