issued on the inquiry, the staff
disclosed Tuesday it is gathering
information on 55 separate activ

sident Nixon’s re-election
campaign and Nixon personally.
The investigation has been or
ganized into six major areas, the
largest dealing with allegations of
White House involvement in the
collecting of campaign contribu

agencies for political purposes.
The report lists 26 categories

them involving allegations that

campaign received favorable
treatment from the government.
Among the 26 are allegations

oil corporation that made a con

about the continuance of the serv
ice for the fall semester.
Transportation Enter-
prises, Inc., owners of the buses,
have asked for approximately a
4.4 per cent increase on their
rates per hour. Rates are now
$7.25 per hour per bus and the in
crease would add about 32 cents.
“If we grant the increase in
full we won’t be able to do any
thing over the summer to prepare
for next fall,” said Ed Davis, di
rector of management services,
referring to items such as passes
and bus stop signs.
Dean of Men Charles Powell
said the committee must consider
its responsibilities to the students
who now use the service.
“At this point in time there is
no way to cut the service to meet
the demand,” said Powell. “We
would have to get additional
money from other sources.”
Powell said that the service was
dubious at best. “Inflation has
just about hit all of us. We’ll be
extremely lucky to come up with
any service at all for next fall.”
Dr. Nicholas Sanchez, assistant
professor of economics, and James
Numan, political science major,
spoke to the committee about a
research project Numan had
done.
The study was conducted last
year when the service was free
for the users and material intro
duced to the committee was some
what out-dated, said Sanchez.
Staff Assistant to the Presi
dent Roger Miller summed up the
meeting with Sanchez by saying
most of the material Sanchez had
was information the committee
learned the hard way.
Sanchez said there was and still
is a waste involved with the serv
ice. This waste is the difference
between how much the service is
valued by the consumer and how
much the service actually cost.
“This waste is often reflected
in higher apartment rents or low
er services in the apartments,”
said Sanchez.
Sanchez said that at the time of
the study the service was worth
approximately $20 to the students
using it.
In conclusion, Sanchez recom
mended the committee specify
their goals and determine the ex
tent that they are being satisfied.
Then the committee should de
cide which of its assumptions are
correct before making further de
cisions.
Prize-winning
gift steer to be
eaten by club
The Houston Livestock Show’s
record-setting, $40,000 fat steer,
is now the property of A&M.
The 1,293-pound Maine-Anjou-
Angus crossbred was judged the
grand champion of the Houston
show last Friday. Its exhibitor,
Theresa Scott of Rising Star,
then saw her 18-month-old animal
set an international record price
in auction bidding Saturday.
Stock Show President Tommie
Vaughn, Houston automobile deal
er and a member of the Aggies’
1939 national champion football
team, formed a syndicate with 31
other persons to buy the steer.
Vaughn then gave the animal
to Edgar Brown, Jr., of Orange,
long-time supporter of the Hous
ton show and frequent buyer of
champion livestock. He promptly
donated the champion to A&M.
Brown’s wife is the buyer of the
grand champion pen of broilers
this year for $7500.
The 1974 Houston Livestock
Show was dedicated to Brown in
recognition of his many years of
support. He is an honorary mem
ber of the A&M Saddle and Sir
loin Club, an organization of stu
dents majoring in animal science.
Dr. O. D. Butler head of the
A&M Animal Science Department,
said the steer will be observed
and studied for only a couple of
days. The champion has a final
rendevous Wednesday in A&M’s
meats laboratory. Its carcass will
then be judged against those of
other top steers in the Houston
event.
However, the steer still has one
showing to go. Butler said the
animal’s “40,000 worth of beef”
will be served during the Saddle
and Sirloin Club annual awards
banquet April 19.
