Students to begin
late registration
Students who did not pre
register for the fall semester will
begin delayed registration Mon
day, Aug. 24, and continue
through Friday, Aug. 28, Regis
trar Robert A. Lacey announced.
Classes will begin Monday, Aug.
31.
Returning students who pre
registered for the fall semester
were mailed class schedules this
summer upon payment of fees.
Lacey said delayed registra
tion procedures for returning stu
dents will be the same as last
spring. The registrar empha
sized that the procedure may be
initiated on any day of the week
of Aug. 24-28.
The returning student will ob
tain his card packet at his major
department, meet with an advisor
and arrange and schedule courses
to be taken this fall.
He will then report to one of
four housing locations and get a
fee data card. Male day stu
dents will report to the Legett
Hall lounge; women, the housing
office in the YMCA; civilian stu
dents, Hart Hall lounge, and
Cadet Corps dormitory students,
Lounge “B” between Dorms 2 and
4 in the Duncan area.
Students end the procedure by
turning in card packets and fee
data cards at registration head
quarters, Room 001 of the YMCA.
The president of the Building
Officials Association of Texas
(BOAT) contends the one-week
Municipal Inspectors Training
School conducted last week “up
graded the quality and education
of city inspectors.”
Truman Lyles, BOAT president
from Weslaco, said one of the
main purposes of the school was
to give inspectors a better under
standing of building codes, new
products and ideas.
“We find that each city seems
to interpret standard building
codes a little different than other
cities,” Lyles pointed out.
He emphasized a need for
“raising the image” of the city
inspector.
Attendance at the first inspect
ors training school ever held in
Texas includes 66 students and 45
instructors. Nine states and the
District of Columbia are repre
sented, including 50 Texas cities.
John R. Rauch of the Texas
Engineering Extension Service
noted several of the out-of-state
representatives are looking at the
program for future use. States
represented include Alabama, Flo
rida, Georgia, Illinois, California,
Louisiana, New York, Oklahoma
and Texas.
Lyles is typical of many build
ing inspectors. He not only is the
building official for the City of
Weslaco, but also wears the hats
of chief mechanical and electrical
inspector, fire chief and fire mar
shal.
Although Texas has metropol
itan areas with up to 150 inspec
tors, most of the state’s 700 build
ing-protected cities have one man
with several duties to perform.
Hoyt Page, building official
from Richardson near Dallas,
claims there is “a dire need for
education at all phases of muni
cipal inspection.”
Page is first vice president of
BOAT and chairman of the Edu
cation Committee which helped
set up the inspectors school
through Texas A&M’s Engineer
ing Extension Service.
Currently BOAT is considering
a certification program for in
spectors. Page suggests upgrad
ing a department will mean more
efficient workmanship and better
construction. '

We were the first CATV service
in Bryan and College Station.
And of course we're the biggest.
And since 1968 we've spent $341,151.01
in new cable and transistorized equipment
to insure our service is still the best.
And we continue to update our system
to provide Bryan-College Station families*
all the TV programming authorized by the FCC,
'(Including 1982 new families and 566 reconnections

LISTEN UP I
the butt forum V
Dear Sirs:
Perhaps Mrs. James who wrote
to you on Aug. 12 would be inter
ested in this little tidbit of news.
I quote from Time magazine,
August 3 issue, page 6.
“For some Americans it has
been an article of faith that the
campus upheavals of recent years
could not be the spontaneous
work their children, but must in
fact be the fruit of sinister plot
ting and manipulation by the
Communists. A corollary convic
tion has it that any disenters
who come off the worse from
encounters with law enforcement
officers undoubtedly asked for it.
Both were knocked down by no
less an authority than the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation.
William C. Sullivan, the bureau’s
No. 3 man, said that there was
‘no centralized conspiratorial plot
stemming from the Communist
Party’ behind the campus up
risings, although, he said, the
Communists had tried to exploit
the unrest. And the FBI investi
gation of the Kent State killings
discloses that the Ohio National
Guardsmen who opened fire, kill
ing four students, were not sur
rounded by demonstrators and
could have controlled the situa
tion without shooting.”
I am 22 years old, a secretary,
and putting my husband through
college. I hope, however, that
I am never to busy to stand up
for my right of freedom of
speech and peaceful assembly.
Perhaps if Mrs. James does not
like the noise that comes with
these rights, she would prefer
Communism, of which she has
so much to say, in which there
are no such rights.
Since Mrs. James and 4,000
other people apparently support
what is going on in Indochina, I
suggest that you send your broth
ers, husbands, and sons there to
fight and die then, and leave
those of us who realize this war
to be immoral, useless, and
wasteful at home.
While Mrs. James is concerned
about the destruction of a sym
bolic piece of cloth, I am con
cerned with the destruction and
murder of human lives. I am glad
I have the intelligence, appar
ently lacking in many people, to
realize which is more important.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Rebecca Rohrbough
Hubbard set
to be closed
Hubbard Street south of the
System Administration Building
has been closed indefinitely to
vehicular and parking traffic.
The one-way street between
Bizzell and Spence will be utilized
for parking equipment and con
tractor vehicles connected with
construction of the new ocean
ography-meteorology high rise,
noted Morris Maddox, assistant
chief of university police.
He pointed out that other cam
pus streets are either blocked or
are partially blocked due to con
struction work.
