Fee Legislation
Questioned I B«ll*CdOBI3
Elditor:
Whatever happened to Senate
Bill 188? It’s the measure which
calls for A&M students to come
up with $30 a year next Septem
ber to pay for the new hospital.
The Dallas Morning News said in
a Tuesday story that it had been
passed by the Senate.
I did not see anything in the
Battalion but I may have missed
the story. Anyhow, I would ap
preciate a good story telling why.
It will cost me $60, I’m afraid,
as my wife will enroll also next
fall. It seems to me that these
extra fees — student service,
building use fee, student center
complex fee, property deposit —
are getting out of hand, particu
larly at a state institution where
traditionally one can escape pay
ing very high fees to get an
education. Anyhow, that’s just
my opinion; I’d like to hear
others’.
David L. Morgan

great disgust that I write this
letter. It is inconceivable that the
Town Hall Committee could book
such an unknown band for an
event that is supposed to be the
highlight of the spring semester.
The fact that they couldn’t do
any beter shows a gross lack of
concern for the student body, es
pecially when big-name bands
such as America, Alice Cooper,
Humble Pie and Yes will be ap
pearing in Houston soon.
Last year, Chicago, James
Gang and Rare Earth made ap
pearances during the spring, so
why can’t A&M students be treat
ed to talent of a similar level ?
Hopefully, the band at the Fri
day night dance will provide some
of the entertainment supposed to
be present during Civilian Week
end.
And who is Freddie Hart?
True, they are out of the SWC
championship race. All they have
left to play for is pride. Well,
they must have a heckuva lot of
pride, because they gave every
thing they had Saturday in Lub
bock, although the A&M student
backing numbered only about 20.
They won, and I was proud to go
out into the court and jump into
the circle of celebrating Ag play
ers and lend my congratulations.
This brings up my point. True,
it is a great distance to some of
the games. But, the players go.
So, why can’t the students go
support them. So, Ags, go to Ft.
Worth Saturday and let them
know how great a job they have
done. It’s the least we can do.

“How’s that for a change of pace?”
Apparently you have not no
ticed, but the Battalion has cover
ed this issue in the past and is
still doing so (see lead story this
issue.) It was first mentioned
last iNov. 22 and has appeared
several times since. If you want
to know more about the bill and
how it effects you, contact your
student senator and see what he
has to say—Ed.

PARIS—The Big Five nations
Thursday joined in an endorse

peace agreement barring all for

Despite some skepticism over
the content and working of the
settlement, the nine-point declara
tion, initialed Thursday, was to
be signed Friday.

day night the 11 hostages held by
AIM leaders at Wounded Knee
since Tuesday “are free to go.”

before the AIM spokesman said
the hostages were being freed.

Editor;
I have read the letter from
the organizers of the Joe Arcinie-
ga Fan Club and I must whole
heartedly agree. Joe Arciniega
is one of the most dedicated and
unselfish individuals I have ever
known and I feel fortunate that
Joe is my friend. But, I feel a
point is being missed here. Joe
pulls for the whole team, true,
but that is also true of the 10
other players. Each and every
one is, to use their vernacular, a
true Aggie. And I think many of
the students at A&M should look
at themselves and see if they fit
into that category.
Those 11 guys are out on the
court every day working their
guts out practicing, and they play
their hearts out on the floor in
games. So, is it too much to ask
for Aggie students to show up
twice a week to lend their moral
and vocal support to their efforts.
