Student Program Office in the
PCHemorial Student Centre.
te.Mac Davis once had name con-
Jflfusion problems, no longer with
JJ^he No. 1 single on the national
V^list. Miss Reddy also has “I
Am Woman,” a sort of women’s
ib theme, in the top 40.
She was a popular TAMU
ampus performer last year, with
(-—John Denver for the Town Hall
Wootball opener.
"'/'HA recent guest on the Carol
Show, she picks a song
have meaning for
er. 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

‘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.
