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.
