ON OTHER CAMPUSES
By Monty Stanley
A student at the University of
Oklahoma last week was fined
$50 and given a 30-day suspended
jail sentence on a charge of being
disrespectful to a police officer.
According to the Oklahoma Daily,
the young man, who has since quit
school, allegedly stuck his tongue
out at a Norman, Okla., police
man. The defendant’s story—he
was attempting to jaywalk across
the street when the officer drove
past in his patrol car. As a nerv
ous habit, he licked his lips just
as the ofifcer drove by. The pa
trolman maintained that the stu
dent made a “deliberate gesture
of disrespect.”
Some places,
even the girls
get discriminated
against for their
hair. At a place f ^
called Ernie’s ?
Town Tavern at t ^ 'SLrv P
n
at
OU, one girl was
refused service by
a waitress because her hair, ap
parently naturally curly, had been
teased up into something that
looked kind of like a cross be
tween Spanish moss and steel
wool. A boycott of the tavern is
now planned because of the inci
dent.

Students at Oakland Communi
ty College in Farmington, Mich.,
are complaining again—this time
about the cafeteria. The school
offers a degree in Food Service,
and one of the requirements for
this degree is a four-hour credit
course under the head of the Food
Service program. This course is
technically offered as a chance
to spend time in the “food serv
ices lab,” which is the cafeteria’s
kitchen, but what it amounts to
apparently, is free work from the
students involved. Things would
be different if the course were
taught down here—A&M would
probably charge them a “lab fee”
to work in the kitchen.

Texas Tech is in about the op
posite kind of situation that A&M
is in at least in one respect—on-
campus housing. As a matter of
fact, one of the dormitories is up
for sale. Robby’s Dormitory, built
in 1966, a period of rapid growth
on the Tech campus,, was built by
a group of Dallas investors ex
pecting more growth. Now,
they’re trying to interest the uni
versity into taking over the build
ing as some sort of education cen
ter.

Tech’s Student Senate was
blasted last week by the chair
man of the school’s Vietnam Mo
ratorium Committee for its re
fusal to discuss either a pro or
con resolution concerning the No
vember Moratorium. Said the
Lubbock senior, the act was “in
dicative of the Student Senate’s
usual role of skirting any issue
of importance.”
★ ★ ★
The Tech Junior Council had
a rather unique method of rais
ing money last week. They sent
chicks out to shine shoes. A shine
cost 35 cents and, depending on
the girl giving it, could well be
worth the expense. Now there’s
something that would go over
big at A&M.

The editor of the Arizona State
University paper, the State Press,
was fired Oct. 11, according to a
CPS report, because of a dispute
over censorship by the school’s
Journalism Department. It seems
there is much disagreement over
the nature and role of the State
Press. While the editor and the
Student Government felt that it
is a “student newspaper, staffed
by and written for the students
of Arizona State University,” the
head men in the Journalism De
partment contend that it should
be considered a “workshop for
their students’ training.”

rect student numbers or incorrect
class ranks.” When the candidate
offered to personally call every
one of the 176 invalidated stu
dents and obtain the correct in
formation needed to verify their
students and obtain the correct
information needed to verify their
signatures, a member of the elec
tion committee said this was un
acceptable and that when a candi
date handed in a petition, it was
final.

At the University of Florida,
at least one practical joker has
capitalized on the mysterious
stories going around concerning
the Beatles. This student, the vice
president of a fraternity, report
ed that he had called the phone
number given in code on the Ser
geant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts
Club record album. (The coded
number, 212 OUR LOVE, corres
ponds to New York area code,
number 687-5683). Friends cir
culated the story that this guy
had called the number and told
the answerer about the clues he
had deciphered from various
Beatle songs and album covers,
and that he had been given a
secret message—others were sup
posed to figure it out for them
selves, he had been ordered.
A prospective candidate for the
office of executive vice president
of the Student Government Asso
ciation of Long Island Univer
sity, New York had been kicked
off the ballot because “176 of the
366 signatures submitted” with
his petition for office were ruled
“invalid, due to illegibility incor-
He did reveal that he was sup
posed to be picked up by a black
limousine last Saturday at 7 p.m.
Needless to say, when the car
arrived, there were quite a few
witnesses. About 150 people fol
lowed the chauffer into the fra
ternity house and watched as he
presented an envelope to the vice
president, who then brought his
luggage out to the limousine. As
it turned out, the limousine had
been rented by the fraternity for
the hoax, but that wasn’t found
out until later. At that time, the
number of sightseers had grown
to 300. They were told that he
would be taken to Jacksonville,
and then to a small island off the
coast of Scotland where a new
religious cult is said to be gath
ering disciples—the real Pepper-
land spoken of in Yellow Sub
marine.
VOTE DRIVE
LEADERSHIP
(Continued from page 1)
With the holidays close at hand,
many people will be involved in
the festivities and forget to reg
ister to vote or think that their
one vote is irrelevant, Maskal
said.
Dean of Students James P.
Hannigan said today that he had
given approval for the voter reg
istration booths in the MSC and
the Academic building with the
stipulation that the booths would
be run by A&M students for non
political purposes.
He said that Maskal, Christina
Alvarez and Robert M. Sabin re
quested permission Wednesday to
conduct the drive on campus.
Hannigan said he also requested
the group not to collect the reg
istration forms, only to pass them
out, leaving the responsibility for
getting them to county tax-as
sessor-collector offices with the
registrants.
He said that the students
agreed to pass out forms indis
criminately, not concentrating on
any particular group.
Hannigan added that he was
very much in favor of the idea
of encouraging students to reg
ister.
Maskal said that some of the
students manning the booths
would be wearing black armbands
in observance of the November
Moratorium but that this activity
was in no way connected with
the drive.
Maskal, himself a member of
the Campus Committee of Con
cern (CCOC) which organized the
local observance of the Oct. 15
Moratorium, said the committee
was “an organizer” of the drive,
“but not for the purpose of giv
ing our views on the moratorium
or Vietnam.”
“The main thing,” said Maskal,
“is to get the people involved
with the issues and to get them
to vote on them.”
(Continued from page 1)
The size of the groups has not
yet been determined, Hawthorne
said, but he added that the groups
would be as large as needed to
solve the problems.
The groups will be picked by
random selection methods, Haw
thorne said.
Delegates to the conference will
be students who have leadership
qualities and will be selected after
the Thanksgiving holidays, he
said. Qualifications for delegates
have not yet been decided but the
selection committee will consist
of six students, one member of
the faculty and one of the ad
ministration, Hawthorne said.
He added that there would be
90 delegates to the conference.

The students of Washington
State University are complaining
because their book store only
gives them a discount of four per

ton book store, they argue, offers
an eight per cent discount on all
