T \j, 1 1 HAVE ID BE H KESTKlCTED TO h| VONE THlN6...y *| Reservoir provokes conflict WU CAN LOVE MUSIC, AND ALSO LOVE ANOTHER PER60N... DID VOU KNOW THAT? The proposed Millican Reser voir project provoked controversy at College Station’s city council meeting Tuesday. The controversy involved the residents directly affected by the project and the city’s need for a new water supply and aquatic recreation area. The council’s ac tion on the project included a proposal to send two representa tives to Washington, D.C. to com municate the community’s ideas on the reservoir to the proper con gressional committee involved. The council finally agreed to ask Congress for $375-500,000 funding for the dam. A represen tative from the Army Corps of Engineers was asked to attend the council’s next meeting April 22 to explain the entire project as it now is set up. To maintain their present profit margins, the water and electricity utility companies will be forced to raise their current rates 16.7% and 13.9%, respectively. The council postponed any action on the rate hike until Monday’s scheduled meeting. Another emotional issue was the probable rise in utility rates, affecting university housing as well as all other city users. Chinese present The council also set up a com mittee to consider what should be done with the additional revenues brought in by the hotel-motel tax. The amount in question is esti mated to reach approximately $34-44,000 per year, one-sixth of which must be spent by the coun cil to benefit the city directly.

Douglas Jewelry 212 N„ Main Downtown Bryan 822-3119 Cultural exchange is the pur pose of the Chinese College Stu dent Program which will present a free theatrical presentation to night at 8. Ten student from Taiwan are touring the western and southern United States in an attempt to share their culture with American college students on a personal level. Sponsored by the Chinese Stu dent Organization and the Human Issue Discussion Group, the group will perform on ancient Chinese instruments, sing opera, have a kung-fu presentation and show classical Chinese costumes from the six dynasties of China. They will also lead the audience in song. After the show, free refresh ments will be available in Room 701 of the Rudder Tower. After the refreshments, a 30 minute panel discussion will be held fol lowed by individual encounter of the native Chinese students with American students. “The idea is to bring the Free Chinese culture before Ameri can students and their commun ities to show that this culture is worth preserving as part of the free world heritage,” said Ray Lieu, student coordinator for the event. The 10 students who are per forming are part of the twenty most outstanding university stu dents from the thirty universities of Taiwan. “All speak English and are sponsored by the nation,” Lieu said. The Chinese Student Organiza tion on campus is partially re sponsible for bringing the group although the Department of Ed ucation in Taiwan lists TAMU among its choices for students’ extended education and planned the tour. “We hope to spark interest in both the student body and com munity,” Lieu said. “Mostly we’re interested in bringing culture to the students who might in turn ask for such things as a Chinese language course and in joining the student organization.” Pan-Am Week m progress The customary Pan-American Week is in progress at A&M this week. Sports events will take place all week with finals Wednesday through Friday. The weekend will bring the tra ditional smorgasbord and folks show at the Ramada Inn Ball room.

ENGINEERING, MATH AND PHYSICS MAJORS The Navy has a challenging field open to second semester juniors and all seniors who are majoring in engineering, math and physics. The Navy is looking for highly-qualified officers to operate nuclear power engineering plants aboard nuclear powered submarines and surface ships. In addition, the Navy is also looking for qualified men and women to serve as instructors and research officers at one of two Nuclear Power Schools, or at the Di vision of Naval Reactors at Arlington, Virginia. Each officer will receive one year of training consisting of 24 weeks at a Nuclear Power School and 26 weeks at a Nuclear Power Training Unit, a training program that is unmatched anywhere in the world. Submarine officers will also receive a 5-week course of Submarine School. Chances for additional training and post-graduate courses are excellent. The new and highly-complex Navy of today looks upon its nuclear power officers as the ones who will lead the Navy in the future.
