AAUP Endorses
Student Freedom
The Texas A&M chapter of the
American Association of Uni
versity Professors endorsed Wed
nesday a proposed national policy
statement upholding essentials of
student academic freedom on uni
versity campuses.
The statement, to be presented
for adoption at the national
AAUP meeting next month, de-
New Parking Plan
Slated Next Fall
A projected enrollment of
11,000 students next fall will find
designated automobile parking
areas.
Thirty-four existing parking
lots on the campus will be marked
at entranceways with signs de
noting usage by dormitory stu
dents, day students or faculty-
staff, revealed Campus Security
Chief Ed Powell.
“Cars will not be assigned to
one lot,” he noted. “For instance,
day students may park in any of
six day student lots.”
Campus police maintain order
among an average of 8,000 stu
dent and faculty autos driven and
parked at A&M daily. In addi
tion, Powell’s staff controls
vehicular movements of an aver
age 3,500 visitors a month, not
including persons attending ath
letic, social or special events such
as Aggie Player productions.
An additional large lot will be

fines AAUP guidelines concern
ing student records, student or
ganizations, student publications,
off-campus freedom and proced
ural standards in disciplinary
proceedings.
Dr. John Treacy, associate
professor of economics and chap
ter president, said if the state
ment were adopted at the national
meeting the local chapter would
work for its acceptance at Texas
A&M.
“For this instittuion to accept
this would require some far-
reaching changes regarding pres
ent handling of student stan-
duards,” Treacy noted.
The preamble of the academic
freedom document states that
“free inquiry and free expression
are essential attributes of the
community of scholars.”
“As members of that commun
ity . . . students should be en
couraged to develop the capacity
for critical judgment and to en
gage in a sustained and inde
pendent search for truth.”
In other action the chapter in
structed its delegate to the na
tional meeting to support national
AAUP efforts to uphold academic
freedom at St. John’s University
but also disapproved endorsement
of any association attempts at
union involvement in the matter.
The national office is opposed
to the New York school’s
summary dismissal of several
faculty members in December,
1965. A teacher’s strike followed
the dismissals and caused na
tional headlines.
Dr. Paul A. Weiss, a National
Academy of Sciences executive
committeeman, will join the Tex
as A&M faculty Sept. 1 as visti-
ing distinguished professor of
biology.
President Earl Rudder an
nounced the addition of Weiss as
the third National Academy of
Sciences member on the faculty.
Others are College of Science
Dean Clarence Zener and College
of Geosciences Dean Horace R.
Byers.
Zener said Weiss will visit
A&M two or three weeks during
the spring and fall semesters to
lecture and aid in planning bio
logical sciences research pro
grams.
Weiss is dean of the University
of Texas Graduate School of Bio
medical Science in Houston. He
headed the Laboratory of De
velopmental Biology of the Rocke
feller Institute in New York for
10 years before joining the UT
faculty.
“The presence of Dr. Weiss will
greatly accelerate the emergence
of Texas A&M as a center of
eminence in biological research,”
Zener commented.
Weiss earned his Ph.D. at the
University of Vienna. He special
izes in developmental, cellular,
neural and theoretical biology.
The new staff member directed
the University of Chicago Bio
logical Division Master’s Program
from 1948 to 1954. He had joined
the Chicago faculty as professor
of zoology in 1933.
Weiss is a member of the Na
tional Research Council and con
sultant to the U. S. Office of
Science and Technology. He is an
associate in MIT’s Neurosciences
Research Program and president
of the International Society for
Cell Biology.
Awards to Weiss include cer
tificates from the U. S. Office
of Scientific Research and De
velopment, the U. S. State De
partment, honorary Sc.D. degree
from the University of Giessen

Sbisa Dining Hall
Facelift Planned
For West Entrance
By GUS De La GARZA
The west side entrance to Sbisa
Hall is scheduled for a facelifting
this summer.
Fred W. Dollar, director of
Food Services, said Wednesday
the remodeling will improve the
cafeteria entrance area. A nicer
facility will draw more customers
and create a better dining at
mosphere, he said.
Harry W. Gooding, assistant
architect in the Office of the Sys
tem Architect, said the entrance
remodeling will cost approxi
mately $50,000. He added bids
for the construction will be tak
en next month. Work on the
project should begin around June
6 and needs to be completed by
Sept. 10.
Plans call for the removal of
the double doors now in use. In
their place three easy-to-manipu-
late glass doors will be installed.
A terrazzo porch with a glassed-
in vestibule will replace the open
porch now in use.
In addition, Dollar said, a can
opy will be dropped to the edge
of the building near the street.
“This is something that has
been needed for a long time,” he
said.
The lights now guarding the
concrete stairs will be moved to
the south end of Sbisa Hall. Dol
lar said these lights may be or
may not be traditional, but they
were being preserved for “gaz
ers” anyway.
Why the remodeling? Basical
ly, the work to be done will pro
vide protection to the entrance
from the weather, Gooding said.
The new facility will also provide
milling space for customer traf
fic.
He said the present doors were
so huge they exposed a large area
of the interior to the weather
every time they are opened. Dur
ing cold weather the customers
seated near the entrance feel the
cold blast of air and the reverse
is true when it is hot, Gooding
said.
“The present entrance doesn’t
serve a useful function as far as
the weather is concerned. A buf
fer zone is needed to better pro
tect the entrance,” Gooding said.
“A more attractive entrance will
be presented, too.”
A new cafeteria line that
may cost up to $20,000 will also
be installed. The cash line cafe
teria will share part of the area
now used by the athletes. The
athletes’ lounge area will be di
vided from the cafeteria by an
attractive screen, Dollar said.
“We have developed cash cus
tomers and we have to put them
somewhere.”
Architects Host
