Civilians Note
Intramural,
Dorm Reports
By DAVID MIDDLEBROOKE
Battalion Staff Writer
The Civilian Student Council
Thursday heard reports on items
ranging from intramural playoffs
to Halloween parties.
Andy Walne, president of Hot-
ard Hall (13), reported that civi
lians would play against the
Corps for an intramural cham
pionship in footbaW. "Waine said
that he and Scott Spitzer, Corps
scholastic officer, had discussed
the project.
COMPANY E-2, Corps cham
pion, will meet with Monaco II,
the civilian champions, to decide
on a time and place, he added.
This will be the first time an
intramural playoff has been held.
Don Taylor, president of the
Apartment Council, reported that
the council had held a Halloween
party, with a carnival for the
children in the apartment area.
“Over 200 people attended and
I have heard nothing but good
reports on it,” he said.
GARLAND CLARK, deputy
Corps commander, asked civilians
attending the TU game to be
at the front of the parade line,
if possible. The purpose, he said,
was to help keep hecklers from
causing trouble during the par
ade.
In other business, the Council
noted that civilians should make
a more conscientious effort to
turn out lights and draw blinds
for Silver Taps ceremonies.

reports, Earyl Roddy led off with
a report on Davis-Gary Hall (18).
He said that a reception had been
held after the Arkansas game.
“Attendance was over 200,” he

| Senate Okays Amendment, |
| Accepts New Voting Code |
By JOHN W. FULLER
Battalion Editor
The Student Senate Thursday
approved a new elections code
and, after a haggling session,
unanimously voted to amend its
constitution to facilitate action
on non-agenda issues.
Senator Tom Fitzhugh spon
sored the constitutional amend
ment, which, as subsequently
amended, requires a two-thirds
vote of the Senate membership
to suspend the rule against vot
ing on issues not listed on the
meeting’s agenda. The Senate
constitution had required a
unanimous vote to suspend the
rule.
Fitzhugh originally asked that
three-fourths of the Senators
present be allowed to suspend the
rule. Senators approved an
amendment which changed this
required vote to three-fourths of
the entire Senate membership.
A lengthy debate ensued.
“IF WE’RE going to have the
kind of Student Senate every
body’s talking about having, we
will need more evolution in the
rules,” Senator Ay Reinert as
serted. “I don’t see that this
would be much of a difference
from the rule we’ve got now.”
Senator Ronald Hinds, who
proposed the amendment, point
ed out that the original proposal
would allow three-fourths of a
quorum, or 18 Senators, to act
on non-agenda measures.
“It’s amazingly easy to put
something on the agenda,” Hinds
continued. “I don’t think it’s
that big a problem to talk with
the Executive Committee (of the
Senate) in advance and get the
issue approved.”
“WE DON’T want to prevent
change,” Reinart charged. “We
don’t want to be like the U.S.
Senate before 1962, when the
minority group of Southerners
was able to control the major
ity.”
Senate Vice-President David
Maddox, speaking for the mo
tion, cautioned against allowing
a suspension of the rules to “act
by emotion” on an issue not list
ed on the pre-meeting agenda.
Immediately after the amend
ed proposal was passed, the Sen
ate amended it again to allow a
two-thirds vote of the entire
membership to suspend the agen
da rule.
Carter said the proposed
amendment will go now to the
Academic Council for approval.
One of the major changes in
the election regulations proposed
by Gerald Geistweidt, Election
Commission president, was chal
lenged and narrowly approved.
The limit on campaign expenses,
previously $25 for candidates for
the top nine Senate positions,
was raised to $50 in Geistweidt’s
proposal, and an amendment to
change the figure to $35 was de
feated in a close vote.
IN SENATE committee re
ports, Gosnell noted that his Is
sues Committee dropped its in
vestigation of the Jeff Daniels
case this week when the Senate
Executive Committee concluded
that “not political beliefs but a
refusal to obey University regu
lations” prevented Daniels,
founder of an A&M chapter of
Students for a Democratic So
ciety last spring, from register
ing for school this fall.
“We don’t necessarily agree
with the regulations,” Gosnell
noted, “but the fact is that Dan
iels disregarded them after be
ing warned that this would re
sult in his being blocked from
registering.” Gosnell also said
Daniels did not appear at an
appeals hearing set up for him
by Dean of Students J. P. Han-
nigan.
Gosnell also commented on a

New Apartment Plan Draws Questions
By MIKE PLAKE
The Tuesday announcement by
Management Services Director
Howard Vestal of plans to re
place seven College View apart
ments with the same number of
one-bedroom apartment com
plexes raised questions among
students who live there.
“What’s going on here?” could
phrase the feelings of several
hundred College View apartment
dwellers who signed a petition
and selected unofficial represent
atives to meet Vestal Friday.
Don Ray and Don Earnst, the
representatives, helped circulate
a petition signed by 348 families
out of a total 464 College View
apartments.
THE PETITION stated that
without low-cost housing — “$60
per month, furnished and includ
ing utilities in the university
area, it would be an extreme
financial hardship to attend Tex
as A&M.”
University National Bank
‘‘On the side of Texas A&M.
—Adv.
The petition also stated: “Peo
ple with children feel the new
one-bedroom apartments would be
insufficient no matter how large
the bedroom ...”
“All we want to do is find out
some things to dispel the rumors
we heard,” Ray said. “We want
to find out how many of the one-
bedroom apartments they will
build in the near future, and how
many College View apartments
they will tear down in the fu
ture,” he explained.
Ray revealed some of the ques
tions asked him by petition-sign
ers:
—the approximate cost per month
of the units announced by
Vestal
—which College View apartments
will be torn down in the future,
so appropriate plans can be
made by students entering Col
lege View
—if future plans will include
construction of two-bedroom
apartments at a rental rate
close to the $60 figure in the
petition.
“WE DON’T particularly care
if College View Apartments are
replaced by new ones — that’s
good,” Ray said.
“We would like to know the
reasons behind building such
elaborate apartments,” he noted.
Ray, Earnst, and others in a
meeting Wednesday night said
“elaborate” described information
they heard from student apart
ment managers and student
apartment employees — that the
new units would be air-condition
ed, carpeted, and would possibly
include clothes washers and dry
ers in each apartment.
In a later telephone conversa
tion, Vestal said the word “elab
orate” could be misleading.
“We took the plans for these
seven units from the basic Hensel
WEATHER
Saturday — Cloudy to partly
cloudy. Winds Southerly 10 to
20 mph. High 77, low 66.
Sunday — Cloudy, intermittent
rain. Winds Southerly 10 to 15
mph. High 74, low 66.
plan because we wanted to avoid
the cost of architects planning
an entirely new project,” he said.
“There will be no carpet in the
new units, to my knowledge,” he
noted. “They will be air-condi
tioned, and installation of wash
ers and dryers in each apartment
is being considered,” Vestal said.
“A definite rental price cannot
be determined until construction
costs are determined,” Vestal
said.
VESTAL TOLD one student
apartment manager that “no
other apartments were planned
in the future.” The student said
he understood that a revised
study would be made of the Col
lege View situation in the plan
ning of future units to replace
College View buildings.
“We are fully aware of the
need for two-bedroom apartments
at College View,” Vestal empha
sized.
“If and when we make a plan
to tear down any other College
View apartments, we will replace
them with two-bedroom units.
“These first seven apartments
are only a beginning in a long-
range project that will eventually
replace College View. They are
just a token,” he said.
An immediate problem in the
moving of College View residents
in the apartments to be razed—
the transfering of resident’s tele
phones to their new apartments
—has been solved by the Univer
sity.
“College View residents who
are being moved to another Col
lege View apartment because of
the new construction, will be re
imbursed for the telephone re-
installation charge,” Rocky Bour-
dreaux, apartment manager, an
nounced.
Another announcement was the
news that all College View resi
dents would be entitled to tele
vision cable service if they want
ed it.

A battle of pride shapes up for
Kyle Field Saturday afternoon
as the Aggies and Rice Owls
battle before an expected crowd
of 40,000.
Neither team has a chance for
the Southwest Conference cham
pionship but as Aggie head coach
Gene Stallings says: “We’re still
representing A&M whether we’re
going for the championship or
not. It is a case of individual
pride.”
RICE ENTERS THE game
with an 0-6-1 season record and
an 0-4 conference mark while
the defending champions have
dropped to a 2-6 season slate and
a 1-4 SWC record.
Quarterback has been one of
the strong points for both teams
this year. Robby Shelton, the
Owl’s senior from Palacios, is
in his third year at the Rice con
trols.
Edd Hargett, A&M’s prize sen
ior from Marietta, breaks a rec
ord almost everytime he raises
his arm. The talented thrower
currently holds nine SWC rec
ords, seven career A&M records,
six game records and two sea
son A&M records.
HARGETT IS tenth on the all-
time NCAA total offense list and
is seventh on the* all-time com
pletion list.
The Aggies are expected to
start Jim Piper and Mike De-
Niro at the defensive ends, Rolf
Krueger and Harvey Aschenbeck
at the tackles and Lynn Odom
at middle guard. Buster Adami
and Bill Hobbs will be at the
linebacking spots with Ivan Jones
at rover and Curley Hallman,
Ross Brupbacher and Tom Sooy
in the defensive secondary.

Sam And Dave At Town Hall
To Open Weekend Activities
Kicking off A&M’s final foot
ball weekend will be the “Soul
Men” Sam and Dave in the Town
Hall special attraction at 8 p.m.
in G. Rollie White Coliseum.
Other events planned are the
presentation of the Campus Chest
Sweetheart, an Alpha Phi Omega
street dance in the Grove with
the Ghost Coach, and midnight
yell practice at Kyle Field. Also,
Carla Remer, eight-year-old In
dian orphan, will be the special
guest of the Student Senate Wel
fare Committee this weekend.
A CORPS of Cadets march-in
at 12:20 p.m. will precede the
A&M-Rice game at Kyle Field.
During half-time, Elaine Hanover,
the “Campus Football Queen of
A&M,” will be presented to the
student body.
For the first time, the new
seating plan will be in effect.
Sections 236-237, “Consideration
Sections,” shall be set aside for
any students who wish to sit
down.
After the game, the Civilian
Student Council will sponsor an
all-University dance with the New
Breed Soul from Cuero in Duncan
Dining Hall from 8-12 p.m.
Sam and Dave, soul music stars,
unleash their simple, spontaneous
and primitive music Friday in a
special attraction.
“IN THE SIX years they have
been together, Sam Moore and
Dave Foster have created a re
markable reputation as the most
exciting twosome on the soul
music scene,” Louis Adams, Town
Hall chairman, said.
Adams also noted that student
activity card-ID will not be hon
ored for general admission. Tick
ets are on sale at the Student
Programs Office in the Memorial
Student Center.
BEFORE THE performance of
Sam and Dave, the Campus Chest
Sweetheart will be announced.
She will also be present at the
A.P.O. street dance, the A&M-
Rice game where she will sit in
the President’s Box, and the All-
University dance.
HOWARD ALSO noted the
guest appearance of Carla Remer,
eight-year-old Indian from Vian,
Okla., will be another highlight
of the weekend.
A&M students “adopted” Carla
last spring through Christian
Children’s Fund but have not had
the opportunity to meet her until
now.
The Aggies plan to make up
for lost time. Carla, after being
fitted for an Aggie jacket, will
be given a grand tour of the cam
pus and dine at Duncan.
“Carla’s evening will continue
at Town Hall, followed by par
ticipation in midnight yell prac
tice,” Howard said.
THEN CARLA will be escorted
to the game by Bill Carter, Stu
dent Senate president, and con
clude the activities at the All-
University dance.
Preceding Saturday’s game,
Cong. Olin E. Teague and Air
Force Maj. Gen. Tom E. March-
banks will be honored guests at
the graded Cadet Corps march-in.
“The Basement,” A&M’s cof
feehouse in the MSC, will feature
this weekend folk singers Jack
Abbott and Wally Williams. It
will be open on Friday, 9-11:30
p.m.; on Saturday, 7-12 p.m.; and
on Sunday, 2-5 p.m.
Aggies Come From All Over
Every state in the union and 65 foreign countries are
represented in the Texas A&M student body this year,
revealed a study by the registrar’s office.
Registrar H. L. Heaton said Louisiana heads the out-
of-state list with 158 students, followed by New York
with 103 and California with 100. On the short end,
Alaska, Idaho and Vermont are tied with five students
each.
The Dominican Republic tops the international list
with 73 students, while Mexico is represented by 65,
India, 60, and China, 58.
The record 13,081 fall enrollment includes for the
first time more than 10,000 Texans — 10,435, to be
exact.
