CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle Dubose Takes Up Bike Issue
‘I’m not sure we’re re
or this!”
Editor:
Evidently, the administration
and our student representatives
still do not realize why the vast
majority of bicycle owners have
refused to register their bikes.
It is not an issue of $1.50 or
$3.00 to register or even the
question of how the funds are to
be used. A large part of the two
or three thousand unregistered
bike owners do not believe it is
the right of the administration to
compell registration. Bicycles are
regarded as the same kind of per
sonal property as clothing and
books.
It could also be contended that:
A. Bicycle racks are not really
needed, just a few square feet of
concrete or asphalt.
B. The three or four thousand
bikes on campus represent many
cars which are not.
C. Bike paths would be nice,
but are not needed either if cour
tesy prevails on the sidewalks
and streets.
D. Bicycle registration is not
needed to enforce rules about
flagrant violations.
E. Registration is of only mar
ginal value in retrieving missing
bikes since only a foolish thief
would keep one where he stole it.
In short, I urge the administra
tion to drop the bike business,
allow voluntary registration for
the cost of the plates, install new
racks at only the rate of the past
and let the campus police deal
with the handful who make a
hazard of themselves on crowded
Batt News Summary
AUSTIN—House Speaker Ray
ford Price endorsed President
Nixon and Sen. John Tower, R-
Tex., Wednesday for re-election,
becoming the first top-level state
official to do so.
The speaker said at a news
conference that he opposed the
Democratic presidential nominee,
George McGovern, mainly be
cause of McGovern’s views on na
tional defense and American
treaty obligations.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—Pres
ident Nixon is to make a brief
campaign stop in Albuquerque
Saturday.
New Mexico’s Republican U. S.
Senate candidate, Pete Domenici,
said the President’s arrival is
planned “for about noon Satur
day in Albuquerque.”
Details of the time and place
for the President’s appearance
still were indefinite, Domenici
said.
HUNTSVILLE — Registered
voters here Tuesday legalized the
sale of mixed alcoholic beverages
by 1,214 to 930 vote. The total
vote was 2,144 out of a possible
4,800 registered voters.
Under provisions of the law, it
is possible for mixed drinks to be
served within 30 days of the elec
tion.
He is making Friday visits to
Rhode Island and Oklahoma, and
aides said both would be airpoi-t
stops, at Providence and Tulsa.
CAPE KENNEDY, Fla.—Anik-
1, a 600-pound satellite named for
the Eskimo word “brother,” will
be launched from sun-splashed
Florida Thursday to bring radio,
telephone and television service to
the people in Canada’s icebound
northlands.
Officials at America’s moon-
port say Anik-1, the fjrst satel
lite built for commercial com
munications within a single coun
try, should start operating Jan. 1.
It will provide vastly expanded
contact with the outside world
for hundreds of small communi
ties now dependent on short
wave radios.
Senate To IHscuss Registration
AUSTIN—Although the State
Bar of Texas called for disbar
ment of a Dallas lawyer, the
State Supreme Court upheld
Wednesday his one-year suspen
sion for allegedly embezzling a
client’s money.
State District Court Judge
Louis Holland ordered the sus
pension of Jack T. Pevehouse and
the Eastland Court of Civil Ap
peals found he had not abused
his discretion.
(Continued from page 1)
and the deletion of the word
“male” from the list of qualifi
cations.
Both Kruse and Student Gov
ernment Vice-President Randy
Ross said they would push for a
student referendum concerning
the changes.
“The committee has met four
times to deliberate over proposed
revisions,” said Campbell in an
earlier statement. “We feel this
is a progressive step, making the
process of the election more dem
ocratic.
“None of the revisions we pro
pose actually encourage the elec
tion of female yell leaders. We’re
not out to destroy any Aggie tra
ditions.”
A poll will be conducted among
the senators for the purpose of
deciding on the important issues
the Senate thinks should be dis
cussed at the Texas Student
Lobby meeting Nov. 5, according
to Barb Sears, chairman of the
External Affairs Committee.
A Day Care Center Board con
sisting of the community leaders,
three faculty members and three
students will also be presented to

Editor:
The impact of student voters
in College Station is just being
felt. Precinct nine, encompassing
the campus, has over 5,000 regis
tered voters. It will be split into
three new precincts next year.
Over 2,000 voters (nearly 40% of
precinct nine) live on campus.
Students can distribute politi
cal literature in University Hous
ing but candidates cannot meet
the campus voters under the Uni
versity’s current interpretation of
the law. The University will sure
ly alter its policies about candi
dates asking for votes in the Dor
mitories and Married Student
Housing in time for the next elec
tion, however, that will not be in
time for this year’s county com
missioner race.
Let me take this opportunity to
endorse Howard Anderson ’43 for
County Commissioner from pre
cincts 1, 2, 8, 9, and 10 I have
known him as a teacher at A&M
Consolidated and as a respon
sible businessman. I have cam
paigned hard for him. How
ard Anderson has personally
talked to nearly 80% of the vot
ers living off campus and would
meet students on campus but can
not under current University
rules. His backers will contact as
many students as possible.
Among his platform pledges
are improvement of the county
road system. He also supports
Amendment 12, letting public em
ployees serve on city councils,
school boards, and all public
agencies.
Vote for Howard Anderson ’43
for County Commissioner. Vote
for two party government on No
vember 7.
Sincerely,
David E. R. Gay

list unless the student furnishes
proof of reinstatement prior to
that time.

under any of the procedures indi
cated previously, but do not pre
register for classes during the
pre-registration iperiod will have
their rooms cancelled unless their
pre-registration for spring is
