There were two abstentions. The Senate decision came on the heels of nearly two hours of heat ed discussion on the proposed -hange, which is now being stud- \ by the College Name-Change /mmittee. President Earl Rudder had asked ^tudent Senate President Roland /Dommert to probe the Senate for j views of the student body, with the result being last night’s de cision. The group also chose to draw up both majority and minority re ports on the discussion for Dom- tnert’s use on the committee. Dun In January These reports are due to be fin ished by the first week of Jan uary, when the next meeting of the Name-Change Committee is scheduled. Bob Bower, Frank McFarland and Mike Schneider will write the majority report, while John Ab bott, Brantley Laycock and Clay ton LaGrone will work on the mi nority report. President Earl Rudder has also asked for opinion reports from Cadet Col. of the Corps Syd Hea ton and Civilian Student Council President Mike Carlo. These opinions, like the Student Senate decision, are due at the January meeting of the Name-Change Committee. Arguments raged hot and heavy for both sides of the question, with emphasis showing at least 75 per cent of the Corps of Cadets seemed to favor leaving the name as it is. Good Reputation Probably the most frequent ar gument used state A&M already has a good reputation in the south and southwest and a change in the name will have no real signifi cance. The main argument for a change in the name of the school was based on the fact the college is no longer a college and the words “Agricultural and Mechanical” are no longer appropriate. It was also proposed that no name could perfectly depict the school, but something could do a better job than Texas A&M. By far the most popular com promise listed involved the pres ent name system used at Harvard. There the graduate school is a university and the under-graduate school is a college. Those in favor of this system proposed the name of the A&M System include the word univer sity and the name of the college remain the same. The Senate members were also unanimously against the “Texas State University.” name By JOE CALLICOATTE With only two seconds left in an overtime, Oklahoma State University’s David Mil- out and came onto the floor again ler unleashed a 20-foot set shot to hand the A&M Cadets a 60-58 defeat last night in the opening game of the Blue- game, bonnet Bowl Here’s What Happened A&M took four time outs dur- x x ing the last five minutes, but still From the opening minute of play couldn’t muster any scoring punch.

Drive Chairman Clayton La Grone said at 4 p.m. the total sub mitted to him was only $293.16. This _ total was submitted a day after the official deadline. Another discouraging aspect, LaGrone added, was the fact 25 Cadet Corps units still had not re ported at all. He added less than half the civilian reports had also been submitted. The goal for the two-day drive, conducted Tuesday and Wednes day nights in college dormitories and all week through receptacles on campus, was $3,000. LaGrone even said officials are considering holding another drive sometime during the second se mester. The chairman admitted the date for this year’s drive was poor. bassa, president; Mike C.
