March 22 & 23 8:00pm. Admission $1. 00 By KEVIN COFFEY, Sports Editor Stashed among some trees just off Joe Routt Blvd. between G. Rollie White Coliseum and DeWare Field House stands an obscure building. I guess that’s only fitting because since December this 60 foot square shack has housed one of the most obscure and misunderstood organizations on campus. The Aggie Club. The Aggie Club is opening its doors to the students of this University for the first time in an effort to educate itself out of obscurity. Starting with the slogan “12.00 FROM A 12th MAN” and enlisting the services of Joe Arciniega, the Aggie Club is opening a student membership drive. Executive Vice President John Hopkins said his organization will not make any money from the student program but that education and fun was the main purpose of the drive. “This will give interested students another avenue of expressing their support for Aggie athletic teams,” said Hopkins. “We also want to sponsor bus trips to add further support for road contests. We hope these are fun for the students.” The Aggie Club does indeed have an identity problem. Many people confuse fund raising activities with those of the Association of Former Students. There is one big difference, the Aggie Club gives all of its money to the athletic department, the Former Students gives all its money for academics. “People don’t really know who we are or what we do,” said Hopkins. “We want to educate students so when they leave here they will at least know we exist.” Arciniega, probably the most widely known and popular athlete on campus, is making speeches on the new program all week. “We want students to get to know athletes as people and not just numbers,” said Arciniega. “I didn’t know many students, just a couple of close friends. I hope this program brings everybody closer together.” Plans call for trips to the Saturday baseball doubleheader with Texas, a bus to LSU next football season along with a student-athlete bar-b-que. Press guides and regular sports news letters will also be sent to members as well as a framed membership certificate and club decal. Membership is open to any currently enrolled student at A&M. The nine month membership is $12 with those joining this spring reaping the benefits all next year also. Graduating seniors are invited to look into one of the other Aggie club programs. Next Tuesday the club will have an open house from 1-4 p.m. in that obscure little office near Jolly Rollie. With a goal of doubling their annual $250,000 donation by 1977, the club needs your support. Go by and talk to them and have a coke on the house.

HOUSTON The pitching of Bill Sherman and the hitting of Bill Goss carried the Baylor Bears to a Southwest Conference baseball doubleheader victory over the University of Houston Tues day, 8-0 and 4-2.

By TONY GALLUCCI Staff Sports Writer After a disappointing defeat at the hands of the University of Tennessee Sunday in Austin, the A&M tennis team gained winning form here yesterday to down 10th- ranked Columbia University 6-3. Dan Courson was defeated for the first time in dual match sin gles competition this season in UTenn’s 5-4 win over the Ag gies. Courson clenched the tie breaker in the first set against Columbia’s Von Molin with a service ace and a slam behind Molin’s back. Courson, revitalized, went on to down Molin in the second set 6-2. Columbia’s second and fourth- seeded players returned to New York for exams forcing them to forfeit the number six singles match and the number three dou bles bout, A&M started the match ahead by two, but the Ags played as though the lead never existed in taking three singles and split ting the doubles to win 4-3 in the matches played. Bill Wright was topped by CU’s All-America Henry Bunis, 6-3, 7-5. Wright had trouble with first serves and was hitting into the net and was gaining speed in the second set when Bunis broke serve after a five-all tie. Bill Hoover had his problems overhitting and missing serves on the way to a 6-2, 6-4 loss to CU’s Ken Brightfield. A&M’s Charles Emley, over coming a recent slump, smashed Tom Dughi, 6-1, 6-2. In the number five match Ag gie John Kirwan came on strong to defeat Joe Hobel, 6-2, 6-4. Courson and Hoover staged a great rally in the number one doubles match to defeat Colum bia’s top doubles team of Bunis and Brightfield 6-2, 6-7, 7-6. Courson and Hoover played bril liant cross-court tennis to win easily in the first set. The Ags broke service early in the second set to lead 2-0 before CU battled back boosted by the strong serve of Bunis. The set ended with a tiebreaker in which the Aggies looked strong but CU hung in there and forced a double fault to win. Courson and Hoover failed to click early in the third set and appeared headed for defeat when Colombia took the lead 5-3. But the team couldn’t be forced out as they faced match point twice and surg ed to take the tie-breaker. Coach Omar Smith was elated over the win although he “really wanted to win the number two doubles.” Mark Silberman and Emley lost the second doubles to Molin and Dughi in two tie-breakers, 7-6, 7-6. The Aggies are currently un ranked due to the NCAA ranking system. This year’s teams are ranked in the order of their fin ish at last years NCAA tourna ment. A&M did not compete in last year’s tourney.
