Newspaper Page TextwMimm Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Tuesday, March 6, 1973 Listen Up— CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle JJoUSillg “I’ve got it figured that I only have room for parking permits through 1982 before I have to scrape some off!” Law School Proposals Are Rejected By State Board Three proposals for new law schools were rejected Friday by the State College Coordinating Board. The board turned down A&M, North Texas State University and University of Texas—Dallas after an advisery committee made its report. The board also denied a pro posal for a department of legal studies at NTSU and a proposal by SMU to contract with the state for training additional law students. “It really came as no surprise to anyone,” said A&M President Jack K. Williams. “We simply asked that if there was to be an enlargement of the law program in Texas, that we could handle such a school at A&M.” Leon Jaworski of Houston, chairman of the committee, told tha board nearly all of approxi mately 300 Texas lawyers who voiced an opinion said there was no need for new law schools. Board member Fred Moore of Austin asked Jaworski if the committee was able to eliminate from its consideration the “self- interest that was almost unani mously expressed” by those law yers. Jaworski noted there were sev eral lawyers on the committee and that it was difficult to keep personal prejudice out of it but “we certainly did not buy every thing that was said without go ing into it and looking at it dis passionately.” Board member Marshall Form- by of Plainview voted no and Newton Gresham of Houston ab stained. “The law of economics will take care of it,” Formby said. “Engineers don’t have anybody telling them how many there can be.” Conference (Continued from page 1) thought Cong. Bella Abzug’s (D- NY) bill to rid banks and credit agencies of discrimination against women would fail strictly because of her personality or because she is sponsoring the proposal. Kruse, in looking back over the conference, said he thought it could have been more organized and wished delegates could have talked to congressmen on a more open and frank basis. “We made an impression on them, though,” said Kruse. “With 600 students coming from 44 states in the same three-day pe riod, the NSL was noticed and made congressmen more aware that students do care and the NSL is an organized input.” Editor: JuSt wanted the gang down in administration to know that the guys over here in Keathley are thinking of them. We really have to hand it to you guys. You have a remarkable capacity to take ‘ the most favorable situations and find a way to screw as many students as possible with it. You really did a job this time. In one brilliant maneuver, you have managed to panic about 700 stu dents who didn’t know where in the hell they’re going to be living next semester, eliminate air-con ditioned suite-type dorms for men, make the on-campus hous ing shortage for men so critical it will be nearly impossible for those being evicted from their dorms to find other rooms, and in the end create the same prob lem for men which formerly ex isted for the women. Nice shot, fellows. We may just be dumb Aggies, but it just seems that there must have been a better way to pull this off. Off hand, two come to mind. One would be to let the girls have just one or two of the dorms. Another would be to let them have just two floors in each dorm. It’s really nice to know that the administration passed up these two reasonable alterna tives and picked the one that would cause the most problems. We’re still trying to figure out why there is no limit on the number of rooms the girls can have. It seems reasonable to as sume that if the men have to stand in line all night at the housing office to get an air-con ditioned room, the women should have to, also. We don’t want to sound spoiled, but living in Leg- get, Hotard, or some other dorm where you get a cockroach for a roommate isn’t a whole lot of fun. Most of us did it as fresh men. So, now we’re faced with the delightful alternatives of liv ing in one of those cockroach- manor type un-air-conditioned dorms, living in Dunn (which very few people can afford), standing in line for three days to fight for the 30 or 40 rooms Last Manners Panel Is Slated For Wednesday The third Viewpoint Panel will be Wednesday night at 7:30 in the Memorial Student Center Ballroom. The last of the panels, this one is made up of five coeds from Texas Women’s University. Becky McCreary, last year’s Ag gie Sweetheart, will be a mem ber of the panel. The panel will discuss: steps to marriage, going steady, pin ned or dropped, promise ring, en gagement and marriage, Joan Davis of Lufkin, Melinda Hyer of Bellaire, Ina Steadham of Fairfax, Virginia, and Karen English of San Antonio make up the other members.

In the past, if someone wanted off bad enough, he managed to find a way to get off), or (for those of us who have cars) moving off campus. I’m sure you guys took all this into account when you made your decision. Our guess js that the Board of Directors isn’t the culprit here. They just approved coed housing on the north side of the campus, which is what everyone wanted. We suppose that leaves the Housing Office, the same Hous ing Office that we’ve all come to know and love, to decide who leaves and who doesn’t stay. If you’re going to screw people around, get somebody who’s an expert at it — like the Housing Office. However, the thing that bothers us most is that nobody took into account that real peo ple actually live in these balcony dorms, and these people have the same financial problems and care just as much about their living conditions as the almighty Mag gie. The Keathley Hall Emigration Department Three things: 1. The residents of Mclnnis and Schuhmacher will be interested to know their dorms no longer exist (first graph). 2. Residents of your complex & Dunn will have first dorm pri ority over the rest of the enroll ment. 3. No one has said the dorms wouldn’t be split up between men and women except yourself.—Ed. Great Issues To Conduct Poll A student opinion poll will be taken Wednesday by the Great Issues Committee to determine which speakers, topics and type of programming students would like to see at A&M. “We spend student money through student fees,” stressed T. C. Cone, chairman of the com mittee, “so we feel we should have as much input by the stu dent body as possible. These polls are our main source of this in put.” The polling locations will be the Academic Building bell, Zach- ry Engineering Center lobby, Li brary, Commons area and Dun can and S b i s a Dining Halls.
