After a debate of an hour and
one-half the Student Senate pass
ed the mid-term grades issue last
night by a vote of 56-14 with
three abstentions.
This resolution, introduced by
John Tyler (Corps), recommends
to the administration that mid
semester grades be mailed only to
freshman students, students on
scholastic probation and students
having a grade of D or F in a
course.
The bill also encourages the
faculty to post mid-term grades.
Professors Jane McGill and
Chris Smeins gave favorable com
ments for the bill.
“I don’t feel I can give an ac
curate report of the student’s
progress by mid-semester,” said
McGill. “I would be glad to give
a satisfactory or unsatisfactory
grade, but as it is now I just give
a blanket grade of incomplete.”
“You can’t force a student to
be concerned about his grades,”
said Smeins.
McGill also said that mid-se
mester grades are sometimes used
in determining admission to pro
fessional schools. “I do not feel
that this is fair,” she said.
Academic Affairs Chairperson
Steve Eberhard said the bill is
not intended to throw out mid
term grades entirely but to help
alleviate pressure put on students
during “mid-semester quiz week.”
If approved by the administra
tion, the plan will go into effect
next fall, Eberhard said.
Senators also approved an en
ergy conservation resolution
which involves a program to in
form students of what they can
do to conserve energy.
Greg Smith (arch.) said that
many students are not aware of
what they can do to conserve en
ergy. Their purpose is to inform,
he said.
Greg Johnson (Eng.) said that
students living off campus will
be encouraged to ride shuttle
buses and to form car pools in
order to save on gasoline. They
will ask all students to be more
conservative when using all elec
trical items, including lighting
and stereos.
In other action the Senate pass
ed the published evaluation of
professors bill.
This evaluation is an essential
improvement of the educational
institution, stated the proposal.
It is to aid the student in choos
ing elective courses and to pro
vide some general information
about the courses a student takes,
required or elective.
Eberhard said that presently
the College of Liberal Arts has
an evaluation form.
“This will be the form used for
the evaluations,” he said.

Plans Made for Coed
Priority in K-D Lot
The TAMU Traffic Panel final
ized plans to reorganize the park
ing areas for Krueger, Dunn,
Corps of Cadets, dorm 10 and
dorm 12 residents Wednesday.
This plan, unanimously approv
ed by the committee, has been ap
proved by Dr. John J. Koldus,
vice president for student services
and will go into effect next Thurs
day at 7 a. m.
The original intention of this
plan was to protect Krueger resi
dents, said Col. Robert L. Melcher,
administrative officer to the vice
president of student services. “The
sooner this plan goes into effect
the better it will be for the wo
men students,” he said.
The Oct. 10 meeting of the
Traffic Panel resulted in the fol
lowing recommendation to Kol
dus:
"... that women students in
Krueger-Dunn be given first pri
ority for assignment of parking
spaces in the Krueger-Dunn por
tion of Lot 24; second priority is
recommended for male students
on a seniority (credit hour) basis.
Any remaining students unable
to park in the area assigned to
Krueger- Dunn would be required
to park elsewhere, specifically in
Lots 48 and 50.”
Melcher’s office revised the
plan which will now allocate rows
one, two, three, four and 16 spaces
in the west end of row six to
Krueger residents.
“Krueger residents will be giv
en a number 24 to put above their
present K-D sticker sometime
next week,” said Melcher.
Krueger has 179 registered cars
and the new parking plan will
give the women students 182
spaces in Lot 24. Under the pre
sent system, both Krueger and
Dunn must compete to park in 406
spaces in a situation where 571
K-D stickers were issued.
“There are only eight K-D
stickers unaccounted for,” said
Melcher. “The rumors are just not
true when they say students have
been able to pick up these stickers
by just walking into the office.”
The remaining proposal gives
the 192 cars registered to Dunn
juniors and seniors 184 spaces in
rows five, seven, eight, nine and
24 spaces at the east end of row
six.
Juniors and seniors in dorms 10
and 12 And the Corps of Cadets
have 877 spaces issued to the 852
registered cars.
This allocates rows 10 through
18 in Lot 24 to Corps maroon per
mit holders and rows one and two
to both Corps and dorms 10 and 12
maroon permit holders.
Additional spaces for maroon
permit holders residing in Cadet
dorms and dorms 10 and 12 are
40 newly marked spaces within
Lots 24 and 40 on the east and
west sides. These students may
also park in the 39 marked spaces
on Bizell Street south of Lewis
Street and in the 67 spaces on
Throckmorton Street to be shared
with day students.
“We found in a survey taken
on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day that there was an average of
33 vacant spaces from Lewis
Street to Jersey Street,” said
Melcher. “These will be put on a
first come, first serve basis for
day students and dorm residents.”
Rows three through 14 in Lot
40 are for holders of green soph
omore classification permits for
students in Dunn dorms 10 and 12
and the Corps. These persons will
be issued a figure 40 in order to
designate them from other green
stickers, said Melcher.
Holders of green permits, fresh
men classification, residing in any
of these areas with the exception
of Krueger will park in the re
maining spaces in Lots 48, 49 and
50, according to Melcher.
Ted Paup, committee member,
said the Corps staff approved the
plan and would take steps to get
it going.
Melcher said the president of
Dunn gave his approval and that
incidentals on the side had also
given their ok on the matter.
of whether or not to have their
evaluations published. A letter
will be sent to all faculty mem
bers explaining the background,
objectives, mechanics and bene
fits of the evaluation.
The Student Government will ap
propriate $1000 from the Strake
Fund to cover the costs of provid
ing the necessary forms and pub
lication. The evaluation sheets
will be sold for a small fee and
will be distributed in the Memo
rial Student Center, in dorms and
off-campus, Eberhard said.
The resolution of recreational
facilities was also passed by the
Senate.
The proposal is to form a stand
ing committee to determine and
make suggestions to fulfil recre
ational facilities. It also reviews
proposals for recreational appro
priations.
Senators passed an emergency
measure for temporary lighting
on-campus. This bill proposes that
permanent lighting be installed
along the sidewalks of Jones
Street and in front of the old Uni
versity hospital.
Senators discussed appropria
tions for the book exchange pro
gram. This is a service to help
students trade their textbooks and
receive maximum benefits of trad
ing.
Tyler said that the exchange
“acts merely as a holding agent.”
The students would bring books
in and when the books are sold,
a check would be sent to the orig
inal owner.
Appropriations of $160 are
needed for the exchange.
Senators also discussed a reso
lution for the expansion of bicy
cle paths on Jersey Street and
other areas of College Station
where it would be beneficial to
students, faculty and staff.

The National Student Lobby
Annual Referendum has been re
printed on page two of this issue
for students to complete and drop
by the Student Government Of
fice, Room 216 Memorial Student
Center; or the Battalion, Room
216 of the Reed McDonald Build
ing.
The referendum polls students
on issues ranging from funding
levels for federal student finan
cial aid to sex discrimination and
priorities for government spend
ing.
In addition to determining gen
eral lobby policy for the coming
year, results will also determine
priority issues for students lob
bying at the third annual lobby
conference in Washington next
February.
Barb Sears, who is on the NSL
National Board of Directors, not
ed that students need not belong
to the organization to fill out
the poll. There is membership ap
plication provided at the bottom
of the poll, if students want to
join.
“We want to get as large a
cross-section of student opinion
as possible in order to present
legislators with hard, documented
information on what problems
students face and what issues
they are concerned with,” said
Sears.

Powers of Senate
Punishment Asked
University of Texas Brings Jazz to Aggieland (See story page 3)
By VICKIE ASHWILL
Student voters once again find
themselves faced with an election
where they must vote for or
against constitutional amend
ments.
This time it’s not the Texas
Constitution but the TAMU Stu
dent Body Constitution and the
election is set for Nov. 13.
Of the three amendments, the
third one (Article III, Section
IV-j) is the most vague, said
Randy Ross, Student Government
president.
The proposed addition states:
“(The Student Senate can) pun
ish its members for disorderly
behavior, and with concurrence of
two-thirds present and voting,
expel a member.”
“The amendment is based on
the U.S. Constitution,” said Aca
demic Affairs Chairperson Steve
Eberhard. “We deliberately did
not want to spell out an exact
definition for ‘punish’ or ‘dis
orderly behavior. This matter
was brought up several times on
the floor of the Senate and no
decision was ever reached.”
Eberhard said the definition for
the controversial words would be
set by the Senate when and if the
problem ever arises.
“I feel the constituents should
be able to recall their own sena
tor,” said Ross. “It is an unreal
istic method of punishment.”
Treasurer David White argued
for the amendment by saying
there needs to be some means to
recall a senator other than de
pending on his constituency.
“Hopefully, it will never have
to be used, but the majority stu
dents don’t vote in elections and
they don’t care,” said White.
“There needs to be some policy
where the Senate can police its
own members.”
Ross said the whole amend
ment was ambiguous. “I do not
think we need a constitution on
the same level as the U. S. Con
stitution but it needs to be on the
level of the students.”
“The spirit of the whole thing
would be for the impeachment
process to take two-thirds vote to
pass even for punishment just
short of expulsion,” said Eber
hard.
Eberhard also said the amend
ment would balance out the con
stitution in that the legislative
body can impeach appointed mem
bers of the executive branch of
SC.
The two remaining amend
ments concern the removal of a
senator for conduct or scholastic
probation.
These two additions read as
follows:
University National Bank
“On the side of Texas A&M.”
Ady.
(Article III, Section H-b) The
amendment presently reads, “No
person elected within the provi
sions of this Constitution may be
removed because of scholastic
reasons unless he is placed on
scholastic probation.” The pro
posed addition states ..... . “in
which case he shall be removed
from office immediately.”
(Article III, Section H-i) “Any
person elected within the provi
sions of this Constitution who is
placed on conduct probation shall
be removed from office immedi
ately.”
“The action was probably
prompted by one senator who
was on conduct probation,” said
Ross, referring to Larry Matula,
senator from the Legett-Hart-
Milner living area. Matula re
signed from the Senate Oct. 22
due to his scholastic problems.
Ross will appoint a successor.
Ross said the only persons pres
ently affected by conduct or
scholastic probation are those
holding student offices and, ac
cording to the University Rules
and Regulations handbook, these
students will be removed from
office.
“Senators are not considered in
an office as such,” said Ross.
“That is why we need this tech
nical change in the Constitution.”
When persons run for senator
all regulations clearly imply that
scholastic and conduct probation
are substandard for senators,
said Eberhard. “We think that
senators may justifiably be ex
pected to maintain at least mini
mum standards required by the
University.”
“It is now up to the students
to decide whether or not a stu
dent on conduct or scholastic pro
bation should remain in the
Senate. The Senate approved all
three amendments, 51-7, with two
abstentions—this is their view
point,” said Ross.
Illness Hurts
Blood Drive
The Aggie Blood Drive collected
almost 400 units in the first day
of its two day drive.
The Student Government and
assisting organizations hope to
collect 1,000 units. Mike Bunch,
Alpha Phi Omega president, said
colds caused by the wet, chilly
weather had hurt the drive some
what.
The Wadley Institute is taking
blood in Rooms 225 and 226 of
the MSC and will continue
through 5 p. m. Thursday.
Registered donors are urged to
appear at their assigned times but
students and faculty members
need not be registered to donate.
