By LARRY MARSHALL

A&M Delegates Meet With Lobby Members;
Give Support To Student-Interest Issues
By VICKIE ASHWILL
A&M delegates to the Texas
Student Lobby met with other
TSL members recently to decide
what issues the lobby should
actively support.
The five main issues the lobby
decided to support include mari
juana reform, student government
control of student service fees,
student on the board of directors,
18-year-old majority rights and
abortion.
"The philosophy of the TAMU
delegates is that a student lobby
should concern itself with student
issues,” said Barb Sears, delegate
and chairman of External Affairs.
“Therefore,” she continued, “we
don’t feel abortion is something a
student lobby should be concerned
with. Also, we (A&M delegates)
think the lobby should be more
specific on what it’s going to do
about marijuana reform.”
TSL also endorsed tuition equal
ization for private schools, elimi
nation of compulsory dormitory
residency, insurance reform, the
lettuce boycott and boycott of
Farrah slacks.
The lettuce boycott and boycott
of Farrah slacks were voted
against by the Aggie representa
tives as these issues were against
their philosophy.
A priority poll taken at the
Nov. 2 Student Senate meeting
showed senators in favor of all
above student associated issues
with the exception of tuition
equalization for private schools.
“Texas Intercollegiate Student
Association members are the
members of TSL,” said Sears.
“Each school has a number of
votes in proportion to the number
of students.
“Out of the 21 official TISA
members, only 19 were in at
tendance a the TSL meeting.”
A&M delegates include Sears,
Student Government President
Layne Kruse, Student Government
Vice-President Randy Ross and
Tom Locke (Keathley-Hughes).

Television sets will feature
educational programs updating
all parts of skills and knowledges,
said Williams.
“Universities will join to solve
problems of mankind,” he said.
“They will be ‘service stations’
where researchers and experts
will be concentrated on a certain
area of research or education.”
Williams predicts that the first
center of this kind will be in
Dallas.
“In 30 years A&M will carry
the success story in engineering,
agriculture and hopefully the so
cial sciences,” said Dr. Williams.
“We need to find a solution to
the hatred and egotism of the
world. If we can enhance the pro
fessionals to be of service to the
world, we could start professional
training after the sophomore year
in college if students meet the
requirements for that field.”
