The resolution passed 49 to 10. The resolution was originally ac cepted with the exact figure of the maximum tickets that can be bought left open. For home games the se nate voted 36 to 31 to retain the 20-ticket maximum. Ten and two were also suggested as limits. For away games 6, 10 and 20 tic ket limits were suggested, with 31 voting for 6, 32 against, 47 voting for 10, 16 against. . Senators discussed the effect var ious limits would have on the length of lines, scalping and the limited number of tickets available for away games. Another ticket resolution calling for tickets to be distributed in en velopes drawn from barrels rather than the present seniority system, failed, by a 23 to 30 vote. John Nash, student vice presi dent of external affairs, proposed the resolution saying, €, fn the ab sence of a compelling reason to the contrary, people have an mnerent right to an equal chance.” Nash accepted a friendly amendment which would have put the resolution before the student body in a referendum on the spring election. Senator Bruce Crager introduced a substitute proposal to Nash’s amendment seeking a compromise between a lottery and seniority sys tem. It failed, 24 to 34. A third -ticket resolution intro duced by Senator Rajesh Kent, failed by a voice vote. It would have recommended the Athletic De partment allocate to students a number of home game tikets equal to or greater than the number of students paying athletic fees. Athletic Department Business Manager Wallace Groff said the re solution could have been detrimen tal to the department s budget if tic kets allocated for students were un sold. In other action, a resolution revis ing student election regulations passed by a voice vote. The resolution will end the mid semester grade filing requirement for freshman elections, and set a two-week time limit on campaigns. A 10-day filing period was estab lished ending five school days prior to the election. Freshman elections will be held Nov. 14 with a filing period from Oct. 31 to Nov. 7. Candidates can not withdraw their names after the filing period ends. HANDS RAISE HIGH as the Student Senate votes on ticket distribution proposals at their meeting last night.

Elections commission officials can deal directly with overt viola tions. Disputed cases can be brought to the Judicial Board which can issue a 24 hour injunction halt ing the disputed action until the board can meet and decide the case. Candidates found guilty of viola tions can be disqualified from the election. Schooling ‘de-emphasizes* Mexican-American culture After lengthy debate on the pros and cons of limiting campaign spending, an amendment reinsert ing the former limit of $60 passed, 46 to 18. On first reading, was a Battalion condemnation resolution by Dale Foster and Duane Thompson. The resolution supported the MSC Council’s recent criticism of the Battalion’s policy on coverage of campus news. It also called for a survey on stu dent opinion concerning the Battalion’s news coverage. David Stockard and Michael Papen were appointed to vacant se nate positions. Stockard will rep resent the Graduate College of En gineering and Papen will represent Hotard-Walter-Milner.

He discussed the importance of the Mexican-American culture in bilingual education at a meeting of the Committee for the Awareness of Mexican-American Culture. Gomez said the rejection is brought about by a child entering into a school where he is exposed to a different heritage and taught in a different language. Dr. Gomez as serted that there comes a point when the child thinks of ways to change his lifestyle in order to be accepted. Dr. Gomez defined culture as “behavior — what we do.” He said that many people of minority cul tures go through four stages in life: bewilderment in society, initial re jection of culture, gradual accep tance of culture and eventual pride in heritage. Gomez, an advocate of bilingual education, said there should be bilingual education courses which “show that there should be pride in heritage,” although he admits that “it isn’t easy to tell what it is to be proud of one’s heritage. ” He said that currently only 212 schools in Texas participate in bilin gual education programs, although 23 percent of the school population fa* t6e cmet&tctl A very new and different concept in shops has opened its doors in Col lege Station.

Dr. Gomez said the program be nefits all students, not just the Spanish-speaking ones. “We be lieve that in order for it to succeed, Anglos must become involved.” “There are still objections to the program,” but Gomez expressed the hope that continued success in the program will convince people of the worth of bilingual education. Nixon readmitted LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Former President Richard M. Nixon was readmitted to Memorial Hospital Medical Center of Long Beach Wednesday night for further diagnostic tests for the phlebitis condition in his left leg, a hospital spokeswoman said. Spokeswoman Karen Krantz said Nixon was admitted about three hours after he arrived from his San Clemente home. She said she did not know whether the decision to admit Nixon was made before or after he arrived or how long he would be staying. Jack Weiblen, hospital vice pres ident, said Nixon returned to the hospital in this seaside industrial city for “repeat diagnostic test.” He did not elaborate.
