Dear Students:
How did your senator vote on
the recently proposed student as
sociation constitution ?
When this issue and others are
presented before next year’s Stu
dent Senate, if elected senior rep
resentative from the College of
Education, I will hold meetings
for all interested education ma
jors to get their opinions before
a vote is taken. I will notify those
I represent as to how I voted
through periodic newsletters on
Senate activities. Throughout
next year I will work, and remain
open to any suggestions for great
er communication among all edu
cation majors.
Please remember my name —
Marilyn Melcher — when you vote
for senior representative from
the College of Education. I want
to represent you.

To the students:
We would like to take this op
portunity to encourage each of
you to find out who’s running
from your college, tell them what
you expect from the Student Sen
ate, and vote ;for the candidate of
your choice. Student government
cannot function without the sup
port and concern of the students.
We would also like to introduce
you to Marilyn Melcher, a junior
in the College of Education who
is running for a Senate seat next
year. Her qualifications are: dele
gate to MSC Leadership Confer
ence, delegate to the state conven
tion of Texas State Education
Association, member and past of
ficer in the A&M Chapter of
T.S.E.A., officer in the YMCA
Cabinet, co-chairman of the “Y”
Freshman Camp, member of the
dress code committee of the CSC,
delegate for SCONA, and dis
tinguished student.
She is enthusiastic and ener
getic and would be an excellent
representative.
The election is April 28. Please
get out there and vote!

Editor:
I am announcing my candidacy
for sophomore senator in the Col
lege of Architecture and Environ
mental Design. I have been in
terested and active in student
government since arriving at
A&M.
I am in favor of the proposed
new constitution because I feel it
will give the student body better
representation. In addition, the
Senate should be more efficient
under a new constitution. A&M
has a very diversified student
body and without proper, fair
representation, next year’s Stu
dent Senate can never hope to
achieve the goals a rapidly grow
ing and vastly changing univer
sity should strive for.
I am very concerned about
what happens here at A&M. I
am willing to get out and work
hard in the Student Senate and
to represent you. Since I will be
your voice in student government,
I urge you to call me at 845-6787
or come by Puryear 6-F with your
questions and ideas.
Above all, I urge you to do your
job and vote April 28. I ask also
for your vote and support. I will
respond with the best job of rep
resenting you responsibly in the
Student Senate of 1971-72.

Editor:
This will introduce to Texas
Aggies one of the most outstand
ing residents of Walton Hall and
perhaps the entire civilian body,
Larry Hoelscher ’74. Larry is a
candidate for Sophomore Class
president in the upcoming elec
tion. I have had the chance and
opportunity to work with Larry
on many Walton projects. I have
been in a position to hear the
feedback he receives as a student
leader. I have no doubts that Lar
ry is qualified with his proven
abilities. Among his class mem
bers I notice a marked respect
for his personality and ability to
get the job done quickly and ef
ficiently.
As Larry has participated in
activities this year, he has shown
the mark of not only an emergent
leader but that of a scholar. Not
many people are able to combine
both activities and academics to
their fullest. I notice a tremen
dous voter popularity for Larry
among not only his hall, but the
entire civilian body. I wish Larry
the very best luck in this election
and invite others to realistically
size this gentleman for the job.

College Station Postmaster
Ernest Gregg announced today
that College Station will partici
pate in a program making rapid,
dependable airmail delivery the
first “national service goal” of
the U. S. Postal Service.
The improved airmail service
program is the first phase of the
master plan for upgrading the
postal system, Greeg said. Other
national service goals will be an
nounced later.
The service goal becomes ef
fective Thursday.
Gregg said under the plan zip
coded airmail deposited by 4 p.m.
weekdays in the conveniently lo
cated “air mail only” box will be
delivered the next day in most
principal and intermediate towns
and cities within a 600-mile radius
of College Station, and in virtual
ly any principal city in the con
tinental United States within two
days of deposit.
The postmaster said the “air
mail only” box will be located im
mediately in front of the main
postoffice, 101 Houston St.
“Postmaster General Winton M.
Blount has said he expects every
postal employee to join in meet
ing this challenge in order to
achieve a performance of at least
95 per cent by July,” Gregg said.
“It will be the first of several
major, definite plans that we
have on the drawing board for
comprehensive service improve
ments.”
Gregg explained that the first
national service goal will apply
to nearly 500 towns and cities
with airports and flight schedules
that make next-day and second-
day delivery possible. He empha
sized that dependability as well as
speed of delivery will be stressed.
Gregg said the Postal Service
already is strategically placing
“airmail only” boxes at key lo
cations in College Station and in
cities and towns all over the coun
try to improve airmail delivery.
The boxes are identified with dis
tinctive colors and markings.
Pickups of airmail from these
boxes will be adjusted to provide
prompt dispatch on local area
flight schedules.
Many of these boxes are visible
along major thoroughfares, in
front of post offices, branches
and stations and in large shop
ping centers in major cities. Many
more will be ready by July 1.
