Disaster plan An emergency disaster plan which sets forth city actions in case of any major catastrophe--is being formulated by the City of Canyon. Department heads from the city met Thursday with City Manager Howard Northcutt to discuss an emergency disaster plan. Northcutt said many cities have such an emergency plan. "Mainly it elminates any doubt of going to run things In case of a disaster and organizes the various city departments to minimize confusion," Northcutt said, "it also provides for priorities in decision- making." He said essentially the plan will provide for setting someone in charge and organizing departments so they know what to do and where to go.

Although the plan is now just in the formative stages, Northcutt said he feels it should provide for coordination between the city and the utility companies as well as the city's hospital. certainly not trying totellother agencies how they should be run," he said. "We're mainly interested in the city force only." Tentatively, the plan calls for the city manager to be coordinator in case of a (See DISASTI R.

Dowlen said Parker held a chattel mortgage signed by Hill for a radio, record player and record stand in February. He said the mortgage for the goods was for payable in May. "Pud said Simmie had not paid and we had no idea where the merchandise was," Dowlen said. "So we filed a major misdemeanor on Hillfor concealing mortgaged property." TTie district attornev said the charges were filed about p.m. Wednesday.

"1'hen the Offi'e notified Simmie about the charges and he said, meffei that his agent was to have paid he (HUl) owed in Carv. on some months ago," Dowlen said.

Hill reportedly signed for a large bonus with the Stars early last Spring. He had been a top scorer for the WTSU team in the previous season.

The first hnlf of Saturday West Texas State University-San Diego State football tilt was a defensive tug-of-war, but the second half exploded Into an unequaled show of determination and spirit by the Buffaloes even as they lost to the Aztecs 24-14 on the home field. The hometown crowd of 14,000 saw run-away football at its best during the second half of play as the Buffs and Aztecs opened the throttle on their offenses and racked up two touchdowns in less than 36 seconds. Touted as the best team to ever play in Buffalo Bowl prior to the Saturday outing, the San Diego Staters proved they were a team which could pull the big play when It counted. But, the Buffs proved they were spunky enough not to be overly Impressed with the Aztec reputation. Dennis Shaw, Diego State All- America candidate quarterback, showed the West Texans why he is considered in the running for the coveted honor.

Even though during the first half he had a problem hitting his targets, Shaw unleashed some mighty passes in the second half which turned the tide against the Buffs. West Texas ace quarterback Clarence Redic saw no action during the entire first half of play as he was replaced Eric Roanhaus. Reidc, who has played nearly all of every other Buff game this season, was reportedly sick during the first half. But, he sick the second. He Dairy building seen Saturday Open house at West Texas new $27,000 dairy building was held Saturday, but actual operations there are not expected to begin for another week.

Kenneth llson, dairy manager and in structor In dairy science, said when operations be in the new building, which is located tw miles north of the east Canyon water tower, the old dairy facility will be used manly for raising baby calves. The new building is 25 by 100 feet and will house the milk room, a parlor and a field laboratory. It will have 60 linear feet of viewing class along one side to permit of st rvation of milking pro cess from outside the building. "A person will be able to drive up at night with the lights on and view the entire milking process without even leaving his automobile if he so ilson said. "All observers are welcome to come out and watch while the milking is progress." He pointed out that a visit might be interesting as well as educational to many city children who know where milk comes from, much less ice cream (See DAIRY, Page 7) the Buffs to a remarkable effort, completing seven of 13 pass attempts for 61 yards.

Interceptions played a key role in the Aztec win. The alert Buff secondary picked off four Shaw aerials to aid the West Texans. The defense picked off two Redic throws. Two of the scores came on Shaw passes, both of them for more than 60 yards. To attest to the quality of both the Buffs and Aztecs is the fact that seven scouts for professional football teams, possibly the most to view a WTSU game in Canyon, were on hand.

Scouts senting the Baltimore Colts, Houston Oil ers, I os Angeles Rams, New Orleans Saints, Kansas City Chiefs, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns were watching both teams. The first quarter of action was a stand off as neither team could launch a dei 1 Sive attack. And the second quarter seemed to be going the same way until the final two minutes of play. With 1:11 showing in the half, A1 I ima- helu capped a 43-yard drive, which took eight plays, with a 26-yard field goal. With the sound of the first half buzzer, the Aztecs led 3-0.

Midway in the third quarter, the Buffs took over on their own nine yard line after a fourth down attempt failed by the San Diego. On the West Texans' first play -and first play of the sophomore quarterback threw directly into the hands of defender Dallas Stahr, a 215 pound Aztec linebacker, who amper into the end zone from the 17. conversion was gfKxj and the Aztecs led 1O-0. But, the West Texans had just to life. The rugged Buff defense held the SDS team to almost nothing and with just minutes remaining in the quarter the ball ovet to the offense for its first (See BUFFAl OFS, Page 7) Seeks peace nationally in Vietnam Moratorium supported here A nationwide moratorium to seek peace in Vietnam, planned for Wednesday, will be supported by a group of faculty members and students at West Texas State University and by several students at Canyon High School.

A film, "Last Reflections on a War," will be shown at 11:05 a.m. and 8 p.m. Wednesday in the student union building ballroom on the WTSU campus. The film is sponsored by a group of students and faculty, according to Dr. Darrell Munsell and Peter L.

Petersen, both of the university history department. Several students at Canyon High School have said they will wear black arm bands during Wednesday classes in support of the moratorium. Dr. Munsell said originally the Vietnam Moratorium Committee, formed last summer in ashington, proposed that Wednesday be set aside on college campuses as a day on which students and faculty would depart from normal schedules to discuss means of brincin pressure to bear on the federal administration to end the war in Vietnam as quickly ts possible. However, recently, the mo rat' num on Wednesday has been supported widespread segments of the nation and is now designated as a national day of education on the war.

National news sources report that public officials, including 17 senators and 47 congressmen, have pledged support to moratorium as long as it is peaceful. Several critics of the war in Congress say they have speakers prepared to keep the House of Representatives tn session all night Tuesday to Support the day. Several church groups nationwide have also pledged their support. Petersen said the WTSU students and faculty supporting the moratorium hope the general public equ-te their support with recent unpeacefuldemonstra tlons by the Students for a Democratic Society. "Last Reflections on a VS ar" is a 44- minute black and white film prepared for National Educational Television, Petersen said, and is based onfilm andtape recordings of the late Bernard B.

The Canyon High School Eagles played Friday night like a super dragster stuck fender-deep in sticky mud- they had plenty of horsepower but Just couldn't seem to get going.

The Eagles, for the second time this season, were held scoreless while the Panthers from Panhandle racked up a 12-point win. It was one of those nights when everything goes wrong for the Eagles as they just make the big play which might have given them momentum. Powerful Eagle runners A1 Bayless, David Erwin and Robert Bull were completely stymied by an aggressive and super-tough Panther defense. Likewise, both CHS quarterbacks Mike Swatzell and David Carter were off their usual in the passing department. Swatzell attempted 10 passes, completed two for minus four yards, and had two intercepted.

Carter completed one of three attempts for $3 yards. The Panthers, a more light weight team than Canyon, were obviously well prepared for the Eagle's explosive offense, as they continually shot the line to catch the CHS runner before he even reached the line of scrimmage. Canyon could barely muster a first down, making only one In the first half of play and only five for the night. The first quarter of the game was a defensive stand-off with the ball changing hands more than three times. But, in the first series of downs of the second period, the Panthers ve 4 In 11 plays to make their first score.

The touchdown came on a p-ss from quarterback Stan Cosby to end Dannv I abus for nine yards. John 1 igle defender, blocked the extra point and the Panthers led 6-0 with 7:40 remaining in the first half. The Eagles had the ball twice more in the half, but were unable to move more than three downs. The half ended with Panhandle owning the ball on their own 28. A terrific northeasterly wind spewed dust across the Panther radium and made passing and kicking hazardous for both teams during the second half.

first series of downs in the second half were from bad field position. 4 Panhandle punt had placed the ball on the own two-yard line. The third quarter ended with no more points on the board and with the Eagles still trying to break a big play. But, with just 35 seconds gone in the fourth quarter, on a third down and long yardage, I Charles Franklin, a (See EAGLES, Page 7) Waiter Knapp after Hade office State Rep. Walter Knapp of Amarillo announced Thursday he would seek election to the Texas Senate next year.

The 39-year-old veteran of eight years in the Texas House said he would file later this year for election subject to the Democratic Primary, to the seat now held by Grady Hazlewood of Canyon. Knapp said he talked to Hazlewood on the floor of the Senate on Sept. 6 and that the senator indicated he would not run for re-election. Hazlewood has made no public an nouncement concerning his plans. He was elected to a four-year term in the election and in the redistricting of 1967 was one of 16 state senators to retain their four year terms.

"There are only 31 Texas senators and we have moved into an era when the U. S. Supreme Court has given the large cities more of these seats in the Senate. "Senators from Districts consisting of rural areas, small towns and small cities have to scrape and claw all the way to offset the advantage of greater numbers which the big city senators have." Knapp Said. "For this reason 1 feel that the 31st Senatorial District needs its most experienced legislator in the Senate seat and 1 (See KNAPP, Page 7) Husband killed in war Widow coed in R0TC BY CARROLL WILSON Betty Ann Bean, 22, was widowed by war and she even know the circumstances of her husband's death.

Ironically, she also takes a class In the military science department, the same department through which her late husband passed just two years ago. But, she has reasons for enrolling in the military class, which is primarily for mem bers of Reserve Officer Training Corps at WTSU but which is also an elective.

Two of the reasons she terms and the other is just personal preference. "One was because I want to take gym," she said. She has already taken three semesters of gym and needs a fourth semester to complete her gym credits. Military Science is considered a substitute at WT for gym classes. "The other two reasons are sentimental," she said.

"1 thought maybe I an do a little bit where my husband left off. "And the other reason Is that I need to be around people with uniforms and people with the military again so I get bitter some day," she Said. A 1965 graduate of Tascosa High School tn Amarillo, Mrs. Bean decided to take ROTC after talking with one of the military instructors at the university. Her husband, James Dale Bean, an Amarillo High School graduate, was enrolled in ROTC at WTSU and received his commission as a second lieutenant in August of 1967.

He was commissioned in infantry. In October of the same year, he was sent to Ft. Penning, Ga. His wife went with him while he through Ran. er School, She went, too, when he was sent to Colorado Springs, in February of 1968.
