country,” said Professor James E.
Gunn at the formal announcement
of the Texas A&M University Lib
rary research collection Monday.
Gunn also revealed that A&M has
been named as the regional de
pository for the Science Fiction
Writers’ Guild.
Gunn, a professor of journalism
and English at the University of
Kansas, teaches courses in fiction
writing and science fiction. He has
authored over 60 stories and 13 pub
lished books.
He also edited films shown as part
of the dedication ceremonies. The
films concerned the histoiy, ideas
and directions of science fiction
through the thinking of Isaac
Asimov, Frederick Pohl and Harlan
Ellison.
Gunn explained the continued in

time it became a literary specialty in
the late 1800s to the present as a
matter of perspective and poten

Coyote sponsors
Ball Hookers’
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Com
edian Vaughn Meader played the
piano. A waitress undid the top of
her gown to find relief from the heat
of the ballroom. Six belly dancers
performed.
Others, in costumes ranging from
mostly naked to white ties and tails,
just did their thing at the first annual
Hookers Ball which ended early
Monday morning at the
Longshoremen’s Hall.
It was billed as “the social event ol
the year for heterosexuals, bisexu
als, trisexuals, transexuals, nonsex-
uals and other minorities who feel
they are discriminated against. ”
The event which started Sunday
night was sponsored by Coyote, an
organization of prostitutes which
describes itself as “a loose women’s
organization.”
‘Isn’t this marvelous, ’ said
Marge St. James, Coyote leader.
“We just hope this will raise enough
money so that we can lay down a
financial base for the organization
and establish a bail bond fund.”
It was not immediately known
how much the event raised. About
300 persons attended the party that
preceded the ball, and they were
supposed to pay $25 each. But those
who couldn’t pay were admitted
free. The same policy held for the
ball, where participants were to pay
$10.
Meader, the comedian who be
came famous with his imitations of
the late President John F. Kennedy
in the early 1960s, came dressed as a
lion tamer.

dered letters from the future,” he
said. “It provides different vantage
points for looking at the world. ”
Dr. R. E. Stewart, chairman of
the Library Council, spoke of sci
ence fiction as a mirror where “soci
ety looks and smiles and says, ‘This
is what we really can do.”
“We need to consider more po
tentials of humanity, Gnnn said.
“In growing up we lose many pos
sibilities. The educational system,
by teaching something (in particu
lar), also by implication leaves out
all else. In science fiction all ideas
can be made applicable.”
The A&M collection is the result
of four years of development and
acquisitions. Donations to the col
lection were made by aft A&M
graduate, by Dr. Leslie M. Bagnall
of the mechanical engineering de
partment and by others interested
in the collection.
Part of the collection is three
manuscripts of Howard Waldrop,
author of “The Texan-Israeli War. ”
The Texas A&M University Lib
rary was chosen by the Science Fic
tion Writers of America as a regional
depository.
“Our one wish, I think, would he
that this collection may benefit and
encourage scholarship in years to
come,” said Dr. Henry L. Als-
meyer, acting director of libraries.

By-laws subcommittee chairman
Ed Martin, a Texas Student Lobby
(TSL) board member from the Uni

the tax status of TSA and TSL as a

“By-laws mean nothing if we
don’t get down to issues, ” said Mar

NEW YORK (AP) — Two major

they are increasing wholesale prices

fund raising and public relations.
Also during the convention, TSA
Vice President Larry Zacharias gave
notice of his resignation due to lack
of time to TSA President Jack Mar
tin.
Martin said he will send the name
of his appointment to replace Zac
harias within 10 days to association
members for their approval.
At the convention, finance, by
laws and administration subcom
mittees were established.
At an informal TSL meeting at the
end of the convention, Ed Martin
said an interim committee on uni
versity relations was needed to hold
hearings, compile information and
keep input going in between the
legislature’s six-month sessions.
Martin said it was vital to get a few
students on each campus doing re
search on issues in time to prepare
proposals for the start of the legisla
tures next session in January.
This year TSL will concentrate on
regulating building use fees, getting
students on the Board of Regents
and making students’ right to allo
cate student service fees statutory.
The next TSA hoard meeting will
he Nov. 24 in Austin. Two more
conventions may be held this year.
