The Australian performer '“is a compelling singer—one with an elusive something extra to put her above the crowd,” observed ‘Cash Box” review. R‘She’11 be a fresh-air pleasure 0((! !to have around for a long time,” ilytyped Karin Berg in “Rolling Stone.” “She’s electric with free dom” and “sings with the sense of a woman who’s learned some thing.” It may have come from her first single on Capitol, the smash “I Don’t Know How to Live Him” from “Jesus Christ Superstar.” The first Helen Reddy album by the same name lived up to expec tations and her second single from the album “Crazy Love” followed up the charts. Song-painter rather than song writer has come to be the Mac Davis synonym, because of the outstanding voice he matches with writing that “exhibits the rich dynamics of pop while reflecting the touch of a country poet.” The Lubbock native’s expertise also shows in his writing credits, for such notables as Elvis Presley, Bobby Goldsboro, Sammy Davis, Glen Campbell and The Letter- men. His “I Believe in Music” has been used for numerous TV shows and themes and has been recorded by many top artists. He has three gold records. Davis appeared on 13 “Tonight” and “David Frost” shows in six months. His talents were also on the Glen Campbell, Smothers Brothers, Everly Brothers, Red Skelton, Don Knotts and Johnny Cash shows. Davis made more than 40 college concerts last year. The writer of “In The Ghetto,” “Don’t Cry Daddy, “Watching Scotty Grow” and more recorded by other artists uses subtlety in his lyrics, rather than bitter rhetoric or strong protest. In his first Columbia album, “Mac Davis: Song Painter,” the star performer creates and inter prets the music.

The University Police awaits a decision from the administra tion before bicycle registration can be enforced, said Chief of University Police O. L. Luther. Luther initiated the University Machine lecture series Wednes day night with a question and answer session concerning cam pus police. The A&M Student Government and the Great Issues Committee co-sponsor the series. A small crowd focused its main questions on bicycle registration. “We would hope very much to have volunteer registration,” said Luther. “I don’t think we’ll get to the point of putting chains on all unregistered bikes.” Students complained about the bicycle fee, the size and shape of bike racks, yearly replacement of registration tags and insufficient lighting around several racks. “I can see paying $1 for the licenses,” said one student, “but not $2 more for bike racks.” Luther emphasized that the University Police only enforced the rules. They do not make them. Students with complaints about university regulations con cerning bicycles should make them to the University Traffic Panel. A copy of bicycle regulations are available when a student reg isters his bike. These regulations include such items as no riding of bikes on the mall and stopping at stop signs. Only warning tickets will be issued until the administration decides on a final registration policy, said Luther. The University regulation of no liquor on campus was also mentioned. The rule is not a state law unless the person in possession of the beverage is a minor. “We know there is liquor in the dorms,” said Luther, “but we won’t enforce the rule unless we receive a complaint.” He also said the resident advisor was notified of the liquor before the police took action. For an officer to search a stu dent’s room, he must have a search warrant stating the per son’s name and the reason for the search. In 1971, when Luther came to A&M, search warrants were not used. The warrants are now used to treat students fairly and abide by constitutional rights, said Luther. “The Student Government has failed the student body by not representing them in the area of traffic regulations,” said Bill Hartsfield, chairman of the Aca demic Affairs Committee for the Student Government. “We attempted to correct it by having the University Police here tonight but the student body failed us,” said Hartsfield, con cerning the small attendance at the lecture. Texas A&M and the University of Texas will be suggested today by Texas House Rep. Ray Lem mon to perform an environmental impact study on coastal condi tions as a result of recent legis lative action. The Texas House passed Wed nesday and sent to the Senate a bill creating a state commission to accommodate jumbo oil tankers. The final vote was 120-7 on the bill by Houston Rep. Ray Lem mon. The bill originally would have given the commission power to locate, finance, build and operate the so-called “superport.” But it was watered down in the House Appx-opidations Committee at the insistance of Rep. Fred Agnich of Dallas, House Republican minor ity leader. In its present form, the com mission would prepare plans, in cluding site recommendations and proposed steps to protect the coastal environment, and submit them to the legislature. Agnich added a floor amendment requh - - ing that one of the nine commis sion members appointed by the governor be a recognized expert on the coastal environment. Louisiana currently is pushing plans for a deepwater port off the coast of that state. Lemmon told the House that Texas needs a means to berth for jumbo tankers in order to obtain the large quantities of foreign oil required as “feed stock” for the state’s petroleum i-efineries. Such tankers also could carry other commodities. Domestic oil production “will be scraping the ' bottom of the barrel in about eight years,” Lemmon said, endangering 300,- 000 refinery jobs in Texas. “The legislature must find a way for an offshore terminal to be built,” Lemmon said. “Suppose it found the port would damage our envix-onment. Then where axe we?” Rep. Rex Bx-aun asked. What action to take would have to be left to the “judgnxent of the legislature,” Lemmon replied. The Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra Club issued a statement Wednesday urging full study be fore any action is taken on super port legislation. Tony Athens, chapter president, said development and industrial ization of the Texas Gulf Coast has had harmful environmental consequences and “the supei’port issue presents and increased di mension for environmental dan ger.” Rep. Dave Finney of Fort Worth tried unsuccessfully to add amendments that would prevent Gov. Preston Smith from appoint ing the Texas Offshore Terminal Commission, leaving that power to the governor who takes office in January. “I think it would be a slap in the face to take away from him something his staff has been working on for a long time,” said Rep. Carl Parker of Port Arthur. Agnich said he insisted in com mittee on weakening the commis sion’s power because “I didn’t want the port started without the legislature having another look at it.” Oil companies in a gx-oup now planning a deepwater port called “SEADOCK” also opposed the bill, but lawmakers said they “kept a low profile.” Finney added an amendment stating that the plan developed by the committee must include pi'ovisions for fixing responsibil ity for spills and pollution insult ing from the port. The plan also would have to include a compari son between the cost of the port and the benefits it would provide Maroon And White Barrels May Help ‘Hard-Times’Ags After home football games you may have noticed maroon and white bai-rels at the gates as you left. These am Campus Chest bar- mis, part of the fund designed to help Aggies in times of finan cial emergencies. Such emei-gen- cies include such unforeseen crises as deaths in the family, personal injury or illness, or even theft. Through Campus Chest, Aggies victimized by such emergencies are able to continue their educa tion or affoxd the txdp back home if they live far away. Money from Campus Chest is also used to pay for flowers sent to families of departed Ags. The Senate Welfare Committee is responsible for appropriating funds for Ags in need, and Alpha Phi Omega, a national service fx-aternity, supplies manpower necessaxy to collect the contribu tions to Campus Chest. In addition to the barrel drive, Campus Chest x-eceives money from the Aggie Sweetheax-t Dance and the annual dorm drive. In the dorm drive, Corps outfits and civilian doimis compete to make the greatest contribution, per capita, to Campus Chest. Both the leading Corps outfit and ci vilian dorm will x’eceive a Campus Chest plaque to hang on the out side of the dorm as recognition of their giving. The goal of Campus Chest for 1972 is $2,000, and a large “ther mometer” will be displayed on campus to give students a day-to- day recox-d of progress in x-eaching that goal. The drive will end after the A&M-Riee football game, Oc tober 18. Hopefully, you will not need coins for some personal crisis, but your Aggie bud might. Sweetheart To Be Named Saturday The 1972-73 Aggie Sweetheart will be pinned, presented with roses, and will receive the tradi tional kiss from Student Body President Layne Kruse during the half-time of the game with Texas Tech. Finalists for the title will be presented Friday during Town Hall. After the game, a dance will take place in Duncan Dining Hall from 10 p.m.-l a.m. The A&M student body is invited at $1 per couple and 50c stag. The band featured at the dance will be 1900 Storm from Galves ton. The group has released an album and a single, and patterns after the Rolling Stones. The band will include the com mercial top 40 in their repertoire for the evening. They will also include songs by the Allman Brothers Band. Luther Reviews Policies Established For Parking Cars In University Apartment Lots UNIVERSITY POLICE CHIEF, O. L. Luther, clarifies his department’s present position on bicycle registration enforcement at the first University Machinery Lecture Wednesday. University Police Chief O. L. Luther re-asserted the current policy set up by the TAMU Sys tem Board of Dix-ectors on park ing perxxxits for persons who park their cars on university housing properties. The way the policy is estab lished, students must register cars to park on any property owned by the system, although no definite charge is stated in the board’s policy. Luther said he presented a re quest at the University Traffic Panel’s Friday meeting to reduce the cost of permits for married students to $3.50 per semester or $6 per year. Under this suggested policy, students having these permits would not be allowed to operate um- i its ‘Distinguished Alumni 9 To Be Honored Dedication Ceremonies Set Saturday Texas A&M’s new x'esidence halls will be fonnally dedicated Satxxrday at 2 p.m. in honor of two of the University’s “Distin guished Alumni,” J. Harold Dunn of Amarillo and C. C. (Polly) Krueger of San Antonio. Kxueger, who retired in 19(51 as president of San Antonio Ma chine and Supply Co., received a B.S. degree in civil engineering at A&M in 1912. He was px-esident of the Asso ciation of Former Students, 1924- 25 and member of the board of directoi-s 1947 to 1953. In 1952, he donated 24 oil paint ings to the university and recently added two more to the collection. Krueger was the first presi dent of the San Antonio A&M Club and co-oi'ganizer of the San Antonio A&M Mothers’ Club. He was awax-ded the Distin guished Alumni Awax-d four years ago in recognition of his profes sional and civic achievements, as well as for his long and devoted seiwice to the University. J. Harold Dunn, who xetired in 1969 as Chairman of the Execu tive Committee of Diamond-Sham- x'oek Corp., received a B.S. degree froxxx A&M in 1925 and an M.E. degree in 1938. C. C. Krueger J. H. Dunn He was pi’esident of The Asso ciation of Fonner Stxxdents in 1953-54 and member of the board of dii’ectors from 1953-59. He was vice pi’esident of the board in 1957. Dunn was also chairman of the Texas A&M Century Council in 1962 and is a life member of the A&M Research Foxxndation. He x’e- ceived the Distinguished Alumni Awai’d in 1964. Clyde H. Wells, president of the TAMU System Board of Di- x-ectors, will dedicate the build ings at the cex-emony. Special mu sic will be provided by The New jTradition Singers, directed by Mr. Robert L. Bonne. Refreshments will be served on the upper level of the Commons following the program. Guests ai’e invited to join in tours of the two residence halls. Students will be waiting in the foyer of the Commons to serve as escorts, beginning at 3 p.m. their vehicles on the main versity campus nor pax-k oi grounds. This would pertain only to stu dents living in College View, Hensel and southside Varsity Apax-tments. Students would still be able to purchase day-student permits at the regular cost to other day-students if they de sired to park on campus. “We suggested this last year to the administration,” said Lu ther, “but it got defeated some where along the line in its proc essing.” “Our only aim is to bring down the cost of permits to these stu dents since they can walk, ride bicycles or take the shuttle bus to the campus.” Luther said he had received a number of complaints from stu dents who said other day-students were parking their cars in the married student lots, then taking the shuttle bus to school. He said issuance of a different permit could control this. Luther also reported that Gail Rennie Perry, of 1010 Foster, was injured late Tuesday when hex- car was stx-uck from the rear by Melvin Lee Rivex-s, of 700 Dom inick. The accident occurred near the intersection of E. Main Gate and State Highway 6 and that Rivers was charged with failure to con trol his speed. Miss Perry was taken to the University Hospital by the Univexsity Police and re leased late Wednesday afternoon after treatment for head injux-ies. Banking is a pleasure Bank & Trust. at First *—Adv.
