Should social fraternities be
allowed on the Texas A&M
campus? Students will decide as
they go to the polls to elect eight
Student Senate officers and three
Civilian Council officers Thurs
day.
THE POLLS will be open in
the basement of the Memorial
Student Center from 8:00 a.m. to
7:30 p.m. All voters are reminded
to bring their voter registration
card. Students who have not
voted in either of the two previ
ous elections can still pick up
their registration card when they
go to the polls.
Eight officers for the Senate
will be chosen in tomorrow’s
balloting. They are president,
vice president, parliamentarian,
recording secretary and the
chairman of the four standing
committees.
CIVILIANS HAVE a meager
selection to represent them for
president, vice president and
secretary-treasurer.
Civilian Student Council candi
dates are Lewis Griffin Venator
for president and George Nathan
Walne for vice president. Write-
ins will be counted for all three
offices, and will determine the
winner of the secretary-treasurer
race where no one filed.
Candidates for the president of
the Student Senate are Francis
John Bourgeois, Gerald Wayne
Campbell and Ernest J. Pena.
FOR VICE president, Charles
A. Brown, Bill E. Carter and
David T. Maddox have filed.
Joseph Paul Webber is running
unopposed for the parliamen
tarian opening.
Three candidates are up for the
recording secretary office. They
are Larry A. Bowles, Mark
Anthony Fairchild and Robert
Edward Moreau.
Jack Ronald Coleman, Clarence
Travis Daugherty and Edward
Charles Kindel have filed for the
chairmanship of the Issues Com
mittee.
Student Life Committee chair
man will go either to Don Mc
Leroy, John Darby Parr or Don
ald Anthony Swofford.
CHAIRMAN of the Public Re
lations Committee will go to
Reese W. Brown of Dewey E.
“Trey” Helmcamp III.
John H. Daly and James A.
Mobley have filed for the office
of Welfare Committee Chairman.
The senate candidates have to
have a 1:5 overall and a 1.0 last
semester in order to qualify for
the job. Civilian Council candi
dates must have a 1:5 overall and
a 1.25 in the fall semester in
order to qualify.
Jack Myers, election committee
chairman, urged all election com
mittee workers to work at any
off period Thursday. He also
said that the application of these
students who filed for Senate
representative from a college will
be honored at the time of the
Senate College Representative
election May 16.

VIETNAM
U. S. jet squadrons, absorbing - some losses, built up
the tempo of the air war against North Vietnam Tuesday
with their second raid inside Haiphong and their closest
strike ever to Hanoi — an attack on the Gia Lam railroad
repair yards.
WASHINGTON
The Senate yesterday approved the outer space treaty,
a measure President Johnson has said can be a beginning
to new understanding and harmony between the East and
West.
The Teamster’s Union said Tuesday that members are
“voting by a majority” to accept a national trucking con
tract, but the final outcome is still inconclusive.
NATIONAL
Robert Haack, president of the National Association
of Securities Dealers, was elected the next president of the
New York Stock Exchange.
The usual business-like shareholders meeting of the
Eastman Kodax Co. erupted yesterday into a raucous —
though sometimes orderly — debate on civil rights, be
ginning with a mass demonstration and ending with a
threat of racial violence.
TEXAS
Police arrested three students of t.u. on abusive lan
guage charges following a visit by Vice President Hum
phrey to Austin.
Gov. Connally proposed to make liquor by the drink
automatic in all parts of about 122 counties. He said that
the bill could not be counted on for revenue otherwise.
struction is 50 per cent complete,”
Badgett remarked. “New rest
room facilities and rooms for
game officials are moving along
well under the stands on the west
side.”
Badgett said duct work near
G. Rollie White Coliseum to bring
in 12,500 volts of power also is
nearing completion.
“IT NOW LOOKS like the west
side of the stadium will be ready
for the September 16 game,”
Badgett added.
Temple Associates of Diboll is
contractor for new construction
at the stadium.
“All pre-cast concrete sections
have been completed and are
waiting to be set in place on both
sides of the field,” Badgett com
mented.
WOODEN SEATS have been
removed throughout the stadium
to make way for new plastic seats.
Badgett said 18 rows of plastic
seats have already been installed
from the south end to the north
end of the lower west side. He
said more than two sections of
plastic seats have been set in
place on the east side of the
stadium.
Floodlight poles are scheduled
to arrive June 15, Badgett noted,
and be installed by August 1. He
said four sets of light standards
are to be erected on each side.
BADGETT noted that concrete
structure footings for columns
have been poured on the east side
of the stadium.
Other accomplishments thus far
include the pouring of the founda
tion for a new west side elevator.
Badgett said installation of the
elevator should be completed by
the end of August.
GENERAL VISITS CAMPUS
Brig. Gen. Carleton Freer (left), new chief of the Army ROTC program, chated with Tex
as A&M President Earl Rudder and A&M Commandant D. L. Baker (second from right)
during a brief visit to the campus Friday. General Freer was accompanied by Col. E. W.

New Department Heads Named
Appointment of two new assist
ant professors to the Education
and Psychology Department fac
ulty at Texas A&M has been an
nounced by Dr. Paul Hensarling,
head.
PAUL L. PETRICH of Nor
wich, Conn., will teach educational
administration for principalship,
curriculum and instruction. Di
rector of student teaching and
instructor in undergraduate sec
ondary education will be Charles
J. Salek of Skokie, 111.
The appointments are to new
teaching positions from increased
enrollment, Hensarling said.
Salek, 41, has been principal of
Skokie’s Niles North High School
since 1964 and was assistant pro
fessor of secondary education two
years at the University of Bridge
port, where he was student teach
ing coordinator and placement
director.
HE RECEIVED the bachelor
degree in English at Rutgers, the

General Qaims Army ROTC
‘Has Never Been Healthier’
Army ROTC has never been
healthier than it is today, Brig.
Gen. Carleton Freer, the pro
gram’s new chief, declared during
a visit to Texas A&M.
GENERAL FREER said a large
recent increase in the number
of college students seeking ad
vanced ROTC contracts has forc
ed the Army to establish nation
wide quotas for the first time.
Whereas some 15,000 students
normally apply each year for con
tracts leading to commissions, cur
rent esimates are running as high
as 26,000, the general noted.
APPROXIMATELY 20,000 con
tracts will be awarded next year,
General Preer said.
Col. D. L. Baker, professor of
military science at Texas A&M,
noted that although the univer
sity has been alloted a maximum
number of junior cadets authoriz
ed to sign advanced contracts in
September, the quota is not ex
pected to create a major problem
here. He said approximately 275
cadets will be eligible.
GENERAL PREER primarily
attributed the ROTC program’s
increased popularity to heighten
ed interest in the world situation.
While visiting here, General
Preer informed local ROTC offic
ials that subsistence allowance for
contract cadets has been raised
from $40 to $50.
The general assumed control
