THE BATTALION
‘OFFICIAL N0 ?
(Continued from page 1)
troduced an amendment to Fitz-
hugh’s resolution, calling for the
deletion of his statement about
the First Amendment and sub
stituting words to the effect that
though the senate is not respon
sible for any opinions advocated
by any students, it nevertheless
“encourages students of this uni
versity to exercise in a construc
tive manner their rights of free-
doom of expression according to
their convictions.”
sort and said that A&M had a
number of memorials to the war
dead and that another is sched
uled to be dedicated soon.
All these, he noted, are
“much more fitting than the mere
reading off of a bunch of names.”
In a roll call vote, Henderson’s
amendment was defeated, 29-24.
The senators went on to approve
Fitzhugh’s resolution in another
roll call, 45-10.
Fitzhugh opposed the amend
ment, saying at first that he did
not see how Henderson’s state
ment was that much different
from his own and that his (Fitz
hugh’s) was shorter in length.
Then he added that he object
ed to the amendment because it
either implies that the right of
dissent has been denied at A&M,
which is false, or that it puts the
Senate in the position of ratifying
the U.S. Constitution, which is
ludicrous.
Senator Leon Devlon (grad)
then proposed that the senate
send the following letter to Pres
ident Rudder commending him for
referring the Moratorium ques
tion to the senate:
“The Texas A&M Student Sen
ate would like to extend to Pres
ident Rudder and the Executive
Committee our compliments for
their wisdom in permitting issues
of this magnitude to be discussed
and handled by students. Great
issues pertaining to students be
ing handled by students is indeed
a fine gesture. We welcome fur
ther consideration.”
Jim Stephenson (sr-LA) sup
ported Henderson, noting that
A&M isn’t one of the more prog
ressive schools in the field of
student rights and adding that
some individuals on campus feel
that a student’s right to express
himself is limited a little more
than by those boundaries set by
the constitution.
“What individuals,” Fitzhugh
asked, “and in what cases has
freedom of expression been lim
ited?”
“Dress is a form of freedom
of expression,” Weaver replied.
Before a vote was taken on
Henderson’s amendment, Weaver
was asked what the students
planned to do for the Morato
rium.
Henderson replied that he had
been told that they would spon
sor a debate between one who
advocated the administration’s
position on the Vietnam war and
one who dissented. They would
also wear black armbands in
mourning for the war dead and
read a list of the names of those
who had died in Vietnam.
Fitzhugh maintained that the
senate should not involve itself
in “political squabbles” of this
The senate approved the letter
unanimously.
Concerning football seating, the
senate put together two plans
that Collier (Doc) Watson pre
sented in his Student Life com-
mitte report and authorized the
new system for the Baylor game,
Oct. 25.
Briefly, the major points of the
plan for ticket distribution (and
hence, football seating) are these:
A student may buy tickets ac
cording to his academic classifi
cation as stated on his: activity
card, or according to the first
digits of his identification card,
whichever he prefers. This way
a student may obtain tickets
either by his academic standing
or his tenure at A&M. Thus an
academically classified junior may
obtain tickets at the same time
as seniors if the first two digits
of his ID card are “66.” If his
first two digits are “67,” however,
and he is still a junior academic
ally, he must get tickets at the
same time as juniors.
Both ID cards and activity
cards are still required to pur
chase tickets.
A student having a date with
another who attends A&M may
purchase tickets on the day for
which the oldest ID card is eligi-

Editor:
On Oct. 9, 1969, the Student
Senate voted to deny the College
of Education representation with
in the Senate under the premise
that the College was already
represented by the senators from
the College of Liberal Arts.
Other reasons presented by one
“noted” senator were that there
are already too many senators
in the senate and that the Elec
tion Commission had illegally
allowed the filing of students for
these positions.
I personally feel that in de-
Residence Hall Roundup
feating the amendment as pre
sented by Senator Jackson to
allow the College of Education
representation, that the senate
acted in a negative manner. The
College of Education, now sepa
rate from the College of Liberal
Arts, is entitled to representation
from members of their own col
lege. The 900 students within the
college were definitely denied this
right.

Special to the Battalion
All re|Sidence halls have com
pleted the elections of hall coun
cils and with the approach of
home football games are planning
activities for those weekends.
Also plans for bonfire partici
pation are being organized in
most residence halls.
Last week competition began
in Class C. intramural sports.
More interest has been shown
this year with several halls en
tering more than one team in
some events. Several of the fall
semester activities are flag foot
ball, bowling and handball.
A couple of residence halls have
sponsored steak frys for the resi
dents of their hall.
On Sept. 26, Davis-Gary Hall
co-sponsored a steak fry with
Squadron 6 of the Corps of Ca
dets. Gordon Smyth, President of
Davis-Gary, and Bill Hall, com
manding officer of Squadron 6,
both felt that this event has
helped bring unity among Aggies.
Each expressed hope that resi
dence halls and Corps outfits can
work together in sponsoring
events to unite Aggies.
As for the other points pre
sented, I can only express that
reasoning behind them was
neither sound nor substantiated.
The Election Commission acted
upon the recommendation of the
Student Senate Executive Com
mittee and within good faith. As
far as the size of the senate—I
can only express my disbelief!
I personally regret the action
that the senate took regarding
the proposed amendment and hope
that the situation can soon be
rectified.

senior coed may use her ID to
purchase tickets on the day tick
ets are available to seniors. He
would also be able to sit in her
section.
Students may take three ID
cards and three activity cards
to the ticket window to buy tick
ets. This allows a maximum of
three student tickets and three
dates tickets to be purchased.
The consideration section shall
be sections 238 and 239. Any

anyone who does not wish to

and will be available to all stu
dents on the first day of ticket
sales, and all days thereafter in
which tickets are sold.
Tickets shall be sold on days
designated by the Athletic Busi
ness Office. Seniors and graduate
students will be able to purchase
tickets on the first day with
juniors, sophomores and fresh
men able to purchase tickets, re
spectively, on the three succeed

The senate defeated a consti
tutional amendment that would
have authorized the newly-formed
College of Education to have three
representatives in the senate.
Nokomis (Butch) Jackson,
chairman of the Election Com
mission, proposed the amend
ment “because it’s only fair that
this group have some form of
representation in the senate.”
Other senators disagreed,
among them Fitzhugh, who said
that this would be giving a large
number of people formerly in
Liberal Arts a chance to vote
again.
He said that Liberal Arts rep
resentatives could represent the
College of Education this year,
or at least until figures are avail
able to determine the number of
students enrolled in both the Col
lege of Education and Liberal
Arts. A decision on the number
of senate representatives for each
college could be determined then,
he said.
The amendment failed to get
the two thirds margin required
for adoption and Jackson, who
had allowed students to file for
College of Education positions oh
the advice of the Senate Execu
tive Committee, was instructed to
inform those students that the
offices were not yet established.

The average theater-goer has
only a vague knowledge of what
goes on back stage while he is
watching the performers. “Dinny
and the Witches” has a cast of
14, yet 48 people have been work
ing since September 15 to meet
the October 14 opening. For six
nights, the full run of the play,
all 48 people will be on hand to
sell tickets, show people to their
seats, create the illusion of two
hail storms, make a trumpet play
er out of someone who has never
played a trumpet before, create
thunder and shooting stars, and
bring on night and day with the
wave of a hand.
“ . . . But what is your secret—it must be something be
sides just studying!”
In most major productions, the
director is in charge through
dress rehearsal. At this time, the
stage manager takes over back
stage. Each divides the work into
several categories. In addition to
the cast, there’s a light crew,
responsible for all lighting ef
fects. Sound for a show also has
a specific crew. Its real work be
gins with the opening itself.
There are also crews for sets,
costumes and publicity. They
work right up to show time, after
which their assigned jobs are
normally finished and they move
to the door and ticket booth to
help the house crew. There’s also
a properties crew whose work
isn’t finished until the show is
over. It is responsible for finding
or building all movable props and
making sure they are in the right
places during the show.
