he Student Senate twice voted
m proposals for amendments to
Insfer powers presently in the
ids of the Academic Council to
President’s Office in action
It night. Discussion of amend-
ints among- senators called forth
tory and applied logic on both
les before the questions were
eated.
e powers in question concern
ification of the Senate’s con-
tion and amendments to the
stitution. At present the Aca-
lic Council acts on such changes.
The issues committee, chaired by
Doug Hotchkiss, proposed the
transfer of power.
“THE COMMITTEE feels that
this will expedite action on pro
posals,” said John Tibbels, repre
senting the Issues Committee dur
ing the session.
Howard Head, Memorial Student
Center Council representative,
pointed out during discussion that
action taken by the Senate last
spring is presently held up in the
office of President Rudder, and not
in the Academic Council.
James P. Hannigan, dean of
students, explained:

THE SECOND presentation by
Town Flail will be the Leonard
Bernstein Gala which will be held
Tuesday at 8 p.m. in the G. Rollie

“It is President Rudder’s duty
to make up the agenda for Aca
demic Council meetings.”
SENATORS in favor of the pro
posals argued that the Senate is
one of few organizations on
campus that still provides for rati
fication by the Academic Council.
James Carter, Senate parlia
mentarian, said amendments now
have to be ratified tw-ice; once by
President Rudder and then by the
Academic Council. He expressed
the opinion the process would be
speeded up if only the president
had to act on Senate proposals. >
Opponents of the amendments
urged that powers should be left
in the hands of the Academic
Council because while they are
primarily concerned with the
academic life of the student, the
Council should have an insight of
the workings of the student gov
ernment.
Opposition also pointed out that
legislation was seldom delayed by
the Academic Council after it was
placed on its agenda.
IN OTHER business at the regu
lar meeting Jerry Vion, chairman
of the student life committee, re
ported that his committee had met
and studied procedures for the
selection of the Aggie Sweetheart.
Vion said the Magna Carta had
been examined and that further-
analysis would be made' at meeting
to be held Wednesday.
The study of the selection
system was prompted by a joint
meeting between A&M and Texas
Woman’s University representa
tives Oct. 20.
It was revealed in the meeting
that polls at both schools have
shown dissatisfaction with the
present selection method.
As a special guest to the meet
ing, Dr. Dan Russell, professor of
sociology, introduced Paul Daly,
Peace Corps representative from
Washington, on campus until next
Tuesday. Daly spoke to the Senate
on the goals of the Corps and the
opportunities it offered.

The candidates for Texas gover-
»r are trying to impress voters
ith the importance of voting
«esday.
Republican Jack Cox said in
orger that Texas voters are see-
£ “a pitiful display of despera-
M of defeat” by his Democrat
•ponent John Connally.
Thursday night Cox was in
Dallas for a state-wide 30-minute
ievision talk.
Connally spoke at a rally in San
Antonio.
Connally started a new club
after reaching the San Antonio
airport. Calling it the “Connally
48 Club,” special souvenir member
ship cards were given out to the
audience.
In his Borger luncheon talk, Cox
said, “John Connally, in his be
wilderment, has thrown all caution
to the winds.”
HE SAID he felt safe in predict
ing that “we will not hear even
one really constructive idea from
Think You ’ll Graduate?
You Might Not Make It
Key advice from Luther A Har-
®°n, assistant registrar, is for
^graduates to review their ac-
«mic records before registering
0r their final semester.
Students with hopes of gradu-
in May should visit the reg-
•kar’s office in November or
Member, he said.
The review of a student’s re-
Td during this period allows
a to make any necessary ad-
^tments,” Harrison said. Then
J'anges can be made in time for
Wing semester, he added.
Students normally jam the reg-
^ar’s office between the first day
of registration and the deadline
for adding or dropping courses, he
said.
Earlier visits allow more time for
individual conferences and also
may save considerable time for the
student, Hai-rison commented.
He said the office routinely pre
pares worksheets on each advanc
ed student’s academic record and
compares this with degree require
ments as outlined in the catalogue.
Harrison said this is done as early
as possible and a student is advis
ed if he apparently has overlooked
a degree requirement.

“If we get a strong Democratic
vote, Connally and the Democratic
ticket will win the election by a
decisive margin,” Connally said.
“I wish it were possible to stop
at every airport in Texas, but that
is physically impossible. There
will be a stop near every voter,
however, and I hope to see a great
many of them during the course
of the tour.”

A&M students and Bryan- Col
lege Station residents will be of
fered Sabin Type II oral polio vac
cine Sunday on the campus and in
the area public schools from 1-5
p.m.
A station will be set up in the
front lobby of the G. Rollie White
Coliseum for the convenience of
students.
“But,” Dr. Charles R. Lyons, di
rector of student health services,
stressed, “all stations will be open
to everyone who wishes to be im
munized.”
FRESHMEN and all future stu
dents are required by the college
to have either Salk or Sabin im
munization.
Students under 21 years of age
will not be required to have writ
ten permission from their par
ents to receive vaccine Sunday.
Dr. Lyons said each person im
munized will receive a slip of
paper which states he has taken
Type II oral vaccine. The slips
may be given to the person’s phy
sician or to the college health clinic
to keep in a permanent health re
cord.
“If it has been less than six
weeks since a person has taken
| Type I, I don’t reccommend his tak-
| ing Type II,” Dr. Lyons said.
I He explained that when the two
1 vaccines are taken without observ
ing the six-week period, assurance
of immunization may be reduced
owing to an “antagonistic effect”
between the two drugs.
THE DOCTOR added that tak
ing Type III does not require a
waiting period before taking Type
II. These two drugs, sometimes
mixed together for one dose, will
not nullify each other. Although
it has been offered elsewhere, Type
III has not as yet been made avail
able in Brazos County.
Sunday’s immunization will be
administratered by placing vac
cine on sugar cubes which are then
swallowed. However, anyone may
request that the tasteless droplets
be placed directly in their mouth.
Dr. Lyons said that the Junior
Chamber of Commerce has gua
ranteed payment for all vaccines
used Sunday. For this reason, vol
untary contribution of 25 cents or
more are requested. If not enough
money is collected, the Jaycees will
be billed for the deficit.
Health officials recommend that
persons take Sabin vaccine for
added immunity even though they
may have already received Salk
vaccine, the physician said.
