New Civilian dorm visitation
hours have been proposed by the
Civilian Student Council and are
under consideration by A&M ad
ministrators.
Proposed hours would be 12-10
p.m. on weekdays and 12-2 a.m.
on Friday and Saturdays, said
Mark Blakemore, president of the
Civilian Student Council.
The existing hours already al
lowed by the university are 5-12
p.m. on Fridays, 12-12 a.m. on
Saturdays and 12-7 p.m. on Sun
days.
The proposed change is under
consideration by Dean of Stu
dents James P. Hannigan, Assist
ant Dean of Students Howard
Perry, Dean of Men Charles Pow
ell, Col. E. C. Oates and Dean
of Women Toby Schreiber.
Law Hall went under those
hours last semester and reported
to Blakemore that the increased
visitation privileges worked quite
well with no complications.
“We feel it can go well with
the other dorms,” said Blake
more. “This is with the stipu
lation that they can perform with
local options and set their own
hours within guidelines.”
Powell based his views on the
situation by saying the students
“are grown adults who are capa
ble of handling themselves with
out problems.”
“Right now I don’t know
whether the girls really want the
boys in the dorm every day,”
Powell said. “I’ve heard some
complaints about ungentlemanly
conduct during the allowed
hours.”
Powell said he feels the hours
presently in use by the univer
sity are “fine.” He said the dorm
governments must be sure to get
the majority of opinions before
attempting to reset dorm hours.
Perry said he felt that it was
a little premature for any deci
sion but noted that he will be
responsive to the requests of stu
dents.
Perry pointed out that dormi
tories must set their programs
within the guidelines established
by the administration, regardless
of whether administrators ap
prove or disapprove of the pro
posal.
Perry also said that dormi
tories must get administration
approval to reset visitation hours
within set guidelines.
Dean Schreiber said she felt
the women in Krueger-Dunn
wouldn’t like the weekdays. She
said she also knew there were
mixed feelings on the subject.
“I think the girls are pretty
unanimous on the subject,” Dean
Schreiber said. “By and large
they don’t want weekday visita
tion, but there are mixed ideas
over hours for the weekends.”
Oates said he didn’t have all
the facts on the matter but said
any action would be subject to
Dean Hannigan’s approval.
Oates added he expects a de
cision to be made next week,
“hopefully by Wednesday.”
Students 9 Rights Defined
In Blue Book Revision
A revision and clarification of
the University’s policy on the
privacy of a student’s room is one
of the major changes proposed
and accepted for the 1972-73 edi
tion of the University Blue Book.
The old policy was not very
specific and did not cover all the
aspects of the situation. The new
policy clarifies each student’s
right to individual freedom and
personal privacy in matters of
search and seizure. It states:
“The proper University offi
cials may enter a student’s room
in a residence hall to determine
compliance with provisions of ap
plicable multiple dwelling unit
laws or for improvements or for
repairs or to dispense informa
tion.
“Additional inspection of cadet
corps rooms may be made by
authorized cadets in accordance
with corps standards.
“The authority to conduct a
‘room inspection,’ however, does
not include the authority to
search and/or seize the personal

The Brazos County Commis-

Sr*I^Station City Council have passed
r/'Vplans calling for an on-campus

national elections.
(iliti P ro P° sa l to realign Pre-
^T.-'Cinct 9 in College Station and
establish a poll on campus was
approved by a 4-1 vote of the
Commissioners Court.
The plan, drawn up by the Stu

r Precinct 9 into three precincts.
JiThe boundaries are defined geo-
[graphically by University Drive
north to the College Station city
limit, University Drive south to
Jersey Stree and south of Jersey

Student Body President Layne
Kruse noted, “and Precinct 9
exceeded that maximum last
spring.” Precinct 9 currently has
over 3,700 registered voters.
The plan will go into effect
March 1, 1973.
A second proposal presented to
the Commissioners Court by
Kruse and Barb Sears, Student
Senate external affairs chairman,
failed to pass.
The proposal called for moving
the voting site for the November
election from A&M Consolidated
to G. Rollie White Coliseum.
President Jack Williams and Dr.
Carl Landiss approved the reso
lution.
According to County Judge
William Vance, the second pro
posal was rejected because Pre
cinct 9 Chairman Dr. E. E. Burns
has already made arrangements
for the polling site to be at A&M
Consolidated.
The move by the City Council
to establish on campus polls was
made earlier in the summer. The
motion, passed unanimously July
24, applied only to city elections.
Approval by the Brazos County
Commissioners Court was needed
for state and national elections.
Kruse announced that another
voter registration drive is planned
for this fall. He hopes that the
drive will push the campus pre
cinct too high, requiring another
division of precincts. He added
that 6,000 students currently live
on campus and more are pro
jected.

“On the side of Texas A&M.”
—Adv.
Joe T. Haney has been named
associate director of the Texas
Aggie Band, announced Dean of
Students James P. Hannigan.
Haney will work with Lt. Col.
E. V. Adams in devising drills,
arranging and preparing music
for the famous A&M musical or
ganization.
Haney received his appointment
to the A&M staff after being the
director of the award-winning
Mexia High School Band for the
last 16 years. His bands won
sweepstakes awards eight times
in those 16 years. Sweepstakes
awards include UIL first division
performances in marching, con
cert playing and sight reading
each school year.
Haney will bring with him an
impressive 22 years of directing
state high school bands and will
be the Aggie Band’s first asso
ciate director. His Mexia bands
used the same marching format
as the Aggie Band.
Both Adams and Haney march
ed and played at A&M under the
late Col. Richard J. Dunn, who
directed here from 1924 to 1946.
Adams is in his 27th year direct
ing the Aggie Band.
“With Mr. Haney many things
can be accomplished that were
not possible in the past,” said
Adams of his new charge. “It
was really impossible for one man
to do the work of five people.”
Plans are in the making for
a stage band “wich will add va
riety for people interested in that
phase.” Adams said there is a
bare possibility for a volunteer-
type concert band next spring, if
the proper instrumentation can
be provided on a voluntary basis.
After a semester in the band
in 1944, Haney spent three years
with the 282nd Army Ground
Forces Band. A native Texan, he
completed his degree in music at
SMU in 1950 and received his
master’s in music education at
Sam Houstop State in 1955.
In addition to being director at
Hemphill, Calvert and Wharton,
he is a member of the Texas Band
Masters Association, Texas Music
Educators Association and Phi
Beta Mu, an honorary bandmaster
fraternity.
He was a member of the UIL
state advisory committee and
contest chairman of the UIL
region marching competition. His
Mexia bands appeared five times
on national television and won
various honors at band festivals
and contests throughout the state.
Forty members of Cwens, the
sophomore honor society for
women, are helping freshmen
girls with orientation this fall.
The National Society of Cwens
was started last spring. The or
ganization, started on campus by
Dean Toby Schreiber, is the first
of its kind in Texas and the 31st
nationally.
“The top 10 percent of the
freshman class are invited to
join,” said Cynthia Galbreath,
President. Membership is based

on service and academic achieve
ment.
“We helped host an open house
at the MSC for freshmen girls
last week,” said Cynthia. Cwens
also held a coke party this sum
mer for girls in summer school.
The service organization plans
to help in the press box at the
home football games.
Cwens, an Anglo-Saxon word
meaning “lady,” was started in
1922 in Pittsburgh with 12 girls.
Although the club helps foster
leadership in freshman girls, the
sophomore year is the active
year. Although upperclassmen
cannot vote, they are considered
alumnae and can still participate.
The National Convention of
Cwens will be held in Pittsburgh
in October. Cynthia and Dr. Ann
Marie Elmquiest will be attend

BICYCLES EVERYWHERE are a problem. But in the bike racks at the Krueger-Dunn

when accompanied by a local,
state or federal law enforcement
official with a proper search war

“In the event of sudden illness,
death, unexpected departure or
some other reason for which a
student might be absent for a
prolonged or indefinite period,
University officials are author

keeping and proper disposal, the
affected student’s personal be

on University premises.”
Other changes included the de
letion of the policy that beds be
made at all times. Also the pol
icy concerning refrigerators has
been officially changed to allow
them in dorm rooms and also
cable TV. Cooking in rooms is
still prohibited.
Several other changes were
proposed by the 1971-72 Student
Senate, but not passed. These in
cluded the omission of the nota
tion in the book concerning dress
and grooming.
A change to allow a student to
establish credit for visiting a
class if he can pass a special
exam failed to be accepted.
A proposed revision of the
pass-fail system to allow students
to have until the end of add-drop
to state their intentions in their
courses failed.
Also proposed was a revision
of the policy concerning a stu
dent’s appeal to his professor
over his grade. The new proposal
favored the student showing just
cause to his department head,
then both would review the case
with department members.
A proposal that would have al

Student cards to have automatic

passed in addition.
