the final three games, said Dr. Kemble,
indicates“continued player respect for
the present leadership and a
regeneration of team pride since maid-
season.”
He supports the Board of Regents
view that Coach Frederick and his staff
have learned important lessons this
year and have become a more effective
working unit. The Regents also feel
that Coach Frederick and his coaching
staff are men of strong character who,
although subject to mistakes,are truly
devoted to Lamar, to their players, and
to the concepts of sportsmanship and
athletic competition embraced by this
university.
In addition to holding the head coach
and athletic director responsible for
revitalizing the football program
during the coming year, Dr. Kemble in-
tends to review progress of the
program periodically with them.
He also intends to continue to
scrutinize the entire athletic program,
men’s and women’s, to ensure fully ef-
fective use of Lamar’s finite resources
and to support vigorously the football
effort in every reasonable way without
jeopardizing other important student
programs.
Dr. Kemble intends to cause the
university staff to seek broader means,
both internally and externally, to sup-
port a successful football program.
“I do not intend to raise false hopes,
nor to dream impossible dreams. As I
said publicly once before, that is not my
style,” said Dr. Kemble. "Nor do I
think great fanfare is the answer. We
will apply a hard-headed management
approach to this situation to see what
can be accomplished. Money is im-
portant - but leadership is the key.”
Coach Frederick thanked Dr. Kemble
for his support and took responsibility
for what has happened in the past two
seasons. He admitted making mistakes
in several areas including staffing,
organization, planning and the proper
utilization of resources and players, as
well as his relationship with the
program’s many constituencies...such
as the student body, faculty, fans, Car-
dinal Club, administration, Regents
and the news media.
Thanking Dr. Kemble and the Regen-
ts for the opportunity to see the
program through its third season,
Coach Frederick promised they would
not regret the decision and accepted the
challenge with confidence that there
would-be substantial improvement in
the football program by this time next
year.

Kemble to approve the building for the
psychology department’s use,” said
Weaver.
Dr. Jim Esser, an assistant professor
of and publicity committee head for the
psychology department, voiced his ap-
proval of the move.
“I think it’s great. All of our classes
take up about one fourth of the Physics
Building. This really makes it kind of
cramped because we’ve actually been
outgrowing our present facilities.”
Dr. Esser noted it was so crowded
that one of the duplicating machines
has to be kept in the closet due to lack of
space. At present, the Psychology
Department has just one full-time
classroom and two small seminar
rooms.
In pointing out some of the pluses of
the move, Dr. Esser said they would be
able to have all of their classes and
adequate research facilities (including
25 extra "experimental or research
cubicles”) in one building.
“This will also be helpful to our
graduate program, said Dr. Esser.
“We’ve barely had enough facilities for
our undergraduates, much less the
graduate students.” The graduate
program, which began in 1974, now in-
cludes 75 students who are working on
their Master’s Degree.

proposal, Krueger said the federal
government would have the power to
allocate natural gas fpom energy-rich
states to states which have an energy
shortage. “It doesn’t seem to me fair,”
he said, “to take from us the source of
our jobs.” Krueger said that America,
which uses one third of the world’s
energy and produces one third of the
world’s gross national product, “must
find a way to increase its economy
without increasing its energy use
proportionately. ”
Solar energy and windmills are
popular alternatives to the oil and gas
shortage, he said, and the country will
see an increase in their use. But he ad-
ded that these forms of energy will
probably remain only auxiliary forms
of power.
before the conference committee bet-
ween the House and the Senate, he said.
Krueger felt President Carter has
reversed his stand on federal regulation
of energy, and now favors more govern-
ment influence in energy matters. “I
was for the original Carter position in-
stead of the new Carter position,”
Krueger said.
"Energy tends to be discussed
emotionally, in demagogic terms, with
charges and counter-charges,” he
said. He added that all gas that the
United States fails to find will 'be
replaced with more expensive foreign
gas and oil.
Dinner planned
for D. DeMent
Conservation and insulation will be
the key to the energy problem, Krueger
felt, and architecture will reflect this.
Europe, he said, has already developed
cars which use less gas, because gas is
three times higher in Europe than it is
in the United States.
President Carter’s major concern is
the national energy policy, said
Krueger, and, in the House, the bill has
been divided among various sub-
committees for deliberation. Krueger'
serves on the Energy and Power Sub-
committee, which is part of the Com-
merce Committee.
The Krueger-supported bill for less
government regulation of natural gas
passed in the sub-committee, but lost in
the committee vote. The bill is now
