THE BATTALION r , Arktr r r cjt cittcij Page 2 College Station, Texas Tuesday, December 2, 1969 A ljAjxJMA by Jim Earle A Senator Speaks Misinterpretations About North Gate By Kent Caperton Student Senate Vice President When originally planning this column, I had intended to orient it primarily as an introduction for the series of columns which will follow in subsequent issues of The Battalion. However, I feel that the considerable reac tion evoked by the senate’s ac tion concerning community mer chants merits some comment. Never before has any direct, structured communication been established between the com munity and the students of TAMU. Some students feel, and perhaps rightly so, that they are being taken advantage of by cer tain local merchants, and there was considerable displeasure with the lack of enthusiastic coopera tion on the part of certain mer chants when asked for Bonfire donations. But right now we don’t have fully complete information, for we haven’t personally talked to all those questioned merchants. Furthermore, several merchants have personally spoken with me saying that they weren’t even approached concerning Bonfire contributions. Thus to say that the Student Senate is investigating North Gate merchants (as one local pa per, and not the Batt, reported) is not really correct. To say that the senate is seeking to establish channels of communi cation, to work with the mer chants to remove any irregulari ties that do exist, and to pro mote mutual cooperation is cor rect. Operation Feedback has prov en to be quite valuable to this year’s senate and one basic point has been made very clear—there are extremely poor communica tions between the Student Sen ate and the student body. The senate has failed to make its actions known to the student body and the result is that most students don’t know what — if anything — the senate does. In an effort to alleviate this situation, the senate, in coopera tion with The Battalion, will run a series of columns for seven days, outlining the major areas of senate action taken by the standing committees, as well as general areas of senate concen tration. We hope the students will en joy and learn from these col umns and we invite any com ments and/or questions. HO FOOT3AL TALK TONIGHT Political Science Club will meet at 8 p.m. in the Poltitical Science Dept. Room 201C, YMCA.

The council also accepted a $25 gift to an MSC special account, and $75 in gifts to the Fifteenth Student Conference on National Affairs. Acceptance of both items came at the recommenda tion of Gary F. Fairchild, gift committee chairman.

Of that number, about 260,000, or 46 per cent, will be drafted, by present estimates. For 1971, the new draft pool will be somewhat smaller, includ ing only those who turn 19 dur ing 1970. No estimate has yet been made public of the 1971 draft calls. President Nixon has announc ed that his goal is eventually to eliminate the draft entirely and rely on an all-volunteer army.
