Temporary parking for day students has been
set up in several locations, according to Ed Powell,
chief of University Police.
Students who live off campus now may park on
the west side of Throckmorton across from the corps
dorm area, on the east side of Houston Road to
Jersey Street, on the shoulders of Bizzell Street
between Ross and University Street, and in dry
weather, in the unpaved lot, 48-B, across the street
from the lot behind Guion Hall.
These areas all will be open until Lot 50, near
the Engineering Center, is completed. It is expected
to be open at the end of November. Powell said that
he believes Lot 48-B still would be used in dry
weather.
Parking also is being allowed on the shoulders
of South College between RoSs Street and FM 60,
Powell said. The chief said parking was definitely not
permitted on the grass median dividing the street,
however.
The temporary parking has added approxi
mately 500 more spaces.
Fifteen spaces for senior corps students have
been added to Lot 26, by Duncan Dining Hall. The
extra spaces are on the north side next to Dorm 12.
This lot was previously reserved exclusively for
faculty.
Powell reminded students they may park only
between the signs on Throckmorton. Parking on the
grass near the Engineering Center and double parking
on Bizzell Street will not be allowed.
Lot 18 by the Agriculture building will be
closed for six weeks starting today, so a water pipe
can be put through. Those who usually park in this
lot may park in Lots 34 or 14, Powell said.
Dean considers dorms
with suites for women
By SUE DAVIS
Battalion Staff Writer
Several dorms are being considered as a possible
womens dorm, according to Dean of Students James
P. Hannigan.
Cadet-style dorms are out, Hannigan said. These
dorms are the ones without individual bathrooms.
The rooms are also so small that bunk beds must be
used.
The newer style dorms are the most likely
choices, the dean said. These have one bathroom for
every two rooms and more built-in storage space.
Dorms under most consideration are
Schumacher Hall, Fowler Hall, Hart Hall, Dorm 12 of
the corps dorms, and one of the wings of the new
dorm under construction near the corps dorm area,
Hannigan explained. t
Each of these dorms is a possibility because it is
more isolated from the other dorms, Hannigan said.
Women will probably not receive a dorm until
the fall of 1971. “There is a good possiblity, not
probability, we will have a women’s dorm this
spring,” Hannigan said.

Second board
payment due

The second board installment
for the 1970 fall semester is due
on or before Tuesday in the Fis
cal Office, located in the Richard
Coke Building.
Payment is $85 for students on
the 7-day board plan and $76 for
those on the 5-day plan. Failure
to pay by Tuesday results in a
$l-per-day fine, up to $10.
If a student has not paid with
in 10 class days after the due
date, the Fiscal Office will rec
ommend to Dean of Students
James P. Hannigan that the stu
dent be dropped from the rolls
of the university for failure to
pay fees.

Nominations for ugly
asked for by Campus Chest
By LEE DUNKELBERG
Battalion Staff Writer
Alpha Phi Omega, national
service fraternity, and the Stu
dent Senate Welfare Committee
are attempting to find the ugliest
senior on campus.
The contest, which begins to
day, is a fund-raising project for
the Campus Chest fund. Campus
Chest provides help for Aggies
during emergencies if they are
unable to help themselves.
The fund also supports two
children on an Indian reservation
in Oklahoma, and brings boys
from Faith Home in Houston to
the campus for a weekend.
Anyone can nominate a senior
for the title by filling out an
application and donating 50 cents.
Applications are available in the
Memorial Student Center Pro
gram Office, from Mike Essmyer
in dorm 7-214 or from Tommy
Weaver, Keathley 402.
A booth has been set up in
the MSC where anyone may vote
for a candidate by depositing
five cents in the container with
his candidate’s name on it.
The senior with the most five-
cent votes will be designated
Ugliest Senior on Campus. The
winner will be announced during
the Oct. 9 Town Hall performance.
A chart will be on display at
the voting booth showing the
progress of the candidates.

Hall program aids
in quicker reading
KAMU sets Sunday auditions
for full-color variety program
Auditions will be held Sunday for “Entertainment Now,”
KAMU-TV variety show carried on channel 15 (cable channel 12).
Producer-director Dave Williams said the 2 p.m. Sunday auditions
at the station in Bagley Hall will be open to all interested persons.
“We would like to see any group or individual who think they are
good,” Williams said. Standup comedy or musical groups or singles will
be welcome.
“Entertainment Now” originated with KAMU-TV in August as
the station’s first full color locally created variety program. The
30-minute show is broadcast at 8:30 p.m. Thursdays.
Students may realize improved
success in class work through a
dormitory reading program con
ducted by the Counseling and
Testing Center.
Equipment and program mate
rials are now available in all
Corps of Cadets dorms and are
being introduced in civilian x’esi-
dence halls, announced S. Auston
Kerley, counseling and testing di
rector.
He said the individual, volun
tary program requires only about
20 minutes of student time two
or three times a week.
“Evidence of improvement in
reading speed and comprehension
should be noticeable within a
week and continuous thereafter,”
said Jim Davis of the center
staff.
Lenth of time in the program
depends upon how much the stu
dent wants to improve his read
ing rate and comprehension.
Three weeks are required to com
plete the basic program, but stu
dents are urged to continue using
reading equipment to solidify
their newly acquired reading hab
its.
“Probably no other factor cor
relates so closely with school suc
cess as does reading,” Kerley
said. “Because of the vast amount
of material to be read, a student
must constantly strive to increase
his reading rate and improve
comprehension.”
New students, especially, should
examine the program, the center
director added. Many freshmen
find it difficult to adjust to larger
amounts of material covered in
university courses.
Interested corps students should
contact their unit scholastic offi
cer. Civilian students should in
quire about program access
through their hall head resident
or counselor.
Additional information may be
obtained from Davis at the Coun
seling and Testing Center, 107
Academic Building.
