Fall Semester’s Housing Facilities Expected Filled Early indications point to full occupancy of Texas A&M’s 30 dormitories and 776 apartments for the fall semester. Dean of students James P. Hannigan said 6,460 beds will be available in campus dormitories. He noted this fall will mark the first time in several years all 30 dormitories have been in opera tion. If dormitories are filled to ca pacity, more day student permits will likely be issued, said Associ ate Dean of Students Bennie Zinn. “In the past, we have restrict ed undergraduate day student permits to juniors and seniors,” Zinn remarked. "It appears that we may approve day student per mits for a number of sophomores this fall.” Married students, graduate students and other students whose parents live in the area also receive day student permits. Others eligible for the permits include students with specialized part-time jobs off campus.

Work Continues On Library, Field Despite Pickets Despite the picket lines set up by the local Laborers Union, con struction on Cushing Memorial Library and Kyle Field is pro gressing on schedule, according to H. J. Thigpen, construction superintendent for Temple Asso ciates, Inc. Kyle Field is still projected to be completed in time for the SMU-A&M football game Sep tember 16, Thigpen said. A union spokesman said the Laborers Union set up the pick ets in an attempt to get Temple Associates and their subcontrac tors to sign a contract with their organization. The purpose of the contract is to give union repre sentatives an opportunity to ne gotiate for higher wages and im prove working conditions on fu ture jobs. Pat Rankin, business manager for the local brick layers union, said that all members of the Building and Trades Council will honor the picket line as long as it is up, and stated that most local building unions are members of the council with the exception of the Carpenters Union. There is no indication when a settlement will be reached. By JERRY GRISHAM New summer school students at A&M should obtain laundry marks before sending their cloth ing to the laundry, G. R. Hart- sock, Texas A&M Laundry man ager, has announced. He said that the marks can be picked up at the main laundry on Asbury St. The A&M Laundry has adjusted its schedule for the summer ses sions and issued instructions for students using the laundry. According to Hartsock, students Coeds Introduced By Added Feature Summer is not all that comes to A&M in June. With the sum mer sessions come the coeds from other colleges and universities. Beginning in today’s Battalion is a feature that will attempt to introduce several of these coeds, both of A&M and of other schools, to Aggieland. These coeds are selected at random by a roving photograph er. Their pictures and a brief description will appear in each edition of the Battalion under the title of “Girl Watcher’s Cor- o cow icher New Banking Rules Begin On Sept. 1 Beginning September 1 all checks and drafts deposited with Federal Reserve banks will not be handled through regular bank collection channels of received without the magnetic ink transit numbers.

Currently, about eight percent of all checks handled in this re serve district are “customer drafts” or “change d” checks (where the name of a bank has been scratched out and another bank’s name written in) accord ing to a local bank official. Such checks cannot be pro cessed by computers until they have been encoded by another machine, creating an overload on the Federal Reserve banks. After September 1 such checks will be returned or a collection fee will be accessed. The collec tion fee recommended by the Fed eral Reserve is $1.50. The pur pose of the high collection fee is to deter the use of “customer drafts” and “changed” checks. What this means to the stu dent is that he will have to start carrying his own magnetic ink encoded checks with him and stop using drafts. The Federal Re serve recommends keeping a few blank checks with you if it is not convenient to carry your check book. City Police Force Has New Helper A police dog is now aiding law enforcement officers in the City of College Station, Mayor D. A. Anderson reported today. This is another step in making our police department more ef fective, the mayor said. The dog will be given addition al training and will be used in situations where its use is war ranted in helping solve some of the problems. “Tippy,” as he is called, has been sworn in as an official mem ber of the police team, Mayor Anderson concluded.

Group seating at the games is Barbers To Take Extra Day Off Many College Station barbers will take an extra day off during the summer months as they join with other members of the Bryan- College Station Barbers Associa tion in closing their shops each Monday. According to one North Gate barber the Monday closing was voted by the College Station asso ciation due to the “annual sum mer slow-down” of trade. The association’s members be gan closing their doors on Mon day last week and will continue on a five-day schedule until after Labor Day. The B-CS Barber Association has more than 40 members op erating under the new schedule.

First Session Sets Summer Record First term summer school reg istration climbed to 5,144 this week at Texas A&M, with the final total to be announced. Associate Registrar Ray Per ryman said registration figures from the Texas Maritime Acade my at Galveston are needed to wrap up enrollment. The record enrollment reflects a gain of almost 11 per cent over the first summer term of 1966.

Laundry bundles must be turn ed in at the stations before 9 a.m. on the days specified or there will be a fifty-cent penalty charge. Pickup time for all laundry is after 1 p.m. Dorm students with gold laun dry tickets are to leave their laundry bags at Leggett Hall Sta tion three and pick pick them up at the main laundry, and for all other students with white tickets, the main laundry is the delivery and pickup point. Ticket stubs must also be pre sented in order to obtain the finished laundry, Hartsock said. Failure to do this will necessitate presenting an ID card and a fif- teen-cent penalty charge. Students are limited to 30 pieces of laundry a week including one pair of coveralls, two pair of pants, two polo shirts, four sheets, four shirts (fatigues or Clinic V Neck Jackets) and 17 other pieces. Hartsock said that quilts, che nille bedspreads, blankets, rugs or ladies clothing are not included in the regular 30 piece bundle. He suggested that rugs, blankets and quilts not be laundered but said that the laundry would do them at the students’ risk. Only one bundle will be ac cepted each week from each stu dent for his laundry fee. Addi tional laundry will be charged regular student rates. Charcoaled Steaks On Menu Of Sbisa Cash Cafeteria By WINSTON GREEN Battalion Editor Patrons of the Sbisa Cash Cafe teria will soon be able to choose from an assortment of charcoal- broiled steaks for their evening meal according to Col. Fred Dol lar, food services director. The new plan will allow cus tomers to choose a steak cooked to their specifications from the food assortment in the cafeteria lines. “These steaks will be of the highest quality,” says Dollar. “They will be government - in spected and aged 10-14 days.” Dollar explained that the ag ing makes the steaks tender and brings out more flavor. “These steaks will cost a little more than our regular line of meats,” he added, “but will give the student a chance to dine a little more elaborately without having to drive off campus to do so.” The addition of the charcoal steaks to the Sbisa evening menu is expected to be completed be fore the end of the current sum mer session. Also, in the near future, a poll will be taken of Sbisa customers by university officials to deter mine if it would be possible to offer students a summer board plan. “The proposal of a summer board program will depend upon the response of the students,” said Dollar. “If enough students are interested to make such a program practical, a plan will be submitted to the board of direc tors for approval.” Dollar mentioned that this pro gram would probably be intro duced next summer if approved. The Sbisa Cash Cafeteria is located upstairs on the west end of Sbisa Dining Hall and is open for all students, faculty, staff, and their campus guests. More than 1,500 persons per day filed through Sbisa’s two lines during its first summer op eration last week. The cafeteria has four cashiers and can ac commodate up to 1,000 persons per hour. Sbisa’s summer hours have been expanded this year so that students will not have to sched ule their meals as rigidly as they would their classes says Dollar. The summer schedule is: MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY 7 a.m.-2 p.m., 4:30 p.m.-7 p.m. SATURDAY 7 a.m.-1:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. SUNDAY 8 a.m.-9 a.m., 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. The Fountain Room in the Me morial Student Center will be open all day on July 4.
