Civilian students will give their
opinions on present clothing regu
lations b y submitting Student
Senate-approved questionnaires to
the Election Commission on April
25, according to Griff Venator,
president of the Civilian Student
Council.
“The questLonnaries will be dis
tributed to the civilian students
through their dormitory presi
dent prior to the election date,”
Venator said.
Venator said the reason for the
opinion poll is to find out ex
actly what clothing regulations
the civilian students approved and
which they disapproved.
“THE CIVILIAN Student Coun
cil would then draw up new cloth
ing regulations, if needed, based
on the reactions obtained from
the students,” he said.
The poll has three primary
choices to be checked to indicate
whether the student favors pres
ent clothing regulations, wants no
regulations at all or feels current
clothing regulations “should be
relaxed.”
The poll then lists the following
main points of the present cloth
ing regulations which the indivi
dual is to approve individually
and leaves room for comment:
1. All students will wear
clothing which is in good
taste and generally accept
ed by people of this com
munity.
2. For normal classroom and
laboratory activities, wo
men will wear attire which
is in good taste and suit
able for the class, and
which is not of an extreme
nature.
3. “T” shirts (including prac
tice jerseys, etc.) will not
be worn on the campus by
a student unless he is par-
Debaters Win 2

Texas Aggie debaters defeated
Texas twice in winning three of
five rounds at the Savage Foren
sic Tournament at Southwest
Oklahoma State over the week
end.
Ron Hinds of Midland and Bob
Peek of Jacksboro beat the same
Longhorn team on negative and
affirmative debate. Losses were
to Oklahoma State and SMU.
Debate director Robert Archer
of A&M’s English Department
said another team will join
Hinds-Peek in Northwestern Lou
isiana’s tourney at Natchitoches
next weekend.

4. Shower shoes will not be
worn outside the Dormi
tory area.
5. Tattered trousers will not
be worn on the campus.
6. Socks will be worn with
shoes (of all kinds) on the
campus at all times.
7. Students will be required
to have a neat appearance
on the campus at all times.
8. A student will be clean
shaven.
9. Students will have proper
haircuts.
10. Students will not wear
beards.
11. No student will wear, on
campus, any article of
athletic or similar em
blems awarded by schools
other than Texas A&M
(includes other colleges,
high schools.)
“I am well pleased,” Venator
said after the senate approved
the council’s revised opinion poll
Thursday night.
The senate go-ahead climaxed
three weeks’ effort by the coun
cil to get some sort of referendum
on the present clothing regula
tions before the civilian students.
Last week, the senate had turned
down n.n earlier version of the
council opinion poll because it
was not “concrete.”
This opinion poll should provide
the best picture of what the ci
vilian students want,” Jerry
Campbell, senate president,
agreed.
“HAVING ONLY the civilian
students taking part in the poll
should also create less confusion,”
he added.
In other senate business, plans
were discussed for the Student
Idea Exchange Conference, which
A&M is hosting in the Memorial
Student Center April 19 and 20.
Campbell noted that approxi
mately 50 student government
representatives from schools in
the Southwest Conference will
participate in the two-day round
table discussions on more effec
tive student government.
A SENATE POLL to determine
whether students would be will
ing to give up a meal to help
orphans in Vietnam is being con
ducted by Leon E. Travis III,
chairman of the Senate Welfare
Committee.
The senate plans to use the
results of the poll, if favorable,
to convince the University Execu
tive Council to close the dining
halls for one meal and use the
money saved to send to Vietna
mese orphans, Travis explained.

Louis Adams Named Chairman
Of Town Hall For Next Year
By JOHN FULLER
Battalion Managing Editor
Louis Adams, junior chemical
engineering major from Kings
ville, Monday was named chair
man of the Memorial Student
Center’s Town Hall Committee
for 1968-69.
Bobby Gonzales, this year’s
chairman of the entertainment
series-sponsoring group, made the
announcement of the MSC selec
tion committee’s choice at a meet
ing of Town Hall Committee
members.
“I am pleased that the com
mittee chose Louis to head next
year’s activities,” Gonzales said.
“He was a very capable vice-
chairman for Town Hall this year
and I think he learned a lot about
the program which will stand him
in good stead.”
ADAMS WILL administer a
Town Hall budget which this year
topped $77,000 and is expected to
be increased for next season.
“I hope to receive applications
for junior positions from inter
ested sophomores around March
11-22,” Adams noted. “Interviews
for prospective members are ten
tatively scheduled for the first
few days in April, and we’re
tentatively planning to announce
the selections by the Friday be
fore Easter vacation.”
ADAMS SAID he hopes to
select approximately 40 to 50
sophomores for the positions.
Standard requirements for selec
tion, which Adams said may be
subject to changes before the
applications are issued, include
a 1.25 overall grade point ratio
and at least a 1.0 for the previous
semester, with no scholastic or
conduct probation.
Adams said senior sub-commit
tee chairmanships will probably
be determined sometime before
the interviews start.
Adams is scholastic sergeant
of the Cadet Corps. He is a Dis
tinguished Student and a member
of the Ross Volunteer Company.
