A nine-passenger station wa-
ron will serve the night shuttle
Jus route as a result of action
iken by the Shuttle Bus Com-
littee Tuesday.
Effective in two weeks, the
Physical Plant vehicle will only
be used by those students with
a shuttle bus pass or coupon.
The feasibility of such a night
route service was studied by
Auxiliary Services Coordinator,
Ed Davis, Assistant to TAMU
President Roger Miller, Texas
Transportaion Inc. representative
Ron Holder and Dan Whitt from
the Physical Plant.
The four recommended that
the station wagon would be a
more economical and servicable
alternative to the shuttle bus at
night.
As a result of this proposal,,
shuttle bus riders will be able
to call a communication center
in the Physical Plant where the
vehicle will be located.
The wagon will then go to an
on-or off-campus location on es-
tableshed bus routes to pick up
or deliver passengers at the
regular street sites.
Sub-committee members sug
gested the south entrance to the
library be used as the main sta
tion for the vehicle as the library
provides telephone facilities and
a centralized location.
The night route wagon will
also service route four, where
shuttle busses did not.
“Old College View and Hensel
Apartments should be serviced
at night, too, since they’re pay
ing the same amount as other
shuttle bus riders,” said Tom
Taylor, committee member.
The committee also established
bus stops on routes one, two and

three. The City of College Sta
tion is supplying the signs to
designate stops along non-uni
versity routes.
“These stops are where they’ve
always been,” said Miller. “Hope
fully these designated stops will
make the system run faster.”
Route one has 10 stops, route
two has seven and route three
has seven or eight.
On-campus bus stops will be
plainly marked with bus stop
signs or by a painted curb. The
committee recommended the in
tersection of Houston Street,
Throckmorton Street and Joe
Routt Blvd on route two be curb
painted to designate bus stops.
This measure will also prevent
cars from blocking the stops.
Les Carpenter presented the
committee with complaints about
driver safety practices. Carpen
ter pointed out that the buses
begin moving before all passen
gers are seated and that they
exceed speeds of 35 miles per
hour on campus.
Carpenter also said busses
were stacking up on several
routes and asked the committee
to try to do something about it.
Shuttle Bus Committee mem
bers intend to look into the mat
ter of safe drivers. At the same
time, the committee said stu
dents should write down the bus
number, time and route number
if they have a complaint about
the over-all service. Students
should contact one of the com
mittee members listed on the
back of their bus card.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
United States was reported pre
paring Thursday to rush tons of
artillery shells and antitank am
munition to Israel to avert
threatened shortages after less
than a week of intense battles
between Israel and Syrian and
Egyptian forces.
Meanwhile, Pentagon sources
said Soviet transport planes have
been carrying replacements for
weapons and ammunition to Sy
ria and Egypt.
At least 80 Soviet AN 12 Cub
transport planes were said to
have reached Syria within the
past day loaded with surface-to-
air missiles, antitank rockets and
other war material.
The Pentagon sources said
hurried U. S. shipments would
be an emergency measure. There
were indications the shipments,
probably in Israeli planes, would
depart from remote fields in the
United States.
Decisions on replacing Israel’s
significant aircraft and tank
losses were discussed by the
White House, State and Defense
departments, officials said.
Deputy White House Press
Secretary Gerald L. Warren re
fused to answer questions about
resupplying Israel.
Meanwhile, the press of the
Middle East situation was re
portedly forcing Secretary of
State Henry A Kissinger to can
cel a weekend trip to Londen.
Resources of the U. S. Army
and Air Forces would be tapped
if the government decides to
send major military hardware to
Israel quickly.
One proposal under study
would transfer to the Israeli’s
Town Hall
To Present
F4 Phantom jets from U. S. Air
Force squadrons in Europe. The
planes would be replaced in the
U. S. Air Force inventory by air
craft being produced in the Unit
ed States for Israel.
According to latest intelli
gence, Israel lost close to 600
tanks and nearly 75 fighter
planes in the first five days of
the new war — about one-third
of the tanks and about one-
fourth of the jet fighters Israel
owned before the fighting erupt
ed Saturday.
Although Israel appeared to
have the upper hand on the Sy
rian front Israel faces further
significant losses in the Sinai
where main tank and infantry
battles remain to be fought with
Egypt.
Some U. S. officials think the
urgency would go out of any
need for replacing Israeli bat
tle losses if the Sinai battles are
short. The replacements could
then be made over a long term.

Nixon Faces Problems Finding ‘ No Sex Please ’
Suitable Successor for Agnew
gs lately:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
threat of a bitter congressional
fight over and possible rejection
of John Connally illustrates the
problem President Nixon faces
in nominating a new vice presi
dent.
Nixon’s criteria are a person
who is qualified to be Presi
dent, someone who shares his
foreign policy views and a nom
inee who can win the approval
of the Democratic - controlled
House and Senate.
Leading Democrats are firmly
opposed to Connally and some Re
publicans warn that his selection
would split both parties and pre
cipitate a bitter and protracted
struggle.
Asked Thursday if he thought
Republicans would make this
clear in submitting their three
recommendations — both posi
tive and negative—to the Pres
ident, one GOP senator said:
“If he doesn’t know it by now,
then it’s hopeless.”
At the White House, Press
Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said
Nixon “wants to move as exped
itiously and rapidly as possible,”
in sending the name of his choice
as Agnew’s successor to Con
gress. Ziegler said the President
has made clear he wants the
“direct views” of congressional
and Republican leaders, gover-
Student Group
To Begin
Conference
A series of Texas Student As
sociation conferences will begin
here this weekend with a fair
housing conference.
“Almost all the schools in the
state have been invited but we
have no idea of how many will
come,” said Barb Sears, chairman
of the A&M fair housing commit
tee.
Plans for the conference include
model leases, fair housing publi
cations from other schools, dis
plays and panel discussions.
“This is a great opportunity
for idea sharing and a chance to
improve our fair housing serv
ice,” said Sears.
The conference is in Room 401
of the Rudder Tower, Sunday,

nors and GOP state chairmen.
Basically, Nixon appears to
have three choices:
Selection of one of the major
figures in the GOP giving one of
the party’s presidential hope
fuls a leg up on the 1976 nom
ination. Besides Connally this list
is headed by New York Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller, who has
passed the word he has an “ac
tive interest,” and California
Gov. Ronald Reagan.
Selection of a respected sen
ior statesman, a person of im
peccable credentials with a less
partisan tinge, in a bid to re
store national unity. Former Sec
retary of State William P. Rog
ers appears to head this list,
along with retired Sens. John
Sherman Cooper of Kentucky
and John J. Williams of Dela
ware; Sen. Barry Goldwater of
Arizona, and the two top GOP
congressional leaders, Sen. Hugh
Scott and Rep. Gerald R. Ford.
A dark horse, a younger less
mentioned figure, in the way
Spiro T. Agnew was selected in
this context were former Rep.
Donald Rumsfeld, the U. S. am
bassador to the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization; former
California Lt. Gov. Robert Finch,
and former Pennslyvania Gov.
William W. Scranton, whose
presence in Washington on an
apparently unrelated matter
sparked considerable speculation.
Turnbull Hosted
In Lecture Series
The College of Liberal Arts will
present Dr. Colin M. Turnbull,
professor of anthropology at Vir
ginia Commonwealth University,
in the University Lecture Series
Thursday.
Dr. Turnbull will speak on “The
Ik: A Study of Social Degenera
tion” at 8 p.m. in the main lecture
hall of the Zachry Engineering
Center.
Dr. Turnbull, an anthropologist
of international renown, is the
author of four books and served
as curator of African Ethnology
at the Museum of Natural His
tory in New York City from 1959-
1968.
A native of England, the pro
fessor received his doctorate from
Oxford University and also stud
ied at the School of Oriental and
African Studies of the University
of London.
He is a fellow of the Royal
Anthropology Institute, London,
and of the International African
Institute, Belgium. Dr. Turnbull
was a professor of anthropology
at Hofstra University on Long
Island for five years before join
ing Virginia Commonwealth Uni
versity.
The professor conducted re
search on six field trips between
1951 and 1971 in the Congo,
Uganda, East and West Africa
and India and spent two years
with the Ik, a people who live in
wretched villages on the moun
tains of Northeast Uganda.
To survive amidst starvation,
the Ik have evolved a culture of
extreme individualism. Each mem
ber of the tribe is concerned only
with himself. They are thrown
out of families at the age of
three and survive by exploiting
their families, neighbors, other
tribesmen and the government.
Dr. Turnbull uses the Ik to ex
plore the foundation of morality
and order. He raises the question
of whether prolonged crises could
result in the “Icean solution” for
the rest of the world.
The University Lecture Series
provide an opportunity for the
academic community and the gen
eral public to hear renowned au
thorities speak on subjects of
broad social, political and intel
lectual interest.
The lectures are sponsored by
TAMU’s academic vice president
and the academic colleges. There
is no charge for admission to the
series.
Correction
The Battalion erroneously re
ported Thursday that the Stu
dent Senate approved a Writ of
Mandamous resolution when in
actuality the measure failed in
the session.
Arguments against the mea
sure included that “it told the
senators what they had to do,”
was not specific in that it had
implied powers and the senators
did not understand the measure
or the reasoning behind it.
During the session it was
pointed out that the measure
could be brought before the sen
ate again in a different form if
it did not pass the first time.

“No Sex Please, We’re British”
will be presented at Bryan Civic
Auditorium Oct. 22 at 8 p.m.
The international hit comedy
play stars Noel Harrison, the son
of Rex Harrison. The play is
sponsored by Rotary Community
Series in cooperation with TAMU
Town Hall.
“No Sex Please,” is in its third
year and will tour the United
States and Canada this fall.
The play concerns a new bride
who takes a job handling Scandi
navian glassware. The glassware
distributor, however, is actually
a dealer of pornography, which
causes problems.
Noel Harrison has many tele
vision, stage and movie credits
including roles in TV’s The Girl
From U.N.C.L.E., Mission Im
possible, To Catch A Thief, Love
American Style and Ironside.
In motion pictures he has ap
peared with Kim Novak in “Moll
Flanders, “The Best of Enemies”
with David Niven, and “Take a
Girl Like You” with Haley Mills
and Oliver Reed.
As a recording artist, Harrison
has four albums out with a fifth
album of his own songs soon to
be released.
Tickets for students are $2 and
patrons $5.
The Residence Hall Association
accepted joint responsibility with
Town Hall for acquiring a band
for the RHA weekend.
The RHA would be responsible
for 4,000 seats in G. Rollie White,
900 of which are in the reserve
section, according to David Fun
derburks, White Hall president.
Funderburke said Town Hall
was looking to fill 90 per cent
of the house during Spring Fling
weekend.
“We’re looking at groups be
tween $15,000 and $20,000,” Fun-
derburke said. “Groups in this
range include the Doobie Broth
ers, Loggins and Messina and
Roberta Flack.”
In order to get a booking for
the weekend, the group the RHA
picks would have to be in the
area at the time.
RHA President Randy Gil
lespie told the body that Town
Hall had already allocated
$7,500 for the RHA weekend and
the first part of the losses would
be assumed by Town Hall with
the money.
During the meeting, Gillespie
said there was $100,000 put aside
for dorm improvements.
“Director of Management Serv
ices Howard Vestal has almost
assured me that $65,000 of this
money will be going to paint
dorms 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12,” said
Gillespie. “Dorms need to turn
in their requests for dorm im
provements by 5 p.m. Monday in
the RHA office, but they
shouldn’t be too hopeful.”
Gillespie further added that
the general renovation for one
dorm is $35,000. “The student
body president, corps commander
and I all turn in priority lists
for use of the same money.”
“What about the hole I have
in the wall in Hotard?” said Bill
Coleman, Hotard president. “It
has a lot of mosquitoes and if
this is phase II then I don’t want
phase III.”
When Krueger President Lau
rie Koenig asked how to go about
getting a fire extinguisher for
the residence hall, all Gillespie
said was, “The best thing to do
is to turn the request into every
thing and see if anything comes
out.”
In other action, the RHA ap
proved the extension of open
house hours on Halloween to
allow for inter-dorm activities
after the horror shows are over
in the Grove the same day.
Koenig supported the measure,
which has to be approved through
the director of student activities
office, by saying the girls in her
dorm wished to trick ’n treat on
Halloween night in the guys
dorms.
High Food Prices Spell Doom
For Weekly Steak Nights
The increase in food prices has put a
squeeze on the campus food service facili
ties.
Total on-campus food service costs rose
23 per cent over last semester. Food prices
alone rose 21 per cent, said Ed Davis, aux
iliary service coordinator for management
services.
This cost increase has affected students
most noticeably in the popular steak serv
ings. Steak is now served twice during a
five week cycle rather than the weekly serv
ings of last year.
“Our only alternative to cutting steak
servings would be to increase board fees,”
said Davis.
Two years ago students voted to go
without Sunday supper in order to receive
weekly steak servings. With the recent
steak cut-backs students have raised the
possibility of returning Sunday suppers.
“We can’t afford either program right
now,” said Davis. “And the menu board has
decided that when we do have enough money
to cover one program or the other, the steak
servings should get priority.”
“Beef supply has eased slightly,” said
Davis. “In our first meat buying session
after the price freeze ended prices were
down slightly. We are waiting to see what
will happen.”
“There are no critical shortages of food
except in fruits such as apples, cherries and
grapes,” said Davis.
FOOD SELECTION
Canned goods are selected during a “can
cutting” session. The food service depart
ment orders two sample cans of each good
from different canning companies.
One can from each company is opened
and checked for quality. The better goods
are then weighed to determine the best
price per quantity and a year’s supply is
ordered. The other can is held to compare
the sample product with the product re
ceived.
Eggs and frozen goods are contracted for
60 days with weekly delivery. Fresh meat
is bought weekly and produce twice weekly.
SBISA WAITERS
“Several years ago being a waiter was
a prestigious position,” said Davis. The
position was valuable because the job was
convenient in terms of location and sched
ule flexibility.
“This attitude has since changed, per
haps because of rising affluence and people
don’t need jobs as much as they used to.”
Davis said all students who applied were
hired.
