House Bill 426 refers only to state supported universities and if a board has several universi ties under its jurisdiction then there would be one student from each campus. The student would serve on the board for a one-year term and be elected by the student body at- large. .•Kruse said the goal of the bill is to improve communication be tween the board and students and a student board member would The A&M Wheelmen, an organ ization of bicyclists, will sponsor its second annual Brazos Century ride Sunday. “This is no April fool’s joke,” Wheelmen President Gary White said. “The ride will be held, and everybody is invited.

Frank Erwin, coordinator for the Board of Directors for the University of Texas system, spoke out against the bill. Erwin pointed out that any UT stu dent could speak in front of the UT Board of Directors and the system would pay for him to at tend. Erwin also said it would take too much of a student’s time for him to be placed on the board, but at the same time he said stu dents attending board meetings could not ask board members questions and the board did not consult the students. Erwin felt students in general could not be trusted, neither would they be discreet with the information they gained at board meetings, he said. Franklin, Wheelock and back to the campus. White urged each participant to bring a plastic water bottle, a sack lunch, and candy for snack ing. Multi-speed bikes in good condition are recommended. “In case of bike and people breakdowns, a sag wagon (truck) will follow the group,” he added. “The wagon will have extra wa ter, tools, first aid supplies—and sympathy.” If a person completes the ride and would like a certificate and patch attesting to his cycling prowess, he is required to pay a $1.50 entry fee, White said.

Stracke—31 Adrian Pompa—18 Although Bill Parsley, repre senting the Board of Directors at Texas Tech, was not in favor of the bill he did feel there was in put value to be gained from stu dents. He also said he respected the Student Government presi dent and Student Congress at Tech. President of the Texas Inter collegiate Student Association Hugh Moore said he was a form er student body president from the University of Texas at Arl ington and that he had been allowed to attend Board meetings and there was no opportunity to discuss. Neither, he continued, was he allowed to attend execu tive sessions. Bryon Peff, chairman of the subcommittee, was hesitant about the bill. He felt three other ideas should be considered which in clude the governor appointing one out of three nominated can didates from each campus, allow ing student representatives to sit in on all Board meetings and the inclusion of a faculty member. Bill Presnal of Bryan decided not to report the bill out of the committee as he wanted to give consideration to other bills con cerning students on boards of directors. The bill, tied in committee, will remain there for further research. According to Kruse the bill has been endorsed by the Texas Student Lobby, the A&M Student Senate and supported by a poll taken on the A&M campus last fall. “Last year the A&M Board of Directors turned down a direct request for the placement of such a student on the Board by the Senate,” said Kruse. Other representatives from A&M attending the meeting were Barb Sears and Fred Campbell.

This is good for about 15 min utes. But, he added, does not ap ply to parking in marked “no parking” zones. “These are no parking at any time.” Cars parked illegally, especially on the inside of the curve in front of the Krueger-Dunn complex and in front of the Memorial Student Center, block fire truck access. “We are just lucky we haven’t had a major fire,” Miori said. “We just want students to know the rules and some of the reasons for them,” said Miori. “Then we wouldn’t have half the ticketing we have now.” The panel has also upheld two bicycle tickets in a precedent set ting move. The first was for run ning a stop sign and the second was for not having a registration tag. “The bicycle regulations are state laws and they are being en forced,” he said. The Appeals panel meets every Tuesday evening in the MSC, Miori noted, and anyone can ap peal a ticket. They should go to the University Police to tell them they want to appeal it. Later the student will receive a letter noti fying him to attend a panel meet ing and state his case. Seven stu dents and two faculty-staff mem bers comprise the committee.
