THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas
CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle
*‘1 think we’re get ting close, but let’s go back to our assump

Part of Statement Passed
(Continued from page 1)
last 3,000 or so the Executive
Committee has considered.
The senate passed two other
parts of the statement of student
rights and responsibilities; one
concerned student participation
in the decision-making processes
of the university, the other, with
student publications.
The statement maintained that
“committees which deal directly
with student activities and inter
ests shall have student represen
tatives on their membership with
full voting power.”
These include, the statement
said, the Calendar Committee,
Board of Publications, Religious
Life and Work, and Student Cen
ter Council. Others on which stu
dents should be non-voting advi
sory members are Athletic Coun
cil, Admissions Committee, Cur
riculum Committee, Library Com
mittee, Scholarship and Student
Aid Committee.
Concerning student publica
tions, the senate agreed that the
“student press shall be free of
censorship” and that at the end
of each years they should make
public information concerning
their financial conditions. The
statement added that editorial
freedom of student editors “neces
sitates corollary responsibility
governed by the canons of jour
nalism.”
The senate is scheduled to con
sider next Thursday the rest of
the statement, containing sections
on off-campus freedom of stu
dents, standards in disciplinary
proceedings and disciplinary sanc
tions.
Senators defeated a constitu
tional amendment that would
place a representative from the
University Women Executive
Committee on the senate.

Editor:
I have noticed that The Bat
talion has repeatedly referred to
the Fish Drill Team as the Texas
A&M Freshman Drill Team. This
occurred in the April 8 issue and
in several other recent issues. In
one article the members of the
Fish Drill Team were referred to
as “frosh.” They are Fish and
damn proud of it. I cannot under
stand why the Battalion makes
this mistake so often unless the
name of the team has been of
ficially changed. The 1970 Fish
Drill Team, like those of past
years, is of National Champion
ship quality and deserves to be
called by its correct name.

Editor:
On Thursday, April 9, 1970,
the Student Senate of Texas A&M
University refused to allow the
students of Texas A&M Univer
sity to take part in a fast. This
fast was to be used as a means
of obtaining money to be sent to
Vietnam for the relief of widows
and orphans who are victims of
a war that they have no control
over. The Student Senate has re-
Overpopulation
elected in the coming spring elec
tion. Since the senate representa
tive would be a UW officers, he
said, this new senator would be
elected from the coeds.
Head Yell Leader Sam Torn and
others argued, however, that if
UW gets a seat on the senate,
then so should the athletes, black
students and numerous other in
terested groups.
Although the senate approved
the amendment 46-14, it was nine
votes short of the three-fourths
majority necessary.
In other business, the senate
rejected a resolution by Craig
Bradley asking that students be
allowed to miss meals in dining
halls April 15 and send the money
received from food services re
imbursements to civilians in Viet
nam.
Representing a group working
on the “peace fast” was Sandy
Broder, who asked the senate to
give students a chance to express
their opinions about the war by
participating in the fast if they
want to.
“Take the first step,” he urg
ed, “for too long the senate has
done only what the administra
tion has dictated.”
Broder said that the money
collected would be given to the
American Friends Service, a
Quaker organization. They would
distribute the food brought to
both North and South Vietnam
ese. None would go to soldiers,
he said.
A number of senators objected
to the sending of anything to
“aid and comfort” the enemy.
Jay Hubert, grad) charged that
the Friends Committee has sent
numerous supplies from Canada
to North Vietnam in the past.
Lynn Odom (sr-BA) said that
America was at war, whether de
clared or not, and that these sup
plies could be used by North Viet
namese troops. “I cannot see
sending supplies to the enemy,”
he said.
Senate President Gerry Geist-
weidt called for a voice vote and
the resolution was defeated with
a loud “no”.
(Continued from page 1)
Geyer said, comes from the
nuclear reactor power plants on
the coasts.
These plants, while they do not
put any chemicals into the water,
do release water that has been
used for cooling the generators.
The increase in heat is sufficient
to kill or at least injure sea life
close by, he said.
Geyer commented that rivers
close to the coast that were
dammed or diverted for the pur
pose of electrical power produc
tion can break up the estuary
cycle which also is harmful to
sea life.
Despite this, Geyer said, people
are the biggest offenders in the
coastal zones; not industries.
Geyer said that there was a
connection between healthy beach
resorts and sociological problems.
Seventy per cent of the nation’s
population lives within an hour’s
drive of beaches,” he said. “Un
less we have clean and adequate
beaches, we will not solve our
sociological problems. If people
can’t go to the beach to let off
steam, it builds up inside of them,
then they let it erupt in the city
as discontent.”
Geyer said that he felt that
all this could be alleviated by
regulation of the coastal zones.
“At present there are no ef
ficient mechanisms to regulate
the multiple uses of the coastal
zones,” Geyer said. “The best way
is on a state level. If this is not
done at the state level, then the
federal government will regulate
them.”

Bill Dubel, Hughes Hall, was

MIDNITE FROLIC SAT.
12 P. M.
After all is shed and
done, your soul may be
saved ... but your contacts
need help. They need Len-
sine. Lensine is the one con
tact lens solution for com
plete contact care... preparing,
cleansing, and soaking.
There was a time when you
needed two or more different lens
solutions to properly prepare and
maintain your contacts. No more.
Lensine, from The Murine Com
pany, makes caring for contact
lenses as convenient as wearing
them.
Just a drop or two of Lensine
coats and lubricates your lens.
This allows the lens to float more
freely in the eye, reducing tearful
irritation. Why? Because Lensine
is a compatible, “isotonic” solu
tion, very much like your eye’s nat
ural fluids.
Cleaning your contacts with
Lensine retards the build-up of
foreign deposits on the lenses.
And soaking your contacts in Len
sine between wearing periods as
sures you of proper lens hygiene.
You get a free soaking-storage
case with individual lens compart
ments on the bottom of every bot
tle of Lensine.
It has been demonstrated the
improper storage between wear-
ings permits the
growth of bacteria on
the lenses. This is a
sure cause of eye ir
ritation and in some
cases can endanger
your vision. Bacteria can
not grow in Lensine be
cause it’s sterile, self-sanitiz
ing, and antiseptic.
