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.

For Civilian Weekend
Ball, Town Hall Top Activities
By MIKE PLAKE
Battalion Features Editor
Rumbling drums, melodic voi
ces and the compelling music of
the Fifth Dimension will high
light the 1968 Civilian Weekend
activities Saturday at 7 p.m. in
G. Rollie White Coliseum.
The Countdown 5, a group of
University of Houston students,
will share the first 40 minutes of
the two-hour program.
At 9 p.m. Saturday a “Mardi
Gras” dance is scheduled in Sbisa
Hall. This year’s Civilian Sweet
heart will be selected at the dance.
“The dance tickets, at $3 a
couple, will be sold today and
also will be available at the door,”
Larry Schilhab, weekend commit
tee chairman, said.
“The dress for the dance is
casual; sports coat and tie or
suit for men, after-five or party
dresses for ladies,” Schilhab not
ed.
Saturday’s other weekend acti
vities include a noon outdoor bar
becue in the Grove. A mammoth
tug-of-war will ensue at 1:30
p.m.
“We’re hoping for six to eight
hundred people at the tug-of-
war,” Schilhab said. “We will
have competition between the
dorms.”
Schilhab said a limit of 23
people or 3,400 pounds would be
set on each team.
“We’d also like to encourage
as many students as possible to
make it to Town Hall,” Schilhab
said.
He reported that according to
H. W. Gaines, student advisor,
date ticket sales for the Fifth
Dimension performance are “slow
er than usual.”
The Fifth Dimension, whose
sound has been advertised as “a
convergence of all the musical
influences of the ’60’s,” has re
corded such hit tunes as “Up, Up
and Away,” and “Go Where You
Wanna Go.”
At the 10th Annual Academy
of Arts and Sciences Grammy
Awards presentations this year,
the group captured “Record of
the Year,” “Best Performance by
a Single Group,” “Best Contem
porary Single” and “Best Con
temporary Group Performance.”
They have appeared on the Holly
wood Palace, Jackie Gleason, Ed
Sullivan, Mike Douglas and Red
Skelton television shows.
They first performed under the
name “The Hi Fi’s,” on tour with
joyous blend of rich harmonics
Ray Charles. After changing man
agers and their group name, they
worked with Johnny Rivers.
They have been acclaimed for
their stage presence. According
to Braverman - Mirisch, Inc., a
California public relations firm,
the Fifth Dimension is “an ex
ample of showmanship at its best
—special tailored mod; costumes,
expert choreography and a reper
toire that runs the gamut from
soul to pop—they sparkle in a
