an interview about 11:15 p. m.
Hearne City Manager E. C.
Suggs said he heard Abrams re
signed at a city council meeting
Monday.
However, Suggs said he left the
meeting early.
City clerk Mae Beth Bishop re
vealed the check earlier this year
when she said Abrams directed
her to make it out in 1971.
She said Abrams told her the
money went to U. S. Rep. W. R.
Poage’s campaign chest. Poage, a
Democrat from Waco, denied re
ceiving the money and requested
federal investigation.
Abrams later apologized to
Poage.
Indictments were returned

The decision was 5-4, broken
by Chairman Mark T. Blake-

The second case was David
Funderburke vs. Greg Magruder
and Larry McRoberts, his cam
paign manager.
The case centered on four
charges: 1) Magruder made “un
authorized” use of personnel
mailboxes in Krueger-Dunn; 2) a
possible illegality exists for such
use; 3) invalid statements were
contained in Magruder’s cam
paign literature; 4) he took un
fair advantage by using the mail
boxes.
Magruder was announced as the
winner of the Residence Hall
Association presidential race.
Funderberg brought seven ex
hibits to illustrate his points.
McRoberts answered Funder
berg by saying use of the mail
boxes was approved by postal

ITS A RIP-OFF
Have you read those recent announcements in THE BAT
TALION, outlining a program where students can now pur
chase brand name products direct from the manufacturer or
distributor? They claim they can save students the huge re
tail mark-up on the majority of products they are buying now
and will soon be buying after graduation. Nothing is that
good. IT MUST BE A RIP-OFF—RIGHT? Did you also hear
they guarantee - in writing - double the difference back in
cash . . . should the buying service price in every area, not
be lower than all other discount or regular retail store prices!
No one could do that on over 750,000 products—even if they
have been in business for twenty years. THERE MUST BE
A CATCH! Of course you have heard that a few of your
friends attended meetings, explaining the buying service,
and were excited about the money they could save. But what
do they know—YOU’RE NOT GOING TO GET RIPPED-OFF!
Besides, you can’t afford to take forty-five minutes at a
meeting to find out how to save 600 - 1000 dollars on your
next car, or thirty to sixty percent on your next stereo pur
chase, or most anything you’re going to buy.
YOU ARE RIGHT - IT’S A RIP-OFF! EVERY DAY YOU
CONTINUE TO BUY ITEMS ON THE RETAIL LEVEL,
YOU ARE BEING RIPPED-OFF!
But you’ll have no one to blame but yourself if you don’t take
the time to find out more about this buying service program.
Make us prove it to you!

W. G. Ferris, dorm coordinator’s
absence.
The mailboxes had previously
been used by other groups as
means of reaching residents with
unmetered, non-postage mailings,
McRoberts said.
Magruder’s campaign litera
ture cited experience in both the
dorm government and dorm ac
tivities.
McRoberts admitted that al
though Magruder had held a
defacto dorm position, it was only
for a short time. He maintained
that Magruder had served in
dorm government, however.
In reply to the accusation of
unfair use of the mailboxes, Mc
Roberts said that the mailing was
done in good faith with authori
zation. It was a smart campaign
tactic, McRoberts concluded.
Funderberg said that Collins
didn’t have the authority to make
such a decision, in rebuttal to
McRobert’s statements.
The 5-3-1 decision upheld Ma
gruder’s election as RHA presi
dent.

Emergency relief
American Red Cross Staff and
Volunteers have been working
around the clock to help with re
lief of thousands of tornado vic
tims in eleven states that were
hit with eighty tornados, the
worst in 49 years.
There have been more than
three hundred persons reported
killed and thousands injured.
Home destruction is running in
the thousands of dollars.
Red Cross Chapters across the
nation are accepting special as
sistance to help finance the aid
in the disaster areas. Your help
is needed and donations may be
made to the Disaster Relief Fund
at the American Red Cross Of
fice, 1706 Texas Ave, Room 216,
Bryan, Texas.
Town Hall individual preference
polls will be the principle criteria
by which performers for the 1974-
1975 series of concerts are chosen
to appear.
The student opinion polls con
taining names of various popular
recording artists will be available
at Sbisa, Krueger-Dunn and
Duncan Dining Halls, aboard all
shuttle buses, at the University
Center and for off-campus stu
dents in each of the different
apartment managers’ offices.
Surveys are to be deposited in the
bollot box provided.
The polls will be reviewed by
Student opinions
the Town Hall selection commit
tee and attempts will be made to
coordinate the open dates on the
most preferred artists concert
tours with the open dates on the
Town Hall calendar.
Unfortunately, the same artists
who are popular at TAMU are
very likely to be popular else
where also. Many bands make
commitments more than a year
in advance and are not available
on certain dates. Hopefully, by
scheduling Town Hall selection
committee meetings earlier this
year than usual this problem will
be eliminated.
SCONA preparations
SCON A, Student Conference on
National Affairs, is looking ahead
to its 20th year already.
John Nash, chairman, says the
SCONA executive committee is
seeking student input in choosing
a topic for the event next spring.
He asks interested students to
drop off suggestions at the SCO
NA cubicle in the Student Pro
grams Office in the Memorial Stu
dent Center. They can also be
phoned in at 845-1515.
A meeting to discuss topics will
be held Thursday at 7 p. m. in the
Council Meeting Room of the Stu
dent Programs Office, Nash said.
All students are invited to bring
suggestions.
