Liquor Resolution Passes;
New Center Dedication Asked
By VICKIE ASHWILL
The on-campus liquor resolu
tion was approved in a roll call
vote, 55-10 with 10 abstentions
by the TAMU Student Senate
Wednesday night.
This proposal will now go to
the administration with final ap
proval to be set by the Board of
Directors. Senate bill 20(5) asks
for a change in University policy
to allow the possession and pri
vate consumption of alcoholic bev
erages in the resident halls.
“TAMU President Jack K. Wil
liams said he had polled the
board and had received a negative
response. In other words they
would probably turn down such
a proposal,” said Rules and Reg
ulations Chairman Curt Marsh.
Marsh said that the board was
not “ignorant” and that he was
sure they kept up with student
issues.
“The next time this issue is
brought up, it would no longer
be new and the chances of it
passing would be much better,”
Marsh said. “If we turn it down,
it would be telling the board that
we had given in to their opinion
and that we did not take a stand
on issues.
The present liquor policy on the
TAMU campus is “selective en
forcement” handed down by the
administration which unofficially
allows liquor in the dorm rooms.
Liquor is also allowed in the mar
ried student apartments. The only
official rule pertaining to alcohol
on-campus is in the University
Rules and Regulations handbook
which says liquor should not be
in the dorm rooms.
“The safest place for someone
to get drunk is in his room,” said
Raifford M. Ball (Sci.). “We
should let the Board make the
final analysis on the topic.”
Jan Faber (L.A.) said liquor
would be allowed in the corps
dorms if the administration ac
cepted the Senate’s proposal but
there would be liquor times set.
The discipline aspect of the
measure was also brought up in
the Senate. Students disobeying
the rules would be subject to the
same discipline as other students
disregarding other rules.
“Presently, the residence advi
sors are supposed to ignore the
possession and consumption of al
cohol in the dorms unless abuse
is being done to the building, a
roommate or dormmate,” said
Student Government President
Randy Ross. “It’s like a ‘turn the
other cheek’ type policy.”
Senators pointed out some neg
ative aspects of the policy such
as the opposition by strong relig
ious groups on campus, the re
action of the former students and
of parents.
“We need to take a long-range
look at the results of this action,”
said Ron Miori (Bus.). “I would
be scared if the Board passed
such a measure, it would be like
taking the leash off the dogs.”
In summary, the resolution
asks that alcoholic beverages be
permitted in all campus housing
facilities as long as the person
is 18. These beverages would only
be allowed to be consumed in the
rooms and must be in some form
of covering or wrapper when out
side of the rooms.
Senators passed the Memorial
Student Center dedication reso
lution 62 to 10 with five absten
tions.
The proposal says that the Stu
dent Senate will recommend to
the administration that the me
morial status of the MSC be of
ficially extended to the grounds
and new addition of the MSC.
“I came before the Senate sev
eral weeks ago,” said Don Webb,
president of the MSC council,
“and found a large majority of
the students were in favor of a
hat policy within the MSC..
“Several thousands of students
enter and leave TAMU each
year,” continued Webb. “Persons
not familiar with the tradition
are often yelled at by the Ags.
Now there is the addition of the
conference tower where more per
sons will be here who are not
acquainted with the rule and
would be insulted if yelled at.”
The resolution, will go before
Dr. Williams for his decision on
whether or not the MSC and the
grounds will be considered a me
morial. The MSC council will de
cide if the memorial status of the
grass will prevent students from
walking on it.
Roger Miller, staff assistant to
the president, said that he under
stood William’s stand on the mat
ter to be “that just because the
building was added on to the orig
inal MSC the memorial standing
of the building was not changed.
Miller also said Dr. Williams
would do what the students want
ed to do in the matter, whether
it be to rededicate the MSC or
just leave it as is.
Senators said that if students
were allowed to walk on the grass
the end result would be paths
around the center.
“The University landscape ar
chitect said he wanted people
walking on the grass,” said Webb.
“Previous policy in this matter
has been to wait six months and
then put the sidewalks where the
paths are.”
Another solution to the prob
lem would be to landscape the

and that the Syrian front was
quiet.
The White House rejected the
idea of sending in American and
Soviet troops, commenting: “This
is not the time in which the in
volvement of the great powers
could be helpful.”
Eight nonaligned nations pro
posed creation of a U. N. military
force to bring peace to the Egyp-
tian-Israeli front.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Mo-
hamed H. el-Zayyat claimed at an
emergency night meeting of the
Security Council that the Israelis
were attacking Egyptian forces on
the east bank of the Suez Canal
Wednesday night with “laser-
jets.”
He said the entire front was
blazing on the west bank.
Zayyat said that was the situa
tion at 1 a.m. Thursday. But the
Israeli military command said the
fighting abated at dusk Wednes
day following massive Egyptian
ground and air attacks in the aft
ernoon.
Israel said its pilots shot down
15 Egyptian jets in dogfights.
Egyptian communiques said a
large number of Israeli tanks
were knocked out in the day’s
fighting, including 13 around
Suez at the southern end of the
canal. The communiques said Is
rael suffered “serious losses.”
Mancini Presents
Variety of Music
Henry Mancini, scheduled to
appear in G. Rollie White Coli
seum at 8 p.m., Friday, has won
20 Grammy awards, six Gold
Album awards, the Hollywood
Foreign Press Association’s Gold
en Globe and three Academy
Awards of 13 nominations.
The secret of his success is not
in presenting a specific type of
music, but rather lies in his
ability to fuse various kinds of
music into a cohesive piece of
music.
“I’m a commercial writer,”
Mancini told The Battalion Wed
nesday. “This could take in any
thing: jazz, classical. Right now
I’m in the process of putting to
gether a country and western
album. I just don’t like to stand
still in one place.”
Mancini has written songs for
small combos (“Peter Gunn
Theme,” “Pink Panther Theme”)
and for large orchestras (“Moon
River,” “Charade”) but he main
tains he never takes into con
sideration the size of the per
forming group. Instead he con
centrates on the melody.
“Any tune with a good melody
can be played by anybody,” he
said, “regardless of their size.”
Mancini said his favorite work
was “Two For the Road,” which
he wrote for the movie of the
same name. Quincy Jones, Lalo
Schifrin and Jimmy Webb are
among his favorite contemporary
composers but he said he is not
too partial to avant-garde or
progressive jazz.
“I listen to it but it’s very self-
indulgent,” he said. “I’m a pro
fessional musician and sometimes
it gets by me. It seems to be a
good chance to be phony, to say
you like or understand it when
you really can’t figure it out.”
Mancini cited French impres
sionism (Debussy, Ravel, Bartok,
Stravinsky) as being among his
greatest influences but said he
also listened to jazz greats Art
Tatum and Fats Waller during
his formative years.
Mancini’s son has felt quite
different influences. He has
formed a rock group that has
already appeared on the TV show,
“Midnight Special,” and will be
recording an album soon.
“Rock is quite a commercial
thing,” said Mancini. “I don’t
think it comes on to be as much
a folk art as is jazz.”
This feeling has not kept him
from using rock in his material.
One of his more recent albums
found him doing the overture
from “Tommy” and parts of
“Jesus Christ Superstar.”
“If I can make a rock piece
work for me, I’ll do it,” he said.
“I have no prejudices in that
respect. I don’t know if you can
classify some of the material as
rock. The music out of ‘Jesus
Christ Superstar’ could have
come right out of Tin Pan Alley.”
Mancini enjoys performing be
fore college audiences.
“Colleges are nice,” he said. “I
like them very much. I think
many young people are surprised
at how much they enjoy our con
certs. Anybody will be quite
pleased to see an orchestra of our
size.”

“Expanding Health Care” and
the dedication of the new athle

ned this weekend preceding the

Military Units Placed on Alert;
Mid-east Connection Indicated
WASHINGTON <A>) _ The
Pentagon today ordered key U.S.
military units to alert status aft
er the United States received re
ports the Soviet Union might
send troops to enforce the Mid
dle East cease-fire. President
Nixon met with congressional
leaders who reported the em
phasis remained on diplomatic
rather than military moves.
House Speaker Carl Albert, D-
Okla., said the alert was only a
precautionary action. “But the
overwhelming emphasis is on
diplomacy at this time,” Albert
said.
At the Capitol later, Albert
was asked if he felt there is no
confrontation with the Soviet
Union. He replied: “I would say
that is correct.”
The speaker and 13 other lead
ers of Congress met for 70 min
utes with Nixon and Secretary of
State Henry A. Kissinger at the
White House.
The Soviet government broad
cast to its people word that
Egypt had requested Russian and
American troops be sent to help
enforce the ceasefire between Is
rael and her Arab foes.
But Moscow declined comment
on the report from a U.S. gov
ernment source that American
forces had been alerted upon word
that Soviet troops might be sent
in unilaterally.
The United States has rejected
the Egyptian request for troops
to supervise the ceasefire.
A senior Egyptian official said
in Cairo that the Soviet Union
had offered to send forces to po
lice the Middle East. But Ashraf
Ghorbal, an adviser to President
Anwar Sadat, would not say
whether Egypt would accept So
viet forces if the United States
refues to join in policing the
cease-fire.
Israel reported that its forces
were observing the cease-fire.

Chairman J. William Fulbright
said after the White House meet
ing he was very hopeful that ac
tion in the United Nations Se
curity Council today would re
solve the problem.
Earlier, other U.S. government
sources said the Pentagon alerted
its units after receiving word the
Soviets might send troops to the
Middle East.
Assaulters Tough
Catch for Police
WITH THE GROWING NUMBER of new coeds on
campus the University Police are becoming - increasingly
concerned with the safety of women walking on campus
at night. (Photo by Rodger Mallison)
Catching rapists and assaulters
is a minor problem for the police
when the victims co-operate by
identifying the suspect, pressing
charges and testifying in court.
However, the national average
shows that only three out of every
10 assaults are reported and in
many cases the victim will not
prosecute. So the chances of the
police obtaining a conviction
through the help of the victim
are rare.
Embarrassing trials and pub
licity are considered the major
deterrents to police co-operation.
For this reason campus investi
gators would like to make it
known that in return for a vic
tim’s co-operation, an investiga
tion will be handled according to
the victim’s wishes.
The Brazos County press has
been very co-operative in with
holding names of victims, said
an investigator for the university
police.
The district attorneys and
judges will also do their part to
see that undue embarrassment is
not caused during trial, said A&M
Chief O. L. Luther.
“To obtain a rape conviction
the victim must prove that the
act was committed under force,
fraud or threat,” said Brazos
County District Judge Davis.
Rape by fraud would occur if
a fake marriage was staged and
the girl engaged in intercourse
under the impression that she was
married.
When a girl is told that she or
someone else will be harmed un
less she submits, that is rape by
threat.
To prove rape by force the girl
must show that she did every
thing within her power to pre
vent the act.
him. A&M’s Olympic size pool al
ready bears his name.
Dedication ceremonies for the
athletic dormitory now under con
struction will be held at 8:45 a.m.
at the construction site.
In addition to the dedication, a
scroll will be unveiled at 10 a.m.
in the University Library.
Cain and his wife have provided
financial assistance for several
construction projects and have
To make an attempted rape or
assault charge stick in court the
police must hav two things: a
complaining witness to press
charges and proof that the de
fendant intended to assault or
rape the victim.
Investigators for the campus
police find themselves in a
dilemma on how to catch rapists
and assaulters. They encounter
difficulties when they can’t get
enough evidence to make an
arrest that will stick.
When a girl comes to the police
station and reports she has been
assaulted, the police first try to
identify the suspect, then the
location of the assault is staked
out. Now the problems begin.
The purpose of a stake-out is
to catch repeaters in another
assault attempt. The police have
to draw a fine line, letting the
assaulter take enough action to
prove his intent yet not endan
gering the safety of the victim.
The victim may be a girl who
happens to wander into the stake
out area and is then used as
“bait” to draw an attacker.
The campus police have used
unknowing victims and were
reprimanded. They answer that
the girls would have been there
anyway and they are keeping
close watch to keep her from
harm.
Investigators tried to use the
new campus police women as
“bait” but were told, “No.”
They then went to an outside
police department to recruit
trained police women. The in
vestigators again were told not
to use the women.
So the investigators find them
selves in a dilemma on how to
catch assaulters. A problem
which needs to be rectified.

space which is used for treatment
clinics, doctors’ offices, a waiting
room and other hospital facilities.
The center, which opened Oct. 15,
is “second to none, at least in the
Southwest” according to Dr.
Powe.
Tours of the center will be con
ducted by the members of TA-
MU’s senior women’s honor so
