(Photo by Darrell ’obb) Buses Cited As Valuable Service; Additions Tabled K R ly VICKIE ASH WILL taff Writer Shuttle Bus Committee mem- rs met Thursday to discuss the dition of a bus to the system id ways to subsidize the services, th items were tabled until the xt meeting. “With an increasing off-campus pulation and a commensurate [crease in traffic congestion, an [f-campus bus system was view- as a valuable student service, he service was viewed as bene- ling not only the riders, but also jhiefiting the entire campus pop- Jation by at least partially al- Iviating traffic congestion and inlands on parking space,” stat- d Kent Caperton, chairman. IStudents sitting in on the meet- fjtr pointed out that another bus Was really quite a necessity on route 2 which goes in the vicin- ty of the Plantation Oaks apart ments as the present buses are 'omeroy Opens jecture Series Dr. Edward C. Pomeroy, exec- ;ive director of the American ssociation of Colleges for acher Education, opens the exas A&M 1972-73 University pecturer Series Monday with a discussion of “The University and [he Education of Teachers.” Calling himself an “educational bureaucrat,” Dr. Pomeroy has been with AACTE since 1951. He built the organization into an ef fective forum for teacher educa tors to get theip views into the nation’s capital. His talk, sponsored by the Col- Jges of Education, will begin at p.m. in the Zachry Engineering ienter Main Lecture Hall. The series is entering its ninth ear, with four presentations cheduled. It is designed to give he university and community the pportunity to hear authorities n subjects of broad social, po- itical and intellectual interest. Dr. Pomeroy holds a bachelor's legree from American Interna- ional College, M.A. and Doctor )f Education degrees from Col- imbia’s Teachers College and lonorary doctorates from Tren- lon State and Eastern Kentucky. The Massachusetts native is a World War II Navy veteran who ivas assistant to the general sec retary of the Teachers College at Columbia before joining AACTE. He is a member of numerous professional groups and a con sultant to the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Ed ucation and the Council on In struction and Professional Devel opment, a division of the Na tional Education Association. always overpacked. Students also mentioned that buses were nec essary in several cases for some students to get to school. Presently five buses are run ning with one bus on reserve. The total cost to operate these buses for the school year is $91,- 900 with $50,000 coming from stu dent service fee reserve. The ad dition of one more bus to the present system would take $5,500 out of the service fee reserve. “The justifications for using service fees are numerous, the primary one being there is no sin gle activity supported by these fees which is used by the entire student body. Rather, a variety of activities are funded, ranging from the Athletic Department, to intramurals, to The Battalion, to MSC programs, to the shuttle bus service. Hopefully, sorrre sem blance of a ‘public interest’ is served by the sum total of these various activities,” said a state ment issued by the committee. The remaining money ($11,000) came from the Auxiliary Enter prises Administration account. The second item on the agenda concerned long range planning, for future methods for subsidiz ing the shuttle system. The three methods brought before the com mittee were to have the bus riders pay a dime to 20 cents each time they rode on the bus, have riders pay a small amount to ride the bus and subsidize this with money from the student service fee re serve or to completely fund the bus services from the student services fee reserve. The contractual commitment for this project was made for one year, with the provision included that the service could be elimi nated after one semester of op eration, with no penalty to TAMU, said the statement is sued. This contingency was in cluded in the event the current bus system did not provide a val uable student service. A faculty-student committee was established to “ensure that all facets of the bus service op erate satisfactorily within the scope of the contract,” said Ca perton. Currently the committee is in volved in evaluating the current service, evaluating requests from various housing concentrations not currently served by the sys tem and studying a variety of possibilities for an expanded shuttle bus system beyond the current service and for the fund ing of that system, whatever it may be. The committee has not yet made any decision or commitment concerning such an expanded sys tem and no decision will be with out full student participation. “The service is supported by the students,” said Dean Powell, also a member of the committee. “If the students want the shuttle system, we’ll have it. If they don’t we won’t.” By JOY McCLESKEY Staff Writer The A&M Student Senate was presented with the opportunity to join two politically-oriented stu dent organizations Thursday night at its bi-monthly meeting but only voted to join one and tabled the other. The Senate approved joining Announcement System Notv In Operation A phone announcement system to inform students of events on campus is in operation again this year, announced Logan E. Wes ton, YMCA general secretary and religious life co-ordinator. To get each day’s announce ments, students should call 845- 6311. Announcements which apply to a majority of the students are made on the system, explained Weston. Such events include yell practice, athletic events, Silver Taps and the like. He noted events such as hometown club meetings, dorm notices, and corps administrative notices are not acceptable. People wishing to make an nouncements may do so by filling out forms available in the YMCA office, Room 102 of the YMCA building, by 3:30 p.m., the day before the announcement is to be made. Announcements should be as brief as possible and will be for one day only. Recordings are done first thing in the morning, and recordings for Friday include announcements for Saturday and Sunday. the Texas Intercollegiate Student Association by a standing vote of 56-22. The other organization under consideration was the Na tional Student lobby. External Affairs Committee Chairman Barb Sears pointed out to senators that TISA will cost the Student Government $130 to join. She noted several activities of the organization which includ ed coordinating action against tu ition raises, supporting a Texas Legal Defense Fund and heading a petition drive to grant all re sponsibilities and rights to 18- year-old citizens. She said the group will work on forming a Texas Student Lobby in conjunction with TISA and would lobby for consumer and tenant protection. They will also fight compulsory on-campus residency after the age of 21. After much discussion, the Senate tabled the National Stu dent Lobby membership proposal. Various contrasting views were presented, including ones that said A&M shouldn’t waste its time worrying about national issues. Sen. Chris St. John said it would be nice to be a member, but A&M needs the money at home. Others pointed out that A&M is becoming an isolationist school and urged the Senate to broaden its scope of interests by joining. A proposal to postpone Mon day’s bicycle registration was offered by Students of Concern Chairman Terry Brown. Brown said he felt the fee should be approved by the Senate before registration begins Mon day. Brown pointed out that future plans for bike paths could possibly be eliminated with the Bike Registration Slated To Begin Monday Bicycle registration will begin Monday at selected locations on campus, announced University Police Chief O. L. Luther Thursday. The new regulations require each bicycle operated on campus to be registered. The term ‘campus’ is interpreted as any property under the jurisdiction of Texas A&M University. All bicycles must be registered by Oct. 10, 1972. Walton, Schumacher and Hotard residents will register Monday in Lounge C. Residents of Davis—Gary, Mclnnis, Moore and Crocker will register Tuesday in Lounge B. Hughes, Fowler, Keithly and Moses residents will register Wednesday in Lounge A—2. Residents of Law, Puryear and Milner will register in the University Police Office in the YMCA on Thursday. Hart and Legget residents will register Friday in the police office. Residents of Dorms l,3,5,7,9 and 11 will register in Lounge C the following Monday. Dorms 2,4,6,8,10 and 12 will register in Lounge D on Tuesday.

Residents of the Southside Apartment area will register at the front entrance of the Coliseum on Friday. Students must bring their bicycles at the scheduled locations to have a metal permit attached. It would expedite the registration if each student knows the serial number of his bicycle beforehand. Anyone who is not able to observe the above schedule should bring their bicycle to the police office for registration. A separate schedule is being issued for faculty, staff and other employees. closing of the campus to cars in the near future. He also sug gested the Senate ask for the removal of the $3 registration fee. Dean of Men Charles Powell pointed out to the Senate that the money for already-purchased bike racks could not come from state funds, by virtue of state statutes. He said the money previously used to pay for part of the racks had to be transferred from other funds and regained through a fee on registration. Graduate Senator Burt Her man suggested the Senate ask for support of other organizations such as the Former Students as relief for fund suppliance. No action came of the discussion, however. v Ty Griesenbeck, Judicial Com mittee Chairman, presented his committee’s by-laws for Senate (See Senate, page 2) Students Needing Tutors Should Contact TAMSS Ed Jordan, chairman of Texas A&M Scholastic Service, has an nounced students who have not been contacted by their tutors should contact their TAMSS dorm representative.
