Sauter-Finegan
Will Be Tuesday
Town Hall’s presentation of
the Sauter-Finegan orchestra,
originally scheduled for next
Monday, has been changed to
next Tuesday.
The All-College calendar
shows the orchestra set for
Monday, but it was changed
after the calendar was print
ed, said Bill Johnson, student
entertainment manager.
“are part of our forward-looking,
long-range plans for the college.
The Executive committee of the
council is to be eomplimafftted on its
exhaustive study and fine recom
mendations.”
Here are the changes in detail:
Health Services
The student health services board
will replace the hospital commit
tee, which is composed of five
members of the Academic council
and six students elected by the
Student Senate.
The new board will have broader
functions than the committee,
which was charged only with “ad
vising on operations of the college
hospital.”
The board has been set up to
make recommendations on any
phases of student health, reporting
to the president through the dean
of student personnel services.
The board will be composed of
five faculty members and three
students, all appointed.
Foreign Students Committee
The foreign students committee
will replace the present Latin-
American students committee.
Since an ever-increasing number
of A&M students are from coun-
tiies other than Latin-America, the
Academic council felt that the new
committee would serve the foreign
students better.
It will be composed of faculty
members appointed by the presi
dent. A sub-committee on Latin-
American affairs may be set up,
Morgan said.
The original committee was set
up when almost all of A&M’s for
eign students were from Mexico or
other Latin-American countries.
Now a number of students from
the Far East and other countries
■are among A&M’s 150 foreign stu
dents.
MSC Board
A board of faculty members re
sponsible for the operation of the
MSC has been dissolved.
Under the new setup, the MSC
council, composed of faculty, stu
dents and former students, will
be a standing committee of the
Academic council. It will be re
sponsible for the policies and op
erations of the center.
All fiscal matters of the MSC
will be channeled to the president
through the college business man
ager.
Disciplinary Regulations
The disciplinary code and appeals
part of the college regulations were
clarified to specify acts of mis
conduct and punishments.
The penalties include demerits
and extra duty tours for cadets,
separation from the cadet corps,
and suspension and dismissal from
the college.
The Battalion will carry a full
explanation of the new regulations
next week.

Dorms Choose
Representative s
By JON KINSLOW
Battalion Managing Editor
Heavy voting Thursday for civilian dormitory floor and
ramp representatives marked the first step in the forming
of the newly-created Civilian Student Council, with most dor
mitories reporting more than 50 percent participation in the
election.
Incomplete and unofficial returns received by The Bat*
talion last night from the house masters indicated strong
interest by the civilian students.
By midnight, returns were in from all areas except Mil
ner hall, Walton hall and the project houses. Rain hampered
the election in College View, with only part of the voting
being completed in that area Thursday. Rain ruined some
ballots and voting boxes in^
this area.
Day students will vote on
their representative from 8
a.m. to 5 p.m. today in room
l-H of Puryear hall.
A tie vote in ramps four and
five of Puryear will be settled in
a run-off. Bernard Polzer and
Zach H. Byrnes each received 13
votes in the election.
The number of representatives to
be elected from each area is Biz
zell, 3; Mitchell, 4; Milner, 4; Leg
gett, 4; Walton, 3; Law, 4; Pur
year, 4; College View, 8; project
houses, 1; and day students, 1.
From these representatives will
be chosen 11 members of the Civ
ilian Students Council. Also on
the council will be the three civ
ilian representatives on the Stu
dent Life committee. Dormitory
representatives from the Student
Senate will not be members of the
council, but they may be called to
meet with the council if they are
needed to discuss a particular
problem.
The council will handle problems
arising from the civilian students
if the problems affect all non-
military students. At least two
days before each council meeting,
the floor and ramp representatives
will meet with the dormitory stu
dent senators and house master to
discuss any problems that have
arisen.
If the cadet corps is also con
cerned with any problems brought
before the council, the cadet colon
el will be called in to help study
the problem. If, after the matter
is handled by the council and it
still remains unsettled, it will be
taken to the Student Senate.
House masters reported the fol
lowing unofficial returns to The
Battalion last night:
