light.
"Love has to stand the yard
stick of time,” Dr. Sidney Hamil
ton said in the first session of
four-part YMCA sponsored
tries. “Infatuation comes quick-
jly, love not nearly so.”
! The adage, don’t worry about
thether you’re in love or not;
louil know when the time comes’
incorrect,” he told a crowd of
00 in the Memorial Student Cen-
HU.. >r ballroom.
In answer to the question,
How can I be sure I’ll find the
ight person,” he said, “Don’t
[orry, be the right person. And
on’t worry about being in love,
jst be lovable.”

marriage sex is less a toy and
more of an emotional-blending,
giving, experience.
There are, however, differences
in the male and female ways of
viewing love, he said. “To a man,
love is sex. To a woman, sex is
love.”
According to Hamilton, a wo
man is much more passionate than
a man and much more concerned
with the real meaning of sex,
the giving part.
“Men are less concerned with
giving in sexual intercourse,” he
said.
The best view of giving in love
is “As I become empty of my
self, I will be filled with happi
ness,” a quote from a peasant
woman, he said.
Problems in a marirage are
caused mainly by inability of the
husband and wife to communi
cate. When it comes to talking
with each other, the only differ
ence between a man and a woman
is that “a man can throw a stone
further, and whistle louder. That
is not a hell of a lot of differ
ence,” he said.

ence of helping people with prob-

“It’s patronage,” Rep. Wayne
said, “but it’s necessary to have
key people in key places to keep
the legislation flowing. The
speaker collects pledges for the
next session or two while he is
appointing committees.
“It takes a lot of money to run
a campaign,” Rep. Wayne said.
“Lots of people contribute money
and so do the lobbies, but all
they ask in return is that the
speaker be fair.”
“A speaker usually serves one
or two terms, sometimes three,”
he said. “But first get reelected
in his district.”

In Town Hall Special Attraction

Spiral Starecase Here Monday
The Spiral Starecase will be on
the A&M campus Monday for a
Town Hall-sponsored TAMU Spe
cial Attraction performance.
The five-member group, which
recorded “More Today Than Yes
terday,” will play at 8 p.m. in
G. Rollie White Coliseum.
Since the Starecase perform
ance is a special attraction, all
who wish to attend must purchase
tickets, Town Hall chairman Rex
GREAT SAVINGS PLANS made

Stewart noted. He added that
season tickets and student activ
ity cards will not admit a person
to the show.
Tickets, at $1 each, are on sale
at the Memorial Student Center
Student Program Office, he said.
“More Today Than Yesterday”
was the group’s second record.
It stayed on the charts for more
than 20 weeks, establishing the
Spiral Starecase as a top record
ing group.
They have played at Frank
Sinatra’s birthday party in Las
Vegas, Nev., at packed houses
across the nation and with almost
every top group, including their
personal favorite, the Rascals.
The Starecase has signed to
perform in the 14,000-seat Salt
Palace, Salt Lake City’s top spot
for performing groups. They han
dle blues, rock and soul tunes
with equal ease.
The group, introduced six years
ago in a Sacramento, Calif., night
club, was organized by Richard
Lopes, who plays saxaphone and
assists with vocals.
Lead singer Pat Upton plays
guitar and writes all the songs
for the group. Bob Raymond is
bass guitarist and background
vocalist, while Vinnie Panariello
provides drum accompaniment
and Harvey Kaye plays the organ.
All five are in their 20’s.
The latest Spiral Starecase re
lease, on Columbia, is “She’s
Ready” which is already on the
charts.
Faculty Consent Asked
In Choice of President
By Dave Mayes
Battalion Editor
The A&M Board of Directors
has been requested to “enlist the
aid and consent of the faculty”
in selecting the next university
president in a resolution unani
mously adopted Wednesday by
the campus chapter of the Ameri
can Association of University
Professors.
Introduced by Philosophy De
partment Head Dr. Manuel M.
Davenport, chairman of “Commit
tee T” on college and university
government, the resolution quotes
from a 1967 AAUP statement
approved by the American Coun
cil of Education and the Associ
ation of Governing Boards of
Universities and Colleges.
“Joint effort of a most critical
kind must be taken when an in
stitution chooses a new president.
The selection of a chief adminis
trative officer should follow upon
cooperative search by the govern
ing board and faculty, taking into
consideration the opinions of
others who are appropriately in
terested.”
The measure added that since
the board said it was seeking “the
most qualified person in the
United States,” the directors
should “seek the advice and con
sent of the faculty” in both the
search for the new persident and
the final selection.
former veterinary anatomy pro
fessor.
Gibbs charged that the univer
sity relieved him from teaching
and gave him a research assign
ment without academic due proc
ess. This incident resulted in the
April, 1968, censuring of A&M
by the national AAUP.
A faculty hearing was held on
the Gibbs case in September of
that year, and the results for
warded to then A&M President
Earl Rudder.
Hopkins said that the meeting
between Byers and the AAUP
representative was prompted by
a request Rudder had made last
fall that the local chapter of the
AAUP help get A&M off the
censured list.
Though the meeting was held
and some progress made, Hop
kins said he doubted whether the
session would result in the AAUP
lifting the censure from A&M
this year.
Though he said he did not
know exactly how A&M could
be removed from censure, he and
others mentioned that one thing
which the AAUP required that
the university has not done was
to have the A&M Board of Di
rectors take final action on the
Gibbs case.
Hopkins said that the board
had asked the Coordinating Board
of Texas Colleges and University
whether it had to review the
case, and the coordinating board
replied that the directors didn’t.
The board then decided that it
wasn’t going to review the case
if it didn’t have to, Hopkins said.
The board, he said, merely “ac
cepted” the recommendation of
the faculty committee, instead of
hearing the case as appealed to
it by Gibbs.
Davenport said that when he
talked to President Rudder some
time after the faculty hearings
were completed, Rudder had told
him that he thought he could

Krise, speaking for a colleague,
told the 25 faculty members pres
ent, that he favored the resolu
tion but wondered whether the
time for the measure was now.
“It seems that for the first time
in my 11-year tenure here,” Dr.
Krise said, “a situation has arisen
which now brings the faculty and
junior administrative officers
close together.”
“The deans are being left in
a bind,” he said. “They’re not
being involved in making this
decision and they’re not liking
it very much.”
Krise added that his colleague
questioned whether this was the
time to “rock the boat,” an action
which could remove “any possible
help” from the administration in
getting the board to agree to en
list the aid of the faculty.
Krise and others also question
ed whether the resolution, after
it was passed, should be released
to the press for much the same
reasons.
After the resolution was pass
ed, Krise and others also ques
tioned whether it should be re
leased to the press, noting that
it would ony seem fair to board
members that they receive the
resolution before they read about
it in a newspaper.
Following some discussion, the
members agreed not to withhold
the resolution. As one put it, “It
would be better that we make
this resolution known now, before
we ourselves read in the papers
that a new president has been
named.”
Earlier in the meeting, AAUP
President Sewell H. Hopkins,
biology professor, gave a report
of a February meeting between
an AAUP national representa
tive and Academic Vice President
Dr. Horace Byers concerning the
case of Dr. Leon W. Gibbs, a
Procedures necessary to ob
tain day student status for the
1970-71 school year were out
lined Wednesday by Associate
Dean of Students Don R. Staf
ford.
Stafford noted that university
policy says that an undergradu
ate student must live on campus
unless married or living with a
member of his immediate fami
ly. The exceptions, he said, are
if a student must live off cam
pus for medical reasons or be
cause his job requires it.
Any day students who wishes
to continue his status next year
must reapply at the Housing Of
fice between April 13-24, Staf
ford said. Cadets wishing to
renew their status must go by
Room 105 Military Science
Building during the same time
period.
Students applying for renewal
for job reasons should have a
letter from their employer veri
fying employment during 1970-
71, Stafford said, and students
under 21 must have a parental
letter of approval.
Married students living in uni
versity married student apart
ments may obtain applications at
the Apartment Manager’s office,
Stafford said. The forms will
need to be presented during
housing pre-registration for ap
proval, he added.
Civilian or cadet students now
living in residence halls who
wish to become day students next
year may apply between April
27-May 1, Stafford said. Civil
ians should go by Room 105 Mil
itary Sciences. Appropriate let
ters should be presented, he said.
Immediate action will be tak
en on day student renewal ap
plications, the dean said, but new
applications will not be acted up
on until after the fall pre-regis
tration period closes.
New applicants should sign up
for a dormitory room pending
final action on their applications,
Stafford said, and day students
who wish to become residence
hall students should report at
once to the Housing Office and
fill out a room application for
the fall semester.
Honor Council, Weekend
On CSC Agenda Tonight
Appointment of a civilian honor
council by Civilian Student Coun
cil President Mark Olson will be
one of the major items of business
at tonight’s CSC meeting at 7 in
Room 3D of the Memorial Student
Center.
According to Olson, the council
will deal with charges of honor
code violations by civilian stu
dents.
Olson said the CSC constitu
tion states that the honor council
is to be appointed by the CSC
president and that it had not been
appointed in the past two years
because there were no honor code
violations. Recently, two serious
violations have been committed
and that is the reason for the
honor council appointments at
this time, Olson said.
He said that he asked for rec
ommendations and that he took
those that were recommended in
to consideration when he chose
the appointments.
Other business scheduled in
cludes laying out plans for the
visit of “Andrew Fabacher” April
17, discussion of cap and gown
sales, which will be handled by
the CSC, and the making of final
plans for civilian weekend.
