THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Thursday, February 8, 1973
CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Earle
Senate Facing Full Agenda
(Continued from page 1)
five or six more dorms will ap
prove the resolution by tonight,
said Campbell.
Paul Turner (grad-L.A.) will
ask the Senate to endorse a copy
of the bill permitting graduate
students to choose their own re
tirement plan, rather than having
to mandatorily join the Teacher
Retirement System of Texas
(TRS).
The bill was introduced to the
Texas Legislature last week and
is being supported by the Gradu
ate Student Council.
TRS, joined by students work
ing for the university as lab tech
nicians, research assistants or
teachers, takes out six per cent of
their salary and gives it back
with only two and one half per
cent interest, if withdrawn before
retirement eligibility, according
to Dick Zepeda, Graduate Student
Council president.
Debi Blackmon will present a
resolution to establish a commit
tee to look into the idea of pub
lishing a student magazine for
the 1973-74 school year.
“The publication would be spon
sored by Richard Costa, associate
English professor, and would be
divided into three main sections,”
said Blackmon. “These three areas
would be literary, student affairs
and student advising.”
The second half of the academic
portion of the University Rules
and Regulations handbook will be
put before Senate vote tonight
while the proposed changes in the
first half of the student life sec
tion will be presented for discus
sion.
Kissinger Gone To Thailand
WASHINGTON <A>)_Henry A.
Kissinger left for Thailand Wed
nesday on a multi-purpose Viet
nam postwar mission which will
climax with visits to Hanoi and
Peking.
Shortly after Kissinger head
ed for Bangkok, White House
press secretary Ronald L. Zieg
ler reaffirmed that the presiden
tial adviser will stop over in
Vientiane Friday to discuss pros
pects for a cease-fire in Laos.
Prime Minister Souvanna
Phouma, with whom Kissinger is
to dine Friday night, is optimis
tic about reaching a cease-fire
agreement with the Communist
Pathet Lao in about a week.
The possibility of having an on-
campus pre-law advisor to be
available to pre-law students as
presented by William Wade (S.
Campus dorms) at the Feb. 1
meeting will be voted on tonight.
Wade said the university needs
an official advisor to be in a
central location to advise these
students on courses and law
schools.
Senators will also decide on
whether or not to hold a referen
dum to make the Student Senate
recorder and corresponding secre
tary appointed or elected posi
tions, said Ross.
“These positions are at-large
now,” said Ross, “but they are
not policy-making decision posi
tions and we are trying to put
them on an appointed basis.”
“Miles For Mankind” is a Stu
dent ‘Y’ Association and commun
ity project to be put before the
Senate for approval. The ‘Y' will
present a film to the Senate con
cerning the project and then ask
the Senate to endorse and possibly
sponsor the project.

Two hundred and seventy high

230 schools responded, thirty

quirements, scholarships, academ
ic programs and people to contact
at A&M.
Delony plans to coordinate fu
ture programs with the Former
Students Association and Regis
trars office. He has also started
a recruiting file for records on
future drives.
“This is the seventh annual re
cruiting project and more than
we have ever done before,” said
Jim Delony, Corps Information
Officer, about this year’s drive.
The Corps information officer is
in charge of Corps public relations
and correspondence as well as the
recruiting project. Delony and his
personnel Sargent, Tom Leopold,
directed the drive.
The cadets were not recruiting
exclusively for the Corps. They
also informed students about ci
vilian and coed life.

The students were generally im

showed special interest in the
