Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Friday, December 6, 1968 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle ON OTHER CAMPUSES “What do you make of a student making failing grades who says he’s not challenged?” Gripes See Action Ever wondered what goes on at a Civilian Dining Hall Committee meeting? Well, here’s what happened at yes terday’s : • Two students complained of a surly attitude and lack of cooperation of waiters. Col. Fred Dollar ordered the Sbisa head steward to call a waiter meeting. • Another student griped about dirty cereal bowls at breakfast- Dollar admitted this situation “could be naus eous,” “especially at breakfast,” and promised they will now be checked before and after washing. • Students paying board in one installment should not have to get ID cards embossed three times a semester, a student asserted. Dollar said he and a graduate student are working on it; their work, along with more embossing machines, will change the procedure next year, he added. The agenda of the meeting didn’t resemble that of the 91st Congress. The decisions reached were not nearly as earth-shaking as those of the UN Security Council. All the meeting did was provide communication between students and the administration, and change some things students wanted changed. And it all started when somebody took time to gripe about the dining hall where it counted. —David Middlebrooke By MONTY STANLEY Out in West Texas, near Marfa, Texas University now has its own observatory, complete with the third largest lens in the world. Built on Mount Locke un der contract with NASA, the in strument cost almost $5 million. In addition to the planned re search projects it will make pos sible in the field of astronomy, it will be used to obtain detailed data to be used in planning fu ture space missions. ★ ★ ★ A survey released by the edu cational testing service which ap peared in the Ohio State Lantern showed the Vietnam war to be the major cause of organized protests by college students dur ing the past year. The survey of 800 colleges stated that dormi tory rules, civil rights, and stu dent participation in college gov ernment, in that order, were the next most frequently reported Causes. ★ ★ ★ A couple of students from East Texas State were on a field trip in the Commerce area and found parts of the skeleton of a Moso- zaur. The animal, a swimming sea lizard, was estimated as be ing about 20 feet long and 75 million years old. ★ ★ ★ Last Friday marked something new at Eastern New Mexico Uni versity. Students and top faculty members met at their Coffeeshop for their first “Bitch-in.” ★ ★ ★ 111 feelings still remain after the U of H’s apparently merci less 100-6 revenge victory over Tulsa. Whatever happens, games like that should not be given a chance to happen here at A&M. Think of it. That would just have to be the one game, the only game, that you said “Yeah, go ahead and get me a blind date, I guess . . .” and there you’d be with your 185 pound 8-pointer, kissing after every score. ★ ★ ★ While we’re on that subject, at TWU (just kidding, Tessie-lov- ers) this semester, the girls re ceived numerically and percen- tagevwise the lowest number of “failing slips” in several years. However, that number was still THE BATTALION Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.
