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: Vo Musicals Set own Hall Scene own Hall will present two sical programs within the next days as their 1962-63 season is into full swing, rhe first presentation will be Schory’s Percussion Pops chestra.

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. TATE CAMPAIGN WRAP-UP Candidates As Claims, Hustling Charges Votes Fly By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 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.

Type II Sabin Oral Vaccine Drive On Campus Sunday him in the few remaining' days before election.” “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.” Connally is flying to 31 Texas cities in a 48-hour period which started Thursday night.

By KENT JOHNSTON Battalion Staff Writer 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.
