Committee Chosen To Study Clothing Regs Poll Modified Regs To Be Drafted Before May 9 By BOB PALMER * S **-^.: Cbc Battalion A special Civilian Student ■ Council committee will examine the results of Wednesday’s cloth- • ing regulations pool and submit a new set of regulations by May 9. A called meeting will convene 30 minutes before the newly elected council takes office that day. The committee consists of CSC President Griff Venator, Richard Holt, President-Elect David Wilks, Joe Tijerina and James Brunjes. The motion to form the com mittee came after nearly two hours of argument and the de feat of a proposed clothing regu lation made by Councilman Lar ry Schilhab. “ALL STUDENTS should have a neat appearance on campus at all times,” Schilhab’s proposal read. “They should not wear any article of clothing which displays any athletic or similar emblem awarded by schools other than Texas A&'M.” The motion was defeated by a 11 to seven vote. : “From the tally, it is my opin ion that civilian students want some sort of clothing code which includes a general, broad state ment,” Schilhab said. “They do not want to state any specifics other than the one speci fication I proposed,” he noted. SCHILHAB said he reached his conclusion after studying the poll results reported by Venator. Of the 1,126 persons that re turned the poll, 306 voted to keep current regulations, 439 wanted to do away with them completely and 381 called for modification of the regulations, according to Venator. “This would mean that 61 per cent of the voters wanted regu lations of some sort, while 72 per cent demanded change,” Vena tor declared. Of those calling for modifica tion, the most dissatisfaction was registered concerning the re strictions on wearing T-shirts, socks and beards. THE CALL for revision on T- shirts caught 64 per cent of the modification vote, while socks came in second with 63 percent. The regulation prohibiting beards drew 54 percent of the ballots. Haircuts and shaves followed percentage wise, while the re maining regulations had only about 20 per cent disapproval. Several councilmen remarked that just because the regulations about T-shirts and socks were marked for revision did not mean the students wanted the rule com pletely done away with. “WHEN I sounded out some of the members of my dorm, they wanted to be able to wear T- shirts on campus, but they still did not want them allowed in the classroom,” one councilman re ported. Another agreed that “on cam pus” was too broad and that reg ulations should be limited to class and “restricted areas.” Councilman Jim Burns, who fought the removal of CSC sup port for clothing regulations, was on the other side of the fence Thursday night. “The Civilian Student Council should make the clothing regula tions,” Burns asserted. “It should be ‘We the students’ set ting down clothing guidelines for ourselves, not the university tell ing us what we have to wear.” Another councilman called for a joint faculty-student committee to interpret the clothing regula tions.
