I The NBC News Correspondent’s report will be presented by the Great Issues committee of the ■emorial Student Center, at 8 Pm. in the Ballroom, announced Chairman T. C. Cone. Admission will be 25 cents per TAMU stu dent and $1 for others. H A 20-year veteran now based in Washington, Levine reported ffom Rome 10 years, Moscow and Tokyo two each and London a year. I! The widely traveled broadcast journalist has covered news events on every continent of the world. His commentaries and re ports are regular features of "NBC Nightly News,” “Today” and other NBC News programs, p Levine is NBC’s economic af fairs correspondent in the na tion’s capital. I The author of four books has several journalism awards, in cluding an Overseas Press Club honor for the “most outstanding radio and TV reporting from abroad,” a Headliners Award and Emmy citation. Levine’s book, “Main Street, U.S.S.R.,” was on national non fiction best-seller lists and is used as a university textbook. “Travel Guide to Russia” was described by Life magazine as the one es sential book for any traveler to the Soviet Union to read. Published abroad in several lan guages, his books include the re cent “The Russian Worker,” pub lished by McMillan last May. Le vine has also contributed articles to national magazines and is a frequent lecturer. The Great Issues speaker be gan his journalism career with the Providence (ILL) Journal- Bulletin. Levine’s first foreign correspondent assignment was in Vienna, Austria, as bureau chief for International News Service. Other schools recognize us in this respect.” “We don’t use meg-a-phones or pom-poms,” Paine continued. “ ‘Male’ should be a requirement. If this qualification changes we will sooner or later have cheer leaders.” “We might as well change the name of Texas A&M to the Uni versity of Texas at College Sta tion,” Paine concluded. “The corps objects to letting all of the student body vote for yell leaders,” said Chris St. John, (Jr.- Corps). “It won’t be very effec tive if every one votes, freshmen could not possibly know the jun iors or seniors running for yell leader.” A majority of the students is not needed to decide on yell lead ers, added Grif Lasley, junior yell leader. The majority of students are here only four years and the yell leader committee has been here longer than that. In other action the Student Senate also voted to accept the Day Care Center constitution and by-laws after several minor changes in the wording. The Student Senate will be le gally responsible for the center, said Virginia Leahey, chairman of the day care center commit- (See Senate Mulls, page 2) mt mm SOLID AND SERENE are just two of the many words which could be used to identify this unusual view of the main campus of A&M.

Most stores agree their biggest business with the students is in parts, because as one shop man ager put it, “you buy a bicycle ind to keep it in good shape you must keep the parts in working iondition.” I Bicycles may be serviced right |n most shops, taking anywhere pom five minutes to two weeks. The average time a bike spends the shop is one day, depending bn the amount of business in the shop and if parts are readily avail- Skble. Servicing costs vary depending on work done, time spent and post of the part. Minimum shop labor per hour varies with prices ranging anywhere from $2.50 to |$7.50. The shops attribute 25 to 50 |per cent of their business to ac- Itual bicycle sales, the best seller being the 10-speed. Prices range from $69 to $650 for 10-speed, depending on the bicycle and the equipment includ ed. The average amount spent on bikes is approximately $110. “When you spend that little you’re not getting as good a quality bicycle. The frame is not as good as it is usually heavier and welded,” said Dean O’Brian, afternoon manager of Andre’s Bicycle Shop. Department stores offer the majority of American manufac tured bikes, while bicycle shops usually offer more European models. Jim Kyle, service manager for Central Supply, said all of their bikes were European with one Japanese line. Their best-selling 10-speed is made in France. O’Brian said the reason they had a large quantity of foreign- made bikes was due to high labor costs in the United States. He also said the majority of students did not want to pay a lot for a bicycle, therefore they offer cheaper foreign models. Shop owners agreed sales picks up at the opening of each semes ter at A&M and at Christmas, but there was a strong steady business during the year. Most bicycles are sold on a cash basis, but some stores offer credit and layaway plans. Andre’s also offers Instant Credit (SIC) as a possible route for payment. The drawbacks to the SIC plan are the student must either be married or over 21. If he has any type of credit rating, the under 21, single student can usually get credit through the SIC of fices. By VICKIE ASHWILL The route number two shuttle buses will make additional stops at A&M Consolidated High School Nov. 2 to make election polls more accessible to the students. The Shuttle Bus Committee agreed early Thursday to have the buses stop at the polls on the national election dry at the sug gestion of Barb. Sears hairman of the External Affairs Commit tee for the A&M Student Gov ernment. Without the use of the buses, the only other way to help stu dents get to the polls would be to provide cars, said Sears. The three alternatives Sears suggested for using the buses on election day were: one, use one bus for the sole purpose of going to the polls, two, to have buses on route two stop on their way from A&M and have the Senate provide rides back to campus or thi'ee, to have buses on route two make stops at the polls to and from the campus. The committee decided upon the third suggestion for the con venience of the students and to prevent over-crowding on the buses: “We will stick to the policy of no advertising on the buses to keep away from using the buses for campaigning,” said Kent Ca- perton, chairman of the Shuttle Bus Committee. An average of 2,200 people ride the shuttle buses per day, said Ed Davis in bringing his status report on finance to the commit tee. This figure was based on the number of people getting on the buses off-campus for two days. “If this number of people pay $20 per year to ride the bus it averages out to 6<) per ride,” said Davis. “This would figure to only $44,000 per year.” “Some members of this com mittee thought we should allocate funds from the parking fee, but there are two main reasons we can not do this,” continued Davis. “For one, the money is not available as it is already being spent on future projects and basic management policy does not al low money to be taken from one place to another,” said Davis. “As it stands right now, I need some input from the committee on what to do,” he said. “The only stable income we have is if all the students on cam pus pay for the bus system,” said Charles Powell, dean of men. “If the students won’t do this, (help support the bus system), then we’re going to have a very difficult financial problem in the future,” Powell said. “It is to everyone’s advantage to keep cars off campus,” con cluded Powell. A referendum on whether or not the students would want to help finance the shuttle buses was suggested by Caperton. “We should go to the Student Government Executive Commit tee, explain the situation and so lutions, then present it to the Student Senate,” continued Ca perton. “Then perhaps we can have a student referendum.” McGovern Comes Out ‘Behind’ In Debate By KARL JACKSON Staff Writer “If I am elected in November, I don’t feel that I will have to flex my muscle to the Russians; I think they would regard me as a friend,” reportedly said Presi dential candidate Senator George McGovern. McGovern and President Nixon were both frequently quoted and mis-quoted in a unique debate by the Lincoln Union Debating So ciety, Thursday night. The debate, “Which is the Bigger Ass?”, was held in the Architecture Building auditorium and played before a packed house. The Lincoln Union Society is sponsored by the English Depart ment. In the debate, the members of the two sides supporting either Nixon or McGovern, tried to prove their candidate was the bigger ass. In the U.N. incident where Nikita Khrushchev pounded his shoe on the table, only President Nixon is credited with pushing aside the importance of Khru shchev’s actions by asking, “What did it do to the top of the desk?” The Nixon camp was strongly supported by Keith Brown, Gary Reger and Mike Wagner, but the team of McGovernites consisting Knight and Mike Perrin, swept the debate.

Hensel Schol arship Fund while the remainder of the profit is used for new books for the Floriculture library, club field trips, and other programs. Oi’ders may be placed for cor sages for every home game in the Floriculture Greenhouses, cor ner of Lamar and Nagle Streets, beginning at Noon on Wednesday before the game and all day Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings. STUDENT FLORAL CONCESSION members put the finishing touches on over 300 mums Thursday night with assorted flowers and pipe cleaners. Profits made from the sales will go to the F. W. Hensel Scholarship fund and other concession projects. The manuscript collection of the late nuclear physicist Dr. Paul C. Aebersold was formally accepted Thursday at A&M from his widow. The Paul C. Aebersold Papers include important research ma terials in the speeches and writ ings, letters and newspaper clip pings assembled by the former U. S. Atomic Energy Commission official, an authority on and pro ponent of the peaceful use of atomic energy. Mrs. Aebersold will present the collection to the director of TAMU libraries, John B. Smith, for the university archives at 1:30 p.m. ceremonies in the li brary conference suite. Dr. Richard E. Wainerdi, as sistant vice president for academ ic affairs and long-time friend of the Aebersolds, will preside. Dr. Humberto Fernandez-Mor an will be the principal speaker. Biophysics professor at the Uni versity of Chicago, he and Dr. Aebersold were close friends. Gen. A. R. Luedecke, TAMU ex ecutive vice president, will also speak. Known around the world as “Mr. Isotope,” Aebersold worked with the A E C at Oak Ridge, Tenn., and Washington from 1946 to 1965. He died in 19G7. The 1932 cum laude graduate of Stanford went to the University of California at Berkeley for the 1932 Olympic trials, visited Er nest O. Lawrence for whom the radiation lab was named and stayed as a graduate student, teacher and research scientist. During 10 years at Berkeley, Dr. Aebersold studied for advance degrees and participated in de velopments of the 27, 60 and 184- inch cyclotrons. He was in charge of the 60-inch cyclotron two years. Later work at Berkeley and Oak Ridge was primarily in ad ministration and coordination of research activities. Interest in isotope production and distribu tion involved the scientist in problems of production, radiation safety, regulation and training of users. Dr. Aebersold urged broader uses of isotopes in medicine, re search and throughout industry. He wmote more than 100 articles and gave over 700 talks. Smith noted the collection is appropriately located at TAMU, with the university’s teaching and research programs in nuclear science, engineering and applica tions. Among Dr. Aebersold’s speech es is one titled “The Industrial Use of Radioisotopes,” given at the first Texas Conference on the Utilization of Atomic Energy at A&M in April, 1958. An inventory of the 3,000-item Aebersold papers has been pre pared by the University Archiv ist, Dr. Charles R. Schultz. Avail able through the library and to be presented to persons attending the Thursday ceremony, the 61- page inventory describes the col lection in detail and lists speeches and articles by Dr. Aebersold as well as numerous articles and speeches of other scientists col lected by the scientist.
