The presentation was heard by ihe 85th District Court Thursday. Personal Bond Offices can be es tablished in judicial districts with more than one county or in separate ^unties. They have to be approved V commissioner court. The Grand Jury was granted a !0-day extension by District Court Judge W. C. Davis Sept. 30 to con- Itinue its study of bail bond practices ® Brazos County. Mrs. Robert Cochran, grand jury foreman, sa ; d the study was made because there were some ine qualities in the setting of bonds when the charges were the same. †Other recommendations by the jury read as follows: —Bonding alternatives should be thoroughly explained at the time of the magistrate warning. The alter natives explained should include personal cash and bail bonds with Yell practice site moved WACO—Midnight Yell Practice has been moved to the Waco Con vention Center instead of the origi nal Midway High School location. The Aggie Band and yell leaders will assemble at the Convention Center at 11:30 p.m. Friday. The Center is located on Franklin Av- sureties. (Sureties serve as a guaran tee that the accused will appear in court.) —The judge, magistrate, sheriff or other person whose reponsibility is to accept or reject bail bondsmen and investigate their financial stand ing to ascertain if the person is qual ified under article 17.11 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Article 17.11 states that the judge, magistrate or other officer taking a bond shall require the bondsman to show proof that he can pay the money in case the person they represent does not show in court. The bondsman must have a double amount of money or prop erty in comparison to the bond in order to make bail. Also if a person has signed as a surety on a bail bond and is in de fault then he is disqualified to sign a bond as long as he is in default. If the surety is in default it is the clerk’s Cooperative doctoral agreement approved for A&M and Baylor duty to notify the sheriff, chief of police or any other law enforcement officer. —Legislation be enacted requir ing that all bondsmen be licensed as stipulated in article 2372 p-3 of the Code of Criminal Procedures which presently applies only to those counties with a population of over 150,000. Most bondsmen in Brazos County are not licensed. —That running records be main tained by both the sherifFs depart ment and the bondsmen to indicate the number and amount of bonds outstanding, thus reflecting how much a bondsman has committed at any one time. —That the court, judge, magis trate or other officer who has the responsibility of taking a bail bond, accept the responsibility of raking a bail bond, accept the responsibility to enforce Article 17.11. (See GRAND JURY, p. 5) By MARY RUSSO Staff Writer John Chappelle resigned both as Corps commander and as a student at the university Thursday. Rickey Gray, deputy Corps commander, has stepped into the top spot. “Personal reasons†were cited as the cause of the resignations by Col. Thomas R. Parsons, commandant of the Corps. He had been in constant communication with Chappelle for 48 hours before the resignations were tendered. Parson’s secretary said. “Things had been mounting up on John for some time. None of us (the Corps Staff) really knew what they were. He’s been gone for days at a time. We didn’t know whether he’d been going to class. We just don’t keep that close of tabs on each other,†said Gray, who had been Chappelle’s roommate. Chappelle has been cited as a “dedicated young man†by Gen. Ormond R. Simpson, assistant vice-president for student services. That statement was backed up by Dr. Charles Powell, director of stu dent affairs, and other adminis trators. Chappelle has also been criti cized by Corps members who were unhappy about his distantness and his recent irritability, commented a Coips staff member. Chappelle’s treatment of women in the Corps, dining policies, un iform policiesand punishment have perturbed Corps staff members. ^ Aside from this structure change, Chappelle’s attitude of “what I say goes, no matter how many think dif ferently†also offended great num bers of commanders. As Corps Commander, Chap pelle led the way to changes that have also caused dissent among commanders and other Corps members. Five of the seven members on Corps Staff had asked Chappelle for his resignation, but when it came, “we were all shocked,†said Gray. The reasons for Chappelle’s res- JOHN CHAPPELLE ignations range from family prob lems to academics to personal health, said a friend of Chappelle’s who asked not to be identified. All of these had become one “too big, too bad†problem, Parsons said. “He hadn’t been attending class like he should, †Dr. Douglas Stone, head of the Management Depart ment, said. Chappelle was a senior management major. “He’d lost class days due to hos pitalization and hearing loss from the bombing of his room earlier in the semester,†Stone said. With absences from class for health and reasons that are common to other campus leaders, plus trying to sort out family problems involv ing the health of close relatives, Chappelle had fallen behind in class work and grades, said Chappelle’s friend. “He left suddenly Wednesday night. He came with a van and picked up all his things,†Gray said. Chappelle had been out of town for several days before he left, accord ing to Gray. Gray said he hopes that his re placement as deputy is filled by RICK GRAY another Corps staff member. “If this should happen, that per son would double up on duties un less it got to be too much, Gray said. Corps policy will remain much the same as it was under Chappelle, but with a “few personal touches said Gray. “But this is only natural because everybody’s different.†Recently, there hasn’t been a Corps commander resign, although company, wing and battalion com manders have been known to do so often. In leaving the university, Chap pelle joins the annual numbers who- resign. “Some 20 to 25 Corps mem bers and 50 to 60 civilian students resign from school during the first term annually,†said Jerry Mainord, civilian Corps adviser. Simpson said he hopes that Chappelle will return to school sometime in the future. His Army scholarship can be held open one year, he said. “If Chappelle chooses to do so, he will need two more semesters to graduate,†said Simpson.

The agreement sets up a coopera tive relationship for development of graduate programs “for the purpose of achieving more effective utiliza tion of resources in meeting the needs of graduate students enrolled in either or both of the two institu tions. †Guidelines for administering the program are outlined in the ag reement. The paper must be signed by Graduate College Dean G. W. Kunze and President Jack K. Wil liams and their counterparts at Baylor, Dr. Joseph L. Melnick, dean of graduate sciences, and Dr. Michael DeBakey, president of the Baylor College of Medicine. Also approved were new graduate degree programs in Bioengineering and Ocean En gineering. If approved by the Coor dinating Board for Texas colleges the degrees offered in these fields will include a Master of Science, Master of Engineering and Ph.D. Ten new graduate and under graduate courses were approved by the council while seven existing courses were withdrawn. All the withdrawn courses were graduate level in Biology and Philosophy. Recommendations for changes in hours of theory, practice and credit were approved for four Veterinary Anatomy courses. Six course title changes were pas sed and one Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences course was approved for cross-listing under Marine Sci ences. An existing policy on minimum hours required for a baccalaureate degree was restated for greater ac curacy and clarity. The policy states that a student may, with permis sion, use advanced ROTC courses to satisfy the 128 hour minimum providing he has already completed 124 credit hours, excluding P.E. and advanced ROTC. A list of December degree candi dates was also approved. Dr. Bonnie Stadelman of the His tory department was accepted as a nominee to replace Dr. B. M. Un- terberger on the Library Council. Unterherger asked to resign from the position earlier this year. C. SHAW SMITH, the Association of College Unions-International, president delivered the keynote address Thursday to the Region 12 conference being held at TAMU. Smith centered his speech around “the three A’s†of the college union—atmosphere of the union, activities in the union and the attitude of the students using the college union. The conference, attended by 491 delegates from Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana, will conclude Saturday. Bentsen, Muniz to talk on elections Presidential, gubernatorial races represented U. S.

Muniz feels that each student attending public school should be guaranteed a qual ity education based on the student’s needs. The CAMAC and Political Forum presentation will be free to the pub lic.
