The department is currently undo the Department of Health and Physical Education. The finance committee ques tioned the funding of an academic department through student service fees. Morrison said about $286,000 of the intramural budget is from stu dent! service fees, while less than $23,000 is from the academic de- ffiranent. He said the department should be put where the funding is in the student services office. In an external affairs committee report, Cheryl Swanzy, freshman senator, urged senators to write to state Sen. Bill Moore, D-Bryan, re questing the defeat of two senate billsme presently supports. One bill would raise graduate and foreign student tuition and the other would raise all in-state tuition from $4 to $6 r , peMiredit hour, and the minimum (JlNfrom ^50 to $80. Moore co-sponsors the first bill with Roy Blake, D-Nacogdoches, and Sen. Betty An- dujar, R-Ft. Worth, introduced the latte|r bill. g The senate passed an emergency bill giving $900 to the election com mission for additional costs of stu dent elections. The senate also heard a bill requesting that final exams count no more than 30 percent of the student’s final grade. The bill will be n side red in committee. The KAMU-FM goal of $29,500 seems a lot more attainable after the fund-raising festival, says KAMU’s fund raiser Jean Herbert- Wiesenburg. The two-week festival, which began March 3, ended last Sunday. It brought in $10,430. The money came from 413 pledges that local viewers gave supporting either the University’s public television and KAMU-TVor KAMU-FM’ radio sta tions. “This event has been most suc cessful. We have never brought in this type of response before. We are very appreciative,” Wiesenburg said. The festival was a Public Broad casting System fund-raising drive. The PBS is a national broadcasting system which was planned to raise $16 million. As of Tuesday, PBS had well over $15 million. “We are so grateful, since we were only expecting to raise $2,500 during the festival,” Wiesenburg said. During last weekend, KAMU re ceived $4,071 in pledges. That weekend was special since it was the PBS non-stop 28-hour marathon. It featured live and prerecorded ap peals from the Bryan-College Station area between special programming. The programs included an evening- long salute to American popular music hosted by Tony Bennett and movie musicals such as “Singing In the Rain.” The two weeks of special pro gramming was aimed at creating greater interest and support for local pubic television, Wiesenburg said. Both the radio and television sta tions have goals to reach by Aug. 1, but only the radio station has been able to set a goal. The television station cannot set a goal since it will receive $1 from PBS for every $2.50 it receives from do nations to the station. The total money received by August might be enough to allow the station not to raise any money over that amount. The amount raised before the fes tival is about $22,000, still about $8,000 short of the rddio station’s $29,500 goal. The breakdown on the money given to KAMU’s radio or television station from the festival still has not been totaled. The next fund raising event will be Sunday at 2 p.m. in Rudder Exhibi tion Hall. It will be KAMU’s Pre- aucion Showing of arts and antiques, open to the public. These are some of the major items of the auction to be held in April. These items, that were donated by area merchants, are val ued from $2 to $500. The KAMU-TV Auction will begin April 1 and feature three nights of prime time TV on KAMU displaying merchandise to be auctioned off. Viewers watching will phone in their bid on an item. The highest bidder will be notified by KAMU so he can pay for the item and pick it up at an auction delivery point. The proceeds from the auction will also go to KAMU’s radio goal. “The auction won’t be the last fund raising project for the radio, but hopefully it will bring (us) even close to (our) goal,” Wiesenburg said. Daydreaming, clammy hands signs of love United Press International UNIVERSITY, Ala.- Lovesick ness is a misnomer, says an thropologist William Dressier. More often than not, being in love im proves personal health, he says. Dressier, an assistant professor of behavioral sciences at the University of Alabama, adds that some common symptoms of being in love are day dreaming, increased blood pressure and heart rate, stomach “but terflies,” clammy hands and blush ing — most resulting from an in crease in hormones such as adrena lin.
