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

which might be available in the
remaining air-conditioned dorms
(unlike the Housing Office, we
don’t anticipate a mass exodus of
people moving off campus. 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.

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.
Great Issues members will be on
hand to answer questions.
The polls will be conducted
from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
