The Texas A&M University
Board of Directors Wednesday
told President Jack K. Williams
that it would stick to its current
policy of housing women in new
dormitories only.
Williams said Monday that the
board members feel that the
dorms currently housing males
on the civilian side of the campus
were designed only for men and
that they wanted to continue
housing women in only the “finest
possible housing available.”
“It really wasn’t fair for us to
ask the board to change its mind,”
said Williams. “But they can see
both sides to the situation—stu
dents wanting to have girls on
the other side of the campus and
the fact that they couldn’t con
trol building design.”
The board also gave its ap
proval to the proposed distribu
tion of Exchange Store profits
drawn up by the Exchange Store
Advisory Committee for student
organizations.
A total of $40,000 was allocated
by the board, with $28,291 going
to non-departmental clubs and
$4,788 being awarded to depart
mental and professional clubs.
The remainder is being held as
a reserve for clubs participating
in national meets.

Silver Taps Slated Tonight
For Three A&M Students
73 Aggieland Page Reservations
For Organizations Being Taken Now
Space in the ’73 Aggieland may
now be reserved by university-
recognized organizations, an
nounced Joe Arredondo, Aggie
land editor.
Representatives of campus
groups may come from now
through 5 p.m. Dec. 19 to the
Student Publications Office in
Room 216 in the Student Services
Building to sign up for pages in
the yearbook.
The price of space will be $55
per full page and $30 per half
page.
Arredondo said that organiza
tions are encouraged to purchase
a full page to allow for activity
shot coverage. Creativity in the
shooting of the organizations will
be of major importance this year,
he noted.
“Instead of having the groups
line up in front of the MSC as
they have done in the past,” Ar
redondo said, “I would like to see
variety and ingenuity used in
taking the group shots.”
Silver Taps will be held tonight at 10:30 for three A&M students,
two of whom were killed in a car accident Nov. 17.
Ronald W. McDonald and his wife died Monday morning of injuries
received in an auto accident Sunday evening on the Hempstead
Highway in Houston.
McDonald, a 21-year-old senior, died in a Houston hospital. His
19-year-old wife, Rebecca, died at the same hospital about 2 a.m.
The couple’s one-year-old son was injured in the two-car accident.
The family was apparently returning to College Station after having
spent the Thanksgiving holidays in Houston where McDonald had
resided before entering A&M.
Funeral arrangements are pending at South Park Funeral Home in
Houston.
The other two students, Billie Joe Pratt Jr. and Robert Riggs
Young of Burnet, were killed in the Nov. 17 accident when a car
driven by John A. Arnold of Ferris struck a bridge.
Arnold was treated for a broken leg, internal injuries and facial cuts
at Brenham’s St. Jude’s Hospital before being transferred to Dallas’
Presbyterian Hospital.
Pratt and Young were graduates of Burnet High School, where joint
funeral services were held for the long-time friends. They were
freshmen at A&M.
Shoplifting—A Big Problem Here, Too
By VICKIE ASHWILL
Staff Writer
Shoplifters are as big a prob
lem in the Bryan-College Station
area as anywhere else, according
to area merchants and police de
partments.
Although there are very few
shoplifting cases on campus, (only
three reported this semester),
Bryan police report an average
of 10 cases per week.
“Shoplifting is a tremendous
problem,” said Sgt. J. D. Gossett
of A&M’s University Police, “but
not with us. Mainly because we
have only two stores on campus
— The Exchange Store and the
Memorial Student Center Gift
Shop.”
Sgt. Jim Beamer, College Sta
tion police, said approximately
50 per cent of small thefts are
by students. Also, thefts run in
cycles and are on the increase all
the time, he said.
Stolen items range from cos
metics to small appliances to
clothing articles, reported area
merchants. Die Sustek, Piggly
Wiggly store manager, has even
caught persons attempting to
take meat.
“We usually average four
thefts a day in the four-to-five-
dollar range,” said Boid Hall,
store manager for Skaggs Albert
son’s. “For the most part we take
them directly to the police. Many
of them plead ‘guilty’ and the
court fines them. When they
plead ‘not guilty’ we have to go
to court.”
“Usually a store will file for
theft under five dollars,” said
Beamer. “This is not as bad on
a person’s record.”
This filing is usually made in
the city court unless the theft
is over five dollars. Minimum
bond in College Station is $25
while in Bryan it is $40 with the
maximum in both cities at $200.
Municipal courts have no author
ity to set a jail fine.
“Punishment for on-campus
thefts depends on the circum
stances,” said Gossett. “On-cam
pus thefts are usually spur-of-
the-moment ideas and under five
dollars. The University has no
authority over off-campus cases
as far as the law is concerned.”
One case at the Exchange Store
occurred when one Aggie swapped
Fish English Board Formed
a pair of jeans for a new pair.
Fortunately, his laundry mark
was inside his old jeans and he
was traced.
“The Exchange Store does have
a plain clothes security man,”
said Chuck Cargill, store man
ager. “This man ‘gate guards’ in
that he helps keep sacks and brief
cases out of the store which would
be easy to hide items in.”
Other area stores have security
guards, spotting windows and
adequate sales forces to watch
for petty thefts.
“We encourage stores to prose
cute shoplifters when they catch
them,” said Bryan Police Force
Capt. Charles Phelps. “Otherwise
the word gets around and makes
it easier to shoplift in that store.”
“Everytime I read about shop
lifting, it makes me thankful for
Aggies, ’cause we’ve got a good
bunch of people,” said Cargill.
Classic swinging jazz and inter
national champion barbershop
quartet harmony will provide an
exuberant night next Tuesday in
the Town Hall-Rotary Community
Series.
Sunny sounds of Jim Cullum’s
Happy Jazz Band and the Mark
IV Quartet will emanate from
Bryan Civic Auditorium.
The show starts at 8 p.m. Ad
mission is by Rotary season tick
et or TAMU student-date ticket,
$2 each at the Student Program
Office in the Memorial Student
Center, according to Town Hall
Chairman Phillip Goodwin.
“If this doesn’t get you in your
on-off switch,” a critic said of
Jim Cullum’s jazz, “you may not
have one.”
Both Texas-based groups orig
inate from San Antonio, where the
Cullums—Jim Sr. and Jr.—play
at the nationally famous River-
walk nightclub, The Landing.
The seven-piece jazz band turns
on in the warm, swinging, classic
tradition of Louis Armstrong,
Jelly Roll Morton and Bix Bei
derbecke. It is led by clarinetist
Jim Cullum Sr., whose smooth,
mellow tone was perfected with
popular bands of the 1930s and
40s. Jim Sr. played with the great
band of the legendary Texas
trombonist, Jack Teagarden.
A past performer at Texas
A&M, the Cullums’ Jazz Band
hosted the World Series of Jazz
in the Alamo City four years and
is nationwide and across Mexico.
Sharing the Rotary Series bill
ing is the Mark IV Quartet with
sounds such as “Close To You,”
“Softly As I Leave You” and “I’d
Give a Million Tomorrows,” as
well as classics like “Our Love Is
Here To Stay,” “That Old Gang
of Mine” and “That Lucky Old
Sun.”
The international champion
quartet is composed of Dale Dei-
ser, A1 Koberstein, C. O. Craw
ford and Franklin Spears.
Organized in the summer of
1966, Mark IV required only four
months to claim the Southwestern
District Champions title. Few
quartets reach the top ten in their
first international competition,
but at Los Angeles in 1967, the
Mark IV won third place.
Dr. A. P. Beutel of Lake Jack-
son, vice president of the Texas
A&M University System Board
of Directors, died Monday morn
ing in a Brazosport hospital fol
lowing a brief illness.
The 80-year-old retired Dow
Chemical Company official had
served on the Texas A&M board
since 1963. He was serving his
second two-year term as vice
president.
Dr. Beutel retired from Dow
in 1971 after 55 years of service,
most recently as a director and
vice president. He was one of the
founders of Dow’s Texas and Lou
isiana Divisions and organizer
and president of Dowell.
Beutel
His alma mater, Case Institute
of Technology, awarded him an
honorary doctorate in engineer
ing in 1942.
Funeral services will be held
at 2 p.m. Wednesday in St. Paul’s
Episcopal Church at Freeport.
The Lakewood Funeral Home in
Lake Jackson has charge of ar
rangements.
In lieu of flowers, the family
requested gifts be made to Texas
A&M, or the Community Hospital
or St. Paul’s Episcopal Church,
both in Freeport.
A&M President Jack K. Wil
liams and other top university
officials will attend the rites in
Freeport Wednesday.
“We will sorely miss Dr.
Beutel’s advice and leadership on
our board of directors,” Dr. Wil
liams said. “During his years of
service to this university system,
he dedicated himself to the im
provement of our physical facil
ities and to the steady enhance
ment of academic excellence in
all our programs.”
Chairman Clyde Wells also paid
tribute to Dr. Beutel’s services as
a board member.
“We are deeply saddened by
the passing of Dr. Beutel,” he
said. “He has been an inspiration
to all of us on the board and
has been instrumental in helping
guide Texas A&M and the entire
system during a period of major
development.”

The Texas Association of Di
rectors of Freshman English has
been formed at A&M to help co
ordinate placement, exemption
and credit activities affecting the
basic language courses required
by all colleges and universities.
Creation of the group, expected
to grow into a national organiza
tion within a year, is an out
growth of the recent pilot con
ference sponsored by TAMU’s
English Department and Coun
seling and Testing Center.
Dr. Forrest D. Burt, chairman
of TAMU’s freshman English
program, was named the new
association’s program chairman.
He also served as director for the
conference which attracted repre
sentatives from more than 30
Texas colleges and universities.
The new group will hold its
first formal meeting March 16-
17 in conjunction with a meeting
in Dallas of the Conference of
College Teachers of English of
Texas. Dr. Burt said that in ad
dition to creating the new asso
ciation, the TAMU conference

“There was general agreement
that the English teacher should
be the central person in the over

noted.
The conference was viewed by
numerous higher education offi

seen as a possible forerunner for
meetings dealing with other basic
academic subjects, such as mathe

In addition to the placement

“My election shows there is

necessary to be an A&M graduate
to become involved in the univer

Bernath met with President

Emory Bellard Monday morning
to start 1973 plans.
“I have complete faith in Dr.
Williams’ academic plans and
Coach Bollard’s athletic pro
grams,” Bernath said.
“I plan to dedicate the next
year to working for The Aggie

the university,” he added.
Bernath pointed out the club’s
goal is to provide a scholarship
to every student-athlete partici
pating in one or more of the sev

TAMU fields a team.
He emphasized contributions
