Bike Marathon Will Raise $$
For Needy B-CS Girls Clubs
Fund raising for Bryan and Col
lege Station Girls Clubs is the
goal of the second annual Bicycle
Marathon Oct. 28, sponsored by
the A&M Wheelmen and Ladies
LULAC Council No. 622.
Ms. Marry Custer, marathon
chairwoman, said local business
men have pledged money for every
mile ridden. Based on an esti
mated goal of 5,000 miles, spon
sors have donated a half-cent
($25), 1 cent per mile ($50), or
IVz cents a mile ($75).
The public is invited to partici
pate, and “the more the better,”
Custer said.
Bryan High School will be the
headquarters for the event. Activ
ities start at 7 a. m. and end at
6 p. m. Tours will leave on five
and 25 mile circuits every hour.
The last 25-mile ride begins at
4 p. m. and the final five-mile
excursion at 6 p. m.
There is no limit to the number
of times a rider may complete
either circuit, nor will the rider
be required to ride continuously,
Custer said. Gift certificates will
go to those who accumulate the
top mileage one one,- five,- and
10-speed bikes donated by Andre’s
Bike Shop, Bryan Discount Cy-
clery, Western Auto, and Central
Supply.
Drinking water will be avail
able, and “sag wagons” will tend
wearied riders and broken down
bikes. Lemonade, soft drinks and
sandwiches will be sold.
In case of bad weather, the
marathon will be attempted Oct.
29, same time, same place, Custer
said.

“War of the Fools,” directed
by Karel Zeman, will be featured
Friday in the Memorial Student
Center Ballroom at 8 p.m.
The Contemporary Arts Com
mittee of the MSC is sponsoring
this film.
This satire on war employs
Zeman’s famous experimental
style of combining live action,
animation, and old engravings.
The film involves two musketeers
and a girl during the Thirty Years
War (1625) who search for a land
without war. In the course of
Vietnam
(Continued from page 1)
ese move could be seen as an ef
fort to put pressure on Nixon to
agree to a peace accord before
the Nov. 7 U.S. election.
It also set Hanoi’s portrayal
of South Vietnam’s President
Nguyen Van Thieu as an obstacle
to peace.
The North Vietnamese official
statement, as broadcast by Hanoi
Radio, accused the Nixon admin
istration of “a lack of good will
and of seriousness.” It contended
that Washington was claiming
difficulties with Saigon only as
an excuse for not going ahead
with an agreed deal.
The North Vietnamese sum
mary of the peace terms says
it and the United States agreed
to include a number of items pre
sumably acceptable to the United
States.
their search they become involved
in “fantastic” adventures.
Zeman satirizes leaders’ moti
vations for waging wars, and
demonstrates that the common
man is usually totally disinter
ested in war. The inspiration for
the engravings to life is which
comes from the battle scenes of
an artist who wandered through
battlefields during the Thirty
Years War.
Tickets are $1 for A&M stu
dents and $1.50 for non-students.
Fighting
These include a cease-fire in
North and South Vietnam, release
of prisoners, withdrawal of U.S.
and other foreign troops and ap
plication of principles of sover
eignty, neutrality and indepen
dence for all the Indochina states.
Whether the North Vietnamese
version of proposed negotiations
between the Saigon administra
tion and the Viet Cong for a na
tional coalition government would
be acceptable to the Allies is
something else. Thieu has been
denouncing the enemy proposals
for a three-segment coalition
regime in South Vietnam.
U.S. diplomatic and White
House officials are intently study
ing North Vietnam’s disclosure
of an alleged Vietnam peace
agreement. There were signs that
the Nixon adminstration may be
ready to break its silence on the
negotiations.
Student senators began distrib
uting Student Purchase Program
discount sheets in A&M dorms
recently, said Mark Cuculic;
Student Government Business
Relations Chairman.
About 5,000 leaflets will be dis
tributed in the dorms. The sena
tor of each living area will pass
out the leaflets along with an ex
planation of how the discounts
work.
Cuculic urged any dorm stu
dent who has not been contacted
to call the Student Government
Office at 845-3051 for a leaflet
and an explanation.
Distribution to off-campus stu
dents will begin this week, said
Cuculic. He noted that distribu
tion to off - campus students
would be more difficult and
would be accomplished by setting
up booths in the University Li
brary, the Memorial Student Cen
ter and the Academic Building.
Any off-campus student who
has not seen any of the booths
by Friday should call the Stu
dent Government Office.
The Student Purchase Pro
gram is the revised and expanded
version of last year’s Student
Support Program. Participating
merchants display the SPP sym
bol in the front of their stores.
“A student need only show his
ID card at participating mer
chants’ stores to claim his dis
count,” said Cuculic. “Discounts
vary from merchant to merchant
and are listed on the SPP leaflet
being distributed.”
He said the program will work
only if students use the stores
participating.
