We’re guard ing the guards!” Revised Directory Now Available Revised student sections of the 1969-70 Texas A&M University Directory will be available Fri day, announced University In formation Director Jim Lindsey. Lindsey said the supplements will be issued free of charge to persons presenting coupons printed on Page 175 of the basic directory. The coupons can be redeemed at the Student Publications De partment in the Services Build ing or the Exchange Store. Lindsey emphasized the re vised student section is not for sale independently. It can only be purchased in conjunction with the basic directory, which is still available, he explained. Listings in the revised section reflect late enrollments and changes in residence hall room assignments, Lindsey noted. ★ ★ ★ Laundry Bundle Change Announced A change in the A&M Laun dry’s bundle policy will allow the substitution of fatigue jackets of Cadet Corps members or labora tory coats of veterinary students for regular shirts. Howard Perry, director of civil ian student activities, said the policy change, approved by the University Laundry Committee, will allow two lab coats or two fatigue jackets to be sent at no extra charge; or a combination of one lab or fatigue jacket and two shirts; or five shirts and no jackets. Any excess of shirts or jack ets, Perry said, will be charged at 10 cents per shirt and 25 cents per jacket, using the least expen sive item for the excess charge. Perry said the change was made because the two items are required for certain areas of in struction. ★ ★ ★ Dr. Timm Receives TFB Service Award Dr. Tyrus R. Timm, head of the Agricultural Economics and Sociology Department, was pre sented the Texas Farm Bureau Distinguished Service Award during a recent TFB Convention in San Antonio. The highest honor given by the Texas Farm Bureau, the award has been presented to only four previous recipients during the en tire 36-year history of the state farm organization. Tim is in charge of all resident instruction, research and Exten sion work of his 50-member de partment. He received his BS and MS degrees at Texas A&M and a doctorate in public administration at Harvard University. He has also done graduate work at Iowa State University. Sidney Dean of Victoria, TFB president, said Timm’s contribu tions to education and agriculture have earned him more than 13 major awards and honors. He has contributed 25 articles to popular and technical publications. ON OTHER CAMPUSES imi R Wve . 1 Keen Licked By Monty Stanley University of Texas students last week voted in a referendum on whether or not non-students will be allowed to use Texas Union facilities in the future. The necessity for the decision came about a little over a week ago, after it had been announced that the Union cafeteria, the Chuck Wagon, would be open only to TU students, faculty, and guests accompanying them. The student day manager stood at the en trance of the restaurant checking identification, and was pushed aside by one entering patron, a former student, who had none. When asked to leave, he refused. He then resisted the campus se curity police when they arrived, and finally two additional officers were called in to help arrest the man. Students’ opin ions on the mat ter varied from one extreme to the other. Some felt that it was about time they did something about the problem which helped overcrowding in the place, while others felt that since the univer sity affects the city and is sup ported by the state, anyone should have a right to come there. Among those who were refused service were several Texas exes, who even presented their Ex-Stu dents’ Association cards but were still denied admission. The Student Assembly at TU appropriated $150 which it gave to the Student Mobilization Com mittee for advertising in the Dai- Black Students (Continued from page 1) tion three times within the last year, “is identical to the name of the group that at this time has fallen into disrepute nationally,” according to Hannigan. He cited as an example the 1963 riots at Columbia University in which a group called the Afro- American Society took part. There was also a local incident last December, Hannigan noted, in which Terry Lewis Ardery, identified as a Houston worker for the Student Non-violent Co ordinating Committee (SNCC), was arrested for carrying a pistol on licensed premises. “The main argument for recog nition of such a group,” Hannigan said, “would likely be that an on- campus club could assist new black students in adjusting to a predominantly white campus.” He noted that the university policy on recognition of campus organizations has always ex cluded clubs of ethnic, religious, or political nature. Hannigan said that he favors the Black Student Committee over the Afro-American Society be cause it encourages desegregation. Referring to other universities which have no restrictions on campus organizations — such as the University of Texas—he con tended that the Afro-American Society tends to segregate the black student body from the rest of the school population. Hopefully, agreed Hannigan and Perry, a new Committee on Black Student Affairs can iron out the rough spots in communi cating complaints against the ad ministration and perhaps even enhance the relationships among A&M black students.

A restraining order was issued by the Austin district court, and the money ordered back into SA funds by the House of Delegates. A fashion store near Tarrant County Junior College is called the Thread Shed. At the University of Florida, only 471 students, or slightly more than two percent of the total enrollment of 21,000 for the fall quarter, have elected to take courses on a pass-fail basis. The light turnout, according to the Florida Alligator, was not unex pected, as there has never been over three to five percent partici pation in the program, according to one of the assistant deans. However, this figure may not be an accurate indication of interest in or value of the program. Be cause of the requirements which must be met by the student in order to sign up for a pass-fail course, many students are ineli gible for the program. In addi tion, many schools in the uni versity system will not accept students on the pass-fail basis. The editor of the University of Florida yearbook has threatened to drop the junior class section from the Seminole’s pages if more students don’t show up to have their pictures taken. by their residency contract to shave regularly (“occasional lapses must not be prolonged or become habit”), and that haircuts must be kept trim and clean and combed. Unshaven residents, say the officials, will not be served the designated meals. ★ ★ ★ The Black Studies Department at San Francisco State College is doing so well that president S. I. Hayakawa is in kind of a jam. According to a CPS report, the flourishing department is auto nomous and is headed by a man fired in June by Hayakawa. More than 1,000 students are enrolled for its courses. ★ ★ ★ The Faculty Senate Committee of SMU has reversed the earlier announced decision that a sympo sium on drug use and abuse plan ned last spring be cancelled. An invitation will be re-extended to drug proponent Timothy Leary, who will support the drug use side. His speech will be followed the next night by an assembly on the dangers of drug abuse. The battle isn’t over yet, how ever, because the second assembly will be addressed by two speak ers, as opposed to Leary’s single performance. Here Tonight A film featuring Texas A&M will be shown at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. tonight in Room 100, the large lecture hall, in the Chemis try building. “We’ve Never Been Licked” featuring William Frawley and Robert Mitchum was filmed on campus in 1949. The film is a story about a student who comes to A&M dur ing World War II and in his sen ior year is accused of spying by his fellow Aggies and so he goes off and joins the Japan ese forces. Many of the traditions of A&M are included in the movie, said Paul Scopel, chairman of the MSC Travel Committee Overseas Loan Fund. Scopel said admission to the showing will be 50 cents with the proceeds g o i n g to the fund which loans money to students who wish to go overseas to work or participate in exchange pro grams. Money loaned under this fund, Scopel said, does not have to be paid back until the student has finished school and then at a low rate of interest. ★ ★ ★ The activities of the University of Houston Scuba Club include diving in the University Center fountain, often used like a wish ing well, to collect money for the United Fund.
