Civilian students should reserve dorm rooms during the next three-week period if they wish to live on campus next fall, the Housing Office has announced. Allan M. Madeley, housing manager, released the schedule for room reservations in civilian residence halls in a memorandum to all civilian students. According to Madeley, students who wish to reserve rooms they now occupy should do so at the Housing Office by 4 p.m. Friday. Students wishing to reserve re maining available rooms in the residence halls they now occupy should see housing officials be tween 8 a.m. Monday and 4 p.m. April 22. Students who either have failed to reserve a room or who wish to change residence halls should report between 8 a.m. April 28 and 4 p.m. April 30. Only a limited number of residence hall changes will be authorized, and on a space available basis, Made- ley said. Madeley said that residence hall space is expected to be very critical for the fall of 1970 and that it is “imperative” that stu dents report to the Housing Of fice to reserve rooms in accord ance with the schedule. He added that students who fail to reserve a room will lose any priority in obtaining housing and will have GM Lowest Priced Cars $49.79 per mo.

Madeley also said that students who reserve a room but fail to pre-register for classes will be removed from the fall residence roster unless their pre-registra tion is blocked by their academic dean. Students whose pre-regis tration is blocked by their dean will remain on the fall roster providing they reserved a room according to the schedule. Students who reserve rooms but later decide to cancel must personally notify the Housing Of fice by July 31 in order to receive a refund on their room deposit. Cancellation date has been moved up to July 31 due to the earlier starting of classes this fall. Students now residing in resi dence halls who wish to become day students for the fall semester should obtain applications from their counselor during the period from April 27 through May 1. Such individuals should sign up for a residence hall room pending approval of their application, Madeley added. Recreation and Pa r ks Elects New Officers New officers have been elected by the Recreation and Parks Club for next fall. Jim Ellis, president; Mel Rapp, ag council representative; Jim Ferguson, vice president; Tom Shelton, secretary; Bill Stuewe, treasurer; Wayne Edwards, re porter-historian; and Mike Er win, social chairman, will take office at the May meeting. To Explain New Program Peace Corps Here Tuesday, April 14, 1970 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Page 3 YMCA Elects New Officers; Gets Change in Name, Too By Chancy Lewis Battalion Staff Writer Three Peace Corps recruiters will be on campus this week to interview students interested in earning hours toward a bache lor’s degree while working as a Peace Corps volunteer. Area director Bill Combs and two others will man an informa tion center from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday through Friday in the Memorial Student Center. Under the new program, spon sored jointly by A&M, the Peace Corps, and Peru, a college sopho more may earn up to 21 hours toward bachelor’s degrees in so ciology, secondary education, ag riculture or agricultural educa tion. In addition he may earn up to 12 hours of Spanish—making a total of 33 credit hours or one year’s work, earned in two years of service. Young men, to qualify, must be at least 20 and have completed at least 2 years of college or junior college work. Volunteers must have a minimum “C” aver age, an intimate knowledge of the “Latino” culture, and an FS-2 competency rating in Spanish. The rating is determined by a U.S. State Department language examination. The “2” indicates high fluency, Combs said. Those chosen will be invited to visit A&M for two days to con fer with their academic advisor and learn more about their serv ice in Peru, before making a final decision to enter Peace Corps training and services. Combs said volunteers will be gin training at A&M the first week in June with six weeks there then six weeks in-country training in Peru. Service will be gin in September of 1970 and end in July, 1972. Upon returning to A&M, the students who have completed their service will be granted scholarships for their tuition, fees, books as well as room and board. Scholarships will also cover tu ition and fees for Peace Corps training and service, Combs said. When he returns, he is expected to complete his required study and graduate in August 1973. In Peru, the volunteer will be taught Quechua, the native dia lect of the Andes where he will eventually be working with the Indians in co-operation with ag ricultural extension agents of the Peruvian Ministry of Agriculture. While the volunteer is in Peru he will be living in the Indian villages and working with the agricultural extension agent help ing the natives learn how to double their production of their most important crop—potatoes. He will teach them modern farming techniques including how to apply fertilizer, choose better potato seed, identfy and control plant disease and insects by using fungicides and pesticides, and use available credit systems through the Agricultural Devel opment Bank. He will be encouraged to be come involved in the communities in which he serves, Combs said.

This aspect of his work will be dependent totally on his own motivation, initiative, and drive. Pay for the volunteer will come in several phases. Transportation costs to and from Peru will be provided with travel allowances. In Peru, he will receive a monthly living allowance to cover food, shelter, clothing, and other per sonal necessities. Also included will be an $18 per month vacation allowance which is accumulated at the rate of two days for every month of service; that is, 48 days and $432 in allowances for the two years service. Each month of service and training satisfactorily completed will accumulate $75 to be set aside in the United States Month ly allotments can be set aside to cover the individual’s personal commitments; however, no more than one half the accumulated amount can be set aside for the monthly allotments.

Election of the officers of the 1970-71 YMCA cabinet and the announcement of a new name for the organization highlighted the group’s steak fry Monday night in Hensel Park. The organization will be known as the Texas A&M University Student ‘Y’ Association, Ed Don nell, president of the 1969-70 cabinet, said. “The name change doesn’t alter or affect our asso ciation with the national YMCA,” Donnell added. He said that the new name will be officially used with the new cabinet when it is installed. New president is Ronald E. Owens, a senior architectural con struction major from Wichita Falls. Owens is presently Squad ron 5 commander, chairman for special programs of the “Y” cabinet, and chairman of the speakers committee of the local chapter of the Association of General Contractors of America. Other officers elected were Chris W. Shaw, executive vice president; John Stephen Grain ger, vice president for planning; Samuel O. Olivarez, vice presi dent for operations; Daniel L. McQueen, vice president for pub lic relations; Marilyn Melcher, secretary; Burt Nix, treasurer; Kerry Hulse, chairman for re ligious programs; Don H. Boese, chairman for services; Don T. Brandon, Jr., chairman for con cessions; and Chuck Hall, chair man for human development. New chairman for freshman programs will be John Vogel sang. Donnell said that this chairmanship was an appointed position. FOR BEST RESULTS TRY BATTALION CLASSIFIED Apollo 13 Heading Back (Continued from page 1) began transferring to the lunar module. Lovell sounded the warning of the sudden emergency: “Houston, we’ve got a prob lem .... a problem with the on board electrical power system.” He then described the sudden power surge which knocked out two of the craft’s three electrici ty producing fuel cells. “We’ve had a very large bang associated with the caution and warning light,” he said. Within minutes, as the serious ness of the problem became known, Mission Control announc ed: “We are now looking toward an alternate mission, swinging around the moon and using the lunar module descent engine.” The astronauts reduced electri cal power drain in their damaged craft, even dimming the cabin lights to near darkness. Mission Control reassured the spacemen: “We’ve got lots and lots of people working on this. When we get some dope on it, you’ll be the first to know.” In a closed communications not piped to the public, flight di rector Glynn Lunney reported that the spacecraft was experi encing a rapidly falling oxygen supply pressure. A few moments later, he said, “It appears we’re going to have to live out of the lunar module.” The astronauts probably would remain in the Lunar module (LM) throughout the homeward trip, crawling into the command ship shortly before re-entry into the atmosphere. They could switch FOR BEST RESULTS TRY BATTALION CLASSIFIED on power at that time by using emergency batteries. The LM is built for two men to operate, but can accommo date three in such an emergen cy. The only person to die during a space flight was Russian cos monaut Vladimir Komarov, who was killed when the parachute of his Soyuz 1 spacecraft became tangled during re-entry through the atmosphere in April, 1967. Astronaut James A. Lovell re ported the loss of power was pre ceded by a large noise. “We’ve had a very large bang associated with the caution and warning light,” he said. “Houston, we’ve got a prob lem .... a problem with the on board electrical power system, flight commander Lovell report ed earlier from space. “We are now looking toward an alternate mission, swinging around the moon and using the lunar module descent engine,” a spokesman for the space agency said. Two of Apollo 13’s three fuel cells, which supply electricity, failed and the astronauts were relying partially on battery pow er. They were instructed to se verely reduce the power drain of the spacecraft, even to the point of turning down the lights in the cabin. Lovell Jr., Fred W. Haise Jr. and John L. Swigert Jr. also re ported that a gas was venting into space and that the oxygen gauge on one fuel cell was read ing zeroe, indicating oxygen to the cell was gone. Oxygen was also bleeding into space from the cabin and the astronauts were told to prepare to open a hatch door into the moon craft. This would enable them to breath oxygen from the moon lander.
