Student service fees topic
at tonight’s Senate meeting
Committee reports will be the main feature of
le Student Senate meeting tonight, Student Senate
■resident Kent Caperton announced.
“I feel that we’re still in a research stage in a lot
[f different areas,” Caperton said.
“The senate is a lot less controversial this year
ian last, but I feel we are and will accomplish more
just doing rather than talking,” Caperton said.
One new area will be discussed, he said—a
roposal to establish a committee which would study
ossible changes in the system of allocating student
irvice fees and to make recommendations.
Student Senate Secretary Bill Hartsfield would
be chairman of the joint committee of the Memorial
Student Center (MSC) and the Student Senate,
Caperton said.
‘‘The main purpose of the committee is to ask
for student involvement in allocating the student
services fee,” he said.
Charles Cargill, manager of the exchange store,
also will address the Senate about renovations of the
exchange store and the new book store annex which
will be built in the MSC.

Tuition increases, state aid to
private colleges and highly spe
cialized institutions are the fu
ture of higher education in Texas
State Rep. Menton J. Murray
said Wednesday in the first Po
litical Forum presentation of the
fall semester.
The Texas legislature must dis
cover the best way to serve the
larger enrollment in colleges and
universities and then find a way
to pay for education’s rising cost,
Murray said.
“The enrollment problem is
more than the population explo
sion,” he said. “There are more
people, but a greater proportion
of these are also attending col
lege. During the 1930s, 18-24 per
cent of the population attended
college. That figure has now risen
to 30 per cent and it has been
estimated that 40 per cent will
enroll in college in 1980.
“The cost of education is rap
idly rising,” Murray said, “but
traditional sources of income are
climbing slowly. Federal assist
ance has diminished and state ap
propriations have increased tre
mendously as a result. The state
appropriated $687 million for the
last biennium and moi - e than a
billion dollars, a 76 per cent in
crease, will be requested for the
next.”
Many legislators feel students
should pay a larger share of the
rising costs, he said. Students
now pay only about 10 per cent
of education costs.
The Texas Coordinating Board
has recommended that in-state
tuition be raised from $50 to $125
a semester and out of state from
$200 to $500.
Murray said he will support the
out-of-state tuition increase be
cause the state has an “obliga
tion to educate the people of
Texas first,” but predicted an in
state tuition increase of only $25-
$50 per semester.
He said the 37 private colleges
in Texas are also feeling the fi
nancial pinch and will request
state aid from the next legisla
ture.
“These private colleges are per
forming a public function,” he
said, “and if they fail financially,
the cost of educating those stu
dents will be substantially more
than assisting the colleges now.
It will be more economical in the
long run than to fund the ab
sorption of these students in pub
lic colleges.
“If the 74,000 students now in
private schools enrolled in public
instiutions, an additional $70 mil
lion would be needed just for the
increase in operating expenses,
he said. “This would be only if
the public colleges had the room
to spare.”
He said the state could give
financial aid to students in the
form of tuition grants, give fi
nancial aid to the institutions on
the basis of degrees awarded, . •
contract with the schools for
equipment and faculty.
Murray also said he favors
strict control of construction of
new senior colleges and the main
tenance of top quality diverse
programs in existing schools.
Expansion should be at the
junior college level where the
growth trend is indicated, he said.
In 1960, junior colleges had 30,-
000 students and last year 97,000
students, or one out of every
four Texas college students, at
tended a community college.
He said junior colleges may be
needed every 50 to 100 miles to
meet the needs of increasing pop
ulation and that community col-
leegs will lend dignity to occu
pational specialty training while
senior colleges can “specialize
without loss of quality” in broad
er academic areas.

Lightfoot says
A weak cold front expected to
move Wednesday into the Bryan-
College Station area holds the key
to weekend weather and condi
tions for Texas A&M’s second
straight home football game, Jim
Lightfoot of the university weath
er station said.
The front will bring increasing
cloudiness and intermittent rain
with its arrival late Wednesday or
early Thursday, he said.
"It will hang right in our area,
causing light rain Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday,” the meteorol
ogist predicted. Afternoon high
temperatures will range in the
vicinity of 70 to 74 degrees the
remainder of the week, he said.
At 7:30 p. m. Saturday when
the Aggies and Texas Christian
kick off their Southwest Confer
ence football engagement, there
will be chances of intermittent
light rain or rainshowers, Light
foot added. The wind will be out
of the east at 5 to 10 mph, the
temperature will be 71 degrees
and relative humidity 80 per cent.
He indicated the weather should
begin clearing Sunday.

Series presentation of 1970-71
was moved up a month due to
schedule difficulties.
Dances ranging from classic
flamenco to the gay and boister
ous fandangos and rumbas of the
Spanish countryside will make up
the varied Giro program, on a
second tour under; auspices of S.
Hurok.
Giro will perform the “Farru-
ca,” one of the most technically
difficult of all flamenco dances,
and the “SolearesfeL^ften called
the “mother” dlru^ of this
unique and excitipg < gypsy art
form.
With Rose Montoya, leading
soloist of the company's female
contingent, he will dance the
“Zorongo Gitano,” based on a
Lorca poem set to a flamenco
chant, and “Leyenda,” modern
dance to the music of Isaac Al-
beniz depicting man’s eternal
struggle with life.
Miss Montoya also will dance
an “Alegrias” from Cadiz and a
deep flamenco number, “Seguiri-
ya.”
Compared by one reviewer as
good, or better, than Jose Greco,
Giro is described as “a young
man with a marvellously imperi
ous, arrogant face” who is a “su
perb interpreter of the proud,
fiery gypsy dances, a performer
with the grace and agility of a
panther.”
“It is scarcely a ballet at all,”
a viewer wrote, but rather a
“show of fire, beauty and virtu
osity.”
Miss Montoya, with whom Giro
has been dancing nine years, in
“Alegrias” leaves an audience
“close to limp for the sheer emo
tional impact of the dancing and
music,” Wisconsin critic John
Miner said of a 1969 tour ap
pearance.

“For the first time, Texas Tech
fans outyelled the Aggies at a
football game and by getting out-
yelled, the whole student body let
A&M and the football team
down,” Head Yell Leader Keith
Chapman said Wednesday night
at yell practice.
Departing from the usual jokes
and jodies which are common at
yell practices, Chapman spoke on
a serious note as he addressed
the student body.
“No matter what anybody says
or thinks, the football team and
coaching staff are putting every
thing they’ve got into the foot
ball games,” Chapman said.
“Enthusiasm and attitude of
the crowd projects into the way
the football team plays,” he said.
“The players are playing for
A&M and the student body. They
need all the support they can re
ceive and they’re proud of the
way they are supported.”
“Aggies always have stood be
hind the team until the final
gun,” he said. “A&M has always
stood proud and tall because they
have something deep down inside
which no other school in the
country has—support of the team
and their school no matter how
bad it gets.”
“When a football player comes
to you and asks you what hap
pened to the support which usual
ly is given to the football team,
it is time to get things straight,”
Barret Smith, senior yell leader
said.
“A&M has seen rougher days,
and the students should continue
to support and help the team as
they have in the past,” he added.
“As long as the whole student
body upholds the things that
have made A&M great, it will
continue to stand taller and
prouder than any other school in
the nation,” Chapman concluded.
