WASHINGTON </P> — Men
I classified as 1A in this year’s
[draft pool won’t be called if their
lottery numbers are over 125, but
fall with numbers below that can
expect a summons. Selective
Service announced Tuesday.
Earlier, draft officials had said
men probably would be called
with numbers as high as 140.
But that was when 15,000 to
[20,000, instead of 10,000, were
expected to be drafted in the re
maining months of this year.
Draft Director Curtis W. Tarr,
in another change, said draftees
will be given 30 days’ notice to
report for induction rather than
the 10 days’ minimum set down
in law.
The 30-day notice means that
nobody will be drafted this
month. But the Pentagon’s 10,-
000-man call will be split 6,500
between Nov. 1 and 18 and 3,500
between Nov. 29 and Dec. 9.
When the draft was suspended
on June 30 there had been calls
totaling 88,000 for the year, with
84,000 men called. Selective
Service said it does not plan to
make up the 4,000-man backlog.
Tarr, in another announce
ment, said he has ordered local
and appeals boards to defer ac
tion on classification, personal

new regulations on draft require
ment provisions under the new
draft law are drawn up.
The regulations will be com
pleted in about two weeks, draft
officials said, but they can’t be
put into effect under the new
law until 30 days after they are
published in the Federal Reg
ister.
Every young man classified 1A
who drew a number 125 or lower
in the 1969 and 1970 lotteries
and is in this year’s pool can ex
pect to receive an induction
notice in the near future, Tarr
said.
That’s because of the new
system of drafting men on a
nationwide basis by lottery num
ber. Previously, Selective Serv
ice headquarters set a ceiling by
lottery number and assigned
states quotas of draftees.
Those to be called this year
will, as indicated earlier, be
mainly men who lost deferments
because they graduated from col
lege, junior college or trade
school in June or later.
They were not called earlier
because draft calls were sus
pended between the time the draft
authority expired June 30 and
President Nixon signed the new
draft law last week.

The more efficient use of fer
tilizers and pesticides in urban
areas is necessary, said Dodd.
“Most people tend to fertilize
their yards at rates much higher
than in agricultural situations,”
he stressed. These can stay in
the ground and build up. The user
needs to be more careful and
follow the instructions for these,
Dodd said.
Industrial sources of pollutants
need to be more carefully con
trolled, he stressed. The older in
dustrial plants have to be modi
fied to reduce the release of these
pollutants. New plants should be
built with integrated anti-pollu
tion controls.
“It appears that one of the
major pollutants is soil, because
erosion goes on all the time, and
many harmful substances are at
tached to and move with these
soil particles,” Dodd said.
Erosion takes place all the
time, everywhere, and it is a
natural phenomenon which is
further agitated by the highway
The Student Senate’s proposed
constitutional revisions concern
ing the addition of five more
senators was passed Tuesday by
a landslide—1682 for, 208 against.
“It is the largest turnout we
have ever had in this type of
election,” David Moore, president
of the election commission of the
Student Senate, said.
The Senate amended the senate
constitution dealing with a new
method of apportionment of sen
ators during its last meeting,
which added eight more senators
and dropped three.
Having passed, the amendment
will provide for one more senator
to be added to the College of
Agriculture, four more to the En
gineering Department, two more
to the Science Department and
one more to the preveterinary
medicine portion of the College
of Veterinary Medicine.
Science, Preveterinary Medi
cine, and Agriculture each receive
senators - at - large. Engineering
will receive one senior, one junior,
one sophomore, and one at-large
senator.
The only college to lose sena
tors is the College of Education,
which dropped three of its six
senators. Education’s three extra
senators will serve out their cur
rent terms.
The new senators will now be
appointed by John Sharp, senate
president, and be approved by
two-thirds vote of the Student
Senate this semester.
Freshman elections will be held
Nov. 11 to elect the new fresh
man class officers and five sen-
ators-at-large for 1971-72. Of
ficers elected will include presi
dent, vice president, social secre
tary, and secretary-treasurer.
Any freshman interested in fil
ing for a freshman class office
should pick up a ballot in the
Memorial Student Center pro
grams office before Oct. 18.
Allowing the Student Senate to
hire a lawyer to help in student’s
legal matters was a much needed
step according to Layne Cruse,
chairman of the Student Senate
Life Committee.
The recently passed Student
Senate resolution gave the Legal
Rights Commission the right to
hire a lawyer who will assist
them in advising A&M students
having a legal problem.
The lawyer, who will be paid
for one hour of service a month,
will act as an advisor to the
Commission. Whenever a complex
student problem arises, the law
yer will be called up on the phone
and will give his advice. The
lawyer will never deal directly
with the students or university
but will act only in an advisory
role, Cruse said.
“Before, students would have
a complaint on some legal mat
ter concerning them and the Le
gal Rights Commission would
have to hunt around before it
could find someone who would
give free professional advice,”
Cruse continued.
He said the name of the lawyer
will not be given out because of
the small fee he will be receiv
ing and so he wouldn’t be both
ered by personal calls from stu
dents.
The role of the Legal Rights
Commission is to give advice to
any student who requests it Cruse
said. He said the commission re
ceived about 80 calls last year.
Most concerned problems with
apartment managers and traffic
fines, Cruse added.
Shannon McKinney, vice-pres
ident of the Legal Rights Com
mission, says the commission
helps students who are away from
home and do not know any at
torneys in the area.
“We give students advice on
whether or not they should hire
a lawyer and if one is needed, we
give them the names of good at
torneys in the area,” she said.
Any student having legal prob
lems and needing advice should
contact the Legal Rights Com
mission. Call either Paul Turner
at 845-4948 or Shannon McKin
ney at 846-9753.
Student Senate to

The Student Senate will spon
sor a three-week voter registra
tion drive beginning Nov. 1, Is
sues Chairman James McLeroy
announced this week.
The drive, in conjunction with
the new law allowing 18-year-olds
to vote, will last three weeks.
Areas off campus where students
live and campus dormitories will
be canvassed in an effort to reg
ister all eligible voters.
“Cooperation thus far has been
excellent,” McLeroy said. “We
plan to divide students into areas

HOUSTON LP>—Pearl Brew
ing Co. attempted to show in
court Tuesday that Anheuser-
Busch Inc., and Joseph Schlitz
Brewing Co. allegedly fixed
prices to monopolize the beer
market in Texas.
In an injunction hearing be
fore U.S. Dist. Court Judge Carl
O. Bue, attorneys for Pearl in
troduced 6,244 documents. Attor
ney John Snodgrass said the
documents were offered to show
that distributors and dealers got
rebates from the defendants if
they lowered prices.
Pearl alleges its distributors
will suffer irreparable damage
unless an immediate injunction
against the alleged price fixing
is issued by the court.
Pearl claims the two brew
eries have been attempting to
“eliminate competition in the sale
of beer in Texas” for the last
four years by asking their re
spective distributors to charge
noncompetitive arbitrary prices
duirng price promotion.”
Pearl also alleges that since
1967 its share of sales on the
Texas market has dropped from
18.7 per cent to 10.9 per cent

in 1971. In the same period, it
claims, sales for Anheuser-Busch
have risen from 9.6 to 15.7 per
cent and Schlitz’s sales have gone
from 12.1 to 25.3 per cent.
Schlitz and Budweiser lawyers
denied their clients are engaged
in any illegal activity. They said
the so-called price promotions
have been a way of life in Texas
for years and there was no con
spiracy or coercion in connection
with the promotions.
Fred Knapp, representing
Schlitz, said Pearl’s problems are
of the firm’s own making and
have been compounded by mis
takes including the continued
operations of what he termed
“two obsolete breweries.”
Ray Cook, representing Bud
weiser, said the consumer has
“become accustomed to finding
discount prices on premium
beers” on Thursday and Friday.
Student ID’s will be checked
at every home football game
“We will check student ID’s at
all the football games,” said Wal
ly Groff, the Athletic Business
manager.
He was referring to the new
policy that began at the Cincin
nati game last Saturday. That
night a large number of ticket
holders were turned away from
the gates and forced to buy gen
eral admission tickets.
The Athletic Business office
recently became very alarmed at
the large number of students who
were lending their tickets out.
Often students would admit their
guilt by bragging at the ticket
office how they were cheating
and saving money.
“It was the first time in five
years that every person holding
a student ticket has been
checked,” said Groff. The past
policy has been to spot check,
unlike other Southwest Confer
ence schools which are more
strict. “The University of Texas
even sends a team of checkers to
away games,” commented Groff.
The loaning of student tickets
is unfair to people who have to
buy $6 tickets explained Groff.
Besides, he added, the school
loses a lot of money.
and use their leaders to help with
the drive.”
He explained that this would
include Corps Staff for the corps
area, dormitory presidents for the
civilian students, apartment man
agers off campus, and service
and political organizations for the
remainder of the student body.
Among these organizations are
the Senate Issues Committee,
Great Issues, Political Forum,
Alpha Phi Omega, the Young
Republicans, the Young Demo
crats, the League of Women
Voters, and University Women.
“There are a few legal ques
tions still involved,” McLeroy
said. “First, we need to find out
if affidavits are needed stating
that the student plans to live here
indefinitely to vote here. Ray
mond Buchanan, the county tax
assessor-collector, thinks so.
“Also, we’re not sure how many
deputy registrars we are allowed
to have,” he added. “These are
the people who will do the actual
registering. We have 14 now, and
there is no limit by law. How
ever, it is only logical to limit
the number to some extent.”
Another legal question is the
recent Supreme Court decision
that students need not register
in their parents’ home county.
Also involved is the possibility of
transferring one’s registration
from this county to the home
county.
“Since this is a door-to-door
effort,” McLeroy said, “we’re not
sure whether the deputy regis
trars are required to pass out
registrations material t h e m -
selves or not.”
He pointed out that Dean of
Students James P. Hannigan has
requested that the drive be con
ducted at a time other than 7:30-
10:30 p.m.
“We hope to add some incen
tive by giving an award to the
registrar signing up the most
people,” McLeroy stated. “We’d
take a tally of the number regis
tered, and the winner would be
the one with the highest percent
age.”
An important political aspect
of the registration drive is that
all students voting on campus
would be in the same precinct.
This means that the students reg
istered would constitute a size
able portion of the voters in the
Bryan-College Station area.
“Students must remember that
they cannot register more than
30 days prior to their 18th birth
day,” McLeroy said. “Also, we
plan to publish any legal ma
terial concerning the voter regis
tration situation whenever we get
it, so that everyone will know
exactly where they stand.”
McLeroy and Senate President
John Sharp will attend a voter
registration conference this week
end at Rice University in Hous
ton.
Nice weather
is predicted
at A&Mgame
Cool, dry air from a system
now brewing in the Northwest
will overlay most of Texas and
provide virtually ideal weather
for A&M’s conference football
opener Saturday in Lubbock.
Jim Lightfoot of the A&M Me
teorology Department said the
advancing edge of the air mass
will push through Bryan and Col
lege Station Friday night or Sat
urday.
It will also give this area a
nice weekend, the meteorologist
said.
Cloudy skies and intermittent
rainshowers will be the rule until
the fast-moving dry front gets
here. Temperatures will gradually
warm up. Lightfoot indicated
Lubbock will be in a thundershow
er area Wednesday, with the front
passing there early Friday.
At the 7:30 p.m. kickoff of the
A&M-Tech game, conditions
should include 75 degrees, 35 per
cent relative humidity and west
erly winds 15 to 25 mph. The Sat
urday afternon high in Lubbock
will be 81 degrees.
