New Clothing Rules Proposal Goes '***^r™*«°™ m—mm « To Hannigan For Approval By BOB PALMER Battalion Staff Writer In its last official act, the 1967-68 Civilian Student Council Thursday unanimously passed a new set of clothing regulations. The new regulations now go to Dean of Students James P. Hannigan, along with the results of the April 24 clothing regula tions poll, which Council Presi dent Griff Venator considered a mandate for change. Dean Hannigan called the pro posed regulations “possibly a very workable solution.” “I certainly consider it a basic ally sound document,” he added. The vote on the proposed regu lations came in a special called meeting of the council, 30 minutes before it went out of office. THE RESOLUTION had been drafted by a committee appointed at the last meeting of the council when it had become deadlocked over the wording of a new set of regulations. WASHINGTON <A>) — The House voted Thursday to refuse federal financial support to any student who takes part in a cam pus uprising that disrupts a col lege’s operations. It included the ban in a bill that would extend for two more years a $1 billion package of stu dent aid programs that now reach about 1.5 million students, about 25 per cent of the total college enrollment. The decision as to whether a student has been involved in a campus demonstration would be left to the college authorities un der the provision. With frequent references to the uprisings that shut down Co lumbia University and have swept campuses across the na tion, the House members over whelmingly approved the provi sion by a 306-54 roll call vote. Final passage then came on a 348 to 5 vote. The House also adopted amend ments that would deny any of the funds to students convicted of crimes arising out of college demonstrations or of inciting or taking part in a riot. The committe consisted of Ve nator, CSC President-elect David Wilks, Richard Holt, Joe Tijer ina and James Brunjes. “I am pleased that the council has taken action on the clothing regulations,” Venator commented after the vote had been taken. “I think these new regulations are great,” Wilks said. “They in clude about everything we wanted to express.” IN THE JOINT session, the two councils passed a resolution calling upon the administration “to develop an intensified resi dence hall program along the guidelines developed at the Bu chanan Dam Conference of March 1968.” At the conference, a group of seven civilian leaders discussed various problems facing A&M and developed a set of guidelines soon to be released. The implementation of these guidelines would “foster the de velopment and utilization of stu dent leadership and the enrich ment of civilian student life,” the resolution read. Dean Hannigan pointed out that the resolution must follow of ficial channels. NEW REGULATIONS PROPOSED David Wilks, right, reads his committee’s proposal for new clothing regulations as the Civilian Students Council listens. Presiding is Griff Venator, CSC president, who official ly turned over the council leadership to president-elect Wilks following the called meeting. (Photo by Mike Wright) Following is the text of the CSC resolution on clothing regu lations: Dress standards at Texas A&M University are casual ex cept for specified formal oc casions. Slacks or jeans and sport shirts are recommended for men. For women, attire which is in good taste and suitable for class is suggested. Wearing athletic jackets or emblems from high schools or other colleges, and shower shoes are definitely not suit able. Clothing and appearance standards for Cadets are pre scribed by the Commandant. Civilian students will not wear the Texas A&M Cadet uniform at any time or place. A student’s dress and groom ing can reflect both pride in himself and in his uniersity community. The university be lieves that most students are mature enough to dress and groom themselves appropriate ly. Any disciplinary action taken against a particular stu dent as a result of his dress and/or grooming will result from the following procedure: 1. A special committee ap pointed annually by the Civilian Student Council President and approved by the Council will hear cases which involve dress and/or grooming of specific students. 2. Any student, faculty, or staff member may ask for such a hearing and must be present at that hearing. 3. The committee will make recommendations to the Dean of Students based on its find ings. Arts Committee Chairman Doesn H Fit Standard Image By MIKE PLAKE Battalion Features Editor The standard image for the chairman of a contemporary arts committee, whose job it to “ex pose students to all art forms,” might be a bearded, sandaled art ist, with aesthetic views and a sensitive temperment. Not that sandals or beards are to be condemned. But it’s not the case here. MSC Contemporary Arts Chair man Tom Ellis, a tall, gangly architecture major from La Porte, has no beard. He is a member of the Corps of Cadets; sandals are not part of his uniform. Ellis has developed a standard for his committee: “We want to bring to A&M students and faculty and citizens of the College Station area a familiarization with the arts,” Ellis says. “WE DEAL with four areas of contemporary arts: plastic arts— paintings and sculpture; literary arts—writers and poets of today; fine arts—performers, music bal let, modern dance; and celluloid arts, which, of course, are films.” Under the auspices of co-chair men Mark Schumann and Carlos Almaguer, the film series sub committee of the Contemporary Arts committee will feature two more movie attractions this se mester. “May 14, two award-winning student films will be shown,” Ellis said. “The films were made by college students, and won top awards in the second annual stu dent film festival in New York City this year. “WE WILL show two movies, each about 45 minutes long. Ad mission for any of the contempo rary arts film is 50 cents for students, 75 cents for anyone else,” he added. Ellis said the last film this year, “Mickey One,” will be shown May 20. Both films will be shown in the Memorial Student Center ballroom. “ ‘Mickey One’ is the story of a ’68-’69 Activities To Be Scheduled Tuesday In MSC A scheduling session for 1968- 69 campus activities is set for 5 p.m. Tuesday in the Social Room of the Memorial Student Center, announced F. W. Hensel, coordi nator of the Continuing Education Office. Hensel, whose office is responsi ble for compiling the All-Univer sity Calendar, urges staff and student organization leaders or sponsors to attend the one-hour meeting and help avoid any scheduling conflicts. He said representation at the meeting is particularly important for groups planning weekend ac tivities next year. comedian who believes he is own ed by the Mob,” Ellis said. “He runs in fear until he learns he can face the mob only when he faces himself. “It’s a fine film, starring War ren Beatty, and directed by Arthus Penn.” MOVIES ARE not the only area of artistic activity that the committee covers, however. Three other subcommittees, and their chairmen, are Literary Arts — Clint Machann; Fine Arts — Bob Knox; Exhibits Committee—Jim Mayeux. These subcommittees, according to Ellis, “have tremen dous potential. A committee, especially one that must rent films and paint ings and uncover other areas of contemporary art to bring to the student, must have adequate financing. “Presently, we are concerned with getting a budget of about $8,000 for the various subcommit tees approved, Ellis said. Who selects the films and brings ideas as to what particular arts might raise the interest of the A&M students? “One way we do it is through an idea banquet,” Ellis said. The banquet this year will be at 6 p.m. May 23 in the Memorial Student Cetiter. % Bryan Building & Loan Association, Your Sav ings Center, since 1919. BB&JL -Adv.
