Shuttle Bus Committee mem-
rs met Thursday to discuss the

id ways to subsidize the services,
th items were tabled until the

“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.

'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.”

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

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

the police office.

on Thursday.
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.

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

support of other organizations
such as the Former Students as
relief for fund suppliance. No
action came of the discussion,
however. v
