Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Arlington State and Texas Woman’s University compose a minority in Texas when it comes to political clubs recognized on campus. Of 22 four year state-supported colleges and universities, including Pan American and Angelo State, only these four do not sanction political clubs. The remaining 18 recognize from one to five clubs each. Schools that recognize or would recognize political clubs are Prairie View A&M College, North Texas State University, Lamar State College of Technology, University of Houston, East Texas State College, Sam Houston State Teachers College, Pan American College, Southwest Texas State College, West Texas State University, Stephen F. Austin State College, Sul Ross State College, Texas College of Arts and Industries, Midwestern University, Texas Western College, Tarleton State College, Texas Southern University, Angelo State State College and University of Texas. Prairie View A&M does not have clubs, but Dean of Students T. R. Solomon has said that the clubs would be recognized if a constitution and sponsor were approved. Pan American College, East Texas State College, Angelo State College are in a state of transition concerning clubs. Under a ruling for teachers colleges, they can have clubs but applications have not been received for recognition. Texas A&I, Tarleton State, Texas Western, University of Texas, Sul Ross, Stephen F. Austin, West Texas State, Southwest Texas State, Sam Houston State, Lamar State and North Texas State all have Young Republican and Young Democrats. The University of Houston list the Political Science Club, Young Republicans, Young Democrats, Student Peace Unions, and Young Americans for Freedom. Dean of Student Life James G. Allen at Texas Tech said there have been attempts to form clubs but a policy formed several years ago by the Committee on Student Organizations determined that the students had opportunity of participating in political organizations in the community. « Dean Allen said, “We need not afford them this opportunity on campus, in light of the fact that there would be some political identification which we would not wish to approve because of their vulnerability to influences by subversive agencies.” Tech does have a study club called the Pre-Law Club which serves as a political organization without partism. The Academic Council of Arlington State College ruled that political clubs would be authorized as student organizations in view of the state statutes and rules of the governing board, President J. R. Woolf said. Woolf said that this interpretation does not prohibit political science organizations interested in all political issues but which would not be aligned with any specific political party. Librarians Attend Data Process Meet The program to use electronic data processing techniques in the A&M Library System passed an other milestone Friday as the staff attended its first seminar on data processing, Driector Robert A. Houze announced. Officials earlier announced an ambitious program for utilizing data processing techniques. “The semniar Friday was the first of a projected series to be held at regular intervals to ac quaint the library staff with some of the problems involved and philo sophies of applying data process ing techniques to library opera tions,” Houze said. The speaker was Robert Ander son, library specialist in the Hous ton offices of the IBM Corpora tion. Such basic matters as “What is an IBM punched card? and “What do the holes mean and how are they used?” were covered in the introductory session. Che Battalion Volume 61 COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1964 Number 98 Additional Parking Space Planned On West Side Satan’s Death To Be Acted Monday Night Satan is scheduled to die six times beginning Monday as the Ag gie Players’ production of “The Death of Satan,” by Ronald Dun can opens at 8 p.m. at Guion Hall. The cast will complete rehearsals with a full-dress run-through Sun day. C. K. Esten, director of the play, said the play is believed to be new to this country, although it has been done very successfully in England. “If it has been produced any where in this country, we haven’t been able to find out about it,” he said. Esten and production assistant Bob Wenck were scheduled to ap- BULLETIN The admission price for the Aggie Players’ “The Death of Satan” is 75 cents rather than $1 as announced, Director C. K. Esten said Friday. SOMEBODY SAY SOMETHING Players step up preparations for opening night. pear on KBTX-TV’s “Town Talk” with Billie Jean Barron Friday and Monday 11:30-12:00 to discuss the play. “The Death of Satan,” the Play ers’ first production of the year, will be followed by “The Glass Menagerie,” by Tennessee Wil liams, in January. Rehearsals for “Menagerie” begin immediately after “Satan” closes. Terry Mayfield, president of the Players, plays Satan. Clarence Franks portrays Don Juan, and his servant, Catalion, is Jim White. Three writers who play cards in Hell, Oscar Wilde, Lord Byron, and Bernard Shaw, are played by Vic Wiening, Richard Jenkins, and Harry Gooding. John Brooks is a bishop who kibitzes their game. Engineering Honor Society Adds 34 Juniors, Seniors Thirty-four new members have been admitted into Tau Beta Pi, honor engineering society. To become a member, one must have an outstanding scholastic rec ord and unquestionable character, said David Clifton, club president, in announcing the new members Thursday. Four first semester juniors have been selected. These members must have at least a 2.75 grade point ratio. Those named were Ronny J. Chauviere, Waco, mechan ical engineering; William E. Gal loway, Falls Church, Va., geology; Pitt Pittman, Overton, and Charles E. Simpson, La Marque, both elec trical engineering majors. Three second term juniors have been named. To be selected the member must have at least a 2.25 grade point ratio. They are Charles H. Brewster, Midland, industrial engineering; Howard S. Conner, El Paso, and Jerry L. Haluska, both chemical engineering majors. Twenty-seven seniors have been selected with grade point ratios of Ag Dates May Use Dorms By MIKE REYNOLDS Day News Editor A committee was appointed by the Student Senate Thursday night to study the problems concerning opening one of the vacant dorms on campus and allowing Aggies’ dates to use it for a small fee. Frank Muller said that the pur- National Merit Aid Is Sought By A&M A&M might join colleges offer ing National Merit Scholarships, announced Dean of Instruction W. J.

The appointments by Paul R. Oliver, president of the Civilian Student Council, and Neil L. Kelt- Aer, Cadet Colonel of the Corps, were confirmed by Dean of Stu dents James P. Hannigan. “Strict enforcement by the stu dents of their own high standards of honor has helped immeasurably through the years,” Hannigan said. Composing the Civilian Honor [Council are Jack E. Singley, Her bert A. Perkins, Cliff A. Harris, Howard M. Head and Daniel R. Krieg. Appointed to the Cadet Honor Council are Fred L. McGinn, Wil liam R. Buckellew, John Davis Gay, Neil L. Keltner, Carey Lee White, Frank W. Cox, James E. Bourgeois and Clifton A. Emer- I son. sponsor two Natoinal Merit Scho larships,” Graff said. “By doing this, A&M will be joining about 42 other colleges and universities which offer about 250 such scho larships.” Seven National Merit Scholars of earlier years now study at A&M with scholarships awarded by other organizations. The Natoinal Merit Scholarship Nineth program this past academic year, resulted in the naming of 13,000 finalists representing about one-half of one per cent of the high school senior class. But be cause of limited funds only 1,650 received National Merit Scholar ships. National Merit winners study ing at A&M are James Kenneth Atkins, senior from Houston, ma joring in chemical engineering; Glenn Curtis Graham, sophomore from Houston majoring in aero space engineering; Larry Gordon Lippem freshman from Lockhart majoring in aerospace engineering; Billy H. Young, freshman from Port O’Connor majoring in meteo rology; Robert Austin Frye, fresh man from San Antonio majoring in aerospace engineering; Edward Davis Chauviere, sophomore from Waco majoring in architecture and O’Rell O. McDaniel, from Yuma, Arizona. pose of the action was to provide cheap housing near campus for dates and thus improve the social atmosphere of the school. “At the same time we need a safe place with possibly a group of married students wives to over see the girls conduct and act as temporary house mothers,” said Muller. “The boys, of course, would have to furnish linens, light bulbs and towels for the girls, but this would be better than having to pay high er prices off campus,” he added. Dean of Students James P. Han nigan offered his approval. “I think that this is a very good idea and there is a good possibility of being able to do it, Hannigan said. “Of course the local hotel and motel owners will probably blast us quite heavily for the action,” Hannigan continued. The dean said that the action would probably rest with the Executive Committee. He also added that he would have the oportunity to speak to Presi dent Earl Rudder and some of the other men concerned and put in a good word for the project. “I can see no inconvenience in the whole plan for the administra tion,” concluded Hannigan. Don Warren, YMCA representa tive, said that he and his commit tee would probably not get roll ing until the first of next week, but that their first target would Hargrove Elected To Junior Post Tom Hargrove from Rotan was elected vice president of the Junior Class in a special election Thurs day.

Dormitory 12, and Mitchell and Milner are vacant at this time. “We do not have plans that in clude the long-range vacancy of any dorms or buildings on the cam pus,” said Hannigan. “Our target date will probably be to open them to the students dates by the first of next semes ter,” said Warren. Other business included the an- Apollo Club Discusses Space Age The space age was the topic Thursday night at the last meeting of the Apollo Club for the semester. Dr. Richard Wainerdi, associate dean of engineering, spoke saying “The space age has developed in the last five years.” Before that he said it was known as the atomic age. The associate dean said that only one thing has happened in the past 25 years that changed the out look tremendously. He said this was the bomb . Wainerdi said that the space age gives a chance for human expan sion of philosophies. He said, “Even though we are an isolated group, SCONA will bring people here who will have predetermined ideas of the school.” He said that this op portunity will give us a chance to expand horizons. The speaker said that $10 bil lion will be spent to find out what the moon is made of. In picturing the amount, he said “The money used to find what the moon is made of would double the physical plants of all colleges in the United States.” nouncement that Muller, president of student body, will kiss the Ag gies’ Sweetheart at the halftime cermony of the SMU game in Dal las this weekend. This duty formerly fell to the Corps Commander but action by the civilians indicated that they felt that this was a slap in the face to the non-reg part of the students. The date for the Aggie Blood Drive was tentitively set for April 7 and 8. at last 2.00. Those named are Rich ard M. Alexander, Ft. Worth; James H. Armstrong, Weatherford; Charles L.

New Facilities Will Handle 2,000 Cars Parking- space to accomo date 10,000 cars on campus is expected within two years, Dean of Students James P. Hannigan said. Statistics show paved and grav eled parking areas for approxi mately 7,000 cars are provided on campus. Most of the added parking space will be on the west perimeter of the campus, Hannigan explained. Land for the new parking area will extend from the cloverleaf underpass - overpass to be con structed at the intersection of FM- 60 and FM-2154 south past Kyle Field. “We plan to pave a long strip there to provide parking for stu dents in the new dormitory area and for football fans closer to Kyle Field,’ Hannigan said. “When this work is completed —and it may take a year and a half—we will have additional park ing space for about 2,000 cars.” he added. Hannigan pointed out that A&M owns the land where the east section of railroad tracks are to be removed. “This land will revert to A&M when the railroads switch to joint use of the west track,” Hannigan said. The dean said the old railroad station in the area will be removed in order that parking space may be provided there. He said a “huge chunk” of land will be available in the area immediately west of Klye Field, primarily because of the way the railroad tracks curve at that juncture. Some delay is starting the pav ing project is expected because the railroads will no doubt use the east track while the west grade is being built higher for the approach to the overpass. The east tracks will have to be re moved before the university can advance with the paving project. Hannigan said long range plans call for divided highways to sur round the campus, thus aiding flow of traffic. “We are fighting against having an asphalt and concrete campus,” Hannigan commented, adding that installation of parking lots along the railroad will allow A&M to retain several recreational areas just across the street on the cam pus. He said the areas were ear marked for parking lots until the railroads decided to join in using a single track.
