Committee Says Extra Bus Needed For Plantation Oaks The second meeting of the Shuttle Bus Committee was held Thursday to hear reports on cur rent investigations of various ways to include the Plantation Oaks Apartments on bus routes. Kent Caperton, assistant to President Jack K. Williams, said the committee concluded it would be impossible timewise to include the apartments. He said the buses are currently bung- filled before they ever reach the Plantation Oaks Apart ments. It would be impossible to include riders from the apart ments without omitting some rid ers from other apartments, he added. Caperton said the committee de cided the only way to include Plantation Oaks in the universi ty’s new shuttle bus service is to add an extra bus to the system. “Funds aren’t available yet for such an action,” he said. “But a group of students and faculty have been selected to find ways of acquiring funds for the extra bus.” The next meeting of the com mittee is slated for 8:30 a.m. Thursday in the conference room of the president’s office. All per sons interested are invited to at tend.

Senate Eases By Appointments; Sets Sr. Yell Leader Election The 1972-73 Student Senate eased through its first meeting of the fall semester Thursday night in the Zachry Engineering Center, passing six resolutions and approving university commit tee and judicial committee ap pointments. As part of old business from last spring, the Senate approved Student Government President Layne Kruse’s appointments to the judicial branch of the newly structured government. Ty Griesenbeck was approved for the judicial branch chairman by a wide majority of those vot ing. Others appointed to the com mittee were sophomores Mike Perrin and Keith Tyler; juniors Chet Edwards and Mark Fitte; seniors Shannon Turner and Bill Hatherill; and Dick Zepeda, grad uate student. A ninth judicial member still needs to be appointed. Kruse said any graduate students wishing to seek appointment should con tact him Monday in the Student Government Office in the MSC. With relatively little debate, the Senate then approved the resolution which will provide a special election for the vacant head yell leader post. The resolu tion specifies that candidates and voters be academic seniors and gives the Judicial Committee re view power over disputes in the election. Debate did ensue over the eventually-approved Aggie Sweet heart resolution which asked that the student body be allowed to vote on the sweetheart after a screening committee had narrow ed the field of applicants down to between six and 10. Controversy on the proposal centered around the two possible methods of picking an A&M coed as the sweetheart. Under the approved method she will be screened first and elected by the students. The alternate method would have had the sweetheart picked by a committee, as has been done in the past. In other business, senior Nick Jiga (sr.-Arch.) presented the Senate with a proposal which would allow the formation of a Campus Planning Committee. Jiga’s measure brought out numerous questions concerning the so-called “master plan” for the campus. He said, “Bad plan ning is resulting from different campus factions working separately.” “If we allow the campus to be built badly,” said Jiga, “then fu ture students will be unhappy. We, in turn, won’t be too happy with the picture, either.” The Senate passed Jiga’s meas ure which will allow the commit tee to determine the wishes of students and make suggestions to the administration for the over all campus plan. A committee to study problems with prices at the A&M Exchange Store was approved by the Sen ate after Darrell Baker (sr.- Arch.) presented a resolution asking to find ways to lower book costs. Mark Cuculic (Sr.-Engr.) re ported to senators that Charles Cargill, manager of the store, told him that he (Cargill) was anxious for the committee to be formed and is looking forward to working with it. Baker added that ways would be sought to reduce prices on items without reducing dividends given to campus organizations. Student Trio Attends TISA Convention Three A&M students left Fri day morning for the Texas Inter collegiate Student Association’s annual workshop being held in Lubbock at Texas Tech Univer sity. Student Government President Layne Kruse, and his vice-presi dent, Randy Ross, are attending the workshop with External Af fairs Committee Chairman Barb Sears to decide whether A&M’s Student Government should rejoin after being an inactive member during the 1972-73 school year. “We need to decide if joining the organization is worth our time and money,” said Sears. “But we also want to take part in the workshop sessions and meet stu dent leaders from other Texas colleges and universities.” Sears noted that A&M was very active in the association two years ago when ex-Student Sen ate President Tom Henderson was the executive-president of the TISA group. She described the association as a student union of schools in Tex as which promotes communication among schools and establishes a means for obtaining common goals. “Some of the goals have been very dear to many students our age,” said the junior committee chairman. “Issues like the fight against the rising cost of tuition and the 18-year-old vote have been worked on quite vigorously by TISA.” Sears said the group is not officially a student lobby but add ed it “does work very closely with the legislature.” “Since Tom left TISA, it really hasn’t done too much,” Sears said, “and that is why we aren’t committing A&M as a member yet.” The three A&M representatives will be given a chance to partici pate in a series of workshops which includes legal rights, vot er registration, student discount programs and legislative dealings while at the TISA convention. In addition, state figureheads such as John Tower, Dolph Bris coe, John Hill, Hank Grover and Barefoot Sanders will be guest luncheon and dinner speakers. “If we like what we see, we will propose a resolution at. the next Senate meeting asking that A&M join,” said Sears. TY GRIESENBECK, newly appointed head of the Judi cial Branch of the Student Government, took his place in Thursday’s Senate meeting, advising senators on the Judicial By-Laws. Applications Start Monday For Head Yell Leader Spot A special election will be held for the position of A&M head yell leader on Tuesday, Sept. 19, as a result of Thursday night’s Student Senate meeting in the Zachry Engineering Center. The Senate passed the resolution because of the vacancy created by the resignation of Head Yell Leader C.H. Long for personal reasons. Applications will be taken for the position at the MSC r r r.. Student Programs Office starting at 8 a.m. Monday, said Steve Vincent, Chairman of the Student Election Board. Vincent said the deadline for filing applications will be 5 p.m. Wednesday at the office. The position is open to academic seniors. According to the Senate resolution, candidates must be undergraduate males with a minimum grade point ratio of 2.250. These are essentially the same requirements as those established for candidates in the 1972 spring election. Polling places for the election will be at the MSC, Library, Sbisa newsstand and the Guard Room in the corps area. The head yell leader will be selected in time to make the trip to the LSU football game. Prospective candidates with any additional questions should contact Vincent at 845-4682. Pioneer Atomic Scientist To Lecture Friday Night Dr. Alan Walsh of Australia, the pioneer scientist in the atomic absorption concept, will give a graduate lecture at 7:30 p.m. Fri day, Sept. 8, at Texas A&M Uni versity. His program, “Non-Dispersive Systems in Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy,” will be held in Zachry Engineering Center Au ditorium 2 under sponsorship of the TAMU Chemistry Department in cooperation with the Activa tion Analysis Research Labora tory. Dr. Walsh first proposed the atomic absorption concept in 1955 and has since been the outstand ing leader of this successful tech nique of chemical trace analysis. He is in the U. S. to receive the Society for Applied Spectroscopy Gold Medal at the group’s annual meeting in Dallas. Educated at Manchester (Eng land) University, Dr. Walsh in 1946 joined the Spectroscopy Sec tion, Division of Chemical Phy sics, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organi zation in Melbourn, Australia. He was named chief research scientist and assistant division chief in 1958.
