NEW YORK — A society of
computer specialists, worried that
the electronic brain is getting a
bad name, is trying to smooth the
often strained relationship be
tween computer and consumer.
Attempting to upgrade the
computer’s image, the New York
based group called the Associa
tion for Computing Machinery
has set up an ombudsman pro
gram in several cities to help in
vestigate computer related com
plaints.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. —
This year’s world champion all-
around rodeo cowboy, Phil Lyne
of George West, Tex., is riding
closer with each go round of the
National Finals Rodeo toward
breaking the all-time one year
money winning record of the Ro
deo Cowboys Association.
Lyne, who entered this year’s
finals with the all-around cham
pionship already in his pocket,
won a total of $1,692 in the first
three nights of competition in
the finals, which began here Sat
urday.

WASHINGTON — Congres
sional auditors say six federal
agencies made inadequate envir

Before They Get ($$) You
A very obvious and commonplace event is about to take place
again for some on-camnus students.
That bill-happy batch of money-mongers is going to get students
and the worst part of it is that most won’t realize it until bills are
received next fall.
Civilian Student Council leaders have put before the dorm councils
a new constitution which is basically the same as the present one but
would change the council to a Residence Hall Association and slap
students with another five-dollar mandatory fee.
Our line of thinking is that CSC ‘leaders’ have overlooked the fact
that most students don’t want another mandatory fee to pay.
A second point of protest could be that all residence halls will
become programmed whether students want them that way or not.
There hasn’t been too big a rush to get into programmed dorms, so it
could be assumed that many students don’t care much one way or the
other what type of activities their dorms have.
There are basically two types of dorm students at A&M: (1) those
who like to participate in any and all dorm functions and (2) those who
go their own way with studies and other more important activities.
The proposed fee would make those in the second category pay for
the social life of those in the first.
But, dorm students, you do have a voice in the matter — only if
you’re interested in the matter, though.
Ratification of this constitution is not done by students-at-large,
but instead by dorm councils. Since the members of dorm councils are
probably among those highly active in dorm activities, it’s almost
reasonable to assume these will vote for the five-dollar fee.
The CSC ‘leaders’ did do students a ‘favor’, however, when they
put an option clause in the proposed constitution which would allow
dorm councils to return $4.50 to students. This again is decided by
dorm councils. How will they vote?
If you are a member of either group, participator or
non-participant, be an activist and tell your council rep how to vote. If
the constitution is ratified “as is,” j/our coins may roll.

WASHINGTON — Seeking to
head off a flood of protests, the
Treasury Department Monday
urged state and local govern

week are smaller than they ex
pected.
The first checks to be mailed
Friday represent estimates of
what some 39,000 state and local
government units should receive
under a complex formula ap
proved by Congress. The Treas
ury- said it may be early next
year before it gets all the data
updated.
