BROAD Cops clash over fuzz (ZNS) Two Texas police officials have publicly clashed over a policy of cutting off the hair of all "Hippies" who are arrested in the town of Pecos, Texas. The battle between the lawmen started when Reeves County Sheriff A. B. Nail announced that he always cuts off the hair of Hippies to keep his jail in order and to keep it clean. However, a patrolman in nearby Corpus Christi, G. C. Bennett, immediately announced he was appalled by Sheriff Nail's hair-cutting policy. Patrolman Bennett wrote a letter to the Sheriff, charging: (quote) "It is departments like yours that give us (Policemen) such names as Rexall Rangers, Pig, Dogs, etc." The Patrolman continued: (qttote) "The way you stereotype longhairs as being practically thugs is one of the many reasons the public which we serve stereotypes us as no-good bastards." Sheriff Nail replied by suggesting that Patrolman Bennett (quote) "Go back to school." The Sheiff added: (quote) "We try to keep the jail clean and we can't do it with a bunch of long-haired Hippies with lice and vermin." CASE CALLED FOR LACK OF JURY (ZNS) A Washington, D.C. Superior Court Judge—in a landmark case—has freed a 20-year-old man facing pot charges because he could not find "a jury of peers." Judge Harry Alexander handed down his decision after reviewing the ages of prospective jurors in the case against Michael McCoy. The Defense had requested that at least half of the 12-member jury be between the ages of 20 and 30. However, on the first panel brought in, 15 of the 21 people were 50 years old or older—and one was 74. IGHACRES COLLEGIAN, NOVEMBER 16, 1972, PAGE THREE ROTC picks .PSU co-eds University Park, Pa.— Coeds at the Pennsylvania State University have won six of the 20 four-year scholarships offered nationwide under the Army's new ROTC program for women. "It is highly significant," said Colonel Thomas J. Collins Jr., professor of military science at Penn State, "that more than 30 per cent of the first scholarships awarded to women went to lnn State girls. " University students among the scholarship winners, as announced by the U.S. Continental Army Command, are: Nancy C. Fuller, of Pettsburgh; Mary D. Johnston, of Levittown; Jill E. Morgenthaler, of Middletown, R. 1.; Carol A. O'Brien, of Wynnewood; Susan E. Rodems, of Syracuse, N.Y.; and Diane K. Shifflett, of Saegertown. All are freshmen and all, with the exception of Miss Johnston, are students at University Park. Miss Johnston is enrolled at Penn State's Altoona Campus. Three of the students are majoring in political science, two are in pre-medical, and one in biochemistry. Three of the five alternates selected for scholarships are also Penn State students. They are Patricia L. McClellan, of State College; Sara Anne Rose, of Pittsburgh, and Carol F. Thompson, of Ducansville. Judge Alexander ordered many of the jurors dismissed and called new panels until a final jury was selected; the final jury consisted of five people in their 20's; five in their 30's; and two . in their 40's. However, before the case could proceed, the government immediately objected; Prosecution Attorneys insisted that the final jury was too young and was (quote) "not representative of the community." The government said it would not continue with its case, so Judge Alexander simply set McCoy free. According to Colonel Collins, the scholarship winners were selected in national competition from among more than 200 eligible women at 10 institutions named by the Department of the Army earlier this year to participate in the new Army Reserve Officers Training Corps program fir women. Selection was made on the basis of high school class standing, scholastic aptitude tests, extra-curricular activities and evaluation by a board of officers. "On that basis," Colonel Collins said, " the participants were ranked in a national order of merit, and awarding of the scholarships recognizes these young ladies for their superior academic ability." Women Army ROTC graduates who are scholarship recipients are commissioned as second lieutenants and assume a four-year active-duty obligation following graduation. They undergo essentially the same training program as the male ROTC cadets except that they are not required to bear arms. ' "Response to the program was far beyond what we anticipated," Colonel Collins said,"and all of the girls have been doing well." They have been active participants in all phases of the program and their reception by male cadets has been enthusiastic, to say the least!"
