Dockery’s statement climaxed a chain of events that included defacing of the Military Science Build- ing Annex, hanging of a coed in effigy and a pro- posed protest march on President Rudder’s home. “The charges made against me that I used profane, obscene or vulgar language in the presence of a woman are completely false. She reported things in a completely different manner from the way they were said in class. I have never said anything profane, vulgar or obscene in her presence in my life,” Dockery asserted. The Kirbyville junior was discharged from the Corps Tuesday by Col. D. L. Baker for conduct unbecoming a cadet. The dismissal followed a protest over his classroom language by Paul D. Mauldin, a graduate student. Obscenity Claimed In a written protest Mauldin complained that Dockery used obscene and vulgar speech this semester in an economics class of which his wife is a member. He further stated that Dockery’s general conduct was “embarrassing to my wife” and also cited specific incidents to validate his claims. A protest lodged by Douglas P. Maddox, a senior, also substantiated Mauldin’s complaint. Maddox said that his wife was enrolled in a psychology class last year with Dockery and that she was also subjected to his obscene language. Protest Incidents Occur An effigy of a coed was discovered hanging from the south wall of the Academic Building Wednesday' morning. The effigy carried an inscrip- tion which read: “Being a Maggie isn’t like being a Quaker; Sometimes they even write to Baker . . . She’s not wanted by me or you; Why don’t Baker get rid of her, too?” The north wall of the Military Science Building Annex was also painted with the words “Tool Shed” sometime Tuesday night. A proposed march on President Rudder’s home by a group of juniors did not develop Tuesday night. Corps Juniors Meet In an unprecedented move Wednesday Col. Baker called a meeting of junior Corps leaders to brief them on the Dockery incident. He remarked that this was the first time he had seen fit to discuss disciplinary action taken against a cadet with his associates. “It’s not my purpose to ruin a cadet. I’m just going to tell you the entire story and see what the Cadet Corps wants to do about it,” Baker explained. He then outlined Dockery’s previous record and revealed that disciplinary action against him was averted last year because he had been elected a yell leader and such action might have cast doubts on the validity of the election. He also read portions of the two letters accusing Dockery of alleged misconduct. Baker explained that Dockery was a Drill and Ceremonies cadet not under an Army ROTC contract and was permitted to remain in the Corps as long as he was an asset and contributed to it. He then claimed that Dockery’s actions had done discredit to the Corps and were grounds for dismissal. Dockery Defends Dockery contended late Wednesday that he had not been able to defend himself against the accusa- tions. “Col. Baker told me that I had been accused of using obscene language in class. He told me I was not an attribute to the Corps and he was revoking my Drill and Ceremonies status. I don’t believe that I was given a chance to explain fully or to defend myself,” he said. Both men who registered complaints emphasized they did not ask that he be removed from the Corps. “I felt a situation existed that was not normal and which needed correction. I reported the situ- ation to the proper authorities and asked that it be rectified. Any action they took was strictly their business and not my responsibility,” Mauldin noted. “My statement was merely a verification of Mr. Mauldin’s statement,” Maddox said. Seeks Reinstatement Dockery indicated that he would do “everything in his power” to attempt to be reinstated in the Corps. “Several people have told me they will testify that I have never said anything vulgar, profane or obscene in class or in the presence of Mrs. Mauldin. I’ve also talked to several seniors in my dorm who have said they will attest to my good conduct in the Corps this year,” he said. “Last year I had some trouble with superiors, but this year I’ve done everything expected of me in the Corps. There is no legitimate reason why I should be kicked out,” Dockery contended. The World at a Glance By The Associated Press International BEIRUT, Lebanon — President Habib Bourguiba of Tunisia said today he had information that West Germany would not recognize Israel because Bonn ‘‘is not ready to accept Israel’s conditions.” Bourguiba said Israel demanded a resumption of arms shipments to Israel and postponement of the effective date of the statute of limitations on Nazi war murderers.

Cadet Corps Drops Dockery From Ranks
By TOMMY DeFRANK Staff Writer
Junior Yell Leader Rodney Dockery questioned Wednesday the accuracy of complaints against his classroom behavior that resulted in his dismissal from the Corps of Cadets.
Dockery’s statement climaxed a chain of events that included defacing of the Military Science Building Annex, hanging of a coed in effigy and a proposed protest march on President Rudder’s home.
“The charges made against me that I used profane, obscene or vulgar language in the presence of a woman are completely false. She reported things in a completely different manner from the way they were said in class. I have never said anything profane, vulgar or obscene in her presence in my life,” Dockery asserted.
The Kirbyville junior was discharged from the Corps Tuesday by Col. D. L. Baker for conduct unbecoming a cadet. The dismissal followed a protest over his classroom language by Paul D. Mauldin, a graduate student.
Obscenity ClaimedIn a written protest Mauldin complained that
Dockery used obscene and vulgar speech this semester in an economics class of which his wife is a member. He further stated that Dockery’s general conduct was “embarrassing to my wife” and also cited specific incidents to validate his claims.
A protest lodged by Douglas P. Maddox, a senior, also substantiated Mauldin’s complaint. Maddox said that his wife was enrolled in a psychology class last year with Dockery and that she was also subjected to his obscene language.

from the south wall of the Academic Building Wednesday' morning. The effigy carried an inscription which read:
“Being a Maggie isn’t like being a Quaker;Sometimes they even write to Baker . . .She’s not wanted by me or you;Why don’t Baker get rid of her, too?”

A proposed march on President Rudder’s home by a group of juniors did not develop Tuesday night.
