Saturday Prediction: Cool
; The first fall weather system
will dominate weekend conditions
for Texas A&M’s 1972 football
opener with Wichita State Uni-
ersity at Wichita, Kan.
Developing now in Southern
Canada and Montana, the system
will trigger brief thundershowers
here Friday afternon, drop Sat
urday morning temperatures into
the low 60’s and provide virtually
ideal conditions for the game,
according to Jim Lightfoot.
The TAMU Meteorology De
partment meteorologist predicted
persons traveling to Wichita for
the game will have optimum con
ditions outside of the Friday
afternoon showers marking the
first frontal passage here since
July 4.
“The system will be in North
Dakota Wednesday and then
move southeastward into the
Great Lakes area,” said Light-
foot, whose five-day forecasts are
available to TAMU faculty-staff.
“A front trailing off the sys
tem will move into our area Fri
day at about 2 or 3 p.m., accom
panied by a line of thundershow
ers. These should be of short
duration,” he stressed. “The
front should ram on into the
gulf, become stationary and then
move back inland.”
Wichita weather Saturday will
have a morning 47-degree low and
68 high with partly cloudy skies
all day, the department weather
station manager forecast. Clouds
are expected to dissipate at sun
set.
At the 7:30 p.m. kickoff, the
temperature should be 62, drop
ping into the 50’s before the game
ends. The return trip will en
counter partly cloudy skies and
widely scattered thundershowers
and rainshowers, Lightfoot said.
Noon Physical Fitness Program Resumes Monday
A&M faculty, staff and stu
dents resume the noon physical
fitness program Monday.
Former and new participants
will meet at 12 noon in Kyle
Field with Dr. John M. Chevrette
of the Health and Physical Edu
cation Department. The inclem
ent weather site will be White
Coliseum.
For persons interested in bet
ter health through individually-
structured activities, the pro
gram has been a popular depart
ment activity for several years.
Chevrette said families of fac
ulty-staff members and gradu
ate students, particularly wives,
find the program beneficial.
Many participants are in the noon
■i mj* ’Mila
program, but others run in the
early morning and individuals
such as Dr. Johannes van Over-
beek, biology head, swim at Wof
ford Cain Pool.
The program consists basically
of a preliminary assessment of
condition at the department’s
Human Performance Laboratory
and exercises such as running,
jogging, or walking with a noon
group.
Chevrette stressed that the ex
ercise is arranged to suit in
dividual condition.
“Beyond that, the program is
not structured,” the health and
physical education professor
commented. “Individuals can go
as far as he or she wants to go.

We provide leadership and guid
ance.”
New participants may make
advance appointment at the lab
for condition assessment be
tween 12 noon and 1 p.m. week
days, by phoning Miss Jackie
Lambert or Dr. George Jessup

Persons who cannot make the
noon sessions may wish to con
tact Dr. Roger Feldman (845-
2651) about joining a group that
runs in the early morning. It
starts at 6:30 a.m. and concludes
in time for members to get to
work at 8 a.m.
“Many faculty members use
Wofford Cain Pool for noon ex
ercising,” Chevrette said. A fee
schedule for such use is available
at the Health and Physical Edu
cation Department, 845-6841.
Specific information about the
fitness program can be obtained
from Chevrette at the same num
ber.

‘Pap’ Test And Birth Control
Pill Policies Reviewed By Powe
Dr. W. H. Powe Jr., newly
appointed director of A&M Uni
versity Health Services, reviewed
university policy Tuesday con
cerning ‘Pap’ tests and contra
ceptive issuance.
With regards to performing
‘Pap’ test smears, Powe said, “We
have the facilities to perform the
lab test, if in the doctor’s judg
ment there is a need for it other
than for the purpose of initiating
birth control.”
“We do not deal with this
aspect of health care for the same
reason we don’t handle dental
work,” said Powe. “Lack of ade
quate funds to employ a full time
gynecologist to perform the serv
ice is a major reason.
“Our job is to take care of sick
and injured students and to pro-
Free University Night Tonight
Free University Night is slated to be held at 7 p.m. tonight in the
Memorial Student Center Ballroom.
The Free University is a new concept in education whereby none
of the traditional limitations of grades, credits and requirements are
enforced. The only requirement is that a group of people be willing to
learn.
Five courses have been added to the list of those being offered.
Fencing, folk music, gourmet cooking, photography and ‘The Law and
You’ are the recent additions.
Free University is a small do-it-yourself program, brought into
being by professors and students. It does not involve the traditional
university limitations such as credit hours, course requirements and
grade points.
The Free University is sponsored by the Student Government and
the MSC Council and a total of 13 courses will be offered. The Reading
Improvement course had to be dropped from the list.
Students may register at the booths which will be located in the
MSC, Academic Building, Engineering Center and the Library until the
end of the week.
Additional information may be obtained at Free University Night
or by calling the Student Government office at 845-1515.
New Apparel Industry Is Taking
Survey For Student Employment
The Industrial Division of the
Bryan-College Station Chamber of
Commerce is distributing an em
ployment survey for a large ap
parel industry in the Bryan-Col
lege Station area.
Persons 18 years of age and
older interested in potential em
ployment should complete the
survey form appearing in local
newspapers this week and return
it in person to the Chamber at
401 S. Washington, Bryan, be
tween 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday,
September 9.
The firm, a major national
manufacturer of men’s trousers,
is considering locating a plant in
the area employing 500 seam
stresses.
“This industrial pi'ospect is
aware of the living, educational
and cultural benefits of locating
in our cities, as well as other
economic factors,” explained Pat
N. Mann, Chamber Executive
Director.
The company must be con
vinced that an adequate labor
supply exists, so it is important
to get a good response.
Further developments toward
location of the plant hinge on
the outcome of the survey. The
company is not presently com
mitted.
Mann emphasized the com
pany’s desire that individuals
return the completed form in
person to the Chamber of Com

Powe. “We have to time to per

Powe. “We have no time to per-
dents could qualify for treatment
by the Family Planning Center,
which does perform ‘Pap’ smears
and prescribe birth control pills.
Birth control pills do not come
under the heading of necessary
medicine and are not issued by
the clinic, although they can re
issue a prescription for the pills.
He listed as two problems the
increased workload on the present
staff and social and political rea
sons as the probable basis of the
present policy.
Powe contends that breaking
with tradition in a conservative
state would bring about possible
repercussions.
“I think it would be more ap
propriate to have chest X-rays on
a larger scale because of the
higher probability of problems in
that area,” Powe said.
Powe concluded that he fore
sees no change in the adminis
tration’s policy toward issuing
contraceptives but plans to dis
cuss the issue with the board of
directors for clarification.
Mixer In The
Grove Friday
The Civilian Student Council,
along with the Student‘Y’Associ
ation and the Corps of Cadets,
will sponsor two mixers this
weekend in an effort to acquaint
campus men and women.
Civilian Student Council Presi
dent Mark Blakemore said “Six
Easy Pieces,” a rock band from
Beaumont, will play for the Fri
day and Saturday night affairs.
The Friday night mixer will
be from 8 p.m. until midnight in
the Grove. Saturday night is a
chance to support the Fightin’
Aggie Football Team in their
devastating victory over Wichita
State. The game will be broad
cast at 7:15 p.m. over the P.A.
system onto the Main Drill Field.
There will be free refreshments
and a yell practice during half
time. Both mixers are open to
all students free of cost.
According to Blakemore, the
Corps came up with the idea at
the same time as the CSC. As a
result the CSC is sponsoring the
band; the Corps is in charge of
the arrangements and the man
power; and the Student ‘Y’ is
handling the publicity.
“If the mixers go over well, we
may try to have them again next
weekend when the Aggies play
Nebraska,” said Blakemore.
