Tang Ming-chao, An Chin-yuan,
Wang Hai-yung, Hsing Sung-yi

An East Asian scholar at Co

“next best.”
The U. S. spokesman said the
American mission “will be deal

Asked whether this meant the
United States would maintain
quasidiplomatic relations with
Peking through the U. N. mis

U.N. activities have moved at
a slow pace since the decision last

One major issue that cannot

Any student with a complaint
against the CSC should contact
the Better Business Bureau of

the Student Senate, 845-1515.
The process begins with stu

After assignment cards have
been approved, the student must
secure fee data cards from the

Cadets in the Duncan Hall area
go to Lounge D, all coeds, athletes
and residence hall civilians get
fee data cards in YMCA Room
101 and all male day students,
both civilian and Corps, go to

After securing the fee data

Registration Headquarters in
YMCA Roor 001 to complete pre

No fees for the spring semester
will be collected at the time of
preregistration, Lacey noted.
A fee statement will be mailed
by the Fiscal Department to the
student at his local mailing ad

be paid by mail by Dec. 31; other

’ASHINGTON 0T)—The Atom-

sday “we now expect to be
1 state of readiness to conduct
Cannikin test no earlier than
urday, Nov. 6.”
Cannikin test is the pro-
d big underground blast of
ive-megaton nuclear device on
lc hitka Island, Alaska.
eanwhile, opponents of the
osion appealed a judge’s re-
jT h° halt the blast. Environ-
p^alists appealed also the de-
!°ri of U. S. District Judge
ge L. Hart Jr., to keep secret
e documents which they say
prove the potential dangers of
the blast.
Seven organizations headed by
the Committee for Nuclear Re
sponsibility claim the blast poses
a threat to wildlife and could
trigger earthquakes or tidal
waves.
In preparing an environmental
impact statement required by law,
the conservationists claim the
AEG ignored or suppressed re
ports from four government
agencies opposing the blast.
On Monday Judge Hart ordered

filed in the U. S. Court of Ap

They also requested a prelim

On Oct. 5, the Appeals Court
turned down a request for a stay,
but that was before the three-
judge court had a look at the

The judges have been studying

There also is speculation about
the possibility China will enter
the lagging Big Four talks on
the Mideast. A British spokesman
said his delegation had no desire
to exclude the Chinese from the
talks, but noted that the talks
were not directly connected with
the Security Council.
The announcement of the Chi
nese delegation came as Sen.
George McGovern, an aspirant
for the Democratic presidential
nomination, told U.N. correspon
dents he supported the decision
to seat Peking.
“I don’t think the United States
was rebuked,” the South Dakotan
said. “I think our President was
ill-advised to interpret it the way
he did.”

Some changes
New policy on bikes released
Cyclists will now be allowed to
ride on campus sidewalks, accord
ing to the new bicycle policy
presented to the University Traf
fic Panel today.
The policy still has to be ap
proved by the Traffic Panel, Dean
of Students James P. Hannigan,
and by President Jack K. Wil
liams before it becomes policy.
The regulations also require
proper lighting and a yearly reg
istration fee.
All bicycles owned and parked
on the campus at any time by
students, faculty or staff must be
registered in the University
Police Office at a cost of $1 per
year.
The campus registration plates
that will be required must be
firmly attached to the rear wheel
brackets beneath the driver’s bi
cycle seat. These identification
plates will not be transferable.
Plates must be removed when the
ownership of a vehicle changes
or at the time of expiration. A
bicycle registration card will be
issued to all registrants, and the
card must be carried with him
at all times.
Each person riding a bicycle
upon a roadway shall be granted
all of the rights but shall be
subject to all of the duties appli
cable to the driver of a motor
vehicle.
All campus sidewalks are tem
porarily designated as bicycle
pathways for joint use by bicycle
and pedestrians. Bicycles may
not be ridden on the malls. Cycl
ists on pathways must ride to the
right at minimum operating speed
and yield to pedestrians at all
times.
Each person operating a bicycle
upon a roadway shall ride as near
to the right side of the road as
practicable only in the direction
authorized for traffic, exercising
due care when passing a stand
ing vehicle or one proceeding in
the same direction.
Persons riding bicycles upon a
roadway shall not ride more than
two abreast except on paths or
parts of roadways set aside for
the exclusive use of bicycles.
No person shall ride a bicycle
across a sidewalk or drive
through a driveway, parking lot
or business or residential en
trance without yielding to pedes
trians and motor vehicles.
Bicycles can’t be ridden in any
rate, speed competition or test of
physical endurance unless the
dean or students gives prior
approval.
Every bicycle when in use at
night-time has to be equipped
with a lamp on the front which
emits a white light visible from
a distance of at least 500 feet to
the front and with a red reflec
tor on the rear which shall be
visible from all distances from
50 feet to 300 feet to the rear
when directly in front of the
upper beams of a motor vehicle’s
headlights.
Each bicycle should be placed
in a university-provided bicycle
rack, if space is available, when
not in use.
The new policy pertaining to
potential parking tickets will be
assessed according to two cate
gories: (1) parking and minor
moving violations, and (2) major
moving violations.
The penalties for violation of
parking and minor moving viola
tions will be $1 for the first
ticket, $2 for the second, $3 for
the third, $4 for the fouth and
$5 for the fifth. The penalties
for major moving violations will
be $2 for the first, $4 for the
second, $8 for the third, $16 for
the fourth and $32 for the fifth.
Anyone who receives six or
more tickets will have his permit
revoked and be prohibited from
riding his bicycle on the campus
for the remainder of the semester.
A penalty of $5 is added if the
fee is not paid within 72 hours
from the date of notice.
The new revised bicycle policy
was worked out in a sub-commit
tee appointed by the Traffic
Panel. Those attending included
Andre Piazza and Jim Davis,
representing the A&M Wheel
men; Steve Wakefield and Jerry
McGowen, Student Senators;
Debi Blackmon from SCOPE;
Don Williams, dorm counselor,

Temporary foreign-aid rescue
meets with outside opposition
WASHINGTON 6P> — The
chairman of the Appropriations
Committee joined two other key
Senate Democrats Tuesday in
opposing President Nixon’s plan
for a temporary rescue of the
foreign-aid program.
Secretary of State William P.
Rogers, meanwhile, joined the
administration outcry against
Senate defeat of the aid bill. He
told reporters the action weak
ened Nixon’s international nego
tiating position and appealed to
Congress for prompt action “to
correct this damage that has been
done.”

A double-barrelled Town Hall
performance of singer Kris Kris
tofferson and Seals and Crofts,
rock-and-roll veterans of near
20 years on the road, unfastens
home football doings Friday.
The 8 p.m. Town Hall show will
set the Aggie-S MU grid weekend
in motion.
It will be a homecoming of
sorts for Kristofferson, Texas-
born Oxford-educated singer and
song writer, and Jim Seals and
Dash Crofts. They are formerly
of Sidney and nearby Cisco in
Texas.
Seals and Crofts, swept along
with the ever-changing rock scene
for 12 years from the mid-1950s,
will lead off the two-hour show.
Jim and Dash went on their own
in 1967 as veterans of thousands
of recording gigs and one-night
stands in bands that played from
San Bernardino to Bangor.
Kristofferson, center ring at
traction of the show, has a sound
that “borders on country-and-
western and folk-rock, in a
quiet, bittersweet way,” com
mented Kirk Hawkins, Town Hall
chairman.
Hawkins noted some reserve
seats are still available. Activity
card and Town Hall season ticket
holders need only show their pass
es for general admission seats,
he added.
Kristofferson was labelled a
“semi-dropout” by one reviewer.
But the 34-year-old performer
was designated “one of the most
important artists on the contem
porary scene” and “one of the
major new songwriting talents”
after a club debut in Los Angeles.
The author of the 1965 hit
“Vietnam Blues” sang in Dennis
Hopper’s “The Last Movie,” TV
debuted on the Johnny Cash
Show, sang three Shel Silverstein
songs on the “Ned Kelly” sound
track and turned “Kristofferson,”
his first album with Monument.
Between club owners and movie
directors’ calls, he’s trying to
find time to record a second al
bum.
During a five-year Army stint,
the one-time captain flew heli
copters in Germany, was turned
down for a Vietnam tour and
taught English literature at West
Point. A resident of Brownsville
until his high school days, Kris
tofferson studied in England on

a Rhodes Scholarship that was
extended for work on a novel.
He checked out instead, married
and went into the Army. During
the' Germany tour Kris started
writing again with some satire
on Army life. He began writing
at age 11 and was first published
in 1958.
Weekends and leaves from
West Point were spent in Nash
ville, which became his address
when Kristofferson completed his
Army obligation in 1965. Lean
years followed in which he flew
choppers to offshore oil rigs and
cleaned ash trays and swept out
recording studios.
“Threw away a great future,
they say. Sensitive and intelli
gent,” a review of his Bitter End
opening went. Kristofferson is
sought, however, and even had
Bob Dylan come to pay respects.
Composer of 130 songs, he has
done laments like “Me and Bobby
McGee,” “Help Me Make It
Through the Night” and “Sunday
Morning’ Coming’ Down,” the
Country Music Association’s Song
of the Year for 1970.
“He closely fills the classic
Hank Williams stereotype of the
lonesome, rural-bred balladeer,” a
New York observer wrote, “the
perpetual refugee.”
The administration wants Con
gress to extend the present aid
program at least one month be
yond the Nov. 15 expiration of
existing authority.
Sen. Allen Ellender, D.-La.,
chairman of the Appropriations
Committee, said it will refuse to
gp along with any temporary
extension unless there appears
to be progress on authorizing “a
shortened, revised version of our
aid operations.”
In that case, the Louisiana
Democrat added, he might agree
to extension of the existing pro
gram until Dec. 1.
Sen. J. W. Fulbright, D.-Ark.,
chairman of the Foreign Rela
tions Committee, said “I think
we can” draw up a revised aid
authorization measure by late
this week or early next week.
Such a bill would likely be
heavy on humanitarian assist
ance, such as the $250 million
item for Pakistani refugees in
the defeated bill, and light on
military aid.
