CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Eark
Free Movie Is Slated Sunday
Tonio Kroeger, the second Con
temporary Arts Committee Film
Series, will be shown Sunday at
8 p.m. in the Memorial Student
Center Ballroom.
The German film was made in
1964 and is based on one of the
best known stories by Thomas
Mann, dealing with the problems
of the artist as a creative out
sider, and his relationship to life
and the average people.
Kroeger is torn between the
heritage from his North German
father and his Itailan mother.
After an unhappy youth, he goes
to the south and becomes a writ
er without being able to solve his
problems and fearing that his art
might ibecome sterile.
The film stars Jean-Claude
Brialy, Nadia Tiller, Werner Hinz
and Rudolf Forster.
Admission is free. For more
information, call Scott Smith at
822-0300.
Senate Fails To Act On Yell Leader Changes
(Continued from page 1)
caused some stir among th$ sena
tors.
All three plans were made to
cover registration costs on 2,500
estimated amount of bikes. Plan
A is to cover the current debt of
$33,000.00 for the purchase and
future installation of 1,500 bike
racks throughout the campus.
This would be the use of the cur
rent $3 fee which annually gen
erate $6,500.00 in revenue in five
years.
Plan B and Plan C offer the
option to sell racks already pur
chased to another school at a
slight loss to the university.
Plan B’s proposed fee is $2
which will provide 909 new rack
spaces while plan C’s proposed
fee is $1.50 which only provides
625 new spaces.
All of the above figures were
based on $22 cost per bike space
and an average 2,500 bikes on
campus.
“It may be that I am naive,
but I cannot see $484 per bicycle
rack in labor and construction
costs," said Rochelle Lindsey (at-
large, univ. aparts.).

Phone Company Policies Hit
Editor:
I am 23-years old, single, and
living off-campus. During my six
years as a student at Texas A&M
University in College Station,
Texas, I have had telephone serv
ice registered in my name, while
living in a dormitory. I have never
failed to pay a telephone bill
whether in my name or my part
of another person’s bill.
Now, I have been told by a
service representative that I can
not use dormitory telephone serv
ice to establish credit with Gen
eral Telephone Company of the
Southwest. Without credit I can
not get local service; but without
local service I cannot establish
credit. The service representative
said that General Telephone Com
pany of the Southwest does not
accept credit references from any
company other than General Tel
ephone.
I was told that I cannot obtain
telephone service unless I, as well
as each of my two roommates,
pay a $50.00 deposit, for a total
of $150.00. I have discovered that
married students and residents
other than students are not re
quired to pay a deposit for each
person using the telephone.
The alternative was a contract
agreement, signed by anyone who
would agree to accept responsi
bility for unpaid telephone bills.
Why would the co-signing party
be given credit when I am not?
My questions have not been
answered. I have been told repeat
edly, with no explanation, that
“this is our policy.” I cannot jus
tify the discrepancies in policies
which discriminate against un
married student population in this
community. The company provides
a necessary service, yet policies
leave me at the mercy of “the
only phone company in town.”
To establish credit with General
Telephone Company of the South
west, it should be sufficient to
supply adequate credit references,
pay a reasonable deposit, or pro
vide proof of willingness and
ability to pay any charges in
curred. The students in this com
munity should be allowed to es
tablish credit without paying ex
orbitant deposits or charging lia
bility upon another party.
I feel I am writing on behalf
of the majority of students at my
University in asking for a change
in policies.

Editor:
As election day approaches,
most of us have determined the
party with which we intend to
align our support with our votes
on November 7. It is our sincere
hope that each student when he
goes to the polls will cast his
vote for the candidate on a basis
of merit and not because he is
merely a “Republican” or a “Dem
ocrat.”
One man who deserves this se
rious consideration is once again
up for re-election. He has served
our district in Congress for the
past 26 years and has been a
dear friend to Texas A&M even
longer.
As fourth-ranking Democrat in
Congress, and as Chairman of the
Veterans’ Affairs Committee,
Congressman Olin E. Teague has
established an impressive record
of legislative service to his coun
try and Texas.
Honored by the Association of
Former Students in 1966 with its
Distinguished Alumni Award, he
has supported Texas A&M with
his time and efforts to an extent
that few of us can realize. The
importance of Mr. Teague’s re-
election cannot be over-empha
sized, because his record demon
strates that he truly represents
all of his constituents.
We urge everyone to go to
the polls on November 7 and
support ‘Tiger’ Teague with your
vote. He deserves no less.

“Another traffic panel commit
tee suggestion was to create
areas to be blacktopped off only
for bikes instead of racks,” said

down on costs extremely.”

of the plans at its next meeting.
This suggestion will then be giv
en to the administration.
