Judge Davis said, ‘Along with the
staff's recommendation, reasons
given by members in favor of
Southwest Research were their ex

Kershaw to fiddle
cajun-style y Friday
Town Hall will present the Rajin’
Cajun Doug Kershaw Friday night
at 8 p.m. in G. Rollie White Col
iseum.
Kershaw, this year s second Town
Hall presentation, will give Aggies a
taste of his world-famous showman
ship and stage antics. He performs
his songs with a unique style of fid
dle playing and cajun singing not
found on the concert tour.
A performer since 8, Kershaw has
played his fiddle from the Hol
lywood Bowl to Madison Square
Gardens. The Boston Symphony
has honored his musical genius with
a guest artist performance.
Witnesses of his previous con
certs have likened Kershaw’s play
ing style to an angry alligator, slap
ping his imiginary tail as he saws
away on his fiddle.
Popular songs originated by cajun
Kershaw are Louisiana Man, a. 3Vi
million record seller in 1961 and
Diggy Diggy Lo. Since “Louisiana”
Doug has had many popular hits and
entertained many thousand faithful
fans.
The 36-year-old artist works out
of Nashville, the Country-Western
capital of the U.S. Kershaw enjoys
the easy surroundings of Nashville.
He said he’s as comfortable in New
York as a bullfrog in a crystal bal
lroom.
In the course of a concert the
Louisiana singer ha^ transferred his
audiences to a frenzy as his fiddle
playing turns into an excited frenzy.
Kershaw has analyzed his style in
the following words, “Anything I
write or sing on stage, I do in cajun
music because I am a cajun, but
being an American cajun I have the
influence of a lot of other things. ”

Council wants more
fine arts programs
By BARBARA WEST
Staff Writer
The need for more programs in
fine arts was expressed Wednesday
at the first meeting of the Dean of
Women’s Council.
Gillian Russ suggested activities
in art be established to allow stu
dents to participate. She said that
opportunities other than art collec
tions need to be brought to the
campiifi.
Ellen Ruppel, representing
OPA, called for more opportunity
for students to participate in music
programs.
Toby Rives, associate director of
student affairs, said of existing prog
rams, “All of it is by trial, and is not
necessarily for enjoyment. It is for
someone who already has some abil
ity. ”
A need for classes in instrumental
and choral music was expressed.
The council is composed of rep
resentatives from several campus
organizations and residence halls.
Rives said she was pleased that
enough organizations were in
terested to send representatives.
“There is a need for women to be
involved for sure, Rives said.
The council serves as an informa
tion exchange between campus
groups. Current plans are discussed
and suggestions for further prog
rams and activities are made. These
suggestions may be taken to other
groups for implementation or they
may be passed on for consideration
by the Office of Student Affairs.
Sixteen campus groups were rep
resented at the meeting.

A lottery would give freshmen an
equal chance with seniors for good
seats. A similar lottery system has
been instituted at the University of
Texas.
A parking ticket resolution by SG
vice presidenf of Finance Curt
Marsh was approved by a voice
vote. The resolution calls for a $2
fine for a first offense. Subsequent
offenses will remain a $5 fine.
Campus Police Chief O. L.
Luther feels the resolution will not
substantially increase the police
administrative load, Marsh told the
senators.
Marsh drafted the resolution be
cause he said he thought $5 was too
high to charge for a first offense.
Jeff Dunn, vice president of
Academic Affairs, presented the
seven sections of the National Stu
dent Lobby (NSL) Title IX Resolu
tions.
The resolution was drawn up by
the NSL to “strengthen the intent”
and make more effective a recent
series of Health Education and Wel
fare Regulations to end sex dis
crimination on college campuses.
The seven sections and senate
position on them were as follows:
1. Calling for strict enforcement
of the HEW regulations-
—disapproved
2. Calling for balanced recruit
ing in college admissions-
—disapproved
3. Calling for equal opportunity
in collegiate athletics — disap
proved
4. Prohibiting discrimination on
the basis of marital status-
—approved
5. Calling for employers to use
unisex premium tables in their'
employees insurance programs.'
— approved
6. Calling for equal opportunity
in curriculum—disapproved
7. Calling for each school to
have an Affirmative Action Prog
ram to compile statistics on
minorities.—disapproved
An election regulation resolution
presented by SG vice president of
Rules and Regulations John Tyler
was read for the first time. The re
solution would end the mid-term
grade filing qualification for fresh
men elections. Adoption of this re
solution would allow the elections to
be held earlier in the school year.
