Bemgen, senior in dustrial engineering major from Chillicothe, won third place and $100 in the recent regional tech nical paper contest at Norman, Okla. Sailing Club Takes Fourth In Lake Travis Regatta On February 9, of this year, The Battalion asked students their opinion concerning’ civilian dress on campus. Most of them stated that at that time civilian dress was no problem, and that most students were abiding by uni versity regulations regarding campus clothing. But what one student said seems to have had a great deal of truth in it. He said “students are abiding by the rules of dress now, since its cold, but when spring and warmer weather arrives we’ll be able to tell how serious the problem is on our campus.” Spring is here — and so is the problem. A quick glance at the campus shows that many stu dents have chosen to disregard the rules as stated on page 23-24 of the “Blue Book” (University Regulations), and set their own standards of dress by exhibiting themselves in tattered football jerseys, blue jeans ripped off at the knees and shoes without socks. Students who are disregarding these rules are endan gering this campus’ reputation as a university with high standards and risking the possibility of it being equalized to the “cookie-pusher” schools. They also show no respect for other students who follow the regulations. The Battalion suggests that as a solution to this growing problem, students who do not abide by clothing regulations should be refused service at the Sbisa dining hall, Memorial Student Center and the Exchange Store. Also, with the help of faculty members, these students should be barred from the classroom until they conform to regulations. We are not attempting to establish new rules, but simply calling for enforcement of existing ones. University students should dress as such. A&M is not a rumpus room. Berngen’s paper, ‘‘Economic Practicability of Paper Surgical Packs,” was presented during the annual Engineers' Week Confer ence at Oklahoma University. The report was based on research at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bryan. Berngen said he has reported re sults of the study to the hospital. Berngen is president of the A&M chapter of the Texas So ciety of Professional Engineers, and is a member of Phi Eta Sig ma, Tau Beta Pi, Alpha Pi Mu, and Who’s Who in American Col leges and Universities. He is also past chairman of the Mem orial Student Center Travel Com mittee. By BILL ALDRICH Battalion Staff Writer In operation for only about five months, the Texas A&M Sailing Club was one of the five schools to take part in the recent Inter collegiate Embleton Cup Sailing Regatta. The Regatta is believed to be the first competition of this type in the nation, at least in the Southwest. It was held last Sun day on Lake Travis near Austin, with the Ag Sailing Club finish ing fourth behind Baylor, Del Mar Junior College of Corpus Christi, and the University of Texas. Boasting almost 80 members in its initial year on the campus, the Sailing Club is set up for stu dents, faculty and staff of A&M. Its purpose is to promote an in terest and provide instruction in sailing, and also to promote inter collegiate sailing competition. Membership in the Club is still open. Dues are $2.00 per semes ter. Interested persons may place their name on the mailing list by signing up at the poster across from the MSC coffee shop. Last Sunday’s Regatta was termed a big success by Kelvin DeGinder, commodore of the Sail ing Club. “I was surprised it boomed so quickly,” he added. He expressed an interest in further competition before the end of the school year. Organizers of the Regatta were also impressed. Tom Leach, three time state sailing champion and an organizer of the Regatta, said that he was “pleasantly surprised at the caliber of both the crews and skippers.” Leach and Sandy Bauman, both members of the Austin Sailing Club, donated much time and effort toward making the Regatta a success. The Austin Club also donated the five boats for the competition, all being 17 foot Thistle Class sail boats. Sound Off Editor, The Battalion; Dear Sir: MAN YOUR MANNERS Four coeds from Texas Woman’s University will begin the first of the YMCA’s “Man Your Manners” program Tues day night at 7:30. Participants of Tuesday’s panel include (left to right) Cheri Holland, Kathy Heldman and Pat Calliham. Sunday afternoon (March 19) our campus was privileged to host The University of Texas Concert Choir and The Dallas Symphony Orchestra, both of which rendered a very fine, indeed excellent, per formance of Bach’s Mass in B Minor, in G. Rollie White Coli seum. I am sorry that such a fine Sunday afternoon had to be marred by several occurances that seem to be trademarks of per formances here on our campus and, in my opinion, are among the things that originate and per petuate the “Aggie Joke” and the idea that the A&M student and graduate is uncouth, uncultured, and comes from an institution teaching him to be so. Latecomers were ushered to seats or allowed to find their own seats during actual performance of numbers, rather than between numbers — all in the quite brightly lit hall. Control person nel in full view of the audience, a senior in boots and another gentleman in white shirt without tie and with his feet on the rail ing next to the control booth, moved about frequently in full view of the audience and perform ers. Then, during one of the first delicate passages of the Mass, a series of loud, rumbling noises were heard from other portions of the building — probably doors slamming or basketballs being bounced off a backboard. Each of these incidents may seem minor, but are not to per sons who were there to enjoy fine music and who paid for the right to see and hear with unnecessary distractions. As a former stu dent and member of the faculty who does care about making this school a real university (not a college for hicks that some, yes many, still think we are), I en treat those of you who organize, direct, and participate in our few cultural activities to recognize that our facilities are poor for these performances and require extra effort on all concerned to make them successful; and that consideration for the other per formance, is one of the marks of a gentleman or a lady. Sincerely, Chartier Newton Assistant Professor Members of the A&M team were Don Rowe, David Walker and DeGinder, their skipper. The officers of the club, in addition to DeGinder, are Paul Rowe, Vice commodore, Bob Pettit, Secre tary-treasurer, and David Kruger, Programs Chairman. David Hut ton, assistant professor in archi tecture, is the faculty advisor. DeGinder expressed his hope that anyone in the Bryan-College Station area would take an inter est, “whether or not they own boats.” Many members of the club own boats and could teach these people,” he added. This spring the Sailing Club will feature a boat show on the A&M campus. The event is ten- atively scheduled for the second week in April on the field be tween the Memorial Student Cen ter and Guion Hall. At its Tuesday meeting the club will discuss plans for an other regatta. It will also dis cuss final plans for the boat show. Anybody interested in sail ing is invited.
