or heavy starch along with press

Students are encouraged to
check with the laundry concern
ing lost or damaged articles,
Hartsock explained. He empha
sized such incidents are rare and
if the student would bring in his
laundry ticket and file a claim,
a settlement could be made in
a few days.
Hartsock noted the laundry is
a self-sustaining auxiliary enter
prise which receives no state
funds. “We operate on laundry
fees alone, and if the student has
a legitimate claim, we pay it. It
is their service and their money,”
he said.
The Laundry Committee is an
excellent way to air students sug
gestions, Hartsock noted. The
student committee works with
the laundry to improve service
for the students.
Last year the committee initi
ated an optional plan for stu
dents in lieu of the standard 35
piece bundle described on the
laundry ticket. Under this plan,
a student may send any combi
nation of pieces so long as the
total cost does not exceed $1.47.
The plan may be designated by
writing $1.47 in bold letters
across the bottom of the ticket.
Suggestions should be submit
ted to this year’s committee:
Kevin Bean, Jay McElroy, Tim
Jordan, Jane Logan, James Grif
fith, Juan Gonzales and Melvin
Noack.
While analyzing the different construction phases at A&M and
other proposed systems under construction, one should not lose sight
of the fact that everything can’t be accomplished overnight.
Sometimes it seems as though students look with such impatience
on programs, they quickly lose sight of all rationalism and reality on
subjects.
We think we have an administration that is willing to listen to the
students’ ideas and measure them against ideas supposedly starting to
reach implementation. Heated argument is definitely in order
sometimes, but only when two sides aren’t communicating.
We at the Batt frequently wish we could say, “Poof,” and every
parking problem, every bicycle gripe and every other controversial
subject could be instantly solved. Too bad, that’s not the way it goes, at
r least riot at A&M.
Realize this, and A&M may have a healthy atmosphere. Realize
this, and we may get all our gripes solved a lot quicker through direct
communication, not confrontation.
Aggie Band Trip
We Goofed
Yes, we made a mistake in Tuesday’s editorial concerning the
newly implemented shuttle bus system at A&M.
The system is costing students a total of $61,600 for the entire
school year and not just one semester. All other pertinent facts were
correct, although philosophical differences may appear between the
reader and the paper.

‘Marche Slav’,” Colonel Adams
said.
A completely new movement
simulating pass-through of the
halved band will reform the or
ganization into its 12 man front,
24 rank regular maz-ching for
mation.
Adams said the drill, timed to
six minutes, 53.2 seconds, will
conclude with the Aggie Band’s
trademark block moying “T”.
“The sound achieved by the
band is much better than it has
been at this early stage of the
season in previous years,” he
added. “This is due to this year’s
freshmen coming from outstand
ing high school bands in Texas,
California, Oregon, Iowa and
Virginia.”
Arrangements for the trip are
being handled by Aggie Band op
erations officer Arnold England
of Brookshire and supply officer
Phil Kana of Eagle Lake.

cerning the shuttle bus. The Shut
tle Bus Committee says it would
like to have a seventh bus when
it is currently using five out of
the six it already has.
Have these buses ever been
formally approved? We, the on-
campus students and those off-
campus students that are not
served by the buses are paying
almost all of that $50,000 per
year for the six buses that they
can’t use.
A minimum of about 80 per
cent of the students attending
A&M can’t ride these buses. Since
it is not feasible to run buses to
the dorms until the cars are clear
ed out, and the cost is so high
anyway, then why have the sys
tem.
Why is our administration us
ing all of this money to bus only
3,000 people around campus?
Kevin Hinds ’75
Editor’s note: The shuttle bus
project, which involved both Stu
dent Government and the admin
istration in the planning stage,
will be discussed at an open meet
ing of the Shuttle Bus Committee
at 8:30 a.m. Thursday. The meet
ing site has been changed to the
Library Conference Room (Room
226).
Editor:
The Texas A&M Wheelmen is
a bicycling club, on campus, with
a program of rides, cycle main-
taince, and events designed to
appeal to all riders. The club,
in a positive approach, has sub
mitted a traffic flow proposal to
the Traffic Safety Committee.
This proposal and others are cur
rently being evaluated by the
committee. Students who wish to
participate in the program are
welcome to attend club meetings,
Sept. 26, and Oct. 10, in the
MSC.
An example of club activities is
the Bicycle Rodeo being held this
Saturday, at 10 a.m. in the large
parking lot near Zachry Engi
neering Center. The Bicycle Ro
deo is a fun contest of rider skills,
necessary for campus traffic sur
vival. Prizes in both men’s and
women’s divisions. Everyone may
enter, as the contest does not fa
vor any particular type of bicycle.
Lets’ work together on our
traffic problem.
