Fred Dollar late Thursday .fternoon in a brief meeting held \rith several student leaders at ibisa. “They really have no per- lission to move them out.” Hhis was one of many com- nents made by the Food Services lirector of A&M’s three main lining halls for board students. Bollar later discussed the over- ■problem in a meeting of the Jivilian Student Council. Hoe Arredondo, a member of BSbisa menu board, maintained bt cup ‘guards’ placed at the linjng hall exits were really un- plled for since all they were do- Br was creating a negative atti- pe among the students. j|Just because people protest a ■tain action,” said Dollar, ‘doesn’t mean we should make a ihinge in policy.” |Dollar said he had personally hdught students would be in ajor of stopping people from tong extra cups and food from he dining hall since it was cost- ■ extra money. Hi would guess we are losing ipproximately $250 per week in jarbonated beverages alone,” said Hlar. “Who is going to stop t? Students will carry the whole Hce off if we let them. If they Hit to vote to carry out every- hing, that’s fine with me.” ■rredondo said he had talked ■ several waiters at Sbisa and Kde an “on the spot” survey of ■dents who ate at Sbisa. All ft said they could not see a rood reason for posting guards it the door. LHe noted that waiters had told lini there had been a significant Hrease in the number of un- ftsed trays and added that the yaiters didn’t fully understand Ihy they were guarding the door. He said he had received con fused and upset answers because students had not been informed of w'hat w'as going on and why. Dollar said that in the past he and his staff had looked the other w r ay when a student walked out of Sbisa wdth some food, but with the advent of carbonated drinks and a marked increase in loss of money due to the cost of the car bonated drinks, some form of ac tion had to be taken. When Arredondo said he could n’t believe that the cost of drinks taken out of the dining hall was more than the cost of paying the waiters to guard the doors, Dol lar told him that the carbonated drinks cost approximately five cents per cup, including the cost of the cup, and that he estimated that approximately 1,500 students w T ere taking cups and drinks out of the dining hall at each major meal. Referring to the guards, Dollar stated that this service would help keep Food Services from los ing money which w r ould be used on major renovations in the din ing hall. CSC Discusses Costs, Reasoning For Policy “DOLLAR DIPLOMACY’ behind the recent enforce ment of the policy forbidding food and cup removal from Sbisa dining halls was explained Thursday night to the Civilian Student Council. Col. Fred Dollar, Food Services director at A&M, answered questions about the sudden en forcement. SC0NA XVIII Planners Visit Washington Idea inputs to the 18th Student Telecommunications, and Clayton Conference on National Affairs topic, “The Controlled Society,” were broadened by Chet Edwards and Phil Smith recently in Wash ington, D. C. The SCONA XVIII chairman and vice chairman spent four days at the capital in late September for visits and talks with various governmental and other officials. They met with Cong. Olin E. Teague, Clay Whitehead, director of the White House Office of Olsen, president of the National Student Lobby, among others. TAMU’s Student Senate voted this week to join the NSL. “The purpose of the trip was to gain a better understanding and perspective of important and /•elevant issues concerning our topic,” explained Smith. Edwards and Smith, working with 70 other students on the Feb. 14-17 conference, have four months remaining to finalize all aspects of SCONA XVIII. Edwards noted that the con ference fund drive has reached about 50 per cent of its goal. SCONA must pay its own way; no student fee funds nor univer sity monies go into its budget. “The success of our summer fund drive is being proven by the inflow of contributions,” Edwards commented. “The Christmas drive should bring SCONA XVIII up to its budgeted level.” Scott Steffler, accounting ma jor of Houston, chairs the finance committee. By LARRY MARSHALL Managing Editor “The increasing number of stu dents taking drinks and food out of Sbisa Dining Hall prompted us to put guards at the doors,” ex plained Fred Dollar, director of Food Services, to the Civilian Student Council Thursday night. “There has always been a rule prohibiting taking food out of dining halls,” Dollar noted, “but we’ve been looking the other way until now. But it is now costing us money.” “It is costing about $250 a week in carbonated beverages being taken out. I’ve also seen students take out stacks of ice cream and several sandwiches,” Dollar said. “The only way to allow carry out is to issue a limited amount of food to each student,” said Dollar. “But I know of nowhere else that allows one to eat all he can, then take some more out.” Much of the controversy over the recent enforcement of this rule is due to not having had it explained to the students or wait- ex - s beforehand, said Joe Arre dondo, Sbisa menu board member. “Many of the people I talked to are not going to bus their trays until this is changed,” said Hughes Hall President John Beth- ancourt. “And many are trying to leave with full cups and then throwing them away when they can’t take them out.” “Board students who eat in Duncan Dining Hall have always had guards at the door, and it is a normal thing,” commented Paul Zinser, Utay Hall president. “There is no reason why everyone shouldn’t be made to abide by the same rules,” he said. “The civilians who eat in Dun can don’t give us trouble about taking out food, but the people in the Corps are the ones who give us problems now,” comment ed Dollar. A plan was proposed by Paul Gugenheim to distribute an in formation sheet at the noon and evening meals next week telling the administration’s reasons for the enforcement, including costs. The Council passed this as a mo tion and Dollar agreed to do it. Dollar also agreed to remove the guards at Sbisa until the in formation sheet could be distrib uted and a more detailed cost analysis could be made. Mean while, the menu board will work on this problem and listen to complaints. The Council also approved a new uniform residence hall judi cial system. It provides for each hall to have a judicial council which will provide violators with a “trial by peers,” said CSC Pres ident Mark Blakemore. Penalties defined in the sys tem are admonition, weekend re strictions, reprimand, restitution and removal from a residence hall. A judicial council ruling can be overturned by appeal to the Dean of Students, noted Blakemore. In addition, the Council ap proved an addition to the system to cover residence halls not owned by the university. All residence halls will he bound by judicial council rulings, regardless of ownership or rental. The growing problem of inade quate fields for intramural activ ities was emphasized by Paul Gugenheim. He explained plans to build an intramural complex across the railroad tracks were jmeeting administration opposi tion. He appealed to the Council for support on this issue. Schumacher Hall President Shariq Yosufzai made a motion for CSC backing of a “feasibility study” to make Schumacher Hall co-educational. He noted the de sign of the hall and its location as its principal selling points. Blakemore announced the ap pointment of Joe Hughes as chair man of the Public Relations Com mittee. Cars Must Be Moved Saturday Campus Police Chief O. L. Luther reminded students that their cars must be moved from parking lots 9, 31, 48 and 49 be fore 10 a.m. Saturday, in prepar ation for the Texas Tech football game. Luther asked students to park in the areas north of Ross Street and towards the front of the cam pus. He also said students could move their cars back after the game and when the traffic sub sided. Parking lots 49 and 31 are ad jacent to Kyle Field. Lot 49 ex tends along the back of the cam pus on the north side of FM 2159. Parking lot 9 is adjacent to the main drill field near Old Main Drive. Chief Luther also noted that students were cooperating in re moving their cars from the rail road track area near the south side of FM 2159. Twin States Procedure For oca ting Harassing Callers ■There are several ways to stop larassing phone calls depending ipon the individual involved, said Bill Irwin, general manager for General Telephone Company in Bryan. jThere is an unusual situation jmcerning annoying phone calls the Krueger-Dunn complex, inee it is a dormitory, said rwin. “I would encourage anyone to terminate the call as quickly as he can. Usually a caller will repeat the call if he is encouraged. If the receiver hangs up, the haras- ser will often quit,” said Irwin. The General Telephone Com pany should be notified if anyone in Bryan-College Station is re ceiving a continuation of harass ing phone calls. The phone com pany can put a monitor on the phone line. “In the past you had to keep a caller on the line in order to trace a call,” said Irwin. “But Plans For ‘Honor Park’ Considered K A proposal was made to re- todel Spence Park into an honor park at a meeting of the Campus Wanning Committee this week. ■ Mike Bunch, former pledge class president of Alpha Phi Omega, made a presentation of plans and drawings of future sights of various memorials now jkated all over the campus. The AMU UF Drive Exceeds $18,000 Contributions to the University Jnited Fund Drive now exceed $18,000, announced Personnel Di- ieetor H. Ray Smith, who heads this year’s campus campaign. I The drive officially ends Sat urday, but Smith said any univer sity employees who have not yet ontributed but wish to do so may till submit their gifts to de- >artmental or office chairmen. TAMU’s eampagn is conducted n support of the College Station United Chest, which has a goal >f $27,620, and the Greater Bryan [Jnited Fund, with a goal of $116,- 117. Banking is a pleasure at First Bank & Trust. —Adv. bell in the rotunda of the Academ- is Building would be one of the many memorials transferred to the Spence Park exhibition. A brick walk would be posi tioned in the park so people could walk around the exhibits of all plaques, bells, statues, etc. which are now memorials or markers on campus. Objections were aroused, and a committee was raised to make modifications on the original pro posal. The committee showed definite interest in doing some thing to make Spence Park a bet ter place, but the mode is un known as of yet. It was further suggested that the area behind the maintenance administration building now serv ing as storage for tractors and other construction apparatus could be transformed to a natural study center. The center would consist of study carrels, an amphitheater, and a place where notices could be posted informing students of up-coming events on campus. Other proposals now under sur- veilance are central malls on cam pus, mass lighting, rejuvenation of the area next to the Oceanog raphy Building, and others. Rob ert Rucker, landscape architect (See Plans For, page 2) with the equipment we have now one just has to hold on to the line.” A customer request for line tracing must be filled out by the individual receiving the calls after notifying the local law enforce ment. In the case of Krueger- Dunn this would be the University Police. This form is used to pro vide court evidence against the caller. “According to state law, every person convicted of obscene, an noying, harassing or intimidating telephone calls shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than one day nor more than one year or by fine of not less than $100 or more than $1,000 or by both such fine and imprisonment,” said Chief of University Police O. L. Luther. In the case of a student there may also be possible disciplinary action on the part of the univer sity, said Luther. “Our intent is only to stop this type of call and we intend to co operate in every way to help stop the problem,” said Irwin. ‘Phoenix*’ To Play Tonight Phoenix, a five-member band from Houston, will be featured entertainment tonight at the “Fall International Party” sponsored by the International Student Asso ciation.
