External Affairs
Jerry Arterburn
(Sr-ED)
In my travels this year, repre
senting the students of A&M
both at the state and national
level, I have become more aware
of what potential we as students
have for new and varied pro
grams here at A&M. I strongly
believe in, and will work for, a
student owned shuttle bus sys
tem, a workable student co-op,
the election of student advisers
to the College Station City
Council, a merchant-student as
sociation, an enlarged student
discount program, a free campus
for political candidates, a much
improved parking system, stu
dent involvement in the state leg
islature, improvement of off-
campus representation, the estab
lishment of a day career center,
and a job opportunities program
to aid students in securing jobs
in the community while attend
ing A&M.

The External AffaiTs^Commit-
tee is a very important one.
Through it, students will finally
have an established means of
communication with the com
munity. As chairman of the com
mittee, I would work to promote
and protect student interests in
these ways:
The student as a consumer: ex
pand student discount program,
provide channel for business com
plaint.
The student as a resident: pro
vide assistance to students con
cerning deposit returns, publish
apartment review.
The student as a voter: pub
lish voting records of elected of
ficials, provide transportation to
the polls.
The student as an employe:
help students obtain fair wage
levels in their community jobs,
establish summer job opportuni
ties program.

The 12 persons, 10 of them
ENMU students and two Ros
well chicano leaders, offered no
resistance to the estimated 30
police officers.
The group began occupying
Dr. Meister’s office after he had
adjourned a meeting of the
school’s Administrative Council
late Tuesday morning. The stu
dents had been seeking a com
mitment from the council to in
crease the budget for an ethnic
studies program.
Meister reportedly adjourned
the meeting after one of the stu
dent spokesmen called Adminis
trative Vice President Gail Shan
non a liar.
Frank Sanchez and Larry Silva,
both identified as chicano lead
ers from Roswell and former
ENMU students.
Also arrested were two un
identified females.
Schuler, graduate assistant in
charge of the black studies pro
gram, said he walked out of the
meeting before Dr. Meister made
the decision for adjournment.
Police identified those arrest
ed Tuesday as Israel Dominquez,
Carlos Anaya, Pete Schuler, Juan
Soliz, Ramon Soliz, Louis Cor
dova, Miguel Garcia and Charles
McCurdy, all ENMU students;
The Administrative Council
voted 4-3 before the meeting ad
journed to ask the university's
board of regents for an increase
in money for the ethnic studies
program.
“They’re continuing to cover
themselves,” he said, “refusing
to make any statement as far as
the program is concerned.”
Anaya, a student assistant in
charge of the chicano studies, and
Juan Soliz said in a telephone
interview that they had bee;, b’ew ^
